Everyone speaks of "the Sabbath Day", but no one says exactly what day of the week it really is. The bible, to my knowledge, does not specify the weekly name of the Seventh (7th) day. On what day does day 1 begin (Monday or Sunday)? My first day is Monday, beginning of the work week. However I am not sure if this were made up by man or decreed by GOD. Does anyone know the answer to this without being biased toward Saturday or Sunday. I know all of those arguments. I need the truth, so I will set my Sabbath on the correct day. Food for thought: if GOD rested on the Sabbath, why does man feel the need to go thru rituals i.e. dressing up for church, driving his car, or preparing other things that appear to be work. My thoughts are that we put away our own desires and worship HIM by peaceful study and reflection of HIS word. Which does not entail rushing the kids, getting stressed by time constraints and driving a car. This rush to "fellowship" should be for
other days 4 HIM.
