The Sabbath Day??

Question

I am wondering if most people know that the seventh day (Saturday) is the Sabbath and on this is day you should rest and keep it Holy?? With knowing that, why does everybody still go to church on Sunday...the first day of the week??....I'm not trying to offend anyone...just curious about the answers!!
Be Blessed!!

Answer 1

i am christian and i go to church on saturday! its good to know other people out there believe what i believe.

Emperor constantine changed the day of rest from Saturday to Sunday since both christians and pagans lived in his empire. he didnt like having TWO days of rest, so he moved it to sunday. the Sun in Sunday is for a pagan god. i guess it stuck.

God Bless You.

Answer 2

Yes this is commonly known - however, Christ rose on the 1st day of the weeks and told the disciples to gather together - it was in this nature that the "Christians" began to meet on the first day of the week - this was the day they were gathered for Pentecost - as the Jews used the temple on the Sabbath and the Christian Sect desired a place to hold worship as they were growing then to use the first day of the week did not seem out of place. Then as 100's of years would pass and the Roman rule and the Judaic Rulers would reach an agreement of taking the widespread "Christians" name, use it as the State Religion name and use its Holy Day, Sunday. The results would be a united political religion known as Catholicism. For those who still believe quite literally in the church that Jesus established what Rome and Judaic Rulers put together is not the Church that Christ desired and the result of such has been many church divisions and separations that have made it difficult to find a church that is truly allowing itself to be lead by the Holy Spirit and therefore teaching the sound doctrines without manmade traditions that Christ teaches in the New Testament.

It is interesting because God did command a particular day and did not allow people to keep any day they wanted. While in the wilderness after fleeing Egypt, the Hebrews were sent manna from Heaven. This manna fell six days a week but did not fall on the Sabbath. God knew what day the Sabbath was, the Hebrews knew it, and the Jewish people of today still know it. They keep the same day today that their ancestors did when God sent the manna.

"On the sixth day the people gathered twice as much food -- four quarts for every person. When all the leaders of the community came and told this to Moses, he said to them, "This is what the Lord commanded, because tomorrow is the Sabbath, the Lord's holy day of rest. Bake what you want to bake, and boil what you want to boil today. Save the rest of the food until tomorrow morning." So the people saved it until the next morning, as Moses had commanded, and none of it began to stink or have worms in it. Moses told the people, "Eat the food you gathered yesterday. Today is a Sabbath, the Lord's day of rest; you will not find any out in the field today. You should gather the food for six days, but the seventh day is a Sabbath day. On that day there will not be any food on the ground." On the seventh day some of the people went out to gather food, but they couldn't find any. Then the Lord said to Moses, "How long will you people refuse to obey my commands and teachings? Look, the Lord has made the Sabbath a day of rest for you. So on the sixth day he will give you enough food for two days, but on the seventh day each of you must stay where you are. Do not go anywhere." So the people rested on the seventh day. The people of Israel called the food manna. It was like small white seeds and tasted like wafers made with honey." (Exodus 16:22 - 31 NCV)

You can search the New Testament, and even the entire Bible for that matter, and you will not find one place that the Sabbath law has been revoked. What you will find is that the apostles and early church did keep the Sabbath, and Jesus expected His followers to be keeping the Sabbath some 60 years after His death.

"At that time, how terrible it will be for women who are pregnant or have nursing babies! Pray that it will not be winter or a Sabbath day when these things happen and you have to run away, because at that time there will be much trouble. There will be more trouble than there has ever been since the beginning of the world until now, and nothing as bad will ever happen again." (Matthew 24:19 - 21 NCV)

"They continued their trip from Perga and went to Antioch, a city in Pisidia. On the Sabbath day they went into the synagogue and sat down." (Acts 13:14 NCV)

"While Paul and Barnabas were leaving the synagogue, the people asked them to tell them more about these things on the next Sabbath." (Acts 13:42 NCV)

"On the next Sabbath day, almost everyone in the city came to hear the word of the Lord." (Acts 13:44 NCV)

"On the Sabbath day we went outside the city gate to the river where we thought we would find a special place for prayer. Some women had gathered there, so we sat down and talked with them." (Acts 16:13 NCV) (This is most interesting because Paul kept the Sabbath even when there was not a group of Jews to keep it with or a church to keep it in. He was in Philippi, and there were very few Jews there)

"Paul went into the synagogue as he always did, and on each Sabbath day for three weeks, he talked with the Jews about the Scriptures." (Acts 17:2 NCV)

"Every Sabbath day he talked with the Jews and Greeks in the synagogue, trying to persuade them to believe in Jesus." (Acts 18:4 NCV)

Check the Ten Commandments; they tell us the reason we should keep the Sabbath.

"The reason is that in six days the Lord made everything -- the sky, the earth, the sea, and everything in them. On the seventh day he rested. So the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy." (Exodus 20:11)

That reason still stands today. The Sabbath has nothing to do with the nation of Israel but everything to do with creation. God did not command the Sabbath because he wanted the Israelites to be different; He commanded it because He created it in the first week. God tries to give us a gift, and we say that it is a burden and we do not want it.

Answer 5

Yes the sabbath is saturday. To teel youthe truth. It goes all the way back to the creation of the earth. When God created night and day. he created seven and seven nights. but if you follows the teaching s of jesus or jona in the whales belly. Esther 4:16.1samuel 30:12 it all has to do with the three days and three nights all of those expressions from the old testament leads up to the expression Jesus used in Matt 12:40, :16:4,Luke 11:30 with all those expresions lead up to the resurection of the body It means sickness without food. the leading up to death. So when Godsaid he rest on the seventh day. because his work was finished. the same with Jesus. When he rose on the third day his work was finished and that is why we go tochurch on sundays to thank god on the day of his divine completion of work. The same with Jesus. it was the divine completion of his work. So what I am saying in the long route of explaining this. We go to church on sundays To thank the lord for completion of work. accually sunday is really the firstday of the week. gen:1John11:9,2corinth11:25,est4:16,1samuel 30:12,Jonah 1:17,matt 12:40, 16:4,luke 11:30, the expression the heart of the sea is the same meaning heart of the sea in these verses.Ezeck 27:25,26, 28:8,28,2,Then Johna uses the in heb beten wich when translated means womb 2:2. But it all ties into the completion of work. And thanking God on the first day of the week Wich is the day of rest. Sunday. God bless

Answer 6

Happy Sabbath (8-5-06)!

People erroneously say that the Sabbath is a Jewish issue. Adam & Eve kept the Sabbath; they had a personal relationship w/ God; they weren't Jewish; there were no organized religions back then. There was a group of people who arrogantly changed God's chosen & blessed day to Sunday.

I like ur question.

Answer 7

There is only one Sabbath, it is Saturday. Always has, always will be. Christians do not have a Sabbath, unless they are a Christian Jew-then it will be Saturday. Christians started their worship on the day Jesus rose from the dead-Sunday. It is not a day of rest-it is a day of worship and work. Always has, and always will be.

Answer 8

ppl mistakenly think that parts of god's law were removed after jesus died on the cross. I think the Catholic Church started sunday worship. I think the Seventh Day Adventists worship on the Sabbath.

Answer 9

I worship 7 days a week and attend services on Saturday

Answer 10

back in Jesus time the Jew's worshiped in the temples on Saturday so the Christians wanted a day so they worshiped on Sunday when the temples were free. and that's how that got started
