Many say the Sabbath is a Jewish day, given to Jews so it is their day.  Where were the Jews when God made the day holy?  There is only one command that starts with Remember.  Could that be because it is the one that would be forgotten or made of no account?  Bible says the Sabbath was made for man so does that mean when it says that the woman was made for man that it also means it is only for the Jews?

He didn't make it Holy for one group of people. Read Genesis chapter 1. He created the universe in six days (well, we don't know what a "day" was back then, so it might have been much longer...who knows?), and on the seventh, he rested and made it Holy--for everyone! Not just the Jewish people--also for the Gentiles. Now, the Jewish population are God's chosen people, but that does not mean that the Sabbath was created ONLY for them to recognize.

this paragraph is actually part of a prayer called "shema" in judaism. it is one of the holliest prayers. it is supposed to be the first thing you say in the morning and the last thing you say at night. \n\nthe words are things like the ten commandments and the torah. when it says tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads the torah is talking about something called tefillin, little boxes that have texts in them. they are tied with a leather strap, and are worn while praying. the texts are several passages from the torah. one of them being the text you have above. \n\nas for Write them on the doorframes of your houses it is much the same principal. these are called mezzuzot. inside they have a copy of the "shema"\n\nhope this helps,\nsry i couldn't remember more.

Judism was the man religion and sacrifices had to be made when people sinned for their entrance into heaven when they did.  Adam had to do these sacrifices as well.  Good questions!

The seal of God indeed the 4th commandment...\n\nDuet 5:12   Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee.  \n  5:13   Six days thou shalt labour, and do all thy work:  \n  5:14   But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thine ox, nor thine a$s, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates; that thy manservant and thy maidservant may rest as well as thou.\n\n The mark of the beast is a counterfeit to God's seal, hence the false Sabbath that the man of sin, the little horn of Daniel changed from Saturday to Sunday...\n\nDaniel 7:25   And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. \n\nSo the difference is what day we recognize as the True Sabbath. Saturday (God's day) or Sunday (Satan's Day of the sun).

"Why do ppl worship on sunday not saturday?"\n\nThere are 12 reasons why people worship on Sunday but NONE are Biblical. Below I will describe them It may be a little long.\n\n\n1) "Sunday is the New Sabbath." or "Because Jesus rose on Sunday"\nThere is NO scripture that calls Sunday the New Sabbath. The only Sabbath Day is Saturday Exodus 20:8\n\nJesus did NOT give us a new day of worship for the Resurection HE gave us baptism Romans 6:1-4, Colosians 2:12, Galatians 3:27,1 Peter 3:21. Please provide the verse that says to worship on Sunday due to the resurection.\n\n2)"The Sabbath was made for the Jews, it is only part of their law"\nThe Sabbath was made more than 2000 yrs before the first Jew existed, it was part of creation Genesis 2:1-3\n\n3)"We don't worship on the Sabbath we worship on the "Lord's Day"... Sunday"\nThe ONLY day called the Lord's day in the Bible is the Sabbath Day(Saturday) Exodus 20:8, Isa 58:13,14. Please produce the verse that calls Sunday the Lord's Day.\n\n4)"The early church changed it."\nThere is no evidence that the early church started worshiping on Sunday.\nPeople usually then quote Acts 20:7 because it says they "broke bread" on the first day... meaning communion. But if they read Acts chapter 2 it says they broke bread everyday, breaking bread means eating. I can produce 7 verses where Jesus kept the Sabbath, 6 obvious verses where the early church (Apostles, Jews AND the GENTILES) met on Sabbath to worship compared to only one ambiguous text for Sunday. The weight of the evidence is for Sabbath(Saturday) worship. \n\n5)"Jesus did away with they law on the cross."\nMany things are wrong wtih this \nA)There are 2 laws, Moral and Ceremonial. The Sabbath is part of the Moral law not Ceremonial.\nB)Jesus says in Matthew 5 that he did not come to destroy the law. \nC)They keep the others the ONLY commandment ignored and discarded starts with "REMEMBER", maybe God knew people would forget it. \nD)The ONLY laws done away with were the levitical(ceremonial laws). Col 2:14. The Sabbath day is not part of the ceremonial law... it is part of the moral law.\nE)"Sin is the transgression of the law" - 1 John 3:4\n"Where there is no law there is no sin" Romans 4:15\nIf there is no sin then Jesus didn't die for you, because you did not sin.\nF) since the law is gone can we now kill and steal and commit adultery, and worship other gods, can we disrespect our parents, or worship idols? No? then why are you trying to do away with the only one that starts off with "REMEMBER". \nG) Paul in Romans says we are to uphold the Law\n\n6)"It doesn't matter" or "We can't tell which day is the Sabbath\nA)The commandment doesn't say pick a 7th day it says THE 7th Day is the Sabbath. The Jews in Edodus 16 said it doesnt "matter which day" and God told them it does matter, and we know which day is the Sabbath the Jews have kept it for thousands of years.\nB) Luke 22-23 says Jesus rose the day after the Sabbath so if you can't tell which day is the Sabbath then you can't tell which day is Sunday\n\nThe first person to say "It doesn't matter how we worship God" is Cain. Cain said "it doesn't matter how we worship God as long as we give something." Was he right?\n\n7)"We are under the New covenant"\nHebrews 8:7-12 says\nFor if there had been nothing wrong with that first covenant, no place would have been sought for another. But God found fault with the PEOPLE and said "The time is coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah. It will not be like the covenant I made with their forefathers when I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt, because THEY DID NOT REMAIN FAITHFUL TO MY COVENANT, and I turned away from them, decla

