Isn't there some debate about the calendar system or something?  I'm not entirely clear on this, but I seem to recall several people arguing over what year it really is now, because of the calendar system in effect way back then.\n\nThe only reason I mention this is that someone said Jesus rose on a Sunday, so the sabbath is now Sunday for all Christians.  If the calendar system was different back then from what it is now, how do we know that it was Sunday and not Wednesday or any of the other days of the week?

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!!!!

the bible was written a couple of hundred years after jesus died... do you really think that's exactly what god and jesus said. actually a lot of parts of the bible were destroyed or are kept secret by the vatican! or are just being declared as fake. and most of the holidays we know and celebrate today are actually old pagan dates. the date of easter for example was set by constantine and a council:\n\nBefore 325 C.E. Easter could be celebrated on different days of the week; these included Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. Again, the lack of solidarity among the churches of the ancient world created a schism in the power of the church. Constantine called the Council of Nicea in 325, the first great ecumenical council of the Catholic Church, where not only the Arian controversy concerning the nature of Christ was resolved, but the date of Easter was finally firmly established. This was called the "Easter rule," and the festival is always celebrated on a Sunday between March 22 and April 25 (Tian et. al. 8). This, of course, contributed to a much more unified empire in the far flung borders of Constantine's reign.\n\na lot of things are different than they appear. and the bible is a very nice book if you read it by yourself or with someone you love and you take your time to figure out what the stories mean by yourself... having a priest telling you what it's all about can be dangers... dogmas etc.

It doesn't say that Sunday is the true day of worship.  Sunday became the day of worship, as opposed to Saturday, after the split between the Synagogues and the Church in the 300's AD.\n\nIt also was used in this fashion to honor the day upon which Christ was resurrected.

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

go find a really good dictionary, and look up sabbath, if it is a good dictionary it will tell you that it is Saturday. Look up Saturday and it will tell you that it is the seventh day of the week, sunday is the first day of the week. Go look at you calender, the week begins with sunday and ends with saturday. It is one thing to go by the Bible and it is truth, but when you start going to secular things, dictionary, encylopedia, calender, and they tell you these things, well  how can people argue it, with that is just what the bible says.

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

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.

yes....most of the christian holidays were actually important dates to Pagans...christians would always have their meetings on saturday untill Constantine showed up then it was changed to sunday to help convince his sun worshipping pagan people.  Not only that but Jesus is believed to be born in late summer early fall but that was changed as well so that Constantine would be able to sell the product cause his people believed if you were not born in the later of December there was no way you could be the son of a God.  Not only that but the very picture of Isis feeding her son became the image of Mary breastfeeding Jesus.  The examples could go on and on.  Even the story of Jesus was told before he was born.  Just do some research on Mithra.

Seven years ago I considered it last, but in America it is the first, so since I consider it as first. In other cultures and countries, sunday is a middle day. Iraqi's work week is Saturday through Thursday.

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

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!

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.

If you are asking about DOING work on thee Sabbath, then yes, there are certain religions that believe that only  a)  those laboring for life or death causes, i.e. hospitals, and b)  Pastors can work on Sunday.  \n\nThe reason behind this being  a) even GOD rested on the 7th day, and b) employers who have people working on Sundays are depriving their employees of a day to worship.\n\nI personally do not follow that ethic, maybe because I work in the mental health field, or maybe because I like to shop and eat out on Sundays.   However, my Pastor and his family, whom I admire and respect a great deal, will not eat out, shop, or otherwise engage in business.  They prepare their meals on Saturday night, and eat them cold on Sundays, so that they are not working (except for pastoring in their church.)

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

The answer is yes because Sunday is a feast day.  How do I know?  My priest told me.  I was surprised but it is okay.  It would be your personal decision if you want to continue.

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.................
