Sabbath - Sunday or Saturday?

You’re correct to a point, that is according to the Law (Old Testament).  From a legal (scriptural legal) point of view the Sabbath is what is now called Saturday.  However, under grace we are to regard every day alike holy unto God thus, every day is Sabbath.  Sabbath meaning set-aside or hollowed, holy unto God, even as God did in the beginning marking the 7th day.  But we are under a new covenant thus we are to keep every day holy unto the LORD not just the 7th.  Not, saying that the law is no more for the law is for the lawless. However, as new creations we are to grown unto the measure and stature of Christ. And one of the things He said unto us, "Come unto me all you that labor and are heave laden I'll give your rest, for my yoke is easy and burdens are light."  Thus we now are in the Rest of the LORD, or the Sabbath (set-aside) time which is call grace, no longer living trying to do what is right because it is written in the Law (Torah) be we are now living and doing what is right because it is our state of being as new creatures.  It is written, "Let no man judge you in the keeping of Sabbaths”.  Peace be unto you and yours. Now just in case you ask, yes I do keep the weekly Sabbath, not because I have to but because it is holy not only written in the word (holy Bible) but in my heart.

Which day is the Sabbath? Is it Saturday? On which day should a Christian worship? I believe it is Sunday. The Saturday Sabbath was given to Israel. Ezekiel 20:12,20 states: I gave them [Israel] my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am the LORD and also hallow my sabbaths; and they shall be a sign between me and you [Israel]. This was the first covenant to Israel.\n\nChristians have a new covenant. Jesus made a surety of a better testament (Hebrews 7:22). He [Christ] is the mediator of a better covenant (Hebrews 8:6). He [Christ] is the mediator of the new testament [or new agreement] (Hebrews 9:15).\n\nBecause of His death and this new agreement, we are no longer under ceremonial laws involving days. Moral laws are in effect in believer's hearts, but not the ceremonial laws. Proof? God says in Colossians 2:14,16 that Christ [blotted] out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross.... Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holy- day, or of the new moon, or [Get it!] of the sabbath days.\n\nWe are not under the law, but under grace (Romans 6:14). God's moral law is written within and upon the hearts of believers, but ceremonial laws involving days have been nailed to the cross. We honor the Saviour of the new covenant on a new day -- the day of His resurrection, which is Sunday, the first day of the week. This we do out of love, not servitude, not through law, but through grace.

How about Saturday and Sunday?

Christians changed the word of God thinking they have more authority than their God, Jesus Christ. And they say: We changed because Christ resurrected on the first day. Did Jesus tell you to do so??\nAnyway, the Resurrection is not the reason why one should observe the day of the rest. God gave the reason once for all times:\n\nRemember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.\nSix days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work \nBut 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\ndaughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:\nFOR IN SIX DAYS THE LORD MADE HEAVEN AND EARTH, THE SEA, AND ALL THAT IN THEM IS, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.\n\nSabbath is the reminder of the God the creator and since God remains the creator for all times, so does the Sabbath remains the day of rest.\nThe commandment about the day of rest was inscribed in the stone together with all others by God himself. If you want to abolish Sabbath, please take the hammer in your hand and break that stone. Who wants to be the first?

Well, both Saturday and Sunday are holy days in some religions - time for rest. Hence, the weekend has formed around this.

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.

Judaism and Seventh-day Adventists. And yes, Seventh-day Adventists restrain from work on Sabbath, using that day for studying the word of God, getting closer to Him, their families and friends. I think Baptists of the Seventh Day also observe the Sabbath – I apologize if this is not the right name of your denomination. Also, I hope there are many, many people who do not fall into denominations and do not go to church, but have realized the truth about this matter by reading their bibles. Blessed they all be and all those who continue to search. \nThere is not a single verse in the bible which can confirm that Sunday substituted Sabbath. Romans, who were pagans and worshiped many gods, considered 6th day as the most important day, as it was the day of Sun (Lucifer uses this name to hide himself – observe: Lux in the Latin means the light – in this case false). When Constantine accepted Christianity, he compromised a lot, not having accepted all the truth from Bible and not being true Christian at all. At first, people observed both Sunday and Sabbath (that’s the origin of the weekend), without understanding the meaning of Sabbath and breaking God’s law, because, you will remember, God said that we shall WORK on six days and observe the seventh. Later, Sunday seemed to be more important, cause, to Romans god of Sun was more important that than the true God, Jesus Christ. When the Christianity started to spread to other countries, Sunday had been already established as the day of worshipping and the truth about Sabbath was less and less visible. But it never died. It was burning in the hearts of men who wanted to be loyal to God 100%. \nThanks for asking this question and read bible for more info.\nP.S. \nAs I was typing this answer, my pc restarted all of sudden without any (visible) cause. I am sorry, but the truth will be revealed.\nanother P.S. \nI will copy/paste something from Plato's answer:\n"It is also interesting to note that even today, in many historically predominant Catholic countries throughout Europe, all calendars begin with Monday and end with Sunday in order to make Sunday both the Christian day of worship and the seventh Day of the week".

