Jesus never said to keep Sunday instead of Saturday sabbath,is that tradition of men?

Answer 1

That's because Sunday is the day that Jesus rose from the grave after he was crucified. Yes, it did change from Saturday, but only after this event. It is also the day in which we are asked to tithe, which is the first day of the week Sunday. So, now we worship on Sunday.

Answer 2

Yes. All traditions are traditions of men. When Jesus criticized the 'traditions of men,' he was proving a point about mercy in relation to Law, not condemning human traditions. If we accept that Jesus was condemning the traditions of men, then we have to accept that he was advocating the murder of rebellious children. On the contrary, Jesus praised the Pharisees for their extra-Biblical traditions.

As for the Sabbath, traditional Christian denominations like the Eastern Orthodox Church, Monophysites and Nestorians still observe Saturday as the Sabbath, and still perform a rite similar to the ancient Jewish Sabbath service. Worship on Sunday was an addition to the Christian observances, and not a replacement for the Saturday Sabbath.

Answer 3

Well, see, the thing is, Saturday and Sunday, the names of the days of the week and the order they come in are all relative. Many calenders and cultures, and yes, even some contemporary modern, European (Germany's calander, for instance) does not hold the American standard for the order of days. Sunday for them IS the last day of the week, so in the end, really it's all a matter of how we as a people align our days.

I'm fairly certain, however, that Sunday is indeed the correct day if only by name, for the Sabbath to occur - Holidays like Passover are traditionally celebrated on the somethingth someday of somemonth, not a specific numeric date of a month, or in this instance, not the specific number of days set in a weekly order.

Answer 4

Jesus was an Orthodox Jew ,born one ,lived as one and died as one.He would never advocate breaking the Jewish Law.The Sabbath was for the Jew just as much as the Kosher laws were.We worship on Sunday because that's the day He rose from the dead.Collosians 2 says don't judge a man on the day he worships etc.Paul said give an offering the first(Sunday) day of the week.He preached in Ephesus ,the first day of the week(when Eutycus fell from the 3rd story)
Give it up .We are NOT under the Law but under GRACE.

Answer 5

In Jesus time Saturday was the sabbath. My feeling is that as long as you go to church, whichever day it is, you are remembering the sabbath. I don't think it has anything to do with working on Sunday, etc. Although I think we would be better off if everything was closed on Sunday and people spent time with their families.

Answer 6

Holy cow Carmas how do you write so much so quickly?
The traditions of men are things like not doing anything on the sabbath because It is against the law even when it means doing good. God meant the sabbath to remember Him for creation and resurrection and doing good.

Answer 7

Yeah, pretty much. The whole point of the Sabbath anyway is not to work yourself to death and at least take one day to sit on your a** and do nothing. It doesn't matter if that day is Wednesday or Sunday. It's just practical advice.

Answer 8

Sounds like a Seventh Day Adventist here!

Dude - check out Romans 14:5-8

I think I will start the Tuesday Church!!

Answer 9

Jesus honored the Jewish Sabbath, as He honored their other traditions, as well.
He was kosher; He observed Sabbath, & he studied Torah.

Answer 10

No.

But ignoring the God-given authority of the only church Jesus ever founded and looking to a book for these types of things certainly is.
