Can someone show me the scripture in the Bible saying that the sabbath was changed to Sunday?

Question

I would really like to see the scripture that says that Sunday is the "New Sabbath". This is a quest for the true meaning of the fourth commandment's "Remember to keep the sabbath day holy." Thanks

I would really like to see the scripture that says that Sunday (the first day of the week) is the "New Sabbath". This is a quest for the true meaning of the fourth commandment's "Remember to keep the sabbath day holy." (Seventh day) Thanks

Answer 1

The sabbath is actually sunset Friday to sunset Saturday, which is the biblical 7th day of the week. There is no biblical command to observe the Christian Sabbath on Sunday. The most commonly used passage to justify this is Rev 1:10, however that verse does not refer to Sunday, it refers to the time of God's judgment of Earth. When Constantine first set up a "Sunday Blue Law" where mandatory rest was to be enforced, he did not refer to is as the "Christian Sabbath" , he referred to it as "Dies Invictus Solis", the "Day of the unconquerable Sun", a reference to the Persian god Mithras, whose worship was very popular in the Roman Empire. One interesting fact on this question is that Martin Luther originally had 96 Theses, but was convinced to leave one of them off. It was one that held that the Sabbath was never changed. It was left off because Luther was convinced by fellow monks that it would be so unpopular as to damage whatever chance he had to influence others. Nevertheless, Martin Luther observed the 7th day Sabbath for the rest of his life, and taught others to do so as well. As to Gershon's point, I'm not against your observing the Sabbath, but it is a fact that the weekly cycle has never changed. Panzercommando's statements about it being changed for those reasons is correct.

Answer 2

A change from the 7th day to Sunday observance for The Sabbath will not be found in scripture.

True, Yeshua The Messiah, the apostles, and early believers diligently observed the Sabbath.

Acts 13:42 And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath.

Acts 13:44 And the next sabbath day came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God.

Acts 13:48 And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.

It wasn't until the Roman Empire slaughtered the Jewish people and Gentile believers for practicing Judaism and keeping the Sabbath that Sunday worship was instituted by the Roman church leadership.

Type an Internet search for the history of Jewish persecution.

Mat 12:40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

The church teaches that Jesus was crucified on Friday and resurrected on Sunday. That doesn't add up to 3days and 3nights.

In reality Yeshua The Messiah was executed on Wednesday during the Passover, hence The Passover Lamb. Thursday was the High Sabbath beginning the Feast of Unleavened Bread. He was resurrected on Saturday the weekly Sabbath, thus 3 complete days and 3 nights. He was seen risen immediately after the Sabbath on the first day of the week.

The Messiah is Lord of The Sabbath not Lord of Sunday worship service.

Exo 20:8 "Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.

Ezek 20:20 'And sanctify My sabbaths; and they shall be a sign between Me and you, that you may know that I am the LORD your God.'

Isa 58:13 "If because of the sabbath, you turn your foot From doing your own pleasure on My holy day, And call the sabbath a delight, the holy day of the LORD honorable, And shall honor it, desisting from your own ways, From seeking your own pleasure, And speaking your own word,
Isa 58:14 Then you will take delight in the LORD, And I will make you ride on the heights of the earth; And I will feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father, For the mouth of the LORD has spoken."

Have a nice day :)

Answer 3

Which day is the Sabbath? Since most churches observe Sunday as their day of rest and worship, many people assume that Sunday is the Sabbath.

The Fourth Commandment states: "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD your God. In it you shall do no work..." (Exodus 20:8-10).

God commanded that the seventh day be observed as the Sabbath. A glance at almost any dictionary or encyclopedia will show you that Saturday is the seventh day of the week, while Sunday is the first day of the week. The seventh day according to God's calendar is—and always has been—the Sabbath day. Although man has modified calendars through the centuries, the seven-day weekly cycle has remained intact throughout history. The days of the week have always remained in their proper order, with Sunday as the first day of the week and Saturday as the seventh

Answer 4

2 Tim 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

During the time of The Messiah's ministry, the Apostles and His disciples; Scripture was the Torah and the Prophets.

No "New Testament" writings existed until years later. The New Testament as we know it today was not canonized until hundreds of years later and by the Romans of all people who destroyed the Temple in 70AD.

If we look into the Scriptures or Torah we will find that the Sabbath is the 7th day of the week. Without a question recognized in Israel and universally today as Friday sunset to Saturday sunset.

In Scripture, writings of the prophets will show that the Sabbath was greatly polluted or profaned and because of this Elohim's wrath was kindled against His people, read Ezekiel chapter 20.

So in scripture Elohim's Sabbath was in a sense changed, not by Him but by the people. Whether it was changed to Sunday (Sun worship day) is not recorded in Hebrew scripture.

The Messiah broke the man made tradition of the elders (considered "law" to the Pharisees) regarding the Sabbath.

He did not break the Torah observance of the Sabbath. If He did He would easily be disqualified as a true prophet (Deuteronomy 13:4,5) and would not be the perfect unspotted Passover lamb of Elohim. False witnesses would not have been needed against Him in order to execute Him.

The 4th commandment instructs His people to guard the Sabbath and make it holy (set apart) from the other days of the week.

If we say every day is holy in regards to the Sabbath then there is no distinction, it is no longer set apart. It has been "profaned" observed like any ordinary day of the week.

Answer 5

I'm Jewish and we observe Sabbath on the 7th day. But there really isn't a guarantee that this is the correct 7th day of the week as there were periods people may not have kept track. At one time, Jews observed the Sabbath based on the cycle of the moon. So the 7 days is not really terribly important.

As one person said, it's the intention that is important.

I consider the Sabbath very important to me. The day isn't, but it shouldn't be a day you move around for your personal convenience.

Answer 6

Sabbath continues to be there and Sunday replaced into declared with the aid of the Catholics by using fact the Day of the Risen Lord which they provide extra emphasis by using fact the day to celebrate. and to no longer take a relax, Sabbath now could be being practiced with the aid of the seventh day Adventists and the Jews and suggested no longer as an afternoon to celebrate yet to proceed the classic Day of relax. that's no longer interior the Scripture yet some excellent events interior the Scripture (New testomony) has made the Catholics a reason to incorporate on their doctrines and teachings. It replaced into basically interior the final many years while all individuals of the Catholics have been allowed to study the Bible yet no longer without training to steer the reader. on my own, may lead on one to ask like the way you probably did.

Answer 7

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.

Here is the link: http://www.nccbuscc.org/catechism/text/pt3sect2chpt1art3.htm

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 8

The reason Christ followers started meeting on Sunday was because at first the converted Jews continued going on Saturdays as well. And the Gentiles took the following day to meet so there was no conflict. It is not in the bible anywhere when to meet, you can come together any day you want.

7TH day sabbath is Saturday not Sunday.

Answer 9

The sabbath isn't on sunday. Sunday, being the first day of the week, is the day of worship.

Answer 10

Sunday is not the new Sabbath. We are to keep the spirit of the law not just the letter of the law. We are no longer under the law because it was fulfilled in Jesus.

Therefore, we need to keep the Sabbath by principle not by any certain day.
