Incredible……I have never seen anyone like her.?
hey,
I have posted before about my recent girlfriend problems. I have been going out with her for about 2 years now. Click on my user name and try to read my question titiled "is it really over after 2 years?"
Basically, she a couple weeks ago, after 2 years of dating, she wants me to do a bunch of things…. start going to church with her 3 times a week, including Saturdays. She even wants me to quit my job because she won’t let me work on saturdays, as it is the day of rest and supposed to be devoted to GOD. If you remember, she goes to church on Saturdays and NOT Sundays, her religion is Adventista. Anyway, last night we had a long talk. I love her and I pretty much had to do all the compromising. She told me that she want’s to follow the 10 comandments of GOD. I told her that it’s quite o.k. with me. She then said that means no more sex until we are married. I told her "O.K." Then she told me that I can’t work Saturdays anymore because it is the day for GOD. I don’t know what is in her mind? I told her that I can’t just quit my job. I go to college and have 2 years left to graduate. How am I supposed to pay for college? I don’t get any student loans! I have a car payment, and a personal loan. Who will pay all this? I told her that I can do everything, even stop having sex until marriage, but I can’t quit my job, because no one will give money! She said to me, “I need someone who will follow ALL the 10 Commandments with me.” I asked her why she goes to church on Saturdays and not Sundays. Because I know her religion is “seventh-day Adventist” So the “seventh day of the week is SUNDAY NOT SATURDAY. She said, that I’m wrong and it Saturday that should be worshiped. She also said that all the people who go to church on Sunday are wrong and they don’t know what they are doing. Then she said “why don’t you want to follow me?” “Don’t you want to follow the word of GOD, because he will be coming back soon and taking with him to heaven only those who follow what the 10 commandments exactly.”
Then she had her pastor from her church e-mail me a script to show why you must go to church on Saturday and not Sunday.
I want to share it with all of you to see what you think. Here it is:
"Sunday is a Catholic institution…. From beginning to end of
Scripture there is not a single passage that warrants the transfer of weekly
public worship from the last day of the week to the first." Catholic
Press, August 1900
"For, since we [Catholics] deny that the Bible is the sole truth, we
can fall back upon the constant practice and tradition of the Church."
Francis Lentz, Catholic priest, 1900
"If Protestants would follow the Bible, they should worship God on the
Sabbath day. In keeping Sunday they are following a law of the Catholic
Church." Albert Smith, Chancellor of the Archdiocese of Baltimore, 1920
Even the Protestants themselves admit that Sunday observance is not
biblical:
"There was never any formal or authoritative change from the Jewish
[sic] seventh day Sabbath to the Christian first day observance…. The
[Gentiles] brought over the consciousness of various observances in the
pagan religions, preeminently the worship of the sun – a sort of Sunday
consciousness." W. Carver, professor at Southern Baptist Theological
Seminary, Louisville, Kentucky, 1940.
