There is no reference stating what day we should worship. Traditionally, it has been Sunday, probably due to it being the day of Resurrection. However, the only command to worship on the Sabbath comes from the Mosaic Covenant. Acts 15:1-35 states that Gentile believers need not follow this Covenant, but need only abstain from some practices that would be considered offensive to the Jews. Romans 7:1-6 notes that we have died to the Law, that we might be joined to another, specifically Christ. Galatians 3:15-29 notes Law to be our tutor to lead to Christ by faith, and that since faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.

You will get mixed answers from other Christians. Why they do not agree on this is a much longer subject than I would prefer to go into. I also believe that you are bound for Hell if you die without repenting.

You may get a mixed spectrum of answers, all from people who do not have the power to condemn you to Hell. If you want an answer from Jesus Himself, have your girlfriend show you passages in the Bible like Matthew 25:31-46.

There is a need to make some rather tough statements. Regardless of your reaction to these statements, please read the book previously recommended.

1) Christ is the only way. There are other religions, and some may recognize the same God we do, while others recognize poor imitations of God. However, none recognize Christ, who promises to be the only way to salvation (See John 10) 2) Despite what some denominations may say regarding the subject, people who practice homosexuality and do not repent have an eternal destination of Hell reserved for them. Progressing through the Bible, Leviticus 20:13 lists the homosexual act as deserving of death. Romans 1:18-27 shows those who practice such things have been “given over in the sinful desires of their heart to sexual impurity…” Most notably, 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 provides a list of lifestyles whose pursuing guarantees non-acceptance into heaven. This statement needs to be taken seriously. Homosexuality is a sin.

I used to deal with the question of why do we not follow the Law. I looked at Galatians, a letter written to a church struggling with Jews trying to convince the church to follow Jewish laws and customs. In Galatians 3:15-25 the law is described as a tutor to lead to Christ, and we are no longer under a tutor. The other reference comes from Acts 15:24-29. This is a letter written to the Gentile churches advising them of what Jewish traditions they needed to follow in order to not offend them. It is true that the Law demands death for many of the immoral acts that occur nowadays. In my reading and experience, Jesus is asking us to hate the sin but love the sinner. This means to address the issue of homosexuality being a sin, but still reach out to them, speaking of Jesus as a Savior.
