Are we still suppost to follow the saturday commandment yes or no and if no where in the bible say to not?

Answer 1

The first Christians were Jews. They went to temple or synagogue on the Sabbath (Saturday) with fellow Jews

Then they gathered on the first day of the week, the day on which Jesus rose from the dead (Sunday), with fellow Christians to tell stories of Jesus and share Eucharist.

Later Gentiles joined Christianity. The Apostles, filled with the Holy Spirit, decided that the Gentiles did not have to covert to Judaism. Therefore, they only attended on Sundays and did not have to abide by Jewish dietary laws.

This has been the practice ever since.

With love in Christ.

Answer 2

I assume you're talking about the commandment that has to do with the Sabbath. It actually says that you should work 6 days & rest on the seventh. So, technically I don't think that it would HAVE to be on a Saturday.

Jesus showed by His example that it was lawful to do good on the Sabbath. But I don't believe that this commandment has been revoked or rescinded. I think that it is still good to take 1 day in 7 as a day of rest & a day to focus on spiritual things.

I believe that the early church celebrated both the Sabbath (on Saturday) and the Lord's Day (on Sunday) until eventually they made the split & only celebrated Sunday.

Answer 3

The exact wording in Exodus says Remember the Sabbath and keep it holy.

Now why would it say that if it were not important? The Sabbath day is Saturday. Jesus was hung on a cross on Wednsday and not on a friday. The prophecies said that he would be dead for three days and three nights and rise on the sabbath. There are not three days inbetween friday and sunday. The bible also says that there was a new moon on the night of his death. Using an almanac, you can check for yourself to see that the new moon that occured in tht April was on a wednsdy... not a friday.

I've posed this question to many preist and scholars and none have answered me satisfactorily. It was probably the begining of my path to atheism.

Answer 4

For those who want to get technical: the way you say "Saturday" in Hebrew is SHABBAT. And in light of the use of the Roman (solar) calendar versus the Hebrew (lunar) calendar, Shabbat begins at sundown on Friday and lasts til sundown on Saturday.

Now as for the spiritual aspect, two things come to mind:

First of all, Jesus said, "The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath". -Mark 2:27 It's a gift from God; a day of rest (how thoughtful and wise of Him). Jesus was several times rebuked for activity on the sabbath. And He always had a good answer to shut them up. Also, Paul said in Colossians 2:16:

"Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath:"

So the answer is NO unless you personally feel the desire to observe the traditional sabbath out of pure respect for the root of the Christian faith, and salvation, which is of the Jews.

Answer 5

There is a certain account in the Gospels about a boy who fell from a window and was brought back. The account clearly takes place on Sunday. Some Christian sects believe the apostles inappropriately changed the Sabbath...

Answer 6

Where does it say Saturday is the sabbath or Sunday is the sabbath? The calendar has been changed so many times. Jewish calendar is different from the Julian calendar. Lots of ideas and words were mis-translated. The sabbath is nothing but religious hooey gooey.

Answer 7

YES, The change to sunday is a man-made tradition. Jesus kept the 7th day sabbath because he was a Jew, but he says to each one of us to "follow me", do as I do, do as I say, follow my example.

Worship on sunday came during the 4th cnetury after Constantine was "converted". The whole idea was for the church worship on sunday for a short time to make new converts from paganism which was the only religious belief that whorshiped on sunday during that time. Well, the Catholic Church never returned to the true sabbath after they gained the converts that they wanted. The Catholic church takes full credit for the change, and almost every other denomination accepts this tradition.

"Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ." (Col 2:8)
"And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition." (Mar 7:9)

Answer 8

Saturday, is still the Sabbath day, that never changed. Jesus spoke in the temple on the Sabbath and met with his followers on Sunday, known as the Lords day. He also rose on Sunday and a new Sabbath was born , always to be remembered in reverence to our Lord.

Answer 9

I'm not sure if your asking about the "remember the sabbath day and keep it holy"?

It that's your question, i'm under the impression that christians celebrate the sabbath by going to church on sunday. but, i'm really no expert on this so i'm guessing the next answer is more thorough

Answer 10
