What do you think about goin to church on Saturday?Which day is really the Sabbath?

Answer 1

i think the sabbath is saturday .. i also think it has absolutely nothing at all to do with when people go to church ... its a day of rest and fasting and not pursueing ur own pleasures ..

Answer 2

Sabbath is the 7th & a day of rest. And there are also other Holy Sabbaths. Like the 7 day Passover. And the 7 week Sabbath & then Penticost.

My Pastor has preached on entering in Gods Rest. Or Gods 7th. 7 is the number of receiving the victory, the blessing, the rest, the healing, the fulness, the completion. And also that Adam & Eve rested in the Lord the 7th Day. At least until the fall of man. Now Jesus restored our relationship with God. Now we can enter His Rest by abiding in Christ 24/7. That means that we have entered in His Rest. So? The Christian Sabbath is abiding in Christ 24/7.

I think it doesn't matter what day we go to Church. The bible writes that we don't forsake our assembly with the Saints, especially when we see the Day of the Lord nearing. As we can remember the Lord first think in the morning & in prayer in spirit & truth &follow after the spirit throughout the day.

Now there are some Sabbaths that are the first of the week. One is the day of Pentecost (50). This is the day following the 7 week sabbath (7X7=49). The Day the Spirit fell & people had an anointed flame above their heads & they praised God in tongues & they prophesied great wonders of God. Then there is the 8th day Sabbath, the day after the 7th day. And you can do a thorough study of these by studying Jewish Old Testament Holidays. http://www.elijahlist.com has a Jewish Calendar available for sale that explain the Jewish Holidays. And there are books out there on it also.


Also, I think what day you go to Church really depends on when the Lord directs you to go to Church. For me it is only once a week & on Sunday. For another it might be every Wednesday. For another it could be every Saturday. For another it could be 7 days a week. I believe we should go to the Church Services the Lord directs us to go to. One that is founded on the Rock, Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God.

Answer 3

The sabbath is Saturday but , all the ceremonial laws ended at the cross . Church was then on Sunday the day Christ arose, Acts 20:7

Answer 4

The Sabbath was given to Israel, not the church. The Sabbath is still Saturday, not Sunday, and has never been changed. But the Sabbath is part of the Old Testament Law, and Christians are free from the bondage of the Law (Galatians 4:1-26; Romans 6:14). Sabbath keeping is not required of the Christian—be it Saturday or Sunday. The first day of the week, Sunday, the Lord's Day (Revelation 1:10) celebrates the New Creation, with Christ as our resurrected Head. We are not obligated to follow the Mosaic Sabbath—resting, but are now free to follow the risen Christ—serving. The Apostle Paul said that each individual Christian should decide whether to observe a Sabbath rest, “One man considers one day more sacred than another; another man considers every day alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind” (Romans 14:5). We are to worship God every day, not just on Saturday or Sunday.

Answer 5

There is nothing wrong with going to Church on the Sabbath. As for what day is really the Sabbath, Saturday is the Sabbath.

But the question you might have wanted to ask is: is the Sabbath incumbent upon Christians? Or, do Christians have to keep the Sabbath?

The Bible never states that gentiles have to keep the Sabbath, and Acts 15, when stating the laws gentile Christians have to keep, never mentions the Sabbath. Saint Paul, when writing to the gentile Colossians, tells them to not let others judge them based on whether they keep the sabbath or new moon festivals (Colossians 2:16).

Just as the Jews have the Sabath, Christians have Kyriake (the Lord's Day). Kyriake is now the Greek word for Sunday, and it is even mentioned in Revelation 1:10. The Greek word for Lord is Kyrios, thus the Lord's Day (Sunday) was called Kyriake. Following a similar grammatical pattern, the Latin word for Lord is Dominus, and thus the Latin word for Sunday is Dominica (which gives us Domenica in Italian and Domingo in Spanish). The reason Sunday is called the Lord's Day by Christians is because it was the day Jesus rose from the dead. This is also why the apostles broke break and did collections on the first day of the week, i.e. Sunday (Acts 20:7, 1 Corinthians 16:2).

Hope this helps!

Answer 6

Saturday is the real Sabbath. This wasn't changed (officially) until the mid ages, by the Catholic Church, declaring it a "day of worship" instead of a "day of rest". This was a measure taken to unsure that the West could "one-up" the Jewish and Muslim religions in terms of getting things done on the weekend. Namely, matters of economics, leading to war. As a great historian once said: "There are three things you need to maintain a war: money, money, and more money."

Believe what you want to, but a little honest, hard research into the past will give you all the answers you need.

Answer 7

The Bible defines Sabbath.
It is day # 7 of the week, Saturday.
Genesis states it is a token sign of the covenant between God and the Jews.
Sabbath will always be Saturday by God's definition because God rested after 6 days.
New Testament churches for the most part gather together on Sundays, giving God the First Fruits of our week, rather than the last.

Answer 8

Jews believe that the Sabbath starts on Friday evening at sundown and runs till Saturday evening at sundown, so observant Jews go to synagogue on Saturday.

Of course, Muslims believe that Friday is the Sabbath.

Does it really matter which day is "really" the Sabbath? As long as you take one day off in every seven to rest, relax and restore your soul, however you choose to do that...?

Answer 9

You make it sound like Christianity should be worshiping only on sabbaths, as though they were required to do so.

Only Israel was required to keep the sabbath.

Answer 10

The Sabbath was under the law of Moses Christians are no longer under the Law, but the principals of the law.

(Romans 10:4) . . .For Christ is the end of the Law, so that everyone exercising faith may have righteousness.

(Colossians 2:13-14) . . .Furthermore, though YOU were dead in YOUR trespasses and in the uncircumcised state of YOUR flesh, [God] made YOU alive together with him. He kindly forgave us all our trespasses 14 and blotted out the handwritten document against us, which consisted of decrees and which was in opposition to us; and He has taken it out of the way by nailing it to the torture stake. . .

(Ephesians 2:15-16) . . .By means of his flesh he abolished the enmity, the Law of commandments consisting in decrees, that he might create the two peoples in union with himself into one new man and make peace; 16 and that he might fully reconcile both peoples in one body . . .

Now I think your missing the point about "The Lord's Day" in re 1:10, that day is the 1000 yr day when the lord Jesus Christ will restore the earth to perfection.

(1 Corinthians 15:24-28) 24 Next, the end, when he hands over the kingdom to his God and Father, when he has brought to nothing all government and all authority and power. 25 For he must rule as king until [God] has put all enemies under his feet. 26 As the last enemy, death is to be brought to nothing. 27 For [God] “subjected all things under his feet.” But when he says that ‘all things have been subjected,’ it is evident that it is with the exception of the one who subjected all things to him. 28 But when all things will have been subjected to him, then the Son himself will also subject himself to the One who subjected all things to him, that God may be all things to everyone.

Answer 11

Sabbath is Hebrew for rest.
The Sabbath is the day of rest.
In the Old Testament it was the 7th day.
In the New Testament it is the 1st day, since Jesus arose on the 1st day.

When they started worshiping on the first day, Jesus did not tell them that they were doing it wrong.

To a pastor, Sunday is not a day of rest, some have to give the same sermon three times in the morning and another at night.
