1 Why do Christians go to church on Sundays?

I see you've done your homework Now! You make many valid and truthful points that i can sum up in 1 answer; laziness! Most people DO do the things that you mentioned, and they ARE in the Bible, yet people are siritually lazy and have become selective in what they chose to follow! Some will tell you that some of what you mentioned doesn't apply any more, so that would make the whole Bible a lie, and we both know that is untrue. Some people will not take the time to read the Bible from first page to last, instead, depending on their local minister or priest to give them sermons from individual verses. My wife and i got into this argument a while ago ( of course i was right!) about her "bible study" with her gf's. I asked her how could she teach me or anyone else about what the Bible says, when she hasn't read it fully. Well she goes on about all the verses she knows, so i asked her could she tell me everything about a movie if she's only seen the trailer? Well now she reads her Bible from Genesis to Revelation.

Lastly, some people just want to be part of the group and don't want to seem different or make waves when it comes to their belief. And that's exactly why this worlds christianity is so messed up. Too many people relying on what they're told instead of what they've read. Hope my answer helps.

Neither Christmas, nor Easter are Pagan holidays. Yes, they are on they days that the original celebrations were held, yes they replaced them. No, they are far from the same thing. Easter is about the resurrection of Jesus on the third day, not a celebration of the pagan goddess of fertility. Christmas is about the birth of Jesus, not about the Winter solstice. Yes, we use a pine tree, but we put a star or angel on the top to symbolize the star of Bethlehem, or the angel Gabriel. Tell me, do you know anyone, ANYONE at all, who practices Paganism? Did you know that Paganism never actually existed, and is a new concept of old religion? Who are you to judge the way we worship? Would you say things like this about a Hindi holiday? How about a Muslim holiday? You don't believe. Why do you care what we do? Who are YOU to say we are wrong about everything? Everything is a theory, including the Big Bang. It is possible to believe in science, and in God at the same time. My whole family does. I don't know anyone that believes that it is "The last days". It's a sin to commit adultery, which is have unmarried sex. That's why we get married; we'd rather just be regular Joe's in heaven than burn forever in hell.

1) People who serve God are not serving Nimrod (Whoever that/it is). Many people go to church on Sundays because Jesus was raised on a Sunday, and the Disciples (after his resurrection) had their gatherings on Sundays. Some people still gather together to worship on a Saturday.

2) I knew some of that

3) I'll have to check Leviticus, but yes, I knew that they changed the definition of leprosy.

4) Some people do not celebrate Pagan holidays. We do because we want to, it is not a sin in itself.

5) That passage is talking about when we/Christians are in heaven.

And on a note about people gathering on Sunday:

"One person esteems one day as better than another, while another esteems all days alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind." Romans 14:5

Christians have services on other days of the week also, not only on Sunday. For your information celebrating the birth of Jesus is not a pagan holiday.

Without going into detail about all of your misconceptions about holidays, it is clear that you are a non-believer of God and Jesus. Your remarks show you don't have a clue of what Christianity is.

I suggest that you begin reading the Holy Bible, the KJV is highly recommended. Attend a christian church and participate in bible studies. The more you learn about christianity will only do you a lot of good.

You have a funny way of "just asking questions"...

Christians worship on Sunday because Jesus rose from death on Sunday. He was executed by crucifixion on a Friday, remained dead for the Jewish Sabbath (which lasts from sundown Friday to sundown Saturday) and rose from death on the third day, Sunday (technically from sundown Saturday on, but we actually follow a slightly different calendar than Jewish people, and mark our days from midnight to midnight instead of sundown to sundown).

The practice of Sunday worship goes all the way back to Jesus' first appearances after His resurrection. He rose on a Sunday (Luke 24), appeared to the Disciples on two subsequent Sundays (John 20:19, 26), and Sunday worship is described by the Apostles throughout the New Testament (Acts 20:7, 1 Cor. 16:1-2). It is also described by early Church documents including Didache 14 and Justin Martyr's First Apology 67, Epistle of Barnabas 15 and Ignatuus of Antioch's Epistle to the Magnesians 9.

For all intents and purposes, every Sunday is a little Easter service. Just as we celebrate the annual Easter holy day in commemoration of Jesus' resurrection, we celebrate a little Easter every week. We are also very cognizant of the fact that we are worshipping Jesus and not the Sun or anything else. I assure you that,as a Christian, I am worshipping Jesus on whatever day I choose. Furthermore, the writers of the New Testament warned against allowing anybody to judge us for what day we choose to worship Him (Rom. 14:5-6, Col. 2:16-17, Gal. 4:8-10). You should not be so presumptuous to assume that because we're going to church on the Sun's Day or Saturn's Day or Thor's Day or Freya's Day or the Moon's Day that we are actually worshipping the Sun, Moon, Saturn, Freya or Thor.

The same goes for Christmas and Easter itself. Easter actually commemorates an historical event, being the death and reusrrection of Jesus. It is placed where it is in the year in roughly the same way that the Jewish Passover festival is placed, because the death and resurrection of Jesus happened during the Passover. The "last supper" was actually the Passover Seder meal that Jesus shared with His Disciples. That it happens to happen around the Spring Equinox (and thus acquired the name of a Pagan equinox festival named for Eostre) is really incidental. It's a neat coincidence, but it's not indicative of anything except some vaguely symbolic idea of the resurrection of Jesus as the renewal of our lives and hope for life after death. The holy day itself celebrates an historical event, like the Fourth of July or Remembrance Day.

Christmas is not the birthday of Jesus. Nobody knows exactly when Jesus was born, but it was probably sometime in autumn. Christmas is a celebration of the Incarnation of God in Jesus. It's a celebration of the MEANING of Jesus' life rather than His actual birthday. That it was placed on Dec. 25th is exactly BECAUSE that was around the Winter Solstice where there were already many Pagan holidays. The Pagan holidays were deliberately adapted in order to help convert people to Christianity. The Pagan celebration of the light of the Sun coming into the world was adapted to instruct them about the true light of the Son that came into the world.

Yes many of the traditions of Christmas have their roots in Northern European history, but that is more a matter of ethnic tradition thgan anything else. Nobody who puts up a Christmas tree or Mistletoe is secretly worshipping Pagan Germanic Gods. The majority of these traditions are, for all intents and purposes, secular traditions developed in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries.

As for marriage, Jesus and the Apostles also give many commands and pieces of advice concerning marriage and marital fidelity. There is no rule against marriage, so those Christian who feel a call to marriage and the fulfillment it offers go ahead and get married. There's no problem with it.

Christ rose from the tomb on Sunday, the First day of the week and ministered to his apostles after which they were told to worship on the first day of the week as part of His new covenant and order of things.

There are good answers to the rest but I won't address them now. To those who believe, proof is in abundance. To those who don't, no amount of explanation will do.

Exposing modern-day christianity as a lie is not new. It is full of pagan and idol worship. It is so far removed from the Truth that Christ asks at His return, "Will I find faith?"

To worship their anthropomorphized figure Jesus Christ who is a symbolical character who represents the sun. Christians are pagans and sun worshipers.

Because it tends to be very quiet on Friday nights
