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.

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.

according to the bible, the sabbath should be practised on saturday, but later changed by people based on their minds.\ni must say, SATURDAY is found as the day of rest because of the resurection of jesus.\nwe all know that jesus was hanged on friday and resurected on sunday.the bible says that he rested the sabbath, the next day. and the 1st day of the week he resurected. according to the rules god gave to israelites in the book of exodus, the sabbath starts on friday sunset and ends on saturday sun set.\n(for more about verses just contact me on my profile)\nthanks for yo qn and happier if you understand the above.\ngood luck

Saturday is the one and only Sabbath. The Catholic church claimed to change it and many protestants follow there command, but who has the power to change what God commanded. I recently answered this question. here is more information\n\n\nThis is a VERY IMPORTANT subject I know it is long, but PLEASE read it\n\n\nA challenge, where in the Bible does it call Sunday the New Sabbath?\nsearch the scriptures you will not find it\n\n\nWas the Sabbath created by God on Mt. Sinai?\n\nAnd on the seventh day God ended His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done. Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which God had created and made. \nGenesis 2:2,3\n\nThe Sabbath was part of creation week\n\n\nWhat does the Bible say about the Sabbath?\n\n“ 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 do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it. Exodus 20:8-11\n\n\nBut we don’t really know which day is the seventh?\n\nIt is highly unlikely that the entire Jewish community forgot which day was their Holy day.\n\nWhich day is the seventh day?\n\nSaturday : the seventh day of the week\n-Webster’s Dictionary\n\n\nAre there other examples of God emphasizing the Sabbath?\n\nHe said to them, "This is what the LORD commanded: 'Tomorrow is to be a day of rest, a holy Sabbath to the LORD. Exodus 16:23 \n\nAnd the LORD said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws? See, for that the LORD hath given you the Sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day. So the people rested on the seventh day. Exodus 16:28-30\n\nBoth of these examples are before Mt. Sinai and the 10 commandments. \n\nSpeak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my Sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the LORD that doth sanctify you. Exodus 30:13\n\n\nI am a Christian and I want to follow Christ. Did Jesus keep the Sabbath?\n\nHe went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom. And he stood up to read. Luke 4:16\n\nGoing on from that place, he went into their synagogue, and a man with a shriveled hand was there. Looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, they asked him, "Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?" Matthew 12:9,10\n\nThey went to Capernaum, and when the Sabbath came, Jesus went into the synagogue and began to teach. Mark 1:21\n\nWhen the Sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were amazed. Mark 6:2 \n\nHe went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom. And he stood up to read. Luke 4:16\n\nThen he went down to Capernaum, a town in Galilee, and on the Sabbath began to teach the people. Luke 4:31\n\nOn a Sabbath Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues Luke 13:10\n\n\nBut isn’t Sunday the Lord’s day?\n\nSix days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD your God. Exodus 20:8\n\nIf thou turn away thy foot from the Sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the Sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honourable; and shalt honour Him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words:\nIsa 58:14 Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride up

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.

It is no sin to worship on Sunday - give God praise & worship every day!\n\n"Remember the Sabbath & keep it holy" was written in stone; it is the Word of God, it is part of His Law. It has NEVER been changed by God (or by Scripture). Roman Emperor Constantine decreed that all in his empire must desecrate the Sabbath & worship on Sunday, "the venerable day of the sun god" (according to his proclamation). The Pope assumed the power & authority to change God's Law... the Protestants follow the same pagan traditions of man (as do most non-denominationals). God has NEVER tolerated paganism mixed into His worship.

Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. \nI have learned a great deal from you, and I try to share that knowledge \nwith as many people as I can. \nI do need some advice from you, however, regarding some other specific \nBiblical laws and how to follow them.\n\na) When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a \npleasing odor for the Lord (Lev. 1:9). The problem is my neighbors. \nThey claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?\n\nb) I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in \nExodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price \nfor her?\n\nc) I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her \nperiod of menstrual uncleanness (Lev.15:19-24). The problem is, how do I tell? \nI have tried asking, but most women take offense. If I come into contact with \na woman who is menstruating and she doesn't tell me until afterwards, must I \nkill her immediately or can I just beat her?\n\nd) Lev. 25:44 states that I may indeed possess slaves, both male and female, \nprovided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims\nthat this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? \nWhy can't I own Canadians?\n\ne) I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 \nclearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill \nhim myself? Also, is Sabbath on Saturday as Seventh Day Adventists \n(Christians, like us...or are they?) or is it on Sunday as Baptists and \nsome other faiths agree? I am beset by not knowing who to kill and when \nto kill them...please clarify this for me.\n\nf) A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination\n (Lev. 11:10), it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality (Lev. 18:22). \nI don't agree. I'm also confused about how homosexuality can be an abomination \nwhen Jonathan and David were married in the Bible (1 Samuel 18:1, 3 - 4). \nHere, I'll quote it - "And it came to pass, when he had made an end of \nspeaking unto Saul that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David \nand Jonathan loved him as his own soul. Then Jonathan and David made a \ncovenant, because he loved him as his own soul. And Jonathan stripped himself\nof the robe that was upon him, and gave it to David, and his garments, even \nto his sword and to his bow and to his girdle." and also Ruth's relationship \nwith Naomi is suspect, (Ruth 1:16-17) "And Ruth said to Naomi, Entreat me not \nto leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, \nI will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, \nand thy God my God: Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: \nthe Lord do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part three and me.\n" Can you settle this?\n\ng) Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a \ndefect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my \nvision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle room here?\n\nh) Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around \ntheir temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev.19:27 and even \nthough 1st Cor. 11:4-6 says that it is a shame upon a man to have long hair. \nHow should they die?\n\ni) I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me \nunclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves? Also, since it is \nstrictly forbidden to "eat neither fat nor blood" in Lev. 3:17 & Lev. 19:26, \ndoes that mean that I must be a vegetarian and must I smite those who choose \nto eat meat?\n\nj) My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev. 19:19 by planting two different \ncrops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two \ndifferent kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse \nand blaspheme a lot. Is i

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.

"Why do ppl worship on sunday not saturday?"\n\nThere are 12 reasons why people worship on Sunday but NONE are Biblical. Below I will describe them It may be a little long.\n\n\n1) "Sunday is the New Sabbath." or "Because Jesus rose on Sunday"\nThere is NO scripture that calls Sunday the New Sabbath. The only Sabbath Day is Saturday Exodus 20:8\n\nJesus did NOT give us a new day of worship for the Resurection HE gave us baptism Romans 6:1-4, Colosians 2:12, Galatians 3:27,1 Peter 3:21. Please provide the verse that says to worship on Sunday due to the resurection.\n\n2)"The Sabbath was made for the Jews, it is only part of their law"\nThe Sabbath was made more than 2000 yrs before the first Jew existed, it was part of creation Genesis 2:1-3\n\n3)"We don't worship on the Sabbath we worship on the "Lord's Day"... Sunday"\nThe ONLY day called the Lord's day in the Bible is the Sabbath Day(Saturday) Exodus 20:8, Isa 58:13,14. Please produce the verse that calls Sunday the Lord's Day.\n\n4)"The early church changed it."\nThere is no evidence that the early church started worshiping on Sunday.\nPeople usually then quote Acts 20:7 because it says they "broke bread" on the first day... meaning communion. But if they read Acts chapter 2 it says they broke bread everyday, breaking bread means eating. I can produce 7 verses where Jesus kept the Sabbath, 6 obvious verses where the early church (Apostles, Jews AND the GENTILES) met on Sabbath to worship compared to only one ambiguous text for Sunday. The weight of the evidence is for Sabbath(Saturday) worship. \n\n5)"Jesus did away with they law on the cross."\nMany things are wrong wtih this \nA)There are 2 laws, Moral and Ceremonial. The Sabbath is part of the Moral law not Ceremonial.\nB)Jesus says in Matthew 5 that he did not come to destroy the law. \nC)They keep the others the ONLY commandment ignored and discarded starts with "REMEMBER", maybe God knew people would forget it. \nD)The ONLY laws done away with were the levitical(ceremonial laws). Col 2:14. The Sabbath day is not part of the ceremonial law... it is part of the moral law.\nE)"Sin is the transgression of the law" - 1 John 3:4\n"Where there is no law there is no sin" Romans 4:15\nIf there is no sin then Jesus didn't die for you, because you did not sin.\nF) since the law is gone can we now kill and steal and commit adultery, and worship other gods, can we disrespect our parents, or worship idols? No? then why are you trying to do away with the only one that starts off with "REMEMBER". \nG) Paul in Romans says we are to uphold the Law\n\n6)"It doesn't matter" or "We can't tell which day is the Sabbath\nA)The commandment doesn't say pick a 7th day it says THE 7th Day is the Sabbath. The Jews in Edodus 16 said it doesnt "matter which day" and God told them it does matter, and we know which day is the Sabbath the Jews have kept it for thousands of years.\nB) Luke 22-23 says Jesus rose the day after the Sabbath so if you can't tell which day is the Sabbath then you can't tell which day is Sunday\n\nThe first person to say "It doesn't matter how we worship God" is Cain. Cain said "it doesn't matter how we worship God as long as we give something." Was he right?\n\n7)"We are under the New covenant"\nHebrews 8:7-12 says\nFor if there had been nothing wrong with that first covenant, no place would have been sought for another. But God found fault with the PEOPLE and said "The time is coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah. It will not be like the covenant I made with their forefathers when I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt, because THEY DID NOT REMAIN FAITHFUL TO MY COVENANT, and I turned away from them, decla

