Happy New Year Doug ♥️🙏✝️
Praise God! He is so good!
Unfortunately Doug Batchler is wrong about many things to often. He teaches that Constietene influenced the Church to come together on Sunday instead of Saturday Sabbath.
Which is not true. He put a stop to the Persecutions of Catholic Christians and allowed basically the freedom of Religion. And Doug Batchler also teaches that the Early Church kept the Jewish Sabbath. Also not True.
You can go back as early as 74AD
and read the Letter of Barnabas and Ignatius of Antioch 110AD that the Early Church was coming together on Sunday not
Saturday. He hasn't studied well enough to know and gets it wrong all the time. Unfortunately to many people Believe what he teaches without doing the Research.
God bless your ministry my pastor
2 The element of the unleavened bread in the Passover feast now symbolized His body, broken as He took upon Himself God’s wrath against sinful humanity. The wine now signified His own blood, poured out to seal God’s covenant with believers in Christ (Luke 22:19–20). And He commanded His followers to commemorate His death by similarly eating bread and drinking wine together until His second coming.
Christ’s transformation of the Passover meal confirmed what John the Baptist had said of Him three years earlier: He was the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world (John 1:29). By portraying His own body as broken and His blood as poured out, Jesus identified Himself as the ultimate Passover lamb. The Jewish disciples understood that as the blood of the original Passover lambs caused the angel of death to pass over the Israelites, anyone identified with the blood of Jesus would be passed over on judgment day.
John 19:14 indicates that Pilate delivered Jesus to be crucified at the same time the priests sacrificed the Passover lamb in the temple. The timing was more than coincidence. It signified that “Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed” (1 Corinthians 5:7).
A Continual Remembrance
Jesus instructed His disciples to observe this ritual of remembrance continually “until that day when [He would] drink it new with [them] in [His] father’s kingdom” (Matthew 26:29).
Following Jesus’ command, the “Lord’s Supper” became a key feature of early Church worship. So important was it that the apostle Paul set out clearly how it was to be conducted, with grave warnings for all who did not treat it with reverence (1 Corinthians 11:23–29).
