Q n * * /
47. Paul read the Scriptures in public meetings on that day. Acts 17:2,3
48. It was his custom to preach upon that day. Acts 17:2,3
49. The Book of Acts alone gives a record of his holding eighty-four
meetings upon that day. Acts 13:14,44; 16:13; 17:2; 18:4,11
50. There was never any dispute between the Christians and the Jews
about the Sabbath day. This is proof that the Christians still observed
the same day that the Jews did.
51. In all their accusations against Paul, they never charged him with
disregarding the SABBATH DAY Why did they not, if he did not keep
it?
52. But Paul himself expressly declared that he had kept the law.
Neither against the law of the Jews, neither against the temple, nor
yet against Ceasar, have I offended anything at all.” Acts 25:8. How
could this be true, if he had not kept the SABBATH DAY HOLY?
