I am a born Christian. I follow Sunday as Holy day and consider as sabath day. My internet friend keeps argueing that Saturday is the Sabathday. He belongs to 7th day Adventurist. During The Bible period there was no Sunday, Monday etc. It only says 7th day, 1st day etc. My principle is to keep the 7th day Holy and it is for worshipping. I don't know when this practice started.Some say Roman Catheolic started this practice. I am a Protestant and follow Sunday as seventh day. What is your comments?

Thanks for all your answers. Nobody could prove their comments by The bible. As I said nowhere in The Bible says 7th day is Saturday, it only says 7th day is Sabath day. Can you straight come to point...why Sunday and why Saurday?

According to ancient documents the Sunday worship seems to have been original for worshiping Jesus. In your bible there is a place where a boy falls out of a window and is brought back by one of the apostles. You'll note that this worship took place on Sunday. Anyway, if those early Christians took the 3(?)rd commandment literally, they would have continued worshiping on Sunday for the rest of their lives. The didache indicates that it was firmly in place as early as 70 AD. The Catholic church "changed" the Sabbath in about 1500. The change appears to be perfectly defensible, and could be considered to be done by the apostles.
ADDITION: The Seventh day adventist I talked to appears to think that the apostles were not at liberty to do this. Something about the blatant or whatever change occured in the first century. I find there arguement tenuous at best, and I doubt their theory that Moses somehow knew what day the "Seventh Day" was and institiuted it among the Jews. This arguement also relies heavily on Creationism and Sola Scriptura. Both of which throw out science in their search for the truth, using it only to prove they are right, and be closed minded to other interpretations of the sacred texts.
BY THE WAY, I believe Peter had the right to do anything He wanted, God trusted him.

Most Christian demoninations celebrate Sunday as the 7th day though 7th Day Adventists and Jews believe it is Saturday.
If you look at the calendar, we technically say the week starts on Sunday which would make Saturday the 7th day of the week.
Most folks think of it as Sunday because we consider the start of the week to be the day we have to go to work/school (Mondays) leaving Sunday as the last day of the week (week-end).

I understand what you are saying. Sunday, Monday, those are just words. The 7th can be any day.
But no matter what, the 7th day IS Saturday. It was changed that way by Constantine and his bishops who agreed on it. It signifies the day that Jesus rose from the dead.

The seventh day adventists are a cult who believe in squandering a full 7th of their entire lives in the name of God. To even argue with that kind of irrational nonsense is just a waste of time.

Sunday is the First Day, not the Seventh. Ask anyone who speaks Hebrew.

Under the old, Mosaic, the people of God were required to keep holy the sabbath. Jesus was the fulfillment, the promise of that covenant between God and His people. The new covenant, Christ's Church, replaces the old covenant and we now keep holy 'The Lord's Day'.

This seems to be a favored subject count right this moment. Catholics are Christians. Catholicism is a denomination of Christianity, and judging be your positioned up you have been suggested with a distinctive denomination. there is no clarification why you should no longer provide it a bypass. it extremely is a church inspite of each and every little thing. all of them have their ameliorations however the folk opt for the comparable reason, to worship God.

I am a Baptist. However, from my understanding and those I know, yes Saturday is the Sabbath. That's just what I heard.
