if I attend mass on a Saturday in place of a Sunday, does that actually make the Sabbith a Saturday in this case? When the Bible says to "honor the Sabbith" should I honor it as Saturday? Any feedback will be appreciated.

The Sabbath, given by Gd to the Jews, is on the seventh day of the week:::

IN THE TEN COMMANDMENTS:
Exodus 20:8-10 Remember the sabbath day, to
keep it holy. 9 Six days shalt thou labour,
and do all thy work: 10 But the seventh day
is the sabbath of the Etrnl thy Gd: 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:

BETWEEN GD AND THE JEWS:
Exodus 31:16-17 Wherefore the children of
Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe
the sabbath throughout their generations,
for a perpetual covenant. 17 It is a sign
between me and the children of Israel for
ever: for in six days the Etrnl made heaven
and earth, and on the seventh day he rested,
and was refreshed.

Now, since the Bible says it should be on the seventh day, go look at any calendar, and see which is the seventh day. You will know it because it will be all the way to the right of the month. However, since yo uare not a Jew, it does not matter, since you are not supposed to observe the Sabbath, anyway.....

The sabbath is Saturday. Look at your calendar. The first day of the week is Sunday and the last Saturday. The Sabbath is supposed to be the last day of the week, and thus it is Saturday. Anyone who recognizes the Sabbath as Sunday is on a satanic trip (this was not something up to opinion).

This question only arises because the Catholic Church took upon itself to change what day they would celebrate the Sabbath on some 3 or 4 hundred years ago. There was no divine mandate for it, its was just the current Pope's way of screwing anyone who followed him. Just more confusion stemming from the Catholic Church. Its not so well known that the Catholic Church and the Satanic Church have been in league for quite some time now.

Tell you what. Take the statement on the Popes hat and convert those letters into Roman Numerals. Then add them together. The sum you achieve will surprise you, and it should terrify you.

Some churches accept Saturday services as Sabbith Worship

Sunday Sabbath is an institution of the Catholic church, It Is Not Scriptural. The Bible teaches only one Sabbath, The Seventh Day. Read Gen 2:1-3; Ex 20:8-11; Mark 2:27,28; Rev 12:17; 14:12; 22:14;

Since you said "mass" that would be Catholic, and the church does accept Saturday mass as fulling the day of obligation within the understanding of the church.

As for honor of the Sabbath, we are told in the New Testement not to honor one day more than the other. Also the meaning of Sabbath was a day of rest not a church service, actually by the early rules you could not have walked to church (temple) on a sabbath, since that would have been too much work.

Sunday by Christians are normally but not always used because it is in respect to the day Chrsit rose from the dead.

It's okay to attend Mass on Saturday instead of Sunday so long as it's an evening service because of the old Heberw sunset-to-sunset definition of a day. Early Jewish Christians celebrated the Sabbath on Saturday and then the Resurrection on Sunday. The gentiles who entered the Church, however, didn't follow the old Jewish laws and so only celebrated the Resurrection on Sunday. As the Church became more and more removed from it's Judaic roots, the observation of the Sabbath moved from Saturday to Sunday. I don't really think it matters too much what day of the week it is so long as you consistantly reserve one day as the Sabbath for rest, prayer, and worship.

Sabbath is always Sabbath. It starts from the eve of Saturday [Friday evening] to the eve of Sunday [Saturday evening].

It was promulgated during the formation of the Official State Religion of Rome [the RCC] to change Sabbath to Sunday... which has been followed for the last 1700 years now. That was when the powerful RCC began its mission to obliterate and eradicate any and all Sabbath worshippers --primarily the Jews at the time-- and "made" their Sabbath into Sunday instead.

People in Christendom today --Protestant churches followed the lead of the Mother Church, the RCC-- do not realize that they attend services on Sunday, which is the day that the pagan Romans worshipped to their Sun god in their religion, Sol Invictus.

Peace be with you!

the sabbith is Saturday the seventh day of the week. Christians attend church on Sunday to remember that Christ rose on Sunday.

The word sabbith means day of rest. You can rest in the Lord and worship him any day of the week. Living under grace and not under the law does not confine you to a certain time or day to worship and rest in the Lord.

Originally, Saturday was the Sabbath. Here is why we now celebrate the Lord's day on Sunday:

The Resurrection:
Luke 24:1 "On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb."

The tradition:
Acts 20:7 "On the first day of the week we came together to break bread."

The Spiritual reality:
Colossians 2:16 "Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day."

Jesus is "Lord of the Sabbath". He has kept this command perfectly on our behalf...all legalistic observance is done. We live in Christian liberty, by the guidance of the Spirit. Therefore, we "remember the Sabbath" by setting aside time to worship...you are free to worship on the day/time of your choosing.

God said, "I desire mercy, not sacrifice." (Hosea 6:6). Compliance with "rules" means nothing. We walk by faith, trusting in God's grace.
