Are people so convinced Sunday is the holy day? This is blasphemy. One big trick.

To answer your question quickly, the "tradition" started when the early Christians worshiped on Sunday to hide from the Roman rulers. An early pope (maybe the first pope) set it up as the Catholic tradition. Of course, back then only the educated could read the bible (written in Latin), and the Catholic church leaders set many false teachings (besides church on Sundays).
The way I see it, it's not wrong to worship on any day of the week (in fact it is good to worship every day), but the ten commandments do say to keep the Sabbath holy (and to rest). The Sabbath is Saturday.

You are right about the Sabbath, and there are churches that worship on Saturday. One is Seventh-day Adventist. And more and more people are finding the truth. Sabbath is not just for Jews. It is #4 in the 10 commandments. And the only one the starts out Remember. And another lie is that the commandments were done away/ nailed to the cross, not until earth and heaven have passed away.
I think blasphemy is wearing/ claiming His name and not obeying His laws.

Isn't religion in general one big trick?
Honestly, does it matter which day is set aside for worship? If you truly believe, you should be a living testament every day; which day you go to church shouldn't make a whit of difference.
By the way, the Ten Commandments (to the best of my knowledge) say keep holy the Sabbath Day. According to wikipedia:
Originally denoting Saturday, the seventh day of the week, or, more precisely, the time period from Friday sunset to Saturday sunset, the term "sabbath" can now mean one of several things, depending on the context and the speaker:
* Saturday, as originally, in reference to Jewish or historical observance;
* Saturday, the day that Jesus and his disciples observed;
* Saturday, as above, as a day of observance for some Christian groups;
* Sunday, as the day of observance for Roman Catholics and other Christian groups;
* Saturday and Sunday as a day of relaxing;
* Any day or time period for relaxing and enjoying God.[2]

Wow, I am a Christian and we were raised to whorship on Sunday but I don't believe this to be correct. I know that in biblical times the Sabath day was Saturday not Sunday. The Pagans whorshiped the Sun on Sunday and it got carried over to Eastern Christianity. Sad because we really should rest on Saturday not Sunday. So many things have gotten mixed up.

Jews worship on Saturday. If Sunday is the 1st day (which it is in our calendar), then yes, they should worship on Saturday, it would make sense. Why on Sunday? Because some dumb person decided that Sunday was the 7th day, when it isn't. Or they never looked at what day God rested on, so they just randomly picked a day.

It is not blasphemy at all. It is also not a trick.
If you are a Christian, you might recall Jesus Christ saying that he would "destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days." Of course, what he meant was the New Word of God.
When Christ died on a Friday, three days later he arose to Heaven (on a Sunday). This is what he meant by his statement.
So the tradition (the Sabbath) was changed by Christians to glorify the day that Christ returned to Heaven to sit at the seat to the right hand of the Father.
To close, the Ten Commandments do not say that Saturday is the last day of the week. They say to "keep the Sabbath holy." Also, everyone knows that Saturday is the last day of the week. It is not blasphemy to keep the Sabbath on the first day of the week. (Do not confuse the Lord's day of rest - the first Sabbath - with the New Word of Jesus Christ. Everything, for Christians, changed with him.)

The ten commandments were originally for Judaism in which the day for worship is in fact Saturday (the Sabbath).

it's just tradition.
actually the bible never really says that the day of rest fell on a "Sunday"..it's just that God took a "day off" on the seventh day.
so you can basically assume that you must take every seventh day off...if you are a christian...it doesn't mean though that you have to take it on a Sunday....
PS: In ancient times Judeo-Christians celebrated Sabbath on Saturdays (day of Sabbath)...to differentiate between the Jewish day of rest...I was told by a few respected Biblical scholars that the day of rest fell on Sunday.
It's not really a trick...it's just the way it fell into place really...
Hope this helps.

Blasphemy is defined as declaring one's self God when they are not. It isn't a big trick either. It is simply a day observed to worship God. And Judeism observes it on Saturday according to their calendar. And remember, they have a different calendar than us.

In the Bible, when God created the Earth, he worked on the first 6 days, then rested on the 7th. This was then the "Sabbath", where people rest to acknowledge God's actions and worship.
Sorry if you're not Christian.
