Where was the Jew in the creation week when God sanctified the Sabbath and made it holy?
458595
He didn't make it Holy for one group of people. Read Genesis chapter 1. He created the universe in six days (well, we don't know what a "day" was back then, so it might have been much longer...who knows?), and on the seventh, he rested and made it Holy--for everyone! Not just the Jewish people--also for the Gentiles. Now, the Jewish population are God's chosen people, but that does not mean that the Sabbath was created ONLY for them to recognize.

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.

He didn't denounce it, but He did say that His followers were not of an earthly kingdom, but of a spiritual kingdom.\n\nWe don't follow the Jewish civil/national laws as expressed in Leviticus.  Those laws were given to keep them pure and separated - a distinct nation set apart and holy - for the purpose of bringing Christ into the world.\n\nWe keep all but one of the ten commandments.  They are all reiterated and expounded upon in the New Testament, except for keeping the Sabbath.  We keep the first day of the week - the day He rose.

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?

Its not there, however, you are using the wrong calendar.  We should really worship Friday Night to Saturday, with the Jews, as Jesus did.  Using the Calendar and traditions he used.

Excelent question!\n\nI'll quote from this webpage:http://www.sabbathtruth.com/sabbath_questions.asp:\n\nWe Can't Locate the True Seventh Day \nThis is a fallacy that has comforted many in their disobedience of the fourth commandment. It just is not true. Here are four positive proofs which identify the true Sabbath today: \n\n1. According to the Scriptures, Christ died on Friday and rose on Sunday, the first day of the week. Practically all churches acknowledge this fact by observing Easter Sunday and Good Friday. Here is the Bible evidence: "This man went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulchre that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid. And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on." Luke 23:52-54. \n\nHere is proof that Jesus died the day before the Sabbath. It was called "the preparation day" because it was the time to get ready for the Sabbath. Let us read the next verses: "And the women also, which came with him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid. And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment." Verses 55, 56. \n\nPlease notice that the women rested over the Sabbath "according to the commandment." The commandment says, "The seventh day is the Sabbath," so we know they were observing Saturday. But the very next verse says, "Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared. ... And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre." Luke 24:1, 2. \n\nHow clearly these three consecutive days are described for us. He died Friday, the preparation day, commonly called Good Friday. He rested in the tomb on the seventh day, Sabbath, "according to the commandment." That was Saturday. Then on Sunday, the first day of the week, Easter Sunday to many, Jesus arose from the grave. \n\nAnyone who can locate Good Friday or Easter Sunday will have absolutely no difficulty finding the true Sabbath.\n\n2. The calendar has not been changed so as to confuse the days of the week. We can be positive that our seventh day is the same day Jesus observed when He was here. Pope Gregory XIII did make a calendar change in 1582, but it did not interfere with the weekly cycle. Our present Gregorian calendar was named after him when he made that small change in 1582. \nWhat did Pope Gregory do to the calendar? Before 1582 the Julian calendar had been in effect, instituted by Julius Ceasar about 46 B.C. and named after him. But the Julian calendar had calculated the length of the year as 365 1/4 days, and the year is actually eleven minutes less than 365 1/4 days. Those eleven minutes accumulated, and by 1582 the numbering of the calendar was ten days out of harmony with the solar system. Gregory simply dropped those ten days out of the numbering of the calendar. It was Thursday, October 4, 1582, and the next day, Friday, should have been October 5. But Gregory made it October 15 instead, dropping exactly ten days to bring the calendar back into harmony with the heavenly bodies. \n\nWere the days of the week confused? No. Friday still followed Thursday, and Saturday still followed Friday. The same seventh day remained, and the weekly cycle was not disturbed in the least. When we keep the seventh day on Saturday, we are observing the same day Jesus kept, and He did it every week according to Luke 4:16.\n\n3. The third evidence for the true Sabbath is the most conclusive of all. The Jewish people have been observing the seventh day from the time of Abraham, and they still keep it today. Here is a whole nation - millions of individuals - who have been counting off time meticulously, week after week, calendar or no calendar, for thousands of years. Could they have lost track? Impossi

Actually Friday is our holy day. and the story refers to the Children of Israel, who when they were given the torah, they were told not to work on the sabbath. \n\nhowever, that was specific to the children of Israel, and so we as Muslims have friday as our holy day.\n\nwallahu alem (and Allah knows best)

Originally the sabbath day was the seventh day of the week, or Saturday. Seventh Day Adventists still worship on Saturdays. Most of the Christian world, however, worships on Sunday, the Lord's day of resurrection. So, is it okay to go to church on Saturdays? It depends on what your understanding of the scriptures leads you to do. I, personally, worship on Sundays and do my best to keep the Lord's day holy.

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.

Genesus says an evening and morning.   The Hebrew word translates as "day" always means a day when used in conjunction with a number in non-prophetic scripture, as in Genesis 1.\nIt is clear in Exodous 20 that God meant days when he said remember the Sabbath day that the world was created in 6 days and on the 7th He rested.  They understood the sabbath came once every 7 days.\nIf this was millions of years, then consider this, God made the plants on day 3.  He placed the sun and moon on day 4.  How did these plants survive millions of years without the sun.\nAlso, some plants require inscets or other animals to carry on reproduction.  Inscets and animals were not created until days 5 and 6.  How did these plants survive millions of years without these animals?\nJesus said everything was made in 6 days.  Was he mistaken also, or do you know more than he did?\nAlso Genesis 1 talks about "days", "seasons", and "years".  If a day was millions of years, then what was a season or a year?  What was an "evening and morning"?\nI believe God is strong enough to do it exactly the way (time period) His word says it happened.

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?

Monday, is the first day of the week.  God made the Earth in six days and rested on the seventh which is Sunday the last day of the week.  They put Sunday the first day of the week on the calendar so people don't get Saturday & Sunday mixed up.

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.

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.

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!)
