Why do people go to church on Sundays, the bible says the Sabbath is after Good Friday & before Easter Sunday?

Answer 1

Why do most people go to church on Sunday? There are about 12 reasons but they are NOT supported by the Bible.

I will explain each of the 12 reasons below it may be a little long, but it will cover all the reasons.

1.The early church changed
NO WHERE in the Bible does the early church say “The new day of worship is Sunday” There is NO verse in the Bible to support this.

The early church kept the Sabbath
The apostles kept the Sabbath
Acts 13:14
Acts 13:42
Acts 13:44
Acts 16:13
Acts 17:2
Acts 18:4

the Gentiles went to Church on Sabbath
Acts 13:42
Acts 17:1-4
Acts 18


2.Sunday is the new Sabbath because of the resurrection, or petecost etc
Ok and where does the Bible say worship on Sunday because of any of these events? NO WHERE
No verse in the Bible says worship on Sunday due to the Resurrection. God said that Baptism is symbol of the death and resurrection of Christ
Colossians 2:12
Romans 6:3-4
Galatians 3:27


3.Jesus fulfilled the law so the Sabbath is gone
Matt 5:17
"Do NOT THINK that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I HAVE NOT come to abolish them but to fulfill them.

does fulfill mean do away with or end

"Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to do away with them.
Isn’t that the contradictory?


4.We can’t tell which day
So, ENTIRE Jewish Nation all over the ENTIRE world woke up one morning and EVERY one of them forgot which day was the Sabbath?
That is not logical

The change of the calendar had no effect on the weekly cycle
The US Naval Observatory and the Royal Observatory both confirm the 7th day Sabbath(Saturday) is the SAME Sabbath that Jesus kept.

Mark 16 says that Jesus rose the day after the Sabbath. We all know Jesus rose on Sunday... so what day is the Sabbath?
Some people say “God didn’t name the days Sunday, Monday, Tuesday etc so we don’t have to keep it.”
Essentially what these people are saying is because we speak a different language from the Jews we don’t have to do what God says


5.It does not matter which day WE choose
God did not say "Pick a day to worship" He said "THE" 7th day is "THE" Sabbath. The word "THE" means a specific item.

The first person to say "It doesn't matter how we worship God" is Cain. Cain said "It doesn't matter how we worship God as long as we give something God will accept it. God does not care as long as you give and call it holy. Don't be legalistic Abel."
Was he right?
Is God specific about what He says.


6.It was only for the Jews, or The Jewish Sabbath is Saturday and the Christian Sabbath is Sunday
The Sabbath was given to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden 1000 yrs before the first JEW was born Genesis 2:1-3 if they were Jews we all are Jews and STILL need to keep the Sabbath

There is NO SUCH THING as "The Jewish Sabbath and the Christian Sabbath". There is ONLY ONE Sabbath day regardless of religion, race, nationality or language. The 7th day Sabbath does not belong to the Jews it belongs to God, "I am Lord of the Sabbath" Jesus said. In addition "The seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord" Exodus 20:8-11


7.Sunday has always been the Sabbath
This contradicts the Mark 16 which says Jesus rose the day after the Sabbath on the first day of the week.


8.we are under the new covenant
Hebrews 8:7-12 says
For if there had been nothing wrong with that first covenant, no place would have been sought for another.(What was the problem?) But God found fault with the PEOPLE and said "The time is coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a nEW COVENANT with the house of ISRAEL and with the house of Judah. It will not be like the covenant I made with their forefathers when I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt (Why?), because THEY DID NOT REMAIN FAITHFUL TO MY COVENANT, and I turned away from them, declares the Lord. This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after that time, declares the Lord. I will put my laws in their minds and write them on their hearts.

The Old Covenant- the people failed to keep their part “They said we will do it” Exodus 19:8 and they failed

The problem with the Old covenant was the people failed to keep it. There was nothing wrong with the law.

The Old Covenant was based on the people, God says “If you will...then I will” Exodus 19:5

The New Covenant is based on God, God says “I will and I will”

Where does God say that He is changing some of the laws? Where does God say that He is doing away with the Sabbath?

The New covenant, same law


9.Jesus broke the Sabbath
If Jesus broke the Sabbath then how can he say “I have kept my Fathers commandments John 15:10


10.We worship on the lord’s day … Sunday
Again, NOT ONE verse to support this claim, nor is there any verse in the Bible calling Sunday the Lord's Day. the only days called the Lord's day is the Sabbath(Saturday) and the day of Christ’s 2nd coming
Exodus 20:8
Isa 58:13,14
Matthew 12:8
Mark 2:28
Luke 6:5
Provide ONE verse that calls Sunday the Lord's Day


11.We don’t have to keep the Old law anymore we are under the spirit of the Law Love God and your neighbor
A) Is it ok to murder people? Is it ok to commit adultery? Or steal or worship other gods or be disrespectful to your parents? Then why are we getting rid of the only commandment that starts with “Remember”?

B)Does the Spirit of the Law void the Letter?
Spirit- don’t hate your brother
Letter- don’t murder

Spirit- don’t lust
Letter- don’t commit adultery

Spirit- Let you yes be yes and no be no
Letter- Don’t bare false witness

How can you keep the spirit and break the letter?

C) Jesus is quoting the “Old” Law when he says love God and your neighbor
Love God – Deut 6:5
Love your neighbor Lev 19:18

D) Mosaic law was done away with but the Mosaic law is different from the 10 commandments. The 10 commandments are eternal written in fire with the finger of God, Mosaic is temporary written by Moses.