Exodus 20:8-11\n\nThe seventh day is the Lord's Day because God rested from all His work on that day and hallowed (made holy) it. As we all know it is Saturday. Some people say we can never know for sure that it is in fact Saturday and that days have changed since creation. You therefore have to search for the truth yourself and not rely on what people tell you. As a start, what I do is try to find out what Saturday translates to in other languages. \nIn Spanish, it is Sábado, from the word sabbath.\nItalian - Sabato\nGreek - Σάββατο\nPortuguese - Sábado\nRussian - Суббота\n\nSo there you have it. The translation of Saturday to other languages resembles Sabbath. However, the Roman church changed it. That is why most people worship on a Sunday and claim that the 1st day the Lord's Day. They also say they worship on the 1st day because Jesus rose on the 1st day. Nothing is wrong with worshiping on the 1st day BUT you must recognise that the 7th day which is the sabbath day is the day of rest, the Lord's Day.\nThere is an organised system now changing the calendars to make Monday the 1st day of the week and Sunday the 7th day. This is because knowledge has increased and more people are recognising the true sabbath. The 1st day is man's day and even if you change the calendar to make it the 7th day it is still man's day. Saturday is the original sabbath given by God. I would rather obey God than man. It is the Lord that determines what His day is. No man can change the Lord's day. God says "I am the Lord your God, I change not". He has not changed his day and it remains the 7th day until the end of time.\nRemember that Satan was cast out of heaven into Earth. He is busy trying to confuse us and one of the mediums he uses is the church and our pastors. That is why there is so much division in the christain society and so many different religions and denominations with each claiming to be the true one. The church of Rome made the change a long time ago during the Dark Ages and the Bible was taken away from everyone. Believers in Christ were persecuted for having a Bible. That is why it is important to seek God for yourself. Keep searching for the truth  with earnest prayer and supplication and you will certainly find it.  Remember my friend that the answers to all your questions are found in God's words. If God did not instruct it do not do it. If man changed it reject it. God is superior to man everytime. All the best and remember that God loves you. Love Him back by obeying His words.

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.

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.

Originally saturday was the sabbath and the holy day.  After the resurrection of Christ early Christians changed the holy day to sunday to show respect for Christs resurrection.  Jews not accepting Christ continued to worship on saturday and still do now.  In the 19th century some Christian groups, including the Seventh-day adventists led by Ellen White, went back to the old day of Saturday.  As far as which is correct and what the only one God thinks you have to ask which church you adhere too.  In the Old Testament Saturday was the day but the New testament does not addressthis issue after Christ and it is more an issue of tradition than literal biblical interpretation as far as I know.

It was God's plan for the members of the family to be associated in work and study, in worship and recreation, the father as priest of his household, and both father and mother as teachers and companions of their children. But the results of sin, having changed the conditions of life, to a great degree prevent this association. Often the father hardly sees the faces of his children throughout the week. He is almost wholly deprived of opportunity for companionship or instruction. But God's love has set a limit to the demands of toil. Over the Sabbath He places His merciful hand. In His own day He preserves for the family opportunity for communion with Him, with nature, and with one another.\n\n"Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, an holy convocation;" Leviticus 23:3\n\nLook at the fourth commandment, a part of it is for us to work and the other part is for us keep the seventh day holy - Saturday.

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.
