When is the sabbath day?

Answer 1

Which day is the Sabbath? Is it Saturday? On which day should a Christian worship? I believe it is Sunday. The Saturday Sabbath was given to Israel. Ezekiel 20:12,20 states: I gave them [Israel] my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am the LORD and also hallow my sabbaths; and they shall be a sign between me and you [Israel]. This was the first covenant to Israel.

Christians have a new covenant. Jesus made a surety of a better testament (Hebrews 7:22). He [Christ] is the mediator of a better covenant (Hebrews 8:6). He [Christ] is the mediator of the new testament [or new agreement] (Hebrews 9:15).

Because of His death and this new agreement, we are no longer under ceremonial laws involving days. Moral laws are in effect in believer's hearts, but not the ceremonial laws. Proof? God says in Colossians 2:14,16 that Christ [blotted] out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross.... Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holy- day, or of the new moon, or [Get it!] of the sabbath days.

We are not under the law, but under grace (Romans 6:14). God's moral law is written within and upon the hearts of believers, but ceremonial laws involving days have been nailed to the cross. We honor the Saviour of the new covenant on a new day -- the day of His resurrection, which is Sunday, the first day of the week. This we do out of love, not servitude, not through law, but through grace.

Answer 2

Hi,

The Sabbath day is the 7th day of the week (Saturday) which is the day prior to the first day of the week (Sunday) in the Bible. Since the Bible does not use the words Saturday or Sunday we must look to history and the numerous scholarly sources that agree that the day we call Saturday today was the day called the Sabbath in the Bible.

While most people (Christian and Jews) who observe the 7th day believe that the sabbath runs from Friday sunset to Saturday sunset (as I once did), it must be noted that numerous scholars believe that a Biblical day begins at dawn and not at sunset. I believe that the day (including the Sabbath day) runs from dawn to dark, just as most any child would tell you if you asked them when a day begins and ends.

Please see the website below for an in depth study on the topic of a Biblical day (A Case for the 12 Hour Sabbath)

I hope this helps

Answer 3

According to the Bible, the day begins and ends at sunset and the days of the week are numbered so that the Sabbath is naturally the Seventh Day of the week, while Saturday begins at midnight on Friday and ends at midnight on Saturday,and these days are pagan days, for only pagans will worship a God that starts his day at midnight, and Sunday is the day that is set aside by pagans for the worship of the Sun God Zeus.
Which brings us back to the crucifixion and resurrection and the three days from Friday to early Sunday morning which does not account for more than 36 hours yet the worshippers of Zeus saw Three Days, forgetting that the crucifixion of the 2 thieves began late in the afternoon of the Sixth Day, on which the Passover was being celebrated, and went into the Sabbath, and it was early the following morning, not the Sunday mind you, since Jews and Jesus never had a Sunday, but the women were going to add some fresh spices to the tomb to spice up the burial of 100 lbs. of aloes and myrrh, when they met these Roman soldiers clowning around the open tomb that the Biblical Jews had invaded to expose the fake burial by which they witnessed for themselves that the Christ had escaped their assassination a second time, and Pilate had assisted in the Hoax of the BC/AD era, the now 2000 years of religious fraud.
Check the Bible and see it expose the Greatest Escape of Biblical teachings.
And all of this was done without any violence and/or hatred.
Amen

Answer 4

According to Jewish tradition, Sabbath begins with the appearance of 3 stars on Friday after the sun has set. The day begins in darkness because of the Old Testament story of creation that begins with a day of darkness. Dark/Light: 1 day.

Seeing as how nobody is working Friday night, this lasts until the sun sets again - Saturday night. There is your Holy day of rest, commanded by the G*d of the Jews, Christians, and Muslims. 7th Day Adventists say the Catholic church (controlled by Satan) moved the Day of Rest/Worship to Sunday, but other historians will tell you non-Catholic Christians had already begun a Sunday tradition.

Answer 5

It begins at sunset on Friday and ends at sunset on Saturday. The Christians celebrate a sort-of-sabbath on Sunday, because that is the day Christ was resurrected. But the Jewish Sabbath is Saturday. Yet they count their days differently than we do, as i mentioned above.

Answer 6

It is the seventh day of creation in Abrahamic religions.

Originally denoting Saturday, the seventh day of the week, or, more precisely, the time period from Friday sunset to Saturday sunset, the term 'sabbath' can now mean one of several things, depending on the context and the speaker:

* Saturday, as originally, in reference to Jewish or historical observance;
* Saturday, as above, as a day of observance for some Christian groups;
* Sunday, as the day of observance for Roman Catholics and other Christian groups;
* Saturday and Sunday as a day of relaxing;
* Any day or time period for relaxing and enjoying God

Answer 7

In the bible it say that God created the world in six days, on the sabbath day he rested. It might be in there, but I never knew it told what day he started on. That's why every day you should keep HOLY.

Answer 8

The day that God rested. Accoriding to tradition, this begins Friday night and ends on Saturday night, since the verse says "and there was evening and there was morning." We take this as a hint that evening is the start of any given 24 hour period.

Answer 9

I would recommend that that you read the King James version of the Bible. It contains the answers to your questions.
God the Father knew you before you we born in eternity past and when you were formed in your mother womb. We are born with a Soul that will live for eternity. We must decide as a free will agent to accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior or not.
Our decision determines whether we spend eternity in Heaven or Hell.
I Pray that you make the right decision.
Jesus Christ Loves You.
God Bless you is my prayer.
David

Answer 10

The last day of the week. If you are Jewish, it begins at sundown on Friday and ends at sundown on Saturday.

Don't bother with the KJV of the bible. It was written so that it would say what king James the First of England wanted it to say and accuracy be d@mned.
