if the sabbath is on saturday why do we go to church on sunday?

Answer 1

cause you get drunk on saturday

Answer 2

Sabbath is Saturday and always will be no matter what men do with the calendar. There is not a directive from God to keep Sunday Holy... If you do what the bible directs you keep Saturday the Sabbath Holy. If you do what is popular, or make your own religion, go when ever you want.

Answer 3

Because the sabbath is a day of rest.
If you start your car, you have already broken the law of the sabbath (kindling a fire).
If you stop for gas, bad...paying someone else to labor for you...even worse if you take the kiddies out for dinner after service.
OH, and if you hold services after sundown on Saturday, why
You ARE going to church on Sunday.

Answer 4

In the fourth century after Christ, the Roman emperor Constantine adopted Christianity as his religion. More properly, one might say that he "adapted" it, since the original Apostolic Christianity was dramatically transformed under his imperial influence.
Under Constantine’s direction, the Council of Nicaea was held in 325ad. Though he had not yet been baptized, Constantine presided over the council’s opening session and took part in its discussions, believing that it was his duty as emperor to oversee the establishment of doctrine for the church. But was Constantine presiding over the council as a former pagan now turned Christian, or did he use the Council of Nicaea to infuse his pagan background into what would become "official" Christianity? Respected historian Paul Johnson has observed the following regarding Constantine’s religious views:

"There is some doubt about the magnitude of Constantine’s change of ideas.… He himself appears to have been a sun-worshipper, one of a number of late-pagan cults which had observances in common with the Christians. Thus the followers of Isis adored a madonna nursing her holy child; the cult of Attis and Cybele celebrated a day of blood and fasting, followed by the Hilaria resurrection-feast, a day of joy, on 25 March; the elitist Mithraics, many of whom were senior army officers, ate a sacred meal. Constantine was almost certainly a Mithraic, and his triumphal arch, built after his ‘conversion,’ testifies to the Sun-god, or ‘unconquered sun.’ Many Christians did not make a clear distinction between this sun-cult and their own. They referred to Christ ‘driving his chariot across the sky,’ they held their services on Sunday, knelt towards the East and had their nativity-feast on 25 December, the birthday of the sun at the winter solstice. During the later pagan revival under the Emperor Julian many Christians found it easy to apostatize because of this confusion; the Bishop of Troy told Julian he had always prayed secretly to the sun. Constantine never abandoned sun-worship and kept the sun on his coins. He made Sunday into a day of rest.…" (A History of Christianity, Johnson, 1976, pp. 67–69).

If you read the above historical quotes carefully, you will understand that—during the appropriately named "Dark Ages"—nearly all the aspects of paganism were introduced into professing Christianity. False concepts of the "mystery of the mass," the worship of the Virgin Mary patterned directly after the worship of the pagan goddesses, the idea of a "little Lord Jesus" being born on December 25, calling it "Christmas" and connecting it with all the pagan rituals of the Saturnalia—all these false concepts and more were woven into what became "mainstream" Christianity.
Centuries later, the Protestant "reformers" were able to see a few of the problems of this Roman religion. But most of these pagan concepts were so thoroughly inculcated into their minds that the reformers made only a very few "surface" changes.

Answer 5

Because Sunday is the Lord's Day where we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus. Christians are no longer under Law but under Grace and while it is good to set aside a day devoted to God and to trusting in Him to meet our needs rather than working, the Sabbath was pointing to the rest that Christians would find in Jesus from trying to be justified before God by keeping the Law.

Colossians 2:13 And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, 14 by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross.

15 He disarmed the rulers and authorities and put them to open shame, by triumphing over them in him. 16 Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink, or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath. 17 These are a shadow of the things to come, but the substance belongs to Christ.

Answer 6

Because when setting the foundation for Christianity, early leaders wanted to make the conversion from Paganism to Christianity somewhat an easy transition and they pulled in a lot of Pegan ideas.

Answer 7

That is true, the sabbath is on Saturday but we worship God on Sunday because that was the day he arose from the dead and ascended into heaven. I truly believe that and will follow God til the end.

Answer 8

It all depends on how you define "the sabbath" and why/how you think you should keep it.

Just to add a little more fuel to the fire...
If you're a Muslim, the sabbath is:

FRIDAY!
.

Answer 9

How much nicer does Sunday sound to you. I remember when I was a little girl and going to church on Sunday and then going to the soda shoppe afterwards and eating a Sundae. Now how cool is that????

Answer 10

The Sabbath is on Sunday.

Answer 11

Because Christians pick and choose which Commandments they follow.

The Commandment is to 1) Remember the Sabbath, which they have failed to do and 2) to observe it, which they also fail at.

Christianity is a religion of hypocrisy and snake oil salesmen..