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...?"]

That is silly. I just got back from deer hunting on Sunday. As for the church thing that is wrong to actually Saturday is the sabbath according to the bible. Being the last day of the week and all. But, I am from Louisiana. I can not answer your question per se. But, I am sure with enough support you could get the law changed to something more managable. Like a morning hunt. Not all people believe sunday is a day of rest..It is a day I get away from family and friends. \n\nSorry to hear about this crazy law. About as bad as our Liqueor Law...cant by it on sunday but church nuts say it is ok to buy beer and wine...something to do with all the ancient church goers had and could drink go figure

There are many, most actualy, of the Christian Faith who believe that Sunday is The Sabbath Day. so they try not to do any unnessisary work on that day. They believe that is God's Word\n\nI am of the Christian Faith and I do not see any Biblical word to support Sunday as The Day.  In truth Saturday is God's Sabbath. from sundown on Friday to sundown on Saturday.... No, I am not 7th Day adventist... they are not the only ones who believe in The Sabbath Day

From my understanding, the Sabbath is the day that God rested after he had created all of the wonderful works of the world. I guess you could consider it being that he took time to enjoy His creation, as well as we should. But I think it also is the day that he rested after creating the whole world.

:}\nOne day of fasting from meat,   Friday to recall good Friday on a weekly basis in the same way that a change of the worship day from the sabbath to Sunday recalls the Resurrection on a weekly basis.

If you are asking about DOING work on thee Sabbath, then yes, there are certain religions that believe that only  a)  those laboring for life or death causes, i.e. hospitals, and b)  Pastors can work on Sunday.  \n\nThe reason behind this being  a) even GOD rested on the 7th day, and b) employers who have people working on Sundays are depriving their employees of a day to worship.\n\nI personally do not follow that ethic, maybe because I work in the mental health field, or maybe because I like to shop and eat out on Sundays.   However, my Pastor and his family, whom I admire and respect a great deal, will not eat out, shop, or otherwise engage in business.  They prepare their meals on Saturday night, and eat them cold on Sundays, so that they are not working (except for pastoring in their church.)

Yes\n\nThere seems to be alot of confusion about this among Christians. I hope that I can help clear some of it up.\n\nMany people say "it is the Jewish Sabbath" or "the Sabbath of the Jews" or any other variation of this. Show me where it says that in the Bible. The Bible clearly says the the 7th day (Saturday) is the "Sabbath of the Lord" Exodus 20:10\n\n"Jesus said the Sabbath was made for MAN." he did not say "The Sabbath was made for the JEWS."\n\nIt was given to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden if they are Jews we are all Jews. Genesis 2:1-3\n\n\nThere is no seperate day of worship for Christians and Jews. NO verse in the Bible supports the idea that the Old Covenant day of worship was Sabbath, but the New Covenant day is Sunday. There is only one day of worship sanctioned by God and that is the Sabbath(Satuday). If I am wrong provide the verse where God says to forget the one commandment that starts with the word "REMEMBER".\n\nIf God did away with the laws are we now free to murder people and commit adultery and steal and worship other gods? Then why are we now "free" to ignore the 4th commandment\n\nAnd it does matter which day God did not say pick a day He said "THE" 7th day is "THE" Sabbath. The jews did not have names for their days they had numbers  1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, Sabbath. The jews knew which day he meant because it was the only day with a name. Celebrating Sabbath on another day is like celebrating independence day on November 15.\n\nThe First person to say it does not matter how we worship God as long as we worshipwas Cain. Cain said "God is not specific The sacrifice is just a concept you can offer fruit if you want."\n\nWe all now know Cain was wrong. When God says He wants a living sacrifice, He means a living sacrifice, and When God says "The Seventh day is the Sabbath" He means the 7th day. It is not up for debate.\n\nThere is no verse in the Bible that says that the new day of worship was changed to Sunday.\n\n\nObedience is not legalism\n\nDoes God expect people to do what He says?\n\nWhy is sin in the world? \nBecause 2 people did not do what God said. They did not obey.\n\n"Why do you call me Lord, Lord and DO NOT the things that I say" Luke 6:46\n"He that saith, 'I know him' and keepeth NOT His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him." I John 2:4\n\n\n\nWe need to start following what God says in the Bible. and it is clear from the word that the 7th(Saturday) is the Sabbath OF THE LORD and God expects us to keep it Holy.

Jesus is lord. the sabbath was so men would not work seven days a week, and get sick and die, from not getting enough rest.
