Where specifically does the Bible make the change from Sabbath to Sunday?

Question

Hogie, as I have done in the past, I ask you once again to read 1 john 2:4.

DC Thanks for the link, yes I enjoyed that!

Answer 1

Clearly, God has specified which day, and has provided a means whereby we can know when that day occurs.
Again, does it matter which day we observe?
If it mattered whether Uzzah touched the ark of the covenant; if it mattered whether Samson permitted the cutting of his hair; if it mattered whether the man of God ate and drank in a certain place—it matters whether we keep the day God specifies!
It certainly mattered in ancient Israel—as we shall see.
Israel Punished for Sabbath-breaking
The apostle Paul writes: “Moreover, brethren, I do not want you to be unaware that all our fathers were under the cloud, all passed through the sea, all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea, all ate the same spiritual food, and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed [went with] them, and that Rock was Christ. But with most of them God was not well pleased, for their bodies were scattered in the wilderness. Now these things became our examples, to the intent that we should not lust after [desire to do] evil things as they also lusted” (I Corinthians 10:1-6).
Notice that Christ was the “Rock” who went with Israel into the wilderness. The same Rock leads God’s people today through the spiritual wilderness of this world. It was He who reminded Israel of the Sabbath day, and commanded them to keep it holy. Has He changed?
Jesus Christ, says the book of Hebrews, is “the same yesterday, today, and forever” (13:8). He has not changed! The holy law He gave to Israel— including the commandment to keep the Sabbath day—still stands (Matthew 5:17-19).
Note also that Israel’s mistakes are “our examples” in that we should not desire to do the “evil things” they did. Paul lists several of their evil things. Including idolatry and fornication. But let’s notice some Old Testament scriptures that tell us of another of the evil things the Israelites did in their wilderness wandering.

God didn't change the sabbath, men did.

Answer 2

The Sabbath is really the 7th. So? Could be the 7th day of the month also. Or the day after the 7week Sabbath that follows Pentecost. So? Also Pentecost is the day the spirit fell & was the 50th day (7X7=49+1=50).

The ladies checked the tomb at the 1st of the week & saw that Jesus had raised from the dead. So? The Sunday is to represtent the Resurrection. Being Sunday is the 1st of the week. And there are also Sabbaths that are the day after a 1 week Sabbath. And I wonder if the ladies checked the tomb out after the full week Sabbath & 8th day is a Sabbath also & the 1st of this week.

But then, it is written that abiding in Christ is entering His Rest. Adam, before the fall abided in Christ. It wasn't till after being forbidden the Tree of life that mans sins separated them from God. So? When we are born spiritually, then we are restored to God & can abide in Christ 24/7. Notice the 7 in that? To me the Sabbath rest day is abiding in Christ. Where I can come boldly before the Throne of Grace in time of need 24/7. In the bible it is written to not judge others regarding their Sabbath day or Holy Days. We are not under law, but under Grace.

Hebrews 4. And Gods rest was to enter the promised land. When we enter Gods rest, we have entered into Christ & His Rest. And I believe we should at least go to Church once every 7 days. Not really worrying what day of the week it is. Because also, Calendars are different.

I got a special blessing on the 07/07/07. I heard the Name of Yahweh in the spirit 7+ times. It sounded like a breath & wind.

7 is the number of completion, fulfillment, rest, healing, etc...

Answer 3

I do not beleive you will find it in the bible.

Here is a link to a question I reall enjoyed & found challenging at first look.
I am putting this here as I think you would enjoy.

Hope link works , I have never tied to include a link in an answer before

Answer 4

Why do you continue to milk this straw-man argument?

If not Sunday, then the sabbath must be observed! Black and white thinking.

Neither day is required. No day is required. You can't find one Scripture where Christians are commanded to keep the sabbath, let alone any of the O.T. law. On the contrary, Acts 15 states quite clearly they are not. Christians are saved through faith by grace, and the law -- none of it is relevant.

Or are you so desperate to find something to define you outside of faith and set you apart as superior to others who do not keep the law, especially the sabbath?

No one has anything to brag about regarding the law of faith, as Paul brings out in Romans.

Answer 5

The pertinent verses

Rom 14:5
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?book_id=52&chapter=14&version=49&context=chapter

Col 2:16
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?book_id=58&chapter=2&version=49&context=chapter

These verses, especially when read in context, make it plain that any day in which the Lord is honored is acceptable. There is nothing wrong with celebrating the Sabbath on Sunday. There is *also* nothing wrong with celebrating it on Saturday, or the traditional period (Friday sunset until Saturday sunset). There is *also* nothing wrong with *believing* that it *must* be celebrated on one day or another. (It is not wrong to hold a belief more restrictive than is demanded in scripture.)

Answer 6

The Apostles and other early Christians still celebrated the Sabbath on Saturday and began having a separate routine for Sundays.

Church Fathers, trying to distance themselves from the Jews and the Jewish-Roman wars forbid the practice of Sabbath on Saturdays.

PS: One of the tenets of the Seventh Day Adventists is to celebrate Sabbath on Saturday.

Answer 7

On the day of Pentecost; from that time on Saints gathered to worship on the first day of the week

Acts 20:7 Now on the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread,

1 Corinthians 16:2 On the first day of the week let each one of you lay something aside

This also is proven in that no Christians worshipped in the New Testament on the Sabbath after the day of Pentecost, Acts 2

Answer 8

The Bible never changes it. Constantine changed it to Sunday to appease the majority of the people in his kingdom. The majority were pagans that worshiped the sun (which he did too until he was on his deathbed), hence the name Sunday.

Answer 9

No such change in the Bible.

Neither did Jesus authorize it (to celebrate His resurrection). He said that His followers were to pray that they will not have to flee from Jerusalem on the Sabbath, which occurred in A.D. 70 (Jerusalem was destroyed).

Answer 10

It doesn't. The Sunday to Saturday thing is an artificial way of tracking sunrises and sunsets. All it says is God rested on the seventh day. In order to explain that one needs to know what the author (some say Moses wrote it) meant by the term a day.
