When Jesus died, what day of the week did he rise?
Also, what day is the sabbath? Is it Saturday?
I'm in an argument with my dad about these two questions and would like to know what you guys say.
You will not find one single verse that says Sunday is now the Sabbath. You will not find any verse that states Sunday is to be a day to worship Jesus in commemoration of His rising from the dead. The 7th day of the week is, and always will be--God's Sabbath. The Sabbath was instituted at Creation, there were no Jews then. Jesus said the Sabbath was made for man, He never said it was made for the Jews.
All first Christians all worshipped on Saturday---it slowly changed to Sunday because of the persecution of the Jews by the Romans. It was started by men who did not want to be associated with Judaism. Problem is=-=-=-God does not distinguish His people by nationality. --His people worship Him on His day, no matter what their nationality is. Throughout history there have always been 7th day keepers. They have remained a remnant. Until now when we, and every Sabbath keeper, are proclaiming His true Sabbath. The 7th day Sabbath is the Lord's day, not Sunday---that is man's day. The sanctity of the 7th day was transferred to Sunday by the Catholic Popes. But first started by Emperor Constantine by a decree. There is no biblical day other than the 7th day for worship of God. There are only man-made rules for Sunday worship.
Gen 2:2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
Gen 2:3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
It is a commandment written by the hand of God Himself. He wrote it, and only He can change it. It does not change with the covenants=--neither do any other commandments. The unrepentant breaking of any of them shuts you out of the heavenly realm. Keeping any commandment will not save you, unrepentant breaking of them will keep you out of God's presence, to be out of His presence is death.
Exo 20:8
Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
Exo 20:9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
Exo 20:10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
Exo 20:11
For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
