Can anyone out there find in the bible that Jesus said, He changed the seventh day worship to Sunday?

Question

Please don't use the excuse for His resurrection on the first day, it still does not say that He changed it. There are eight scriptures on the first day in the New Testament and none of them say anything about changing the Sabbath day. So where is it? Remember the scpritures have to actually said it. Amen!

Answer 1

Jesus didn't change it, and neither did the apostles. It did not start to surface until the third century. There is not one place that the Bible says to honor a day for the resurrection of Christ, keep Sunday holy, to honor an eighth day (no reference to an eight day exists in the Bible), or to rest/worship on the first day. People prefer to follow the traditions of men over the word of God!

"'And in vain they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men. For laying aside the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men, the washing of pitchers and cups, and many other such things you do.' He said to them, 'All too well you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition.'" (Mark 7:7 - 9 NKJV)

Answer 2

In Judaism the sabbath (Hebrew, "rest") was a day of the week God set aside for the Jews to rest and worship. The weekly sabbath was one of three kinds of holy days on the Jewish calendar. The other two were the monthly new moons and the seven yearly festivals (Neh. 10:33, Lev. 23, Num. 29:6). Because of the Jewish way of reckoning time, according to which the new day began at sunset rather than midnight, the sabbath actually began at sundown on Friday and lasted until sundown on Saturday (though some Adventists do not realize this and celebrate Saturday from midnight to midnight, according to the modern way of reckoning days).

Since Jesus was the Son of God, he had authority to change the sabbath if he wished. When his disciples were chastised for plucking grain on the sabbath (Mark 2:23-28), Christ pointed to an example from the life of David to justify the conclusion, "The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath. Therefore the Son of Man is also Lord of the sabbath" (v. 27-28).

We can verify that the apostles understood Christ's coming as having made a permanent change in the sabbath by looking at Paul's epistles. In Galatians 4:10, in the middle of his letter urging the Galatians not to subject themselves to the Law of Moses, Paul states, "[Y]ou have come to know God . . . how can you turn back again to the weak and beggarly elements, whose slaves you want to be once more? You observe days, and months, and seasons, and years! I am afraid I have labored over you in vain." Paul thus worries about the Galatians keeping the Jewish festal calendar (including the sabbath), which would render his labor to save them vain (see Gal. 5:2-5).

In Colossians 2:14-16, Paul mentions the sabbath by name, stating that Christ has "canceled the bond which stood against us with its legal demands . . . Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a sabbath. These are only a shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ." Festivals, new moons, and sabbaths were the three kinds of feast days of the Mosaic calendar (see Neh. 10:33, Lev. 23, Num. 29:6). Paul thus states that the whole Jewish festal calendar, sabbath days included, is not binding on Christians.

By requiring Sunday worship the Church is simply following the lead of the apostles. There was clearly a day which the early Church considered specially consecrated to the Lord. John tells us that he wrote the book of Revelation because of a vision he saw "on the Lord's day" (Rev. 1:10).

Elsewhere we learn which day that was. In 1 Corinthians 16:2, Paul tells his readers, "On the first day of every week, each of you is to put something aside and store it up, as he may prosper, so that contributions need not be made when I come." Paul exhorts his readers to get their church's contribution together ahead of time so it won't have to be put together when he arrives (see 2 Cor. 9:3-5).

He tells them when to contribute to the gift: every first day of the week--every Sunday. Why? Because that is the day the early Church met for worship. Even though the Old Testament sabbath had passed away, the early Church commemorated Christ's resurrection on Sunday, the first day of the week, because that was the day Christ arose (Mark 16:9, see also Mark 16:2 and Luke 24:1).

Answer 3

Jesus said that Man was not made for the Sabbath.

Mark 2:26-28
In the days of Abiathar the high priest, he entered the house of God and ate the consecrated bread, which is lawful only for priests to eat. And he also gave some to his companions."

Then he said to them, "The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.

So the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath."

Addition;

God judges the heart.

We can rest and worship Him "Any" day of the week or all the days of the week because we are not under the law. We can eat whatever we want also!

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.

Answer 4

It's really really simple. God rested on the last day of the week. Even though the calender shows Sunday as the first day of the week, the actual first day of the "work-week" starts on Monday. The work week here is what's important since God worked for the first six days just like us. What ever day is the actual last day of the "work-week" is the actual Sabbath day. Forget about written calenders. God goes by what IS not by what a piece of paper shows.

Answer 5

Jesus did not say it. it is in the Ten Commandments

THE THIRD COMMANDMENT

Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor, and do all your work; but the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God; in it you shall not do any work.

The sabbath was made for man, not man for the sabbath; so the Son of Man is lord even of the sabbath.

Answer 6

Jesus never said that, it is not in the bible, and the scriptures do NOT actually have to say it. But I do understand the interest in the question of why the "day of rest and worship" got moved.

Answer 7

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 8

One day in seven is sufficient.

Why, because the first day of the first month is the spring equinox at sunset.

So it covers two days sunset to sunset and falls on many days of the week.

One day in seven is sufficient.

Besides, was the first day Monday?

Gen 1:5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

One day in seven is sufficient.

Answer 10

According to Catholics, the pope is God, so whatever he says, when speaking as God, is divine revelation. And must be obeyed as a commandment. If Catholics do not obey him, a minor Catholic God, a priest, will condemn him to hell.

And, the Catholic God changed the official day of worship.
