Charlie Kirk Explains Why Christians Should Honor the Sabbath on Saturday Not Sunday

[00:00] in terms of change of Sabbath. In your

[00:02] research, what did you find like why did

[00:04] Christians start keeping Sunday?

[00:08] >> Yeah. So, it started with the Catholic

[00:10] Church

[00:11] >> and it was a change to saying the

[00:13] Sabbath is the Lord's day

[00:15] >> or resurrection day.

[00:18] >> I I I disagree. It says on the seventh

[00:20] day. I believe the seventh day is the

[00:22] traditional Jewish calendar. I have a

[00:24] different even more macro view of that

[00:27] that we should not ever play games with

[00:29] God's perfect calendar because God is

[00:31] the creator of time and time is a

[00:34] unbelievably profound topic if you look

[00:37] at it scientifically and theologically

[00:40] >> and I could spend a whole hour on the

[00:43] concept of time but God sincerely cares

[00:46] about how we as human beings spend our

[00:48] time as you could see by the Jewish

[00:50] feasts as you could see by the Shabbat

[00:53] how God even took time to rest. And so

[00:57] I'm not going to say e if someone is

[00:59] honoring the Sabbath on Sunday that

[01:02] they'll have their own theological view

[01:04] as to why that is. I don't share that

[01:05] view. I think it should be Friday night

[01:07] to Saturday night as it, you know,

[01:09] originally is in the scriptures.

[01:11] >> But I'm not going to say if someone's a

[01:13] bad person for not doing that or not.

[01:14] That I'm I'm not that interested in it.

[01:16] But I I I will say though is that let's

[01:19] just emphasize further this idea of time

[01:23] >> that there is a belief in the modern

[01:25] world that human beings are the creators

[01:28] of time. So you look at the French

[01:30] Revolution and the Russian Revolution.

[01:32] The French Revolution actually tried to

[01:34] change the 7-day calendar to a 10-day

[01:38] calendar

[01:39] >> and they were so unsuccessful.

[01:40] >> They failed in it.

[01:41] >> It was a major failure. And the 7-day

[01:44] calendar as articulated in the first two

[01:47] books of Genesis is the rhythm of which

[01:51] that God has designed us to operate on

[01:53] this planet.

[01:55] >> And we that the the the culmination of

[01:58] that is of course the kadush in you know

[02:02] ancient Judaism or in Judaism which is

[02:04] this this proclamation that what you

[02:07] have created is good. So good in fact

[02:11] because you said it's good that I will

[02:13] now cease working because you ceased and

[02:16] you enjoyed the peace that you also

[02:19] found. Now there is a debate in some of

[02:21] the midrashes in ancient Judaism of

[02:24] whether or not God actually created rest

[02:26] on the seventh day. I'm not going to get

[02:28] into that. Uh that's a very, you know,

[02:30] hotly debated Jewish topic. If you think

[02:33] about it, did God actually end up

[02:35] creating rest on the seventh day? that

[02:37] that's that's not the the key point.

[02:39] What is more important though is that I

[02:42] have found that those who honor the

[02:45] Sabbath, it is one of the greatest

[02:49] demonstrators

[02:50] of your faith. It is one of the greatest

[02:53] outward actions of a inward commitment

[02:57] to Christ. So, we are not, you know,

[03:00] you've heard it a million times, we are

[03:02] not saved by works, but we do works not

[03:04] to get saved, but because we are saved.

[03:07] >> I believe the honoring of the Sabbath

[03:09] and dedicating a day to the Lord, which

[03:12] the moderns can't comprehend or can't

[03:14] understand, is some of the greatest

[03:16] examples of fruit of being born again by

[03:20] Christ Jesus and showing that fruit to a

[03:22] broken world.

[03:24] >> Amen.
