The True Sabbath

[Believer-in-Christ]

Was, is and always will be Saturday. Regardless of what anyone else says. I go to church on Saturday because the church is true to the Holy Word. How has it come that many of our christian churches proclaim Sunday as the day of Sabbath? It is false and does not match with what the bible says. We have one man to thank for the changing of the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday, and he had no God given right to. In the early parts of the fourth century Constantine issued a decree, declaring Sunday a festival all over the Roman Empire. ever since, this has stuck in the minds of millions as the day we should worship on. Saturday is the true day because that is the day God finished his work on creating the universe, which was Saturday, the seventh day.

Hi there!




Well, let's go hang the apostles who celebrated both the sabbath and the resurrection of Christ.... then let's hang all the early church fathers that followed their tradition, moving the day of worship to the first day of the week.

Hi there!




And I thought that God finished the works of creation on the sixth day.

How do you know our calendar is correct? Perhaps Sunday is really Saturday, if you could count all the way back to the day on which God is said to have finished creation.

First of all, that's fine if you feel that you should worship on Saturday but the Bible tells us not to "esteem one day over another". This is what Paul called a "disputable matter". It's a non-essential that Christians of good conscience have the liberty to disagree over so I don't think you serve yourself or the Gospel well by condemning those who disagree.

Second, and much more important, neither Sunday nor Saturday are the Sabbath for the Christian. Now that Christ has come, He is our Sabbath.

Hebrews 4:10-11 speaks to this.

Isn't the sabbath even today still on Saturday? Correct me if I'm wrong but what the Christians celerbrate Sunday has not a thing to do with the Sabbath?

The Bible also tells you to "Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God."

Which other among the Ten Commandments are also "non-essential," open to negotiation and disagreement?

 

[Patiently waiting]

I don't often agree with Occamslaser, but I do on this one.

I believe the evidence is overwhelming that Saturday is the true Sabbath. Isn't it funny how in the bible God says to, "Remember the Sabbath"? I think He told us to remember because he knew we'd change it.

Forgive me, this could not be passed up....
The look of the words and the lack of emotions applied (ie. smilies) just placed a picture in my mind of the two of you sitting there, face to face, and OccamsLaser seriously taking S's hand, and giving her the bad news, lol.
Sorry, I could not resist.
Bye~

Hi Believer,

"Saturday is the true day because that is the day God finished his work on creating the universe, which was Saturday, the seventh day."

Maybe God started on Monday!!

 

[Soul_Searcher]

Actually, EVERY DAY is the Sabbath, in that every day we should rest in God, commune with God, BE with God.

Ok being that I'm pentecostal I figure you can guess what day I go to church on. Yes it is Sunday. Now I'm not saying that Sunday is the right or wrong day but I am saying that before you tell someone thier wrong you need to research what you are saying. Not to long ago I got to thinking about our calendar. Who created it, how many times it has changed and what not. I can't remember the site or all the stuff that was on it but I can tell you a little about what it said. Our calendar has changed many times, adding days, taking away days, even adding hours here and there, now personally I believe that this could mess up the day we are suppose to worship on. For all we know it's Wednesday. And just to let you know alot of the changes made were by Jewish people. You really should look it up sometime, if I can find it I will show you but I have already looked today and don't feel like going any further right now.

I feel that there are alot of things that we christians argue about that just aren't all that important to our salvation, like what to call God and what color was Jesus and how we are suppose to dress to go to church and what day do we go to church on. What is important is our relationship with Christ. Without that it really doesn't matter when you go to church.

Question ....do you celebrate Christmas....Christ's birthday....well we don't know when He was born but we still set a side to celebrate.

I don't think it matters what you wear to church atleast your there. I don't think it matters what day you worship on cause atleast your worshipping....God hears us the other 6 days too. It doesn't matter what you call God as long as you call Him. And who cares what color He is cause He doesn't see colors why should we.

Back on the subject.....do you ever work on Saturday........I do...I'm a mom....it's a 24/7 job. Most people have to work weekends or not eat. I once had a guy tell me it's a sin to work on the sabbath. I asked him what about doctors and police fireman ...our military.....he said they should do it for free on the Sabbath ....I just laugh.......

which was Saturday, the seventh day.

I guess it depends on which day of the week is the first. I always thought Monday was, and so Sunday would be the seventh day.

Mon1, tues2, wed3, thur4, fri5, sat6, sunday7

The Bible also tells you to "Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God."

Yes, it does but this doesn't show that Saturday is the required day of worship for Christians, nor does it negate the fact that the Sabbath was merely a shadow of Christ.

Which other among the Ten Commandments are also "non-essential," open to negotiation and disagreement?

Only two of them touch on doctrine, "honor the Sabbath" and "thou shalt have no other gods".

Of the two, the Sabbath is a non-essential but other gods is an essential doctrine, obviously.

We didn't change it. Christ changed it.

I understand this subject is an in house argument that Christians engage in, but as a lover of God of a path that is not Christian, divisions caused by the arguments over the true Sabbath has always struck me as totally petty. Yet, this subject has caused deep divisions with in the Christian church. Other than ego focused stuff, I just don't get why it's such a big deal where people will come away angry at others over it.
