No other day can be the sabbath because no other day was blessed and sanctified by God as was the sabbath, and it was made for everyone not only the Jews because God gave it to Adam and Eve long before there was any Jew or for that sake anybody else on earth. Read Exodus 20, James 2:10 and James 14:15

Well if you believe the bible then you may well interpret it that way. I don't believe it, and so for me the 'sabbath' whether it is Saturday or Sunday is just like any other day.

Does it really matter what the day is? You are missing the point of the sabbath. If you have to argue over what is the sabbath exactly you are becoming just like the Pharisees in Jesus' time. Tell me this, where in the Bible does it say that God gave the sabbath to Adam and Eve? It is just your opinion. Why do we have church on Sundays, why not Saturdays? Why do the Jews start Sabbath on Friday at sundown, and not on Saturday at 12:00 AM. Read James 2:13 and there is no James 14:15. What Bible are you reading from?

The biblical command to the Hebrews to keep the Sabbath is one of the ten commandments. Historically, keeping the Sabbath is considered the single most important obligation of a religious Jew. The religions that grew out of Judaism, Christianity and Islam, each kept the idea of the Sabbath, although Christiantiy's version is closer to the original Jewish version in that it demanded a cessation of work on that day, while in Islam the Sabbath is mainly a day for special prayers. Interestingly, most (although not all) Christian religions over time adopted Sunday as the Sabbath, rather than the original Jewish day of Saturday. While Islam adopted Friday as the Sabbath day. The reasons for these choices are a matter of discussion, and can be researched on the web if anyone is interested.

The Sabbath is a day of rest which is Saturday.Sunday is the Lord's Day.
In Matthew 18:18, Jesus Christ gave the other Apostles the power of binding and loosening, but He did not give them the keys.
The Apostles did this as shown very plainly in Scripture in Acts 20:7,
"And on the FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK, WHEN WE HAD MET FOR THE BREAKING OF THE BREAD, Paul addressed them..."
Right here is the beginning of Sunday worship.
Lord's day, Sunday, is Biblical, I offer the following:
Biblical references to happenings on Sunday, the first day of the week...
1. Jesus Christ rose from the dead on Sunday, Lk 24:1-12
2. Christ appeared to the disciples on the road to Emmaus, and celebrated the Eucharist on Sunday, Lk 24:13
3. Jesus appeared to the disciples behind closed doors, Jn 20:19
4. Jesus appeared to the disciples with Thomas one week later, Jn 20:26 NAB
5. Jesus opened the minds of the Apostles to the Scriptures, Lk 24:45
6. The Apostles received their 'Great Commission' to go and teach all nations, Mt 28:1-20.
7. The Apostles were given the Holy Spirit and the power to forgive sins, Jn 20:19-23.
8. Jesus told the Apostles to wait in the city until they were to be clothed with power from on high, Lk 24:49.
9. On the seventh Sunday after the resurrection, the Holy Spirit descended upon the Apostles,
Acts 2:1-4.
10. Immediately after receiving the Holy Spirit, Peter gave a powerful address on the Gospel resulting in 3000 conversions, Acts 2:41.
11. The Apostles met for the Holy Eucharist on the 'first' day, Acts 20:7.
12. The Apostles set the 'first' day of the week for the Churches to take up the collections,
1Cor 16:1-2.
Might I also add that being a Catholic I celebrate the Lord's Day everyday.

Are all the days the same to God is the question now because as mature members of the Body of Christ we are with him and we are one with him. Not to say that all days now are not holy but on the contrary ALL days are the Sabbath. I go to Mass as much as I can, not only on Sundays and I feel bad that I can't attend say like on a Tuesday but, I especially attend on Sunday because the young ones do not know yet that all the days are holy and to sit out Mass on Sunday is a sin (this is so that they go to Mass at least once during the week because left up to themselves they wouldn't go at all)So yes, Sundays are important but, so are all of the days. People really have a problem with the understanding of being a member of The Body of Christ. All the way around. We are the body because we are the bride.

The Sabbath is Saturday, both for the Nation of Isreal and the Gentiles. Understand that the Jews are decendants of the tribe of Judah, which is only one of the 12 tribes of Isreal.

The Sabbath was blessed as the day of rest. No other day is like it. The Sabbath is Saturday and not Sunday. I agree.

I used to think this way until I went to war and found that the enemy used holy days to attack us. Also, Jesus says that the seventh day of rest was for our benefit, not Gods, so if we cannot always follow tradition not to stress about it. Get it? The new Covenant is for our benefit too. Better we rely on it than follow traditions that were made as punishments, don't you think?

As far as I'm aware of, the sun rises in the east and sets in the west on Sundays just like the other six days.

Uh, yeah.
Your imaginary friend's blessing doesn't change that.
I bet I know the Bible better than you, hotshot, and I'm atheist--can you tell me how many sons Absalom had?
