What day do the Jews celebrate the Sabbath? Is is Saturday or Sunday?

Answer 1

Saturday...as do Seventh-Day Adventists who also refer to it as the Sabbath.

Answer 2

Early christians celebrated the same sabbath as the Jews until Constantine changed it to Sunday, which was the day the pagans celebrated their sabbath, so it would be easier to convert them. Looks like "remember the sabbath and keep it holy" meant, "but its okay to change it to Sunday if its more convenient". They came up with the excuse that they changed it to Sunday because Christ rose on a Sunday, but that excuse didn't show up for over a 100 years.

Answer 3

Friday night at Sundown to Saturday night at Sundown, and they are not allowed to even cook because it is considered work, so they prepare enough during the day Friday to last until Sabbath is over. Some go overboard and will not even turn on a light switch on the Sabbath because they consider it work and those people hire a gentile to do that stuff for them.

Answer 4

Definitely begins Friday at sundown and ends on Saturday at sundown. Interesting about the light switch because most Jewish people interpret the Sabbath ("Day of Rest") to mean no work in the literal "Paying job" sense. Bar/Bat Mitzvah are held on Saturdays as well as many services, so we don't sit around in the dark. (most of us anyway) and didn't the person who hired the repairman to turn on the light have to pick up the phone to call him anyway? That's strange, but, hey, every religion has the weird ones.

Answer 5

From 18 Minutes before Sundown on Friday till when three stars would be visible on Saturday. It is usually 25 Hours.

Answer 6

Saturday.

Answer 7

Sunday

Answer 8

The Sabbath day, as sanctified by God, is from sunset on "Friday" to sunset on "Saturday". (I quote the days of the week because the names we are all familiar with did not exist yet.) This is why in the description of creation, it reads, "So the evening and the morning were the <> day" (New KJV) between each day, rather than the other way around.

Whereas the Sabbath day (the 7th day of the week) was deemed hallowed by God, the Lord's Day (the 1st day of the week) was sactified by the Catholic church, a fact that is well documented and acknowledged by any Catholic that knows their own history. The Jewish Sabbath (Shabbat) always was, and is to this day, the 7th day of the week, Saturday, as defined in Genesis as the day God rested from his labors of creation, and as mandated in Exodus for observance as His Holy Day. Previous posters are also correct that the Seventh-Day-Adventist denomination also observes Sabbath on Saturday; I was raised in this religion so can speak first-hand to that fact.

It has always amazed me, though, that the vast majority of Protestant religions, whose original intention was to split from the Catholic church, have for centuries retained a practice that was authorized not by God, but by the institution they were attempting to distance themselves from. In researching my response, I found the 2nd link listed in my references, which is a tract published by the Catholic Church in the 1800s posing the same question. While Catholics believe in the authority of their own institution to have changed the day of worship from Saturday to Sunday, the author of this tract questions why Protestant Christians hold to the same practice, even though they have denounced the authority of the Church. Apparently I'm not the only on who wonders...

Answer 9

Sundown Friday to sundown Saturday.

Answer 10

sunset friday to sunset on saturday because for the Jews, sunset was considered as the beginning of the next day. God worked for 6 days on the cration of the universe and on the seventh day, Saturday, he rested. and the Jews feel that they are entitled to do that as well.
