Did Christ teach that we should go to church on th sabbath?

Question

Do any of the writers of the bible teach that we should go to church on the sabbath or on Saturday?

Please don't explain it to me. Just give me the bible reference and I will read it for myself.

Answer 1

NO.
He said: don't go to a church ( temple) to pray to your God.

Answer 2

No. But the Bible indicates that JC and the Apostles did observe the Sabbath and went to the temple as all Jews did. According to Jewish tradition, under Mosaic laws, men are required to go to the temple at least four times a year to attend certain festivals.

I believe it was Saul/Paul who taught the new converts and others to "congregate in church" on the Sabbath to support each other in strengthening their faith... Eventually, the Roman Church changed the Sabbath to Sunday, as their day of worship.

Peace be with you.

Answer 3

No, Jesus did not teach that. But here is what Paul had to say on the subject:

In Col. 2:16-17, "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. These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ."

Answer 4

10 commandments Keep holy the sabbath day. It is n ow sunday due to the ressurection of Christ on that day.

Answer 5

Remember the Sabbath and keep it Holy!

Answer 6

Isn't one of the commandments "Remember the Sabbath and keep it holy"?

Answer 7

ugh yes it does, but i don't know the verse. i could explain it, but you wouldn't like that

Answer 8

Yes, he did. (Col.2:6; 1Peter 2:21)
KJV Bible:
Col.2:6 = "As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:"
1Pet.2:21 = "For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:"
Following Jesus's example because he is the way, truth and life = John 14:6. (screensaver with verses)

John 4:22-24 = Jesus tells us we should worship like the Jew on Saturday.
"Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth."
Mark 2:27-28 = "And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath: Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath."
Luke 4:16 = "And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read."

Even the Apostles(Eph.2:20) kept the sabbath
Eph.2:20 = "And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;"
**********************
Acts 13:27, 42-44 = "For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him. And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath. Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the Jews and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God. And the next sabbath day came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God."
Acts 16:13 = "And on the sabbath we went out of the city by a river side, where prayer was wont to be made; and we sat down, and spake unto the women which resorted thither."
Acts 17:2 = "And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and three sabbath days reasoned with them out of the scriptures,"
Acts 18:4 = "And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks."

Hebrews 3:18-19; 4:1-11 = "And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?
So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.
For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works. And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest. Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief: Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts. For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day. There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief."
2Pet.2:21 = "For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them."
