So Jesus died on Good Friday, rested in the tomb during the following day, Saturday, which was the Sabbath, and then rose early on Sunday morning, the day we call Easter Sunday.\n\nToday nearly the entire Christian world goes to church and worships on Sunday. Why is this? When was the day of worship changed from the Sabbath, which we just saw is Saturday, to Sunday?\n\nWe go to church on a specific day of the week because of the Sabbath commandment. The Ten Commandments can be found in Exodus 20:3-17. In the Sabbath commandment God has not only given us a command to keep the Sabbath day holy but has also told us how to keep it holy.\n\nThis commandment is found in Exodus 20:8-11: “Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor, and do all your work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord your God: in it you shall not do any work, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your manservant, nor your maidservant, nor your cattle, nor the stranger that is within your gates: For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.”\n\nThis commandment tells us that God’s Sabbath day is the seventh day of the week. God’s holy Sabbath day is Saturday. Sunday is the first day of the week.\n\nSince the Sabbath commandment has been changed, can we find a Bible text that would document this change? As we search the Scriptures we run across Psalms 111:7-9. “The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure. They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness. He sent redemption to his people: he has commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name.”\n\nThese verses seem to indicate that the Sabbath commandment should not have been changed. In fact, these verses tell us that all of the commandments will be in effect forever. As we continue our search we find Isaiah 66:22,23. These verses tell us that those who are saved from the earth will be keeping the Sabbath day, Saturday, holy throughout eternity, in the New Earth, which God has not yet created. “For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, says the Lord, so shall your seed and your name remain. And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, says the Lord.”\n\nOf course, we all know that Jesus was our example as First Peter 2:21 says, “For this you were called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow his steps:” Since Jesus always kept the Sabbath day holy should we also keep the Sabbath day holy?\n\nLet us now go to that verse that tells us about a change in the day to be kept holy. The verse is Daniel 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.” Here we see that someone would attempt to change God’s times and God’s laws. This verse in the Catholic Douay translation says “. . . he shall think himself able to change times and laws.”\n\nThe Catholics have changed God’s law extensively. They deleted the second commandment so as to allow their practice of bowing down and worshiping their images. They gutted the Sabbath commandment, which is their third commandment, removing all the instruction that God gave as to how to keep the Sabbath day holy. They also removed the instruction that God’s Sabbath is the seventh day of the week. In order still to have ten commandments after removing the second, they divided the tenth and made it their ninth and tenth.\n\nKeeping the Sabbath was so important to the followers of Jesus that they would not even anoint His body on the Sabbath day.

God established Sabbath before He created the first human being. It was a kind of gift for the first people, Adam and Eve (who definitely were not Jewish) as it was the first day of their lives and they first rested and enjoyed God’s love, vicinity and everything He created and then started working in the Garden. By changing Sabbath into Sunday (which is obviously the day of sun), the real way of observing the day of rest was concealed behind the curtain. People who attend the church on Sunday today are (mostly) not aware that the whole day is supposed to be the meeting with God, with His word and with His creation. They would sit in their living rooms, watching movies and football, thinking perhaps that they rest, but in fact it is not the true rest God wants us to have. Sabbath is created so that we can devote our whole being, heart and body and mind to God. Many people mention Jesus and His disciples plucking grain during Sabbath to support their view that Jesus didn’t observe Sabbath. What kind of prove is that? If I were walking through the field on Sabbath, admiring the nature around me, and if I spotted ripe and supposedly delicious forest strawberries :), and if I plucked several and ate them, would that mean that I was working and not resting on that day? Every time Jesus did something “scandalous” in the eyes of the Jews on Sabbath, He wasn’t denying it, He was just trying to tell them they should enjoyed it and not feel the victims of it. Jesus did observe Sabbath (it was His custom as you can read in the New Testimony), so did His disciples as you can read in the Acts of Apostles. As for those who say Jesus abolished the law, let me remind them of the verse in the book of Revelation, chapter 14, verse 12: “Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. You can also read Isaiah, chapter 66, verses 22 and 23. I know the answer is already too long, but allow me to say one more thing in relation to the statement that it is not important which day we observe as the day of rest as long we observe one. Take yourself as example and imagine your birthday falls on, say, 12 of March. Now your best friend or your parents always bring you presents on 23 of August. You are thankful, their intentions are wonderful, but you gently remind them that your birthday is on 12 of March. Next year the same thing happens. You are not sure what is going on and you repeat the story about the birthday and March. The next year and every year they celebrate your birthday on the wrong day and what can you do – you reconcile with that if it isn’t that important to you or you can be angry with them for not listening to you and for being ignorant, indifferent or whatever. However, God blessed and sanctified Sabbath, giving it as a gift to the mankind (which, in these turbulent times we need more than ever). If we continue observing some other day, aren’t we acting as the best friend and parents, showing carelessness to God??\nWe are saved by the faith and grace, but we should keep all Commandments because we love God and care for what He finds important.

