Set dela za koja se ne može sa sigurnošću utvrditi da pripadaju licima koja se smatraju autoritetima u dijalogu glede pitanja Crkve i vere, obično se ne koriste za potrebe dokazivanja teza. Svakako ne kao dokazi prvog reda.Moguće je...ja ću takođe detaljnije istražiti. No, za sada ako je u pitanju pseudo-Atanasije opet možda prenosi Atanasijeve reči po ovom pitanju...jer se to i dešava nekada da se prenose autentične reči nekoga dok u drugome pak dodaje svoj tekst.
Naravno, ovo što je napisao taj koji se predstavlja imenom Atanasija Aleksandrijskog, opet, ne donosi nešto novo i posebno.
Čak i ako se osvrnemo na to što je izneto u citatu, pada mi na pamet nesaglasnost sa prethodnim Glasnikovim tvrdnjama da su upravo od Aleksandrije i RIma krenula otpadništva od subote. Zašto nesaglasnost? Zato što je Atanasije bio arhiepiskop upravo grada Aleksandrije.
Kad pomenu Apostolske Ustanove, dodao bih još dva mesta:Ja sam zato i istakao da ove reči trebamo posmatrati u duhu vremena a ono odgovara tome posebno u kontekstu Konstitucija koje čuvaju tradiciju oba dana...i sl.
Naravno, sve treba preispitati. Svakako.
1. Molitva blagodarenja
XXXVI. O Lord Almighty You have created the world by Christ, and hast appointed the Sabbath in memory thereof, because that on that day You have made us rest from our works, for the meditation upon Your laws. You have also appointed festivals for the rejoicing of our souls, that we might come into the remembrance of that wisdom which was created by You; how He submitted to be made of a woman on our account; He appeared in life, and demonstrated Himself in His baptism; how He that appeared is both God and man; He suffered for us by Your permission, and died, and rose again by Your power: on which account we solemnly assemble to celebrate the feast of the resurrection on the Lord's day, and rejoice on account of Him who has conquered death, and has brought life and immortality to light. For by Him You have brought home the Gentiles to Yourself for a peculiar people, the true Israel beloved of God, and seeing God. For You O Lord, brought our fathers out of the land of Egypt, and delivered them out of the iron furnace, from clay and brick-making, and redeemed them out of the hands of Pharaoh, and of those under him, and led them through the sea as through dry land, and bore their manners in the wilderness, and bestowed on them all sorts of good things. You gave them the law or decalogue, which was pronounced by Your voice and written with Your hand. You enjoined the observation of the Sabbath, not affording them an occasion of idleness, but an opportunity of piety, for their knowledge of Your power, and the prohibition of evils; having limited them as within an holy circuit for the sake of doctrine, for the rejoicing upon the seventh period. On this account was there appointed one week, and seven weeks, and the seventh month, and the seventh year, and the revolution of these, the jubilee, which is the fiftieth year for remission, that men might have no occasion to pretend ignorance. On this account He permitted men every Sabbath to rest, that so no one might be willing to send one word out of his mouth in anger on the day of the Sabbath. For the Sabbath is the ceasing of the creation, the completion of the world, the inquiry after laws, and the grateful praise to God for the blessings He has bestowed upon men. All which the Lord's day excels, and shows the Mediator Himself, the Provider, the Lawgiver, the Cause of the resurrection, the First-born of the whole creation, God the Word, and man, who was born of Mary alone, without a man, who lived holily, who was crucified under Pontius Pilate, and died, and rose again from the dead. So that the Lord's day commands us to offer unto You, O Lord, thanksgiving for all. For this is the grace afforded by You, which on account of its greatness has obscured all other blessings.
Kao i o tome kada se okupljaju radi blagodarenja, precizno se kaže šta je Dan Gospodnji
XXX . On the day of the resurrection of the Lord, that is, the Lord's day, assemble yourselves together, without fail, giving thanks to God, and praising Him for those mercies God has bestowed upon you through Christ, and has delivered you from ignorance, error, and bondаge, that your sacrifice may be unspotted, and acceptable to God, who has said concerning His universal Church: In every place shall incense and a pure sacrifice be offered unto me; for I am a great King, says the Lord Almighty, and my name is wonderful among the heathen.
