Why are there 7 days in a week?

Jason M - That has to do with months, not weeks.\n\nThe 7 day week is because of creation.

One could say the universe was created in 7 days.  A day is one rotation of the world.  How is it that God created some of these things when there was no globe in which to register this amount of time.  The bible also says that 1000 years are not even a day to god.  If god was the only one around then time was mostly on his own watch, most likely that is.  So no I don't believe the whole 7 days thing.\n\nI like biblical literalist.  I wonder if the first guy believes the sun rotates around the world as it states in the bible.

it just has to do with our calender, there is always going to be the same days in november and march, bcause it is a constant. there are always the exact same number of days between mar and nov, and its devisible by 7, no weird things, just math, if we made weeks 6 or 8 days long, some other month would logicaly have the same days.

Because an hour was defined such that there are 24 in a day.\n\nThe length of a day is getting longer though but it is still pretty damn close to 24 hours (and anyone who gives you 23 hours 56 minutes for the day length (or 24 hours 37 minutes for a Martian day) is a person who does not know what they are talking about.

No because that's when we changed to the Gregorian calender. As previous measurements of time didn't allow for the fact that there are 365 and 1/4 days in a year plus 11 minutes, dates were becoming out of synchronization. Thus in 1582 the system adopted by Pope Gregory XIII was made law in Britain and it's colonies and is now in worldwide use. This meant 'jumping' from 5th October to 14th October to make up for the discrepancy and caused the 'Missing 9 Days' riots as people thought that they would die nine days sooner than they would have done if the calender had not been amended. This is why no-one was born between those dates as they did not exist.

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.

Friday or Monday as then you have a 3 day weekend.  Sometimes if one of those days is already a Holiday then utilize a Thursday or Tuesday so that you have a 4 day weekend!

It is because you are trying to make a round peg fit into a square hole.\n\n7 x 4 = 28 x 13 lunar months = 364 days, \nbut there are 365 days in a regular year. \nThen in order to fit into the Earth's rotation around the Sun every 4th year we have to add an extra day.\nPlus occasionally we have Leap seconds too.\nConfused?

Yes. But the real question is what are you doing with your seven days a week, starting today. Remember the Lord (God) has given you this day. So live it.
