what day of the week is considered the day of rest.?

LC is correct. The Bible does NOT say which day of the week is the day of rest, just that G-d rested on the seventh day.\n\nTraditionally, Jewish people have their 7th day on Saturday, Christians on Sunday. \n\nSince nowhere in the Bible does it clearly state what day of the week it was, as long as you celebrate and set aside one of the seven days of the week as a day of rest, I don't think G-d really has much of an opinion on which day you pick.\n\nI can't believe some people get so hot under the collar about stuff like this. Is their faith in G-d so shaky that it cannot stand the challenge that others are more comfortable relating with G-d in a different way?

I think it depends on your religious background.  Christians say Monday because Sunday is the Sabbath, and in the bible, it says that God created the world in 6 days and on the 7th He rested.  That makes Sunday our Sabbath, or 7th day, so Monday is the first day of the new week.  However, many faiths recognize Saturday as the Sabbath, which makes Sunday the start of the new week.  A non-religious view would be that Monday is the start of the working week for most of us, so that makes it Day 1.

sunday is day if the sun obviously, in Norse....Monday is day of the moon, also in norse....Teusday...I don't remember if the god was roman or germanic or norse but his name was Tiw.......wednesday originally came from the germanic or Norse god Odin but the germanic peoples changed it to Woden, so "Woden's day".......thursday is "Thor's day", Thor being the european god of thunder.......friday is the onlyone associated w/ a goddess and means "day of Frigga", a goddess of the harvest.......Saturday came from the Roman God, whom I'm not positive but may have been the god of agriculture, Saturnus, so "day of saturnus".....this was more than likely also how the roman festival of saturnalia began. Hope this helps!

Sunday.\n\n"In Western Christianity, Easter always falls on a Sunday from March 22 to April 25 inclusive. The following day, Easter Monday, is a legal holiday in many countries with predominantly Christian traditions. In Eastern Christianity, Easter always falls between April 4 and May 8 based on the Gregorian date."

Sabbath begins on Friday evening until Saturday evening. \n\nThe introduction of Sunday into the mindset of the masses was to appease the pagans of Sol Invictus who worshipped the Sun God on Sunday.\n\nSabbath is still Sabbath, regardless.

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.

It doesn't matter.  The 7th day should be a day of rest.  You won't get in trouble if your 7th day is different from mine.\n\nSalvation through grace gets you to heaven, not resting on a certain day.

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!

Yes. But the real question is what are you doing with your seven days a week, starting today. Remember the Lord (God) has given you this day. So live it.

Assuming that this isn't just a joke riddle and the question is "what day of the week fits the criteria", then Saturday.\n\nStart with what you know.  Monday.  Tuesday is day after Monday (two days after tomorrow).  Two days before Tuesday is Sunday.  Sunday is day after today.  Today is Saturday.\n\nYou kind of have to ignore the fact that today isn't really Saturday.

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

Well for the readers, The Christians gathered on the first day of the week, to celebrate the ressurection. This is why most Christians go to Church on Sunday. \n\nHowever, Since Christians rest in Jesus, everyday is a Sabbath day!!!!

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.