Maimonides explained this best.\n\nat first people worshiped G-d and only G-d. Then people said that the sun and the moon were power full creations of G-d and should also be given respect. After a while people kept adding on to things to be worshiped until people forgot that G-d was the original source.

It was God's plan for the members of the family to be associated in work and study, in worship and recreation, the father as priest of his household, and both father and mother as teachers and companions of their children. But the results of sin, having changed the conditions of life, to a great degree prevent this association. Often the father hardly sees the faces of his children throughout the week. He is almost wholly deprived of opportunity for companionship or instruction. But God's love has set a limit to the demands of toil. Over the Sabbath He places His merciful hand. In His own day He preserves for the family opportunity for communion with Him, with nature, and with one another.\n\n"Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, an holy convocation;" Leviticus 23:3\n\nLook at the fourth commandment, a part of it is for us to work and the other part is for us keep the seventh day holy - Saturday.

Originally saturday was the sabbath and the holy day.  After the resurrection of Christ early Christians changed the holy day to sunday to show respect for Christs resurrection.  Jews not accepting Christ continued to worship on saturday and still do now.  In the 19th century some Christian groups, including the Seventh-day adventists led by Ellen White, went back to the old day of Saturday.  As far as which is correct and what the only one God thinks you have to ask which church you adhere too.  In the Old Testament Saturday was the day but the New testament does not addressthis issue after Christ and it is more an issue of tradition than literal biblical interpretation as far as I know.

Glad to know you're interested in Judaism!  The Jewish religion is actually quite similar to the Muslim religion in some basic tenets.\n\nJudaism has many different branches, and as study and debate are important parts of our tradition, Jews worship in many different ways.\n\nSome of the central tenets of Judaism are the Ten Commandments:\n1. I am God your Lord, who brought you out of Egypt, from the place of slavery. Do not have any other gods before Me. \n\n2. Do not represent [such] gods by any carved statue or picture of anything in the heaven above, on the earth below, or in the water below the land. Do not bow down to [such gods] or worship them. I am God your Lord, a God who demands exclusive worship. Where My enemies are concerned, I keep in mind the sin of the fathers for [their] descendants, to the third and fourth [generation]. But for those who love Me and keep My commandments, I show love for thousands [of generations]. \n\n3. Do not take the name of God your Lord in vain. God will not allow the one who takes His name in vain to go unpunished. \n\n4. Remember the Sabbath to keep it holy. You can work during the six weekdays and do all your tasks. But the seventh day is a Sabbath to God your Lord. Do not do anything that constitutes work. [This includes] you, your son, your daughter, your slave, your maid, your animal, and the foreigner in your gates. It was during the six weekdays that God made the heaven, the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. God therefore blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy. \n\n5. Honor your father and mother. You will then live long on the land that God your Lord is giving you. \n\n6. Do not commit murder. \n\n7. Do not commit adultery. \n\n8. Do not steal. \n\n9. Do not testify as a false witness against your neighbor. \n\n10. Do not be envious of your neighbor's house. Do not be envious of your neighbor's wife, his slave, his maid, his ox, his donkey, or anything else that is your neighbor's. \n\nHere's something else from the Wikipedia article below that you might find useful:\n\n"Over the centuries, a number of clear formulations of Jewish principles of faith have appeared, many with common elements, and though they differ with respect to certain details, they demonstrate a wide variety of tolerance for varying theological perspectives. Of these, the one most widely considered authoritative is Maimonides' thirteen principles of faith:\n\n*God is one - strict unitarian monotheism, in which the eternal creator of the universe is the source of morality. \n\n*God is all powerful (omnipotent), as well as all knowing (omniscient), and the different names of God are ways to express different aspects of God's presence in the world \n \n*God is non-physical, non-corporeal, and eternal. All statements in the Hebrew Bible and in rabbinic literature which use anthropomorphism are held to be linguistic conceits or metaphors, as it would otherwise be impossible to talk about God. \n\n*One may offer prayer to God alone — any belief in an intermediary between man and God, either necessary or optional, has traditionally been considered heretical. \n\n*The Hebrew Bible, and much of the beliefs described in the Mishnah and Talmud, are held to be the product of divine revelation. How revelation works, and what precisely one means when one says that a book is "divine", has always been a matter of some dispute. Different understandings of this subject exist among Jews.\n \n*The words of the prophets are true. \n\n*Moses was the chief of all prophets. \n\n*The Torah (five books of Moses) is the primary text of Judaism. \n\n*God will reward those who observe His commandments, and punish those who violate them. \n\n*God chose the Jewish people to be in a unique covenant with Him (see also: Jews as a chosen people). \n\n*There will be a moshiach (Jewish Messiah), or perhaps a messianic era. \n\n*The soul is pure at birth, and

