what day of the week is the true sabbath day that the ten commandments says to keep?

Question

b/c i've always heard it was sunday, but an interesting website said that was what rome or somethin like that told ppl who were christians that the sabbath day was sunday, thus that was the ''mark'' of the beast/man, and still is, the website also said the true sabbath day was the 7th day so if anybody knows what the true sabbath day is that the ten commandments speaks of, the PLEASE tell me!! also exodus 20:8 says:Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: p.s. i can give u the name of the website but it deals with the book of revelation, but still mentions the sabbath day (but doesn't say WHICH day it is, also it gives VERY interesting points as to why were in the last days literally and that about 50% of the

of the book of revelation is finished (if not more) also here is the website: http://present-truth.org/Remnant-Prophecy/revelation.htm note: it starts u out at the main page where it tells u what the book of revelation means from chapters 1-22.

Answer 1

Christians believe that Jesus fulfilled the Law of Moses. Therefore Christians are not held to the ceremonial parts of the Mosaic Law concerning of dietary purity and temple worship.

Christians are held to the moral law of God, some of which is expressed in the Ten Commandments.

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.

Christians believe that Jesus' Resurrection has changed the Lord's Day to Sunday.

This has been the practice ever since.

With love in Christ.

Answer 2

Sunday is the mark of the beast, friend. The Roman church made it their mark.

God's true day of worship is the sabbath day saturday. Look up in encyclopedia/dictionary for the meaning of sunday and saturday. Sunday is the first day of the week.

Its sad that most churches today follow this. Have a look at this.



:edit: If anybody tells you that the law was done away with, steer clear friend. The tabernacle that moses built remember, was modelled after the real tabernacle in Heaven, with real angels.

The earthly tabernacle had the manna (Bread of life) and the 10 commandments (which were written in stone btw and one of the only things God wrote with his own finger) In heaven we will be observing the 7th day. SO if these things are in the earthly temple, representing the heavenly temple, how much more so should we NOT disregard God's law, the 10 commandments. Please show me a Bible verse which says we don't follow the 10 commandments.

also just a final note, this is how Jesus described the people who will get to Heaven in the end.

Rev 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

Answer 3

I had heard, not very long ago...that the Sabbath is actually Saturday. A question I too often wondered about throughout my life. The seventh day of the week. It was changed by some emporer who wanted the power of some sort, for people to follow under him, in what day that everyone was to attend church. He chosed it to be Sunday. Sunday, we know, is the first day of the week. Confusing, isn't it? My apologies, that I can't be more informative than this. Blessings, ~~Mafi...ps: funny though, sunday sounds like a holy day. more than saturday does. strange. maybe that is what the "sat" means in saturday...to sit and do nothing? ;-)

Answer 4

Sunday, as a weekly holy day, comes from the Catholic Church. Though many lay Catholics speak of Sunday as "their sabbath", the leaders of the Catholic Church are careful never to make that association. In fact, the "Catechism of the Catholic Church" states:
"Sunday is expressly distinguished from the Sabbath which it follows chronologically every week".

Also, Catholic theologians acknowledge that the Bible in no way supports Sunday as a weekly holy day; the Catholic Virginian, has written:
"Nowhere in the Bible do we find that Jesus or the Apostles ordered that the Sabbath be changed from Saturday to Sunday. We have the Commandment of God given to Moses to keep holy the Sabbath day, that is, the seventh day of the week, Saturday. Today, most Christians keep Sunday because it has been revealed to us by the [Roman] Church OUTSIDE THE BIBLE."

Though Protestants claim to derive their doctines soly from the Bible, as you can see from the above, in the case of Sunday as a weekly holy day, that claim is flawed. Protestants get their Sunday doctrine from the Catholic Church. And, again, their lay people mistakenly call Sunday "their sabbath."

God's weekly Sabbath is from sunset on Friday to sunset on Saturday. The Bible expressly states, "...from evening to evening you shall observe your Sabbath" (Leviticus 23:32).

The Sabbath has been God's designated weekly holy day from the creation of Adam and Eve (Genesis 2:3), and it will be so until Christ returns (Matthew 24:20), and beyond.

Answer 5

The hebrew word sabbat = seventh, as in seventh day.
The Sabbath Day is the Lord's Day, a day of rest.
Back before Christ and throughout His life the sabbath was on Saturday.

