Born again Christians: which day of the week do you assemble at church?

Question

Remember i said "born again"!

Do you attend Church on Saturday or Sunday?

If on Sunday, why do you attend it on Sunday rather than Saturday? Is your congregation ever gonna change this day for the other, why or why not?

If you attend church on Sunday do you keep this day as the Holy day of the week or do you keep Saturday Holy and attend church on Sunday to assemble with other Christians? Please be informative.

If some of you answerers are a part of a denomination, which one is it and if you aren't do you attend a non-denominational or do you mostly assemble at each other's homes. I am very curious.

P.S. If you attend Church on Sunday, do you think or believe that you congregation will ever change this day before Christ returns? why or why not?

those who ask does it matter? i didn't ask if it matters to you or not, i want to know the facts only as to why or why not you and your congregations do what you do.
Those of you whom i had not asked, i respect your opinions but please keep them to yourselves.

those who say that everyday should be for worship not just Sunday, i know that already. I know people personally worship God daily but collectively i am taking, since you all can't meet everyday to do this, i am saying which day then do you? And i said, "assemble" not worshiping, although i know assembling eventually leads to worshiping, don't get me wrong.

Answer 1

Our primary day of worship is on Sunday, the first day of the week.

In the Old Testament, the Israelites were told on the seventh day of the week, they should “remember the Sabbath day”. (Exodus 20)

This command, however, was not repeated in the New Testament. To the contrary, the New Testament says that we are no longer to be judged according to Sabbath days because that Old Law was nailed to the cross with Christ. (Colossians 2:14, 16)

If we bind this one law from the Old Testament, the Old Law, we are subject to keep the whole law.
In Galatians 5:3, some were trying to bind circumcision, an Old Testament commandment. Paul said if they bound this one item from the Law of Moses, they were “debtor to keep the whole law”. James 2: 10 says, if you keep the whole law, but miss one point, you are guilty of all.

If you bring the requirement of the Sabbath Day over from the Old Testament, you must also, with the same authority, bring over everything else; all of the sacrifices, feasts, burning incense, yearly trips to Jerusalem, etc. We must keep the whole law if we keep any part.

If we try to justify ourselves by the Law of Moses, we have “fallen from grace.” (Galatians 5:4)

In the New Testament, which came into effect after Christ rose from the dead (Hebrews 9, Romans 7) one will notice a special significance to the first day of the week.

First, this is the day Jesus rose from the dead (Mark 16:1-2). Also, this is the day of the week the church had its beginning. (Acts 2) Pentecost was always on the first day of the week.

Specifically for worship, we see that the early Christians met on the first day of the week. In Acts 20:7, it says, “On the first day of the week when the disciples met together to break bread (i.e., to observe the Lord’s Supper)…”

Every week has a first day. This is very similar wording to Exodus 20 where they were told to observe the Sabbath on the seventh day. They knew that every week had a seventh day, so they remembered the Sabbath every week. Here we have a New Testament example of the early church meeting on the first day to partake of the Lord’s Supper, and on that occasion, Paul preached. This example shows the Lord’s Supper and preaching on a particular day, the first day (Sunday)!

In 1 Corinthians 11, Paul is also speaking of the Lord’s Supper. Just a little later, he commands them to do something else “on the first day of the week”. The idea seems to be that since they were gathered together for the Lord’s Supper (on Sunday), that they should take up their offering also.

The specific command is, “Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, even so do ye. Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store…” (1 Corinthians 16:1-2, KJV) The New American Standard Version translates this as “on the first day of every week…”!

Here is a specific Bible command to do an item of worship on the first day of (every) week, Sunday!

When we meet on the first day of the week, we are following this specific command, and the example in Acts 20:7 that names the specific day of the week, as well as Acts 2 that shows the church's beginning on Sunday! Since the New Testament will remain in effect until Christ returns, faithful Christians will continue to follow its commands and examples by meeting on each Sunday until that time.

Answer 2

I attend church on a Sunday and no I don't believe that it will change.
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 3

For Christians the Resurrection of Jesus Christ on the first day of the week (Sunday) replaces the Sabbath as the day of ceremonial observance of the Commandment to keep the Lord's Day holy.

The Catholic Church follows the teaching and practice of the Apostles. In the 20th chapter of the Act of the Apostles, the church in Troas gathered on the first day of the week, Sunday.

The first Christians were Jews. They went to temple or synagogue on the Sabbath (Saturday) with fellow Jews.

Then they gathered on the first day of the week, the day on which Jesus rose from the dead (Sunday), with fellow Christians to tell stories of Jesus and share Eucharist. See Acts 20:7.

Later Gentiles joined Christianity. The Apostles, filled with the Holy Spirit, decided that the Gentiles did not have to covert to Judaism. Therefore, they only attended on Sundays and did not have to abide by Jewish dietary laws.

This biblical practice inspired by the Holy Spirit has been followed ever since.

With love in Christ.

Answer 4

I attend church on Sunday, and my church is nondenominational. I don't think it matters which day the Sabbath is on, just as long as you keep that day holy, be it Saturday or Sunday. Also, I think the day in which people choose to worship is a matter of tradition, and has nothing to do with one's personal walk with Christ. But like you, I'm also curious as to why people choose to worship on certain days.

Answer 5

Our church seats 500 - we have 2,000 attenders. Therefore, we have 2 services on Saturday night and 2 services on Sunday morning. I go on Saturday night because it works best for me. I don't think it matters what day of the week you attend church. God wants our worship all the time.

Answer 6

We assemble on Sundays. This is because it is a holy day as written in the bible. Sunday is the true day of worship, also known as the sabbath. You can worship on other days but most churches do on Sundays. Do what ever you feel confortable with. I'm glad that you want to know God better. He loves you so much that he sent his son to die for you.

"I can do all things through Christ who strenghtens me." Phil. 4:13

Answer 7

Early Christians met in the temple with the Jews, on Saturday, but when the gospel was taken to the Gentiles the day was changed to the first day of the week, Sunday, in every example seen in scripture, especially in Acts.

Act 20:7 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.

1Cr 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.

Those two alone are enough reason to follow that example So why would you want to change that approved example?

If you're Jewish, keep the Sabbath. If not meet on the first day.

Answer 8

Our church meets Sunday morning, and evening and Wed and
Thurs. for Bible classes.

No, our Pastor and deacon board decide which day we meet.
We believe that Jesus Christ fulfilled the Sabbath and we rest in Him everyday. It's a daily thing not certain days. Read Col. 1:15
22. We do not esteem one day above another. We are
anticipating the return of the Lord, it imminent.

Answer 9

chomp on this " a church starts with a family" a family starts with 2 people we as families are at church everyday. the building we meet at is to encourage each others churches and have fellowship together with the lord. sunday is more of a social activity that celebrates the word. as far as being born again it just simply acknowledges that we are free from our sins we need not sacrafice anymore the lamb; jesus christ, took upon him the sins of all of man, including atheists. with his blood our souls were cleansed. again my church; my family assembles every day, and we "socialize" with other churches; famillies sometimes more then once a week.

Answer 10

Our church has services on Sunday there is no plans to change it. True born again christains no longer practice keeping the Sabbath as we are no longer under the law.
However we do practice keeping the commandments that our Lord Jesus Christ commanded us to keep. Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart,with all thy soul, with all thy strength, and with all thy might. And love thy neighbor as thyself on these two commandments hang all law.

If you believe in keeping the sabbath why do you keep it on a day named after a greek God? How do you know which day is the true Sabbath?