Actually, the 7th day is Saturday.  However, Christians have gone to church on Sunday for many years because Jesus rose from the dead on a Sunday.\nIt's no bother to God that we go to church.  He created us to worship/glorify him, so he likes it when we go to church.  It's not work if he's being honored.  When we pray, it doesn't bother him, either.  We can pray any day of the week, and not just Sundays.

"But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God..."\n(Exodus 20:10, KJV)\n\n"It shall be unto you a sabbath of rest,... at even, from even [sunset] unto even [sunset], shall ye celebrate your sabbath."\n(Leviticus 23:32)\n\nGod has never changed it; it is the same from Genesis to Revelation. And it is the same today.\n\nThe cycle of the seventh day has not changed in about 6000 years. The major portion of the Sabbath falls on what we call Saturday.

1st:  It's God's Sabbath, not the Jew's:\n\nExo 20:10  But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God...\n\n2nd:  It was not established for the Jews but for man.\n\nMar 2:27  And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath: \nMar 2:28  Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath. \n\n3rd:  Yes, A is the correct answer:  Lev 23:32  It shall be unto you a sabbath of rest... from even unto even, shall ye celebrate your sabbath.

Today is Sunday, but I always take the day off from work. If my birthday falls on a weekend, I take the following Monday off. I buy myself a gift that I know no one will buy FOR me. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

It doesn't say that Sunday is the true day of worship.  Sunday became the day of worship, as opposed to Saturday, after the split between the Synagogues and the Church in the 300's AD.\n\nIt also was used in this fashion to honor the day upon which Christ was resurrected.

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).

Almost all professing Christians disregard the Sabbath and embrace Sunday. Why? The REASON to honor Sunday, is because Sunday is the "venerable day of the sun god," according to Emperor Constantine's decree, and the Pope took it upon himself to change God's Law & rubber-stamp the pagan order. The EXCUSE that many mainliners (Catholic, Protestant, non-denominational) will give is that the Resurrection occurred on Sunday. That is NOT a fact! ~Resurrection Sunday~ is a fallacy! It is a vague possibility, but not even probable.\n\nRef: Matthew 28:1-6, Mark 16:1-6, & Luke 24:1-7 - Neither Scripture nor secular history records a time of the Resurrection to define what day it was for modern, Western believers.\n\nIt says that when the women got to the tomb... they had MISSED the miracle - they were TOO LATE - He was ALREADY risen & out of the tomb!\n\nThe time elements we are given is that it was after the Sabbath - which ends after sunset on Saturday; and it was the first day of the week - which for Jews using God's calendar, started after sunset on Saturday. So there is a blank amount of time from Saturday dusk to Sunday sunrise. He could have risen *anytime before* midnight Saturday.\n\nSo, not knowing when the Resurrection was, it is erroneous (heterodoxy?) to assume that it was Sunday & to change God's Law of His Holy Day of rest & worship. ~Not to mention~ that 'Sunday' is a pagan-named day on the pagan-based calendar. God does not tolerate anything pagan in His worship. That is why I said it is "possible" the Resurrection was on Sunday, but not probable.\n\nGod gave the Sabbath as a gift to man. The NT references to believers gathering on the first day of the week to break bread is evidently Saturday evening (based on the heathen calendar), after the Sabbath ended.... They very well could have been celebrating the Resurrection, they may have unrecorded info that indeed the Resurrection was Saturday! In any event, I would not want to bet my soul that it was a ~Sunday Resurrection~; nor teach others that it WAS ON Sunday!

Sunday Sabbath is heresy\nEaster Sunday is heresy\nHeresies (all iniquity) is an abomination to God.\n\nThose who love God with all their heart, soul, mind, might, also love His Law, the Torah - His will circumcise their heart with His will written on it.\n\nOne-hour and then back-to-worldly- pleasures won't make the mark. Begrudgingly observing the Sabbath won't cut it. If you love the holiness of the Sabbath, you've got it! :)\n\n[See "How to test a prophet...?"]