Jesus Christ was crucified on a friday night, during the traditional Sabbath(totally against Jewish laws and customs but Christ enraged them so much that they didn't care and did it anyway but that's another topic), and he rose on the third day, which was Sunday. After His resurrection (witnessed by many) the Christians began to worship God on Sunday the Day the Lord was Resurrected.

That is when and how Sunday became the Sabbath.

Answer 6

In the Old Testament, God stated, "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 of the Lord your God; in it you shall not do any work, you or your son or your daughter your male or your female servant or your cattle or your sojourner who stays with you" (Exodus 20:8-10, NASB). It was the custom of the Jews to come together on the Sabbath, which is Saturday, cease work, and worship God. Jesus went to the synagogue on Saturday to teach (Matt. 12:9; John 18:20) as did the apostle Paul (Acts 17:2; 18:4). So, if in the Old Testament we are commanded to keep the Sabbath and in the New Testament we see Jews, Jesus, and the apostles doing the same thing, then why do we worship on Sunday?
First of all, of the 10 commandments listed in Exodus 20:1-17, only 9 of them were restated in the New Testament. (Six in Matt. 19:18, murder, adultery, stealing, false witness, honor parents, and worshiping God; Rom. 13:9, coveting. Worshiping God properly covers the first three commandments) The one that was not reaffirmed was the one about the Sabbath. Instead, Jesus said that He is the Lord of the Sabbath (Matt. 12:8).
In creation, God rested on the seventh day. But, since God is all powerful, He doesn’t get tired. He doesn’t need to take a break and rest. So, why did does it say that He rested? The reason is simple: Mark 2:27 says, "The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath." In other words, God established the Sabbath as a rest for His people, not because He needed a break, but because we are mortal and need a time of rest, of focus on God. In this, our spirits and bodies are both renewed.
The OT system of Law required keeping the Sabbath as part of the overall moral, legal, and sacrificial system by which the Jewish people satisfied God’s requirements for behavior, government, and forgiveness of sins. The Sabbath was part of the Law in that sense. In order to "remain" in favor with God, you had to also keep the Sabbath. If it was not kept, then the person was in sin and would often be punished (Ezek. 18:4; Rom. 6:23; Deut. 13:1-9; Num. 35:31; Lev. 20:2, etc.).
But with Jesus’ atonement, we no longer are required to keep the Law as a means for our justification. The requirements of the Law were fulfilled in Christ. We now have rest from the Law. We now have "Sabbath", continually.

Are we free to worship on Sunday?

Within the New Testament is ample evidence that the seventh day Sabbath is no longer a requirement.

Rom. 14:5-6: "One man regards one day above another, another regards every day alike. Let each man be fully convinced in his own mind. 6 He who observes the day, observes it for the Lord, and he who eats, does so for the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and he who eats not, for the Lord he does not eat, and gives thanks

Answer 7

Saturday is the correct day, the "seventh day" is what the bible states is the sabbath, nobody knows exactly how sunday ended up being renamed the sabbath, this change is not mentioned in the bible, it seems that christians wanted to distance themselves from the jews.

Answer 8

"'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 - 8 NKJV)

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.

As for the Lord's Day, It is interesting to see what the Bible says about the Lord's day.

"Eat the food you gathered yesterday. Today is a Sabbath, the Lord's day of rest;" (Exodus 16:23 NCV)

"This is what the Lord commanded, because tomorrow is the Sabbath, the Lord's holy day of rest." (Exodus 16:25 NCV)

"but the seventh day is a day of rest to honor the Lord your God." (Exodus 20:10 NCV)

"So the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath day" (Matthew 12:8 NCV)

"So then, the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath day." (Mark 2:28 NCV)

"Then Jesus said to the Pharisees, 'The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath day.'" (Luke 6:6 NCV)

Answer 9

Among many other things, Sunday was declared the Sabbath day by the catholics. Beware of things that come out of the vatican. Read the book of Revelations.

Answer 10

Christians today are not under the Mosiac Law which was given to the ancient Nation of Israel,in which the law of the Sabbath was included.
Ex.31:16,17;Rom.10:4;
Col.2:13-16.
The Sabbath fell from sundown what we call Friday until sundown what we call Saturday.
