The Sabbath day will ALWAYS be the 7th day. There is no changing that fact.. Sunday is called the Lord's day. It is NOT the Sabbath. I find Sunday is always a lot of work myself. Preparing the devotional, setting up, then after the devotional in over tearing it all back down and hauling it back.. Saturday is more of a day of rest.. It should be IT'S THE SABBATH! Jim

Jesus told us that we can worship anywhere, Paul told us that we can worship at any time.

Jesus said anywhere:
21 Jesus declared, "Believe me, woman, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. 22 You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews. 23 Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. 24 God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth."

Here is what Paul said:
Colossians 2
16 Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. 17 These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ.

So I find the debate Satanically inspired. It makes sense that God doesn't care when or where, He is to be worshiped anytime, and any where. Wouldn't that be just like Him?

So we have this debate that deters from the truth, and even causes division, when it never was meant to, not by God anyway. The Sabbath is the life of Faith, it was fulfilled in Christ! Yet people want to go on and on about which day when God says that it does NOT matter when! Stop fighting about NOTHING!

Did not Jesus heal on the Sabbath? Did he stop what He was doing on that day, and did he not say, "My Father is always working." Who told us to defy Jesus and an Apostle? Who gave someone authority over them?

Those that dispute with what God said are as the Pharisees. They complain about those who pick another day God is to be worshiped. When the Bible says:
Colossians 2
16 Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day.

I will lean upon the Bible. Anyone can lean on their own understanding. Tradition makes the argument for them, but the Bible speaks for me.

They worshiped on the first day, The Lords Day, in the New Testament.

There is not any where in the Bible that says this is to take place of the Sabbath.

This was the catholic churches doing. They were sun worshipers and worshiped on SUNday.

It does not matter if we worship God any day of the week. But this does not take away from the Sabbath. God commanded it to be the 7th day, a day we set aside for rest. He never changed it. It was an everlasting covenant between God and his children forever.

Exodus 31:15&16
15Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.
16Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.

Leviticus 23:3
Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath of the LORD in all your dwellings.

seven day Adventist strongly ague this point often. In accordance of different types of time calenders measuring hours and days it has been shown that Saturday was the end of the week and not Sundays. HOwever, it does not state in the bible that you must clearly observe sabbath on Sat verses Sunday. The point is to observe and retain a day of sabbath

It doesn't. The Sabbath was changed from Saturday to Sunday in honor of the Resurrection.

There really is no proof on what God's Sabbath day is. All it says is that God rested on the seventh day after seeing that all He had created "was good" (Genesis 2:2). Jews have their Sabbath day on the seventh day -- Saturday on our calendar. I think the main reason that Christians hold their Sabbath day on Sundays is because it commemorates the day the Jesus was resurrected from the dead.

A) Requiring that God specifically mention something in Scripture will inevitably bring you into the Amish-Mennonite orbit.

B) It was decided by the earliest Christians that celebrating the Sabbath on the day that Christ rose from the dead would do the following: 1) commemorate the pivotal point of the faith and 2) provide a different outlook from traditional Judaism, thus differentiating the Christian Jews from the Mosaic Jews.
They understood they could do this because Peter had the keys of the kingdom and if he said it was kosher, then God would agree and it would be kosher. (See Matthew 16: 17-19)

1 Corinthians 16: 2 - Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come.

When Jesus arose from the grave, that was on a Sunday and that is when the Lords day became what it is. We still have the Sabbath but nobody really goes by that, because on the Sabbath NOTHING is to be done, no cooking, no cleaning, no traveling, no TV, movies, absolutely NOTHING form sunset to sunset.

We are living in the dispensation of grace, not by works.

"Some non-Catholics object to Purgatory because there is no specific mention of it in Scripture. There is no specific mention of the word Sunday in Scripture [either]. The Sabbath is mentioned, but Sabbath means [a keeping of] Saturday. Yet the Christians of almost all denominations worship on Sunday not on Saturday. The Jews observe Saturday. Nowhere in the Bible is it stated that worship should be changed from Saturday to Sunday."

The answer saying Jesus in now our sabbath rest is correct. Christians worship on Sundays because it is the beginning of the new week and it is considered as a "First Fruit Offering." We believe in giving God the first of everything...including our week. Just as we believe that when we give the first 10th of our income the rest will be blessed...so do we believe if we give the first of our week, the rest will be blessed. It's always good to get off to a good start! Read Hebrews Chpt. 4 if you really want to understand the rest that God offers His people.
