JESUS SAYS..........

Jesus didn't say anything about not working on Sunday. Sunday is NOT the seventh day. It is actually the first day of the week and was put in place of Saturday, the true Sabbath, by the Roman emperor Constantine to get more pagans to convert easily and abandon similarities with the Jews. The Roman Catholic Church itself admitted to chnaging the Sabbath day that God established. There is no place in the Bible were God said that we should rest on Sunday. I don't observe Sunday, I observe Saturday because I'm a Seventh-day Adventist. If you look at the calender the first day is Sunday while the seventh is Saturday. The Bible says," Remember the seventh day and keep it holy", it says nothing about remember the first day and keep it holy. Saturday is the true Sabbath.

Actually, there isn't anything biblical about Sunday at all. The sabbath is from sundown on Friday night to sundown on Saturday night. The sabbath was given as a day for rest, forced rest to be honest. Not abiding by the "no work" thing was a death sentence. One man went to pick up manna on the sabbath and got stoned to death for it, so it wasn't optional. Constantine changed the sabbath to Sunday in order to make it easier for pagans to convert, but since Constantine didn't have the power to change the sabbath, it's still Saturday, except to people who either don't know its not biblical or don't care.
Nowhere in the bible, neither Paul nor Acts changed the sabbath. The diciples and apostles were Jewish, they celebrated the sabbath on the correct day, as did Jesus. They did not change it. Just annoys me to no end the excuses christians come up with for going against "honor the sabbath and keep it holy".

The Sabbath is the seventh day of the week. That's the day we're not supposed to work. Sunday is the first day of the week. Jesus was a Jew who observed the Sabbath on the seventh day of the week. Jesus said "follow me." Those who claim to follow Jesus should not work on Saturday. Sunday is not a no-work day.

Because Christians have changed things and say that you shouldn't work on Sunday so they have an excuse to be lazy. And, yes God said to rest on the Sabbath, but technically, the ORIGINAL day of the Sabbath is Saturday...it's not that some people believe Sunday, some believe Saturday...it's that some other religions kept it as it was intended.

Actually Sunday is the Lords Day to the new testament church which paul speaks about in the book of acts and also John does in revelation,the sabbath is actually on saturday which no work was done on those days. but since Jesus came to fulfill the law he made it possible that work could be done on saturday since many of the miracles he did was on a saturday.and he made it clear that he is the Lord of the sabbath and sabbath was made for man not man for the sabbath

For some it is the Sabbath: a day of rest and worship: Sunday for most Christians; Saturday for the Jews and a few Christians; Friday for Muslims

The bible says that the world was created within seven days.
The sixth day is the sabbith and on the seventh day it was meant for man to rest. This is according to the Old Testement
and the Hebrew Bible.
In otherwords. Services start at sundown on Friday evening when the Sun goes down for the Start of Saturday Morning all day.
Sunday is a day of rest.
No work or labor is to be done that day . Family and rest are to be taken on that day only.
In Ecclesstes is tells of it is a time to for everything:
A time to sew
A time to labor
A time to weep
Etc.
That is why it

some people think it's saturday some say it's sunday... God said u must rest on the sabbath day... since he never told us which day that was, we try to figure it themselves. i think that saturday is the sabbath day (since u know... everybody party's on mostly saturdays getting away from work and school, and also that on the calender saturday is the end of the week) but sum do in on sunday. it doesn't really matter to me, as long as u get a sabbath day.

Some faiths celebrate the Sabbath on a Saturday.
Answer: Because the U.S. is altogether WAY too bible-banging.
