Sabbath is the 'day of rest' and is put aside for God.\nWhich day for you depends on your religion, I think for Jews it lasts from sunset friday to sunset Saturday. (please someone correct me if I'm wrong)\nFor Christians, it is Sunday.

In Europe during the Dark Ages, when christianity kept everyone ignorant, Sunday was the "sabbath day" (or "black sabbath day" in the Dark Ages...) where people would "rest".  \n\nIn reality, Sundays were never a day off during the feudal age because local warlords would force the peasants to practice for war.  It wasn't until the Renaissance when professional (paid) armies became the order of the day that such practices came to an end and Sunday truly was a "day of rest".\n\nSix day workweeks were common until the late 19th century when labour unions in Canada fought for the right to a five day workweek.  (This is also at the end of the Industrial Revolution when employers no longer treated workers as meat for their machines and "satanic mills".)  The idea of a "weekend" spread across Canada, the US and Europe, becoming the standard.  Since then we have had two day weekends and "Labour Day" once per year.\n\nWorldwide, six day workweeks are still commonplace and expected, especially in Asia.  It's only in the last 20 years that the Japanese, Koreans and Chinese are waking up to the value of R&R.

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?

It depends which day; you call the seventh day Sabbath. Catholics admit the Sabbath is Saturday (evidence enclosed).\n\nThe Sabbath is from Friday Evening to Saturday Evening; Jews still keep it as some christians. No work is to be done this day.\nJesus himself told us to keep this day (John 4:22-24).\n"Ye worship ye know not what; we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews." John 4:22\nNotice Jesus was saying that we should worship Saturday like the Jews.\n\nLook Sabbath up in Encyclopaedia Americana, Vol.24, pp.68-69.\nThe Calendar also tells us the 7th day is Saturday.\n\nIf you look up Genesis 1:8; it tells us that the evening and morning were the second day. Lev.23:32 says from evening to evening to celebrate the Sabbath.\n\nGENESIS 2:2-3 "AND ON THE SEVENTH DAY GOD ENDED HIS WORK WHICH HE HAD MADE; AND HE RESTED ON THE SEVENTH DAY FROM ALL HIS WORK WHICH HE HAD MADE. AND GOD BLESSED THE THE SEVENTH DAY, AND SANCTIFIED IT: BECAUSE THAT IN IT HE HAD RESTED FROM ALL HIS WORK WHICH GOD CREATED AND MADE." {sanctify = to set apart; make holy}\n\nEXODUS 20:8-11 "REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY, TO KEEP IT HOLY. SIX DAYS SHALT THOU LABOUR, AND DO ALL THY WORK: 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: 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." {the 4th Commandment}\n\nREV.14:7 "SAYING WITH A LOUD VOICE, FEAR GOD, AND GIVE GLORY TO HIM; FOR THE HOUR OF HIS JUDGEMENT IS COME; AND WORSHIP HIM THAT MADE HEAVEN, AND EARTH, AND THE SEA, AND THE FOUNTAINS OF WATER."{fear God means reverence him; also this text points back to the 4th Commandment}\n\nLEV.23:3 "SIX DAYS SHALL WORK BE DONE: BUT THE SEVENTH DAY IS THE SABBATH OF REST, AN HOLY CONVOCATION; YE SHALL DO NO WORK THERIN: IT IS THE SABBATH OF THE LORD IN ALL YOUR DWELLINGS."\n\nDEUT.5:12-14 "KEEP THE SABBATH DAY TO SANCTIFY IT, AS THE LORD THY GOD HATH COMMANDED THEE. SIX DAYS SHALT THOU LABOUR, AND DO ALL THY WORK: 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 THINE OX, NOR THINE ***, NOR ANY OF THINE CATTLE, NOR THY STRANGER THAT IS WITHIN THY GATES: THAT THY MANSERVANT AND THY MAIDSERVANT MAY REST AS WELL AS THOU."\n\n{Jesus's Example= "For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:..-1PETER 2:21}\nLUKE 4:16 "AND HE CAME TO NAZARETH, WHERE HE HAD BEEN BROUGHT UP: AND, AS HIS CUSTOM WAS, HE WENT INTO THE SYNAGOGUE ON THE SABBATH DAY, AND STOOD UP TO READ."\n\nMARK 2:23-28 "AND IT CAME TO PASS, THAT HE WENT THROUGH THE CORN FIELDS ON THE SABBATH DAY; AND HIS DISCIPLES BEGAN, AS THEY WENT, TO PLUCK THE EARS OF CORN. AND THE PHARISEES SAID UNTO HIM, BEHOLD, WHY DO THEY ON THE SABBATH DAY THAT WHICH IS NOT LAWFUL? AND HE SAID UNTO THEM, HAVE YE NEVER READ WHAT DAVID DID, WHEN HE HAD NEED, AND WAS AN HUNGRED, HE, AND THEY THAT WERE WITH HIM? HOW HE WENT INTO THE HOUSE OF GOD IN THE DAYS OF ABIATHAR THE HIGH PRIEST, AND DID EAT THE SHEW BREAD, WHICH IS NOT LAWFUL TO EAT BUT FOR THE PRIESTS, AND GAVE ALSO TO THEM WHICH WERE WITH HIM? AND HE SAID UNTO THEM, THE SABBATH WAS MADE FOR MAN, AND NOT MAN FOR THE SABBATH: THEREFORE THE SON OF MAN IS LORD ALSO OF THE SABBATH." {The Pharisees thought his disciples were breaking the Sabbath by plucking and eating corn; but Jesus told them it wasn't work. Jesus healed on the sabbath as helped people. On the Sabbath day you can even warm meals as boil water for oatmeal on the Sabbath. The work that you cannot do is cooking meals because it takes an h

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).

