Question
if the catholic religion is the true religion? then why is the papacy/ church changing the true sabbath from the 7 th to the first day of the week. in the book of genesis god rested the 7 th day. in Exiodus chapter 20 vs 8 he said remmember the sabbath day to keep it holy. it futher says that 6 days ye shall do thy work but the seventh day is the sabbath of the lord thy god. in the book of hebrews chapter 4 it says that some must enter into his (GOD'S) rest / sabbath  it say that god did rest from his works also, but they did not enter because of unbelief. in luke 4 vs 16 it says that on the sabbath day as jesus custom was he when in the temple for to read. if the catholic church was the true church then why did they kill over 50,000,000 christians. The 3 angle message speakes about the fall of the catholic church in revelation 14 vs 6-9  verse 8 says babylon is fallen meaning the catholic church is fallen. in revelation 18 vs 1-4 talks about the fall and the condition of the church that it is the foul of ever hateful bird and unclean spirit. in the king james bible, revelation 12 talks about a woman clothe with the sun moon and 12 stars. this woman in verse 17 keeps the commands of god and have the testimony of jesus. A woman in bible prophecy means church, in 2 corinthians 11 vs 1,2,3 paul was talking to the corinthians and he consider them virgins/ pure church. and other scriptures say the same too. in revelation 17 it talks about another woman this woman rides a beast and she had a name  mystery bablyon and blasphemy meaning to call yourself god or to say you as a man or church can for give sin. the jews wanted to stone christ for saying he is god and that he can for give sin read hebrews 1 verse 8 st. john 1 vs 1 and verse 14 mathew 1 vs 21 isaiah 9 vs 12 colosians 1 and chapter 2 all of it. in revelation 13 it says vs 11 -18 talks about a beast which represent america i'm not able to go through all the reasons why the bible say this symbolize america, but this country that i love so much is going to pass a law that everyone must worship on sunday which is the mark of the beast not the 666 but sunday. beast mean kingdom daniel 7 if you really need truth don't be prejudice but just ask have no pride when you consider this info galationa 4 am i therefore become thy enemy because  i tell you the truth . when the usa pass this law then revelation 18 vs 1-4 will come to pass come out of the fallen churches those keeping sunday revelation 18 god calls the church a the mother of harlots meaning whore and she is a mother meaning she has children which are all the churches that dont keep the commandments including the sabbath saturday because the jews up until now still keep saturday as the sabbath and have the testimony of jesus. those who come out today and when the law is made will be protected from revelation 16 the seven last plagues the sunday law is what force God the father to release the 7 plagues because they change his law in EXiodus 20 vs 2 - 17 but it is the 4th commandment the sabbath   vs 8 when changed will force god to destroy those who refuse to keep his day the sabbath. luke 23 vs 51 -end and luke 24 vs 1. i have truth as it is in jesus and it does not matter what you think or believe but if you put your belief aside and obey gods word. jesus says if you love me keep my commandments john 14 vs 15 mathew 5 vs 18. god bless you.

 dear Nick,
   First, I confess I am among those who confess Jesus is Lord, in union with His Church, who worship the Father in spirit and truth.
   Yes, Catholics and majority of others, who confess Jesus, observe Sunday as the "Sabbath". Jesus, the Lord of the Sabbath. He died, and rose on the third day (Sunday)from the dead, which established the new and ever-Lasting covenant between God and His people. He ascend on Sunday. The Holy Spirit descend on the Infant Church, on Sunday. He established the Church with real power and authority, it used to establish Sunday as the Christian "Sabbath". Therefor I ask you, when do observe the "Sabbath" rest, remember no where in the OT or NT is the day named.
  Luke 4:16 mentions the synagogue not temple. Nowhere is synagogue, established within the Mosaic law. In fact, it was clearly practiced until after the Babylonian captivity. A synagogue service is very much like the first part of the Catholic Mass. The second part of the Mass is the Passover meal, in that part Catholics celebrate Jesus died and roses to be our eternal Passover before the throne of God.
   The Catholic Church has never killed anyone. However bad Catholics have killed people. So have bad Jews, so have bad Muslims, so have bad Atheist, so have bad Buddhist, so have other kinds of bad people. Where in the world did you get your outrageous 50 million.
   The Catholic Church is the great city that has fallen. It still stands as the house of Christ's faithful, with over 6 billion and growing daily. If you wish to discuss your questions more, please e-mail at the address below.
