Early Church history and the Sabbath

Because of my research into end times events I have been studying early church history. One of the things that I have found to be very interesting is the fact that the early Christian church continued to worship on the Sabbath for about 300 years after the Death and Resurrection our Lord and Savior. The reason that they stopped worshiping on the Sabbath was because of persecution first by the Pharisees driving out the Gentile Christians from temple worship and then by Rome making it a law to worship on Sunday and to work on the Sabbath. Many Christians continued to worship on the Sabbath in secret for many year after this.

The Lord did not change the law about the Sabbath it was just forgotten, which is ironic seeing that the commandment concerning the Sabbath starts with the word remember, as in "Remember the Sabbath and keep it holy". Understand that God himself wrote the commandments with his own finger in stone to be kept forever.

So before you quote BBE: Colossians Chapter 2 [16] For this reason let no man be your judge in any question of food or drink or feast days or new moons or Sabbaths: Understand that this verse and the rest of the chapter is talking about the extra rules and regulations that the Pharisees had heaped on to the law. Such as the washing of cups and not carrying more than a hanky and the observance the yearly sabbaths small s, like the feast of trumpets and Yom Kippur and the like.

Now I am not saying that we should all become 7th day Adventist's but there is no Biblical reason not to observe the Sabbath. We need to follow what is in the Bible and not the traditions of man.

BBE: Isaiah Chapter 66 [22] For as the new heaven and the new earth which I will make will be for ever before me, says the Lord, so will your seed and your name be for ever. [23] And it will be, that from new moon to new moon, and from Sabbath to Sabbath, all flesh will come to give worship before me, says the Lord.

If it is good enough for the new heaven and new earth then it ought to be good enough for us.

I know I've just stirred up a hornets nest and am probably in for a thumping (not really) but I have to be true to God's word.