Dear child, I feel I must answer you...you keep on asking ?about the Sabbath. In the new testament Jesus said old things are put away...the teachings of the sabbath is one of them, this was before the death of Christ.\nAlong with keeping the sabbath there were many other  requirements, like sacrificing, which we no longer have to do because Jesus did it for us. He was the ultimate sacrifice. I hope this helps you and GOD BLESS

Muslims have sabbath day, as you mentioned, on Friday. On that day all gather at mosque attend a sermon and prayers after that. Eventhough this prayer is compulsary unless there is some valid reasons, Islam do not forbid working rest of the day. These are the relevant verses from Quran\n\n "O you who believe! when the call is made for prayer on Friday, then hasten to the remembrance of Allah and leave off trading; that is better for you, if you know. " Quran  62:  9\n\n"But when the prayer is ended, then disperse abroad in the land and seek of Allah's grace, and remember Allah much, that you may be successful. " Quran 62: 10.

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...?"]

Churches have always argued concerning the true Sabbath, and each has a different reason for worshipping Saturday or Sunday. Catholics will readily admit that they have the authority to change the Sabbath since the pope is the "vicar of Christ" or in the place of Christ. Seventh Day Adventist have a pretty good argument for still keeping the Saturday Sabbath...they claim no biblical passage authorizes a change in the 10 commandments, and unlike other laws that were written on paper to show that they won't last forever, the 10 commandments (including the Sabbath) were the only laws written on stones to signify it's everlasting place. Now you have Harold Camping from Family Radio, he has a pretty good argument for Sunday worship, the best I've seen so far, and YES, he uses the bible to support his view very well. I will post two links. one of Harold camping just scroll down on the left and click on SUNDAY THE SABBATH. The other link is of Samuele Bacchiocchi's book FROM SUNDAY TO SABBATH. This way you get to see both sides of the coin.

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.

It is a tradition of pagan men (specifically Emperor Constantine & those who follow him). It directly contradicts God's will as expressed in the 10 Commandments. God views iniquity like this as an abhorrent abomination.\n\nWe should not test God's Grace. (Do not sin in order to make Grace abound.)\n\nAnyway, the Sabbath Rest was made FOR man - don't abuse it (don't desecrate it); enjoy the Gift with praise & worship as intended.

basically\n\nthe concept comes from the Idea that one is not allowed to carry a load from a public to a private area on the sabbath. \n\nthere are 39 prohibited activity's on the Sabbath that co-respond with the 39 main activities needed to put up the Tabernacle in the dessert.\n\nThese activities were prohibited because the Nation of Israel is supposed to rest from all acts of creation on the seventh day to remember that G-d also rested on the seventh "day" after he created the world\n\nthe sabbath is meant to be a day set aside from our working lives and is to be dedicated to the service and study of G-d and his nature\n\nhttp://www.everythingjewish.com/Shabbat/Shabbat_Origins.htm

Sabbath, or Shabot, was established by God for man as a time of restoration. The Sabbath Day, to rest from the 'sweat of his brow to earn his bread'. The Sabbath Year to give rest to the land that it would continue to yield fruit. Sabbath is given to the Jews, and is commanded ONLY to them.\n\nThe New Testament concept of Sabbath is much debated, but here goes with my best understanding. When man was under the condemnation of the Law, God gave us rest (Sabbath) from that condemnation through animal sacrafice. When Jesus went to the cross, He began THE SABBATH, our ETERNAL rest from that condemnation, and so He is called 'The Lord of the Sabbath'.\n\nJews ARE COMMANDED to observe the specific Sabbath Day from sunset on Saturday to sunset on Sunday. Various interpretations of traditions allow that Jewish Christians, who by God's ordinance MUST obey the Sabbath, may celebrate on one day or the other.\n\nGentile Christians, on the other hand, are not under the Law. It is my personal conviction that every day is Sabbath, in as much as every day I am released from condemnation by the Blood of Jesus. However, in observing the SPIRIT of the Law, which Jesus spent a great deal of time teaching us about, I set one day a week (sometimes it moves around) aside to rest from 'earning a living'.\n\nBest scriptural summary I can find is this; "One person esteems one day above another; another esteems every day alike. Let each be fully convinced in his own mind. He who observes the day, observes it to the Lord; and he who does not observe the day, does not observe it to the Lord. He who eats, eats to the Lord, for he gives God thanks; and he who does not eat, to the Lord he does not eat, and gives God thanks.""For if we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, then we die to the Lord. Therefore, if we live or die, we are the Lord's." Romans 14:5-6,8\n\nThis passage is actually referring to judging others for worshiping God differently than you do, but Pauls examples are pertinent, and loose no meaning separated from the context.

Not obeying God's Word.\n\nExo 20:8  Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. \nExo 20:9  Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: \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: \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. \nExo 20:12  Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. \nExo 20:13  Thou shalt not kill. \nExo 20:14  Thou shalt not commit adultery. \nExo 20:15  Thou shalt not steal. \nExo 20:16  Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour. \nExo 20:17  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.
