A Catechism for Girls and Boys

Part II: Questions about The Ten Commandments

Disclaimer: I believe Christ fulfilled the Sabbath and there isn’t such a thing as a “Christian Sabbath.” I’m not sure how I’d change this question if I were to use this catechism.

Do you agree with this question and answer? If not, would you change it? How?

50. Q. What day of the week is the Christian Sabbath?
      A. The first day of the week, called the Lord’s Day.

(Click through to read scriptural proof.)

On the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread, Paul talked with them, intending to depart on the next day, and he prolonged his speech until midnight.

I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet…

Scripture quoted from the English Standard Version.

I found one revised catechism that skips this question and changed question 49 to 'Q. What does the fourth commandment teach us? A. To rest knowing that God has finished his work and kept his promises in Jesus Christ."