No; Christians don't worship on Sunday because of Jesus' resurrection. They worship on Sunday because at the Council of Nicea it was established that Christianity & Judaism must separate. Did you know that Saint Nicholas (AKA Santa Claus) was on this Council? This is where the ancient, Jewish Synagogue most Christians know as the Early Church\nsplit from it's Jewish roots. The early church was entirely Jewish at it's conception.\nThis council made very clear, deliberate rules to separate the Jewish practices from the Christian ones. The Church did start out worshipping on Saturday.\nUnderstand that in Genesis 1; it says the evening & the morning were the first day. It doesn't say from sunrise to sunset, but from sunset to sunrise! It reverses the way Americans view a day. This mindset is what differentiates the Gregorian calendar (solar) from the Hebraic (lunar) calendar. If you look in the story of David, Jonathan & Saul; it says they were celebrating the New Moon. Jews follow a lunar calendar, & their Sabbath is Friday sundown to Saturday sundown. This is the Biblically commanded holiday known as Sabbath; a weekly day of rest offered to mankind. Even the 10 Comandments say to honor it, yet Christians simply follow tradition instead of doing what the Bible commands.\nSo, Jews also worship on the same day of SDA people. From what I understand, they also keep Biblically kosher; correct?

"Eat the food you gathered yesterday. Today is a Sabbath, the Lord's day of rest;"\n\n"This is what the Lord commanded, because tomorrow is the Sabbath, the Lord's holy day of rest."\n\n"but the seventh day is a day of rest to honor the Lord your God."\n\n"So the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath day"\n\n"So then, the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath day." \n\n"Then Jesus said to the Pharisees, 'The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath day.'"\n\nI think that pretty well settels it!

The first day of the week, Sunday, since ancient times has been designated the "day of rest". For Christians it is the holy day of the week, due to the fact that Christ was reported to have risen from the dead upon this day. \nYet the name of Sunday has nothing to do with Christianity, but everything to do with even more ancient religions. The ancient Greeks knew that the sun was the source of life on the planet and they gave it prime importance in their thinking. When the Romans later adopted the seven day week they emphasize their respect for the sun by naming the first day of the week for it..."dies solis"..."day of the sun". \n\nThe actual word "Sunday" is derived from the German word "Sonntag" (and they likely got it from the Scandanavians). These folk too placed a great deal of importance on the sun. Some tribes of these Germanic peoples invaded England in the 500's or so. They were known as the Angles and the Saxons. The old English work was "sunnandaeg" and it changed over time to become our current, "Sunday". \n\nThere are several holidays that are traditionally held on Sunday. Mother's Day (second Sunday in May) and Father's Day (third Sunday in June) began to be celebrated rather recently, 1914 and 1924 respectively. Easter is an ancient holiday that was officially designated by the Church in the year 325. Its position on the calendar has confused lay people for centuries. The date is calculated by taking the first Sunday after the first full moon on or after the 21st of March.

Sundays would cause a riot. IF the church goers had to choose between god and state. Saturday would seem smart to me. Less disruption to the work schedule.

In Christianity, the Sabbath is a weekly religious day of rest as ordained by the fourth of the Ten Commandments. The Hebrew word ("šabbāth", שַׁבָּת) means "the [day] of rest (or ceasing)," as it entails a ceasing or resting from labor. The institution of the Sabbath was in respect for the day during which God rested after having completed the Creation in six days, (Genesis 2:2-3).\n\nOriginally denoting Saturday, the seventh day of the week, or, more precisely, the time period from Friday sunset to Saturday sunset, the term Sabbath can now mean one of several things, depending on the context and the speaker:\n\nSaturday, as originally, in reference to Jewish or historical observance; \nSaturday, as above, as a day of observance for some Christian groups; \nSunday, as a day of observance for various other Christian groups. \nsaturday and sunday as a day of relaxing. \nThe word is also infrequently used to describe the annual Holy Days observed by several Christian groups, also called High Sabbaths or High Day Sabbaths (John 19:31): the First and Last Days of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, Pentecost, the Feast of Trumpets, the Day of Atonement, the First Day of the Feast of Tabernacles, and the Eighth Day of the Feast.

It doesn't matter anymore - as long as you set aside a day to spend relaxing and focusing on God and His blessings then it doesn't matter which day you choose.\n\nMark 2:27-28 (NLT)  \n    Then he said to them, "The Sabbath was made to benefit people, and not people to benefit the Sabbath. [28] And I, the Son of Man, am master even of the Sabbath!"\n \nLuke 14:5 (NLT)  \n    Then he turned to them and asked, "Which of you doesn't work on the Sabbath? If your son or your cow falls into a pit, don't you proceed at once to get him out?" \n\nJesus healed on the Sabbath and the Disciples picked grain on the Sabbath - I think that the Sabbath is whatever day you spend dedicated to God.