I DON'T AND HAVEN'T SINCE DECEMBER OF 1995--WHEN I LEARNED THE TRUTH! \nMost people will try to tell you alot of stories such as: Jesus rose Sunday, or no longer under the law, or "law is one away with" or some excuse not to keep the Sabbath! If they keep Sunday; they will be worshipping the(sun god) beast of Revelation.\n\nThe Seal of God is in the 4th Commandment in Exodus 20:8-11; references are John 4:22-24 and Rev.14:7. \nSabbath in Encyclopaedia Americana, Vol.24, pp.68-69.\nThe Sabbath Day is Saturday.\nLook it up in dictionaries, encyclopedias and etc.\n\nBut anyway a SEAL contains 3 things.\n1. HIS NAME, \n2. HIS OFFICIAL POSITION, TITLE OR AUTHORITY\n3. THE EXTENT OF HIS DOMINION AND JURISDICTION\n\nNow the SEAL in the 4th Commandment is\n1. THE LORD\n2. MADE {office,creator}\n3. HEAVEN AND EARTH {dominion}\n\nIf we know the SEAL is the 7th day sabbath Saturday (EXOD.20:8-11); then rejecting it would be the MARK.\n\nREV.7:2-3 "AND I SAW ANOTHER ANGEL ASCENDING FROM THE EAST, HAVING THE SEAL OF THE LIVING GOD: AND HE CRIED WITH A LOUD VOICE TO THE FOUR ANGELS, TO WHOM IT WAS GIVEN TO HURT THE EARTH AND THE SEA,\nSAYING,HURT NOT THE EARTH, NEITHER THE SEA, NOR THE TREES, TILL WE HAVE SEALED THE SERVANTS OF OUR GOD IN THEIR FOREHEADS." {DEUT.6:8 = knowing, doing and keeping the Sabbath holy}\n\nSO IF YOU KEEP SATURDAY HOLY(JN.4:22-24) AND FOLLOW JESUS CHRIST FAITH; YOU WILL HAVE THE(REV.14:12) "SEAL OF GOD".\n\nEvidence: (Catholics know when the seventh day is)\n"1. Is Saturday the 7th day occording to the Bible & the 10 Commandments.\n"I answer yes.\n"2. Is Sunday the first day of the week & did the Church change the 7th day--Saturday---for Sunday, the 1st. day:\n"I answer yes.\n"3. Did Christ change the day\n"I anser no! Faithfully yours,\n"J. Card. Gibbons"\n--Gibbon's Autograph letter.\n"Ques.--Which is the Sabbath day?\n"Ans.--Saturday is the Sabbath day.\n"Ques.--Why do we observe Sunday instead of Saturday?\n"Ans.--We observe Sunday instead of Saturday because the Catholic Church transferred the solemnity from Saturday to Sunday."--Peter Geiermann, The Convert's Catechism of Catholic Doctrine (1946 ed.), p.50. Geiermann received the "apostolic blessing" of Pope Pius x on his labors, Jan.25,1910.\nBible Readings pg.194. \n\n(Dan.7:25 tells us "he will think to change laws and times")\n\n"Of course the Catholic Church claims that the change was her act...And the act is a Mark of her ecclesiastical authority in religious things." ---H.F. Thomas, Chancellor of Cardinal Gibbons. \n\nMost people have followed the church; look what Rev.13:1 says "...and all the world wondered after the beast." What does this mean; will if you seen every domination---they follow the Catholic's teachings which are false(Dan.8:12). This is the image of the Beast. This is what God tells his people that are in 1st Babylon and 2nd Babylon in Rev.18:4 "...Come out of her my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye not receive her plagues." \n\n"IF ANY MAN WORSHIP THE BEAST{Sunday} AND HIS IMAGE{teachings of Catholic Church} AND RECEIVE HIS MARK IN HIS FOREHEAD,{affections} OR IN HIS HAND" {REV:14:9, refraining from labor on THAT DAY}.{See ECCLES.9:10; ROM.7:25.}\n\nThe Mark of the beast is 666! To accept the beast's mark is to not accept God's Holy Sabbath Day Saturday as Working on the Sabbath.(reference Deut.7:8)

