It is a day to refrain from physical labor/work.\nIt is a day of communing with the Creator.\nIt is a day spent with family; encouraging & blessing them in front of the other family members. A day to 'recharge' onself & ones' family. To connect with loved ones.

Seventh Day Adventists believe that we should observe the same day of rest and worship as the Israelites, whose days began from sundown til sundown, and Sabbath was from sundown Friday until sundown Saturday. Most folks today recognize Sunday as the last day of the week (or as the first ) and the one that is reserved for most religious services. For 7DA, it's about whether you are a Sunday keeper or a Sabbath keeper.

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

In the Old Testament God gave the Hebrews the Sabbath as a day of rest.  Jesus honored the Sabbath, but disagreed with the definition of work.  Early Christians chose Sunday as their day for worship and rest.  The day itself is not holy, the worship is.

how about the 10 commandments?\n\nExo 20:2  [#1]  I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. \n\nExo 20:3  Thou shalt have no other gods before me. \n\nExo 20:4  [#2]  Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. \n\nExo 20:5  Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; \n\nExo 20:6  And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. \n\nExo 20:7  [#3]  Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. \n\nExo 20:8  [#4]  Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. \n\nExo 20:9  Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: \n\nExo 20:10  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, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: \n\nExo 20:11  For 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\n[Note:  The "sabbath day" being referred to here is the Hebrew/Israel/Jewish sabbath day [the seventh (7th) day of the week, Saturday], that begins Friday at sundown, and continues until Saturday at sundown.] \n\nExo 20:12  [#5]  Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. \n\nExo 20:13  [#6]  Thou shalt not kill. \n\nExo 20:14  [#7]  Thou shalt not commit adultery. \n\nExo 20:15  [#8]  Thou shalt not steal. \n\nExo 20:16  [#9]  Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour. \n\nExo 20:17  [#10]  Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's. \n\nExo 20:18  And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they removed, and stood afar off. \n\nExo 20:19  And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die. \n\nExo 20:20  And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not. \n\nExo 20:21  And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was. \n\n~ Idols and Altars \n\nExo 20:22  And the LORD said unto Moses, Thus thou shalt say unto the children of Israel, Ye have seen that I have talked with you from heaven. \n\nExo 20:23  Ye shall not make with me gods of silver, neither shall ye make unto you gods of gold. \n\nExo 20:24  An altar of earth thou shalt make unto me, and shalt sacrifice thereon thy burnt offerings, and thy peace offerings, thy sheep, and thine oxen: in all places where I record my name I will come unto thee, and I will bless thee. \n\nExo 20:25  And if thou wilt make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stone: for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it. \n\nExo 20:26  Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto mine altar, that thy nakedness be not discovered thereon.

Exactly. It is the sabbath day for the earth. We are currently at the END of the 6th day of the earth (6,000 years).

yes i am a Seventh Day Adventist.  All of my family is as well.  I grew up in this enviroment.  Not all of us are vegetarians or Vegans we do eat meat.  We don't eat unclean meat(pork, lobster, shrimp, mostly animals that feed on animals), we do keep the Sabbath(Friday sunset to Saturday sunset)  We don't go shopping or pay for any service we spend that time to get closer to God and our church family and just be out in nature.  We are most very healthy tests show we live 8-10 years longer than the average man.  We believe in the trinity, and that the dead sleep till resurection day.  Some of us are very strict and some aren't.  For the most part the real adventists don't wear jewlery or flashy makeup.  Some do though but those ppl aren't as strict.  I've grown up in this enviroment and I'm very happy with my life.  I don't want my life any other way. It is hard for people to accept this religion b/c it tells them they have done so many things wrong and they don't want to change. We also believe and follow all of the ten commandments and the bible.  We do belive the time is near, and we are waiting for that time, but till then we don't try to guess when its going to happen, we know it will when God wants it to.  Till then he is trying to get as many lives as he possibly can.  We don't not follow one person God said don't put any gods or idols before me(if you want to get on that subject why do the Catholics follow the Pope?) We belive everyone can be saved.  We don't judge for the most part thats God's job not ours.I hope I explained it well enough if you have any questions just ask. It's easier to understand if you grew up with it.  Some people call us a cult but I don't really know why.  Does anyone here know why people call us a cult?

You can, and should, praise God everywhere you are or ever go.  But just like you visit your friends all the time, it is nice to go to His house every now and again.\n\nGod says to keep the Sabbath holy.  Hard to do at home.  Easier to do at Church.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! SOMEBODY IS BRAVE ENOUGH TO SPEAK OUT IN TRUTH! You are 100% CORRECT! ALL of the so-called "holidays"(holydays) were NEVER commanded in the Bible-EVER!!! Jeremiah Chapter 10 directly mentions a "christmas tree" as an IDOL! Astarte (Easter) is mentioned many times in the Old Testament as an ABOMINATION TO GOD!!! Tammuz is also in the Old Testament! And not in a good way! People simply follow what the "crowd" says to follow! DOES THAT MAKE IT RIGHT??? Borrowing Pagan traditions and somehow transforming them into "holy days" is unacceptable worship to GOD! DON'T BELIEVE A NOBODY LIKE ME--READ YOUR BIBLE!!! Please see for yourself! Then you will know what God REALLY feels about man-made traditions.....

Lets face facts the Jews were here before the Christians and if God told them that Saturday was the day of rest then so be it. But the loony telling us that it should be Friday and the local Father insisting it is Sunday may not be wrong too. \nWhy take chances. \nI've told my wife I will not work of Friday to Sunday to avoid messing with God (and maybe Wednesdays too - cause I feel God would send me a message not to put all nonworking days in one cluster!)

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)

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.

Well the need to worship on the sabbath was taken away by Jesus'       and resurrection. You can worship on any day of the week the reason that so many Christians chose Sunday is because that's the day that Christ rose from the grave. It's like a memorial to Him and it's a day that we are to remember all He did for us, so it seemed like a good day to worship, don't you agree? God Bless, and thanks for you good answers and questions

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. Joseph, you will rememb

well I learn something every day, when I got married I didn't know any jews so didn't invite any to the festivities, but I suppose as Saturday is the sabbath, it could come into conflict with turning up at a church when they should be at the synagoge.  Now I do know a few jews and will ask them why not.  They are an honest crowd and will give me a truthful answer.................

It says to rest not work, however Jesus did talk to some people about this subject and he asked if they would let the ox die in the ditch because it was the sabbath or if they would pull it out!  I can't remember where in the bible it is but his point was if it is important to take care of something on the sabbath then it's okay to work!

Lord's day meaning the Sabbath (Saturday), the true day of the Lord?\n\n"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\nAnyway, you need a DVD ripper to convert the content to a .avi file.
