Coffee & Christian Worldview
Episode 37

Show Notes:

When days have been elevated and been made mandatory by church or custom.
In terms of God's Law, it is both sides of "sin."

Children's Catechism:
Q. 28. What is Sin?
A. Sin is any want of conformity unto, or transgression of the law of God.

Q. 29. What is meant by want of conformity?
A. Not being or doing what God requires.

Q. 30. What is meant by transgression?
A. Doing what God forbids.

Both sides apply to each commandment.

Transgression is often overlooked here: making more holy days. Inventing regular worship.
Sin of omission: neglecting the Lord's Day.
Sin of commission: adding days of worship.

This is not just the error of Rome.
Non-Roman Catholic religious people do it, too.

Easter or church anniversaries: additions or changes to the worship service, more people, the motive for the worship is the special day, not the Lord's Day.
And what has been added is regular part of worship.
More effort and preparation is given to special days, than the Lord's Day.

God does care about how we worship him.

Westminster Shorter Catechism
Q. 50. What is required in the second commandment?
A. The second commandment requireth the receiving, observing, and keeping pure and entire, all such religious worship and ordinances as God hath appointed in his Word.

Q. 51. What is forbidden in the second commandment?
A. The second commandment forbiddeth the worshipping of God by images, or any other way not appointed in his Word.

Much of Protestantism is not Reformed because they hold to the Roman Catholic church calendar.
The Normative Principle of Worship: not doing what God forbids, but free to do what is not commanded.

The 2nd commandment requires doing only what God commands for worship, and nothing more.

Worship in every part is congregational. None of it is to be a performance.

Special holidays is adding to what God requires—a transgression of the Law of God.
The consequences will be what Jesus said: neglecting what God does command.