WWJD? He was 100% Torah-observant as He walked the earth; He kept the Sabbath holy, He celebrated the Feasts of the Lord, He ate only clean food, He wore tzitzit.... Yeshua the Messiah was born a Jew, lived as a Jew, taught as a Jew; His original followers were Jews. To claim that they were not Jews or Jewish is ludicrous! Even Paul was a Law-abiding Pharisee. The Bereans checked what Paul taught with the OT - the OT was the standard Paul had to meet.\n\nWhat is not Jewish in Christianity are the heresies which Emperor Constantine formalized for the Roman Empire and which his puppet Pope, Sylvester, claimed the authority & power to change God's Law and rubber-stamped the apostasy into canon law of the Roman Catholic Church. Unfortunately, when the Reformers tried to break away from the vain traditions of men, they were not successful; they failed by maintaining Sunday Sabbath, Easter Sunday, Christmas - things which the Bereans would not have accepted, things which Paul would not have accepted, things which the original disciples & apostles would not have accepted. Who thinks that God would ever accept those traditions?! (Hint: God has NEVER tolerated any paganism mixed in with His worship. Paganism is an abhorrent abomination to God.)\n\nYou cannot server two masters.... You can follow the path of Yeshua the Messiah, The Way, the Truth & the Life. Or, you can follow the path of a pagan emperor (until his death bed baptism - for whatever good that did, only God knows) and the traditions of Popes (& Reformers, et al).

The 15th of Nisan, like it has always been celebrated.\n\nIt runs for 8 days (7 in Israel).\n\nSince the Jewish calendar is a soli-lunar calendar (i.e. it goes by the moon but takes into account the seasons which are dictated by a solar year) thus it has the APPEARANCE of changing dates every year but that is only when you compare it to another calendar, such as the Gregorian (i.e. the calendar that everyone uses).

The Sabbath is the Sabbath.  God never changed it, Jesus never changed it, the desciples never changed it.  The Lords Day, is also the Sabbath, unless you are looking for a way to justify going to church on monday, or teusday, aor any other day that you want to identify as the Lords.\n\nThat being said, nobody is going to Heaven nor hell based on thinking that one day is better than another.

Nowhere in the Bible. All praise and worship is due to God and God alone, and the only way to him is through his Son, the Christ. In fact, when Mary and his siblings went to meet Christ, and his disciples told him that his mother and brothers were there, Christ said, "Who are my mother and My brothers, but those that do the will of God and keep his commandments." Note that the Decalogue he refers to, points to Saturday as the real Sabbath, not the Sunday that was substituted by the Catholic Church.\nHowever, while dying on the Cross at Calvary, Christ was still the Son of God, and Man, so his concern for Mary's well-being was spiritual and social. (One of the Commandments talks about honoring one's parents.)

A Direct quote from an Anglican minister:\n\n"And where are we told in the Scriptures that we are to keep the first day at all? We are commanded to keep the seventh; but we are nowhere commanded to keep the first day .... The reason why we keep the first day of the week holy instead of the seventh is for the same reason that we observe many other things, not because the Bible, but because the church has enjoined it."

humm good question. i believe that the old covenant was abolished with Christ sacrifice and Resurrection. I also believe that are parts of the old covenant that should be kept just to keep us focused. Just as the Ten Commandments should still be followed, we should also tithe. The Sabbath if we were to follow it like the Jews do (no disrespect at all) then we could do nothing including teach, preach, or bring the word to unbelievers, so the Sabbath in ways is a stumbling block to our beliefs and truths. Pastors must push tithing for the same reasons. I have also come to notice that when  you give God your money and control over your finances he blesses you 10 fold. so pray about it. don't just give it up because you don't have to sacrifice makes things all the sweeter.

I am a Christian and I keep the Sabbath.  I don't work or do business.  I go to church.  I wouldn't want to travel if that's what you mean by a plane ride.  Some times I will go driving just to relax.  I also don't watch much TV either.  I read my Bible only and fellowship. I would make a sandwich.  I let my electricity run.  I think that some Jews try to put to much in.  Like some don't rip toilet paper on the Sabbath, they do it during the day Friday.  They add things like the Pharisees.  You will find a lot of people do different things on the Sabbath.
