You have NOT answered the question!
Or is the answer - "THERE IS NO VERSE that tells NT Christians to bring the offerings on Sat??????"
and that you just refuse to admit it???
I thought you know better than your question.
I have already disproved that Sunday was the day of collecting the donations even if we looked at 1 Cor 16:1-2, because the verse indicates
that each one had to lay up by him in store.
1 Cor 16
2 Upon the first day of the week
let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come.
The most of the common donations might have been grain instead of money as the government officers and soldiers received the wages by money, but the farmers
offered the grains, oils, wines etc. Therefore such preparation of the donations were done by him in store, which means it was done at home.
This doesn’t imply that they brought the donations to the church buildings on the Sunday.
This is what I explained to you.
Now if you have read the OT carefully, there were 7 Holy Convocations plus Sabbath. Including Sabbath, there were 8 Feasts.
On every Sabbath, they offered 1) 2 lambs burnt offering. 2) 2 tenth of Epha of grain mingled with oil, 3) Frankincense, 4) Change of Shewbread, 5) Arrange Menorah in order.
There was no need for the Believers to mention the offerings should be made on the Sabbaths!
For this, the people used to gather together, and in other places than Jerusalem, people gathered in the synagogues remembering this.
This was done weekly on Sabbath.
Leviticus 23
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the feasts of the Lord, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my feasts.
3 Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is
the sabbath of rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath of the Lord in all your dwellings.
37 These are the feasts of the Lord, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations,
to offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord, a burnt offering, and a meat offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings, everything upon his day:
38 Beside the sabbaths of the Lord, and beside your gifts, and beside all your vows, and beside all your freewill offerings, which ye give unto the Lord.
Leviticus 24:8
4 He shall order the lamps upon the pure candlestick before the Lord continually.
5 And thou shalt take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes thereof: two tenth deals shall be in one cake.
6 And thou shalt set them in two rows, six on a row, upon the pure table before the Lord.
7 And thou shalt put
pure frankincense upon each row, that it may be on the bread for a memorial, even an offering made by fire unto the Lord.
8 Every sabbath he shall set it in order before the Lord continually, being taken from the children of Israel
by an everlasting covenant.
Numbers 28
7 And the drink offering thereof shall be the fourth part of an hin for the one lamb: in the holy place shalt thou cause the strong wine to be poured unto the Lord for a drink offering.
8 And the other lamb shalt thou offer at even: as the meat offering of the morning, and as the drink offering thereof, thou shalt offer it, a sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the Lord.
9 And on the sabbath day two lambs of the first year without spot, and two tenth deals of flour for a meat offering, mingled with oil, and the drink offering thereof:
10 This is
the burnt offering of every sabbath, beside the continual burnt offering, and his drink offering.
2 Chronicle 2
Behold, I build an house to the name of the Lord my God, to dedicate it to him, and to burn before him sweet incense, and for the continual shewbread, and for the burnt
offerings morning and evening, on the
sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the solemn feasts of the Lord our God. This is an ordinance for ever to Israel.
Nehemiah 10:33
For the shewbread, and for the continual meat offering, and for the continual burnt offering, of the
sabbaths, of the new moons, for the set feasts, and for the holy things, and for the sin
offerings to make an atonement for Israel, and for all the work of the house of our God.
But Israelites failed in doing these services and in offering these sacrifices punctually.
Now Jesus Christ offered the great Sacrifice replacing all the sacrifices with His Own Blood and Death, One for ALL at the Cross.
Therefore, the Believers in the Lord after the Cross continued to gather on the Sabbaths.
Acts 13:42
And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next
sabbath.
Acts 13:44
And the next
sabbath day came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God.
If they gathered on Sundays, why did they have to wait until the next Sabbath instead of gathering just next day, the Sunday?
Acts 15:21
For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues
every sabbath day.
They were already gathering on EVERY SABBATH! Therefore there was no need for the disciples to ask the people
To come to the synagogues or to any meeting places on the Sabbath
The Sermons were made on every Sabbaths.
Acts 16:13
And on
the sabbath we went out of the city by a river side,
where prayer was wont to be made; and we sat down, and spake unto the women which resorted thither.
On the Sabbath, they had the Prayer Meetings as their continuous and regular custom!
Acts 17:2
And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and
three sabbath days reasoned with them out of the scriptures,
Paul didn’t preach on Sabbath and Sunday and Sabbath, but on Sabbath, on Sabbath, on Sabbath!
Acts 18:4
And he reasoned
in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks.
Sunday is never mentioned for gathering
Acts 20:7 was the evening time of Saturday which was used for Fellowship Dinner called Hapdallah. Sunday evening is the second day of the week.
Now you can see, Apostles and Disciples preached on every Sabbath in Acts ch 13-18 and demanded everyone to lay up by himself( or more reasonably for this issue, AT Home) in store on Sundays.
You can imagine that the Early Church Believers went to the Synagogues or to the meeting places on every Sabbath.
Then can you imagine they went to the Synagogues again, next day, on every Sunday after storing the grains, and other donations at home?
That is a total nonsense by the people obsessed with the Sunday Gathering and Sunday Worship.
Early Churches gathered on every Sabbath and they continued to offer the donations on the Sabbaths, because
The Offerings were the part of the Sacrifice and of the worship service as they offered the sacrifices on every sabbath before the Crucifixion.
There is no need to explain this to the people who know the OT.
They just replaced the Sacrifice from animal sacrifice to Lord Jesus Sacrifice on the Cross and continued the same gathering and offering the donations on Sabbaths.
Again, on Every Sabbath, they gathered and preached, read the Bible, and remembered the Sacrifice of the Lord.
There is no need to mention that the donations were made on Sabbaths because it was a part of the worship service.
Do you still need the more explanation that Early Church didn’t offer the offerings on Sundays?
I hope not!
