Is Worshipping on Sunday, (The Day of the Sun) an endorsed Biblical teaching or a mere tradition of men!?

Question

Is Sunday worship really Sun-god worship?!? does it matter what day you attend church?!? is the Seventh day/ Saturday the true sabbath of the lord our God?!? Was the sabbath done away with at the cross?!? Did Jesus and the apostles keep the Seventh-Day Sabbath day before, during, and after Christ's resurrection?!? Is the sabbath just for the Jews or Is it a rest for all humanity?!? Did our all-knowing God make a mistake when He called his commandments the Ten Commandments instead of the nine or eight commandments?!? Did the anti-Christ according to Daniel 7:25 really think to change times and laws (Gods Commandments)?!? Does the Commandments of god equal love?!? Does it really matter?!?

Answer 1

The Sabbath is actually Saturday, since Sunday begins the week. In modern times however, man has changed the Sabbath to sunday. In some cultures Friday is considered the sabbath.
Can't help you with the sun-god thing, I don't know much about paganism. Sorry!

Answer 2

In the New Testament, nine of the Ten Commandments were repeated (Mark 10:19, Luke 18:20, Rom. 13:9). The only commandment not repeated was to "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy" (Ex. 20:8).

The early Christians met on the first day of the week (Matt. 28:1, Mark 16:2,9, Luke 24:1, John 20:1, 19, Acts 20:7, I Cor. 16:2) probably because,
1) Sunday was the day of the Lord's resurrection,
2) the six post resurrection appearances were on Sunday, and
3) the Holy Spirit came on Sunday.

Rev. 1:10 called Sunday the Lord's Day. And, in scripture, the number eight is always used to mean "new beginning," i.e. -- eight people on the Ark, etc.

But more than anything, it's not what day you choose to rest that concerns God, it's why you do it in the first place (I Sam. 16:7).

Answer 3

Jesus rose from the dead on the first day of the week (Sunday). (Mark 16:1-2)

The church was established on the day of Pentecost (Acts 2). Pentecost was always on the first day of the week.

The first day of the week was the day the disciples met together to observe the Lord's Supper. (Acts 20:7)

The first day of the week is the day the early Christians were to take up a collection. (1 Corinthians 16:1-2)

As for the 10 Commandments, that was part of the Law of Moses given to the Isrealites. I am not an Isrealite, and we are currently subject to the law of Christ (2 John 9, Gal. 6:2), the New Testament (Hebrews 9).

The old law was "nailed to the cross" with Christ. This being the case, no one can now judge us based on keeping the Sabbath days (Colossians 2:14-16).

The other 9 commandments are repeated in the New Testament, therefore we are still subject to them.

When we meet on Sunday, the first day of the week, we are following New Testament examples and commands.

Answer 4

The Church Jesus founded is the only governing authority for these new covenant times.

The old law ... all of it ... passed away after it was perfectly fulfilled by Christ.

We worship on Sundays because it has been the designated official day of Christian worship since the earliest days of the Church. Jesus chose Sunday as resurrection day. We celebrate Sunday as the high holy day of the Christian Church in his honor, and for no other reason at all.

And since the old law has been fulfilled and set aside, there is no longer any purpose to a Saturday sabbath ... even for the Jews.

Anti-christ accomplishes his work by stealth and deception, in opposition to God, and lacking any authority from God to do so.

Never confuse that with the Church that Jesus founded, authorized, empowered, and eternally guaranteed, and of which he alone remains the head.

Answer 5

Sabbath = rest....but did God Almighty truly need to REST? No...Sabbath actually means to cease. God ceased from all work on the 7th day. For the Jews, the Sabbath was on a Saturday. There is NO Old Testament mandate/command to worship God at all. To keep the Sabbath holy is to do just that...keep it holy by ceasing most work (feeding cattle was allowed as were other things as such).

However, since the Jews did refrain from most types of work on the Sabbath, they found that they had time to gather to worship and so they did.

Sunday in Christianity is known as the Lord's Day....that is, the day Jesus rose from the dead. Since there is a biblical mandate to render the first fruits to God, then Christians decided that Sunday -- the first day of the week -- would belong to God and the worship of him.

Early Christians observed both for many years until persecutions started and it became difficult to go out to worship twice. Christians would worship in the synagogue on Saturday morning and then would gather to break bread on Saturday evening -- after sunset when it was no longer the Sabbath but the beginning of the first day of the week.

7"On the first day of the week we came together to break bread. Paul spoke to the people and, because he intended to leave the next day, kept on talking until midnight. 8There were many lamps in the upstairs room where we were meeting Acts 20:7-8).

Also, to make certain that Christians stayed out of synagogues, they (the Jewish leaders at the council of Jamnia in approx. AD 90....some 20 years after the destruction of the Temple) added one more "benediction" (actually, malediction) to the Amidah which is said at every Jewish liturgy...it is a prayer against heretics...not just Christians but all heretics: "May no hope be left to the slanderers (heretics/sectarians); but may wickedness perish as in a moment; may all Thine enemies be soon cut off, and do Thou speedily uproot the haughty and shatter and humble them speedily in our days. Blessed be Thou, O Lord, who strikest down enemies and humblest the haughty".

Christians were viewed as such because they worshipped a "mere mortal", Jesus Christ. No Christian, therefore would ever utter a prayer against him/herself and so they left the synagogues. However, since the Jewish Liturgy is basically all they knew for worship, the brought with them a very large component of it and then Christianized it. Most would not recognize the Christianized form of the Jewish liturgy unless s/he prays the Divine Office (Morning Prayer/Evening Prayer) on a daily basis as do monks, nuns, priests and some members of the laity. These prayers are also called Lauds and Vespers, respectively.

Answer 6

Whatever the day is called, our "Sunday" is considered the first day of the week.

According to the concepts of "First Fruits", the first day of the week belongs to God, so that is when Worship Services are generally scheduled. The concept also generally applies to your offerings and tithes. You pick the First Fruits and give them back to God, whether these fruits are from your garden, your flocks, or your paychecks.

In old Jewish law, the Sabbath was simply the day of rest. After God's work, he rested, thus establishing the pattern of six days of work, and one of rest.

Answer 7

Worshiping on Sunday started with Jesus' resurrection on the first day of the week. It has nothing to do with the Pagan sun gods.

Answer 8

Col 2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath [days]:
Col 2:17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body [is] of Christ

Answer 9

WE do it because the first Christians did it. They came together on the first day of the week (Sunday), so we (the church today) do the same.

And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight. Acts 20:7

If you want to follow the OT law and ordinances; you'd better follow ALL of it.

Answer 10

WHAT???...so many questions.

The sabbath is Saturday..on the 7th he rested. The 7th day is Saturday, not Sunday. Sunday is the 1st day of the week.

and that's just too many questions for one post.
