Why worry about the Ten Commandments, if you are disregarding the Sabbath?

" Is every Catholic good and is keeping everyday a holy day or is the sabbath day holy which came from Yahh and not Sunday which come from Catholics? "

I'm going to assume this is a rhetorical question.

Here are two reasons why keeping the Sabbath isn't as important a commandment as the other 9:

1) Some people simply can't go to church on "Sunday". Why is that? Sometimes, they are bedridden or sometimes they have to work to support their families or their schedule demands work on that day. Others, like myself, who are in the U.S. military are unable to gurantee that we will be able to attend church every week due to job constraints and a war that is going on right now.

2) Which commandment did Christ say was important, keeping the Sabbath? Nope. Worship the Lord your God, and also to Love your neighbor.

How's this for quote:

Christians quoting and may not be practicing their faith (in their spiritual walk). Faith will express itself in faith deeds not just words alone. Colossians 3:17 And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. Ecclesiastes 6:11 The more the words, the less the meaning, and how does that profit anyone?

We aren’t Jews, we can keep them all holy.

You've missed the point. Of course we can keep every day holy. But the point here is that there is only one day out of the weekly cycle that has been designated by God to be holy, and that day is the 7th day--the Sabbath.

And if you are not keeping that day holy, then you are disobeying God.

You can argue all you want. But in the day of judgment, you, as well as everyone else here who is arguing against the 7th day Sabbath, will stand before God and have to give an answer to Him for your disobedience to His command.

Just keep something in mind here: God is particular about how He wants us to worship Him. If He weren't, we wouldn't be a peculiar people.

Therefore, He calls the shots. Not us.

Even if back then, the "sabbath" was on Saturday, I think it don't matter which day you take as the sabbath, as long as you take one. The bible says that "the sabbath was made for man, not man for the sabbath." Think of pastors and those who work for the Lord on Sunday; they have to take another day to rest on!

Of course we have. See Genesis 2:2-3; Exodus 20:8-11; Deuteronomy 5:12-15; and Isaiah 58:13-14. Yes, other Jewish feasts were called holy, but without regard to which weekday they fell on.

You didn't read my post, epecially the emboldened part.


There is no Scriptural proof that the Sabbath was the only day that was to be kept Holy.

The sabbath was instituted to give the land, animals, and slaves, aliens, orphans rest, not sanctify the heart. It is up to christians whether or not they want to obey it...
It is precisely because my heart has been, is being, and will be sanctified that I choose to obey God's clear command on the day that some of the best record-keepers in the world, the Jews, affirm is the Biblical Sabbath. I do not obey to sanctify myself; but because I am already sanctified, I obey. This is one way my faith plays out in deeds. (Faith which doesn't result in a change of life and deeds isn't an active faith, as James 2 illustrates.)

Apparently you didn't read all of mine either.

I have found nowhere in Scripture in which the first day or any other day of the week is called holy.

But as long as we're setting aside one day in seven, why not the one the Lord originally set aside?:)

  • Your premise is false
  • The Resurrection redeems that fallen world, the creation of which is commemorated on the Sabbath, a shadow of Great and Holy Saturday.
  • The Mystical Eighth day of the new Creation surpasses the OT Sabbath, overshadowing it. To exhalt the Sabbath over the Resurrection is to exhalt the fallen world over the Kingdom of God redeemed by Christ on the third day, it is to make a mockery of Christ and His defeat of death by death.

Then why does Paul speak of the world's redemption as future in Romans 8:21-22? "Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now."

I do not exalt the Sabbath OVER the Resurrection at all! In a way, I celebrate the Resurrection daily, and especially on Sabbath days, by thanking God and trusting in Him for my salvation, for I could never have saved myself. But because He has saved me to do good works, as Ephesians 2:10 says, I willingly obey His clear command.