12.We worship God everyday
This is a last ditched effort when people realize they have no Biblical basis to support violating God’s command by ignoring the Sabbath and worshiping on Sunday. It is a way to sound holier than thou willfully disobeying God

The disciples worshiped God everyday and they ALL kept the Sabbath.

Revelation 14 says that 3 messages go out to the world right before the end comes. The first message says worship the creator and then it quotes the 4th commandment.

God is calling his people to return to the commandments and worship Him as He has described. He wants His people to leave man made traditions and come back to His word.

Answer 2

The sabath is the seventh day of the week, saturday, every week. It is not just an easter thing. The Sunday service comes from early Christianity. It was an attempt to distance Christian ideology from Judaism. It is based on the teaching that Jesus rose from the dead on the "third day". This is, of course counting Friday as the first day, Saturday as the second, and there you have it, Sunday.
There are still people who attend service on the sabbath, the day that God rested after creation.

Answer 3

As a former Seventh-Day Adventists I can say I still agree that the Saturday is indeed the Sabbath, especially because of the whole Jewish thing and Jesus being Jew.

Lots of neighboring or what you would call pagan religions held the first day of the week (Sunday) as the Sabbath. Something to do with the sun or sun worship. The first church 'Christianized' it like they did the solstice celebrations of Christmas.

Answer 4

Yeah, that's true. The Bible says that the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord; that is, Saturday. Furthermore, God blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it. He did this when he rested on the seventh day, BEFORE he mandated officially that all humans rest on the seventh day as well. It wouldn't make sense for God to un-hallow the Sabbath day, because God never changes his mind and he would not have a reason to do so. People ignore it even though it's in the Ten Commandments.
Aside from that, if Sunday is the new Sabbath, as many Sunday worshippers claim, then many of them would be violating it all the same. The Bible says that the Sabbath is a day of rest and worship only. Isaiah 58 reads: "If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words:
Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it."
The Bible clearly states that the Sabbath gives no room for personal activities for our own enjoyment. We cannot watch a movie or play golf, and yet some (not all) Sunday-worshippers violate this law.

We can blame this on the Constantine the Great. Though he is famous for being the first "Christian" Roman Emperor, what many don't know is that he compromised Christianity in Rome before it was made legal. Though Christians woshipped on the Sabbath, there were also the pagans, such as the practitioners of Mithraism, who worshipped the sun on the first day of the week (hence "Sunday"). Therefore, to make Christianity palatable to others, Constantine mandated that Christians could only worship on Sunday. He, in effect, changed the Sabbath to Sunday in the 300s A.D. That's why this myth of Sunday falling on the first day of the week has persisted even to this day, and it's also why it takes work to dispel.

Answer 5

What makes you think the Sabbath is meant for going to Church? You might take the time to read up on what the ancient Jews were suppose to do on the Sabbath. Since parents taught their children the Bible, there was no reason to go anywhere on the Sabbath. It was a day of rest, from sunset on our Friday to Sunset on our Saturday.

As for Easter, that is based on a Pagan Holiday, not on the observance of the Memorial of the Last Supper, which Christ said we are to observe, but only one religion does. It falls on Niacin 14, at sunset of the first full moon after the Vernal Equinox. It nearly never falls on Easter.

Answer 6

Bravo Billy you're so properly suited! yet, it fairly is not the 'Christians' that have self belief and coach that Yeshua died on a Friday and rose on a Sunday, however the Roman Catholic church that may not the comparable element. it is significant additionally to word that Yeshua that the Roman church teaches of isn't the Yeshua of Scripture. because of the fact the RCC teaches that Yeshua did not stay interior the tomb for 3 complete days and 3 complete nights. yet, the only information that Yeshua stated He could provide that He exchange into the awaited Messiah exchange into that of the prophet Jonah (Matthew 12:39). Jonah exchange into interior the tummy of the vast fish for 3 complete nights and 3 complete days - Friday night to in the previous the solar rose on Sunday isn't 3 complete days and nights. because of the fact the living God's days initiate with the night and we can see by using Scripture that Yeshua exchange into removed from the stake/bypass in the previous the beginning up of the Sabbath (as you observed on your question) making it 3 complete days and 3 complete nights that the Messiah exchange into entombed. Wed night - Thur night - day a million Thur night - Fri night - day 2 Fri night - Sat night - day 3 - rose on the top of the seventh day Sabbath proving that Yeshua exchange into relatively the "grasp of the Sabbath" (Matthew 12:8; Mark 2:28; Luke 6:5). 3 complete days and 3 complete nights. stay Blessed:-)

Answer 7

The Catholic Church follows the teaching and practice of the Apostles. In the 20th chapter of the Act of the Apostles, the church in Troas gathered on the first day of the week, Sunday.

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. See Acts 20:7.

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 8

Sunday is the "first of the week".
If the first holy, the week holy, including the Sabbath.
That's why JC did the will of God before the cross.
(pst-will of God is: I will have mercy, not sacrifice)
http://www.godshew.org/HumanRace.htm
For doing the will of God precedes receive the promise.
Repeat: do the will of God precedes receive the promise.
That's why JC notably repeated Hosea 6:6 in Matthew 9:13.

Easter at crucifixion week (Passover) had two Sabbaths.
One was called "high" the other one called a "higher" one.
Not to mention seven last utterances has forsake in midst.
Not to mention resurrection appearances can be deceiving,
Especially if fore-warned: false Christs & Prophets shall rise.

Answer 9

Jesus broke the sabbath: Matthew 12:10-12: And behold there was a man which had his hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawfuld to heal on the sabbath? that they might accuse him. 11 And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sbbath day, will he not lay hold on it and lift it out? 12 How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days.

Answer 10

people go to church on Sunday because of Easter
