Saturday Sabbath vs. Sunday Worship: What Does the Bible Say? | A Biblical Worldview Bible FAQ

How did Sunday become the Christian day of worship for Catholic and Protestant Christianity? Did Christ, the Bible, or early apostles authorize this change? 

In this Biblical Worldview Bible FAQ episode, we explore the biblical origin of the Sabbath and why Saturday, not Sunday, is the true day of rest according to Scripture. We highlight the absence of biblical authority for changing the Sabbath to Sunday, tracing this shift to early Christian influences and Roman persecution. Despite the change, many early Christians, including Jesus and the apostles, continued to observe the seventh-day Saturday Sabbath.

Learn how the Protestant Reformation inherited Sunday worship from the Catholic Church and why understanding the Sabbath’s significance remains essential for modern Christians. Discover the true biblical basis for honoring God’s Sabbath day on Saturday.

Council of Nicaea 325 A.D. No thanks to Roman emperor Constantine. No man has had the right to change what God sanctified or set apart as holy.

The Word of God has been turned upside down…

Sunday is sun worship from the beginning. God never changes, and that goes for His law too, for it is a transcript of the Divine character of God.

[doreeseglassel]

Religious men in the past thought that they knew
better than God about what day should be the Sabbath

[rickybullock]

Saturday is the true Sabbath sunday is a common working day which the catholic church system changed from 7th day to the 1st day of the week.

We ARE turning the world RIGHT SIDE UP (Acts 17:6)!

Colossians 2:16 KJVS
Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:

No mention in the NT about Sunday worship? How about Acts 20:7? There are plenty of reasons to worship on Sunday:
1) Jesus rose from the dead on Sunday.
2) The disciples were "gathered together" on Sunday when Jesus appeared to them in the closed room. (John 20:19)
3) Pentecost was a Sunday.
4) Believers were gathered on Sunday (Acts 20:7) when Paul's "long-winded" sermon took place and Eutychus fell from the window ledge.
5) Paul implies that the Corinthians are (or should be) doing this. (1 Cor. 16:2)

none of it will be rectified until the melenial rule, where finally all the remaining people in the world will keep the sabbaths weekly and annual, Gods laws etc.

The music to some of us, distracts from the message. The words are powerful without it.

God speaks about circumcision over 30 times in the NT, but does not mention changing one of His 10 commandments, that He wrote in stone.

[chrislucastheprotestantview]

I have recently decided to embrace the word "Judaize" and plan to make a video about it.

If you think about it, what does this word really mean?

Think MODERN. If you make something more MODERN, then you MODERNIZE.


If a gentile did not believe in the Jewish religion and therefore would not believe in the concept of a Messiah, then you would JUDAIZE them, align them with Jewish thinking.

I think so called "jews" who reject Jesus, actually need to be Judaized because they have departed from the faith.

The Jewish religion is all about Jesus. The Scriptures SPEAK OF HIM.

Rev 2:9 and 3:9 cannot be referring to jews of blood. Obviously Jews are someone who believes the religion.


If you are grafted in, you become a jew.

The SABBATH is the 7th day of the week. Satan ALWAYS does the opposite of the TRUTH.
What is the opposite of the LAST?, the FIRST.. Satan moved the SABBATH to the first, Sunday.

Colossians 2:16 KJV
Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
---- "On Earth as it is in Heaven"

[Milos-Stankovic]

Many churches have doctrinal errors because they choose to ignore other Bible verses dealing with same topic.

You cannot just assumed you are right because you simply accept and believe what church told you.

All doctrines of true church must be in harmony with whole Bible. If other Bible verses clearly dispute teachings of some church, than you are responsible to follow God's word and not tradition of man.

God doesn't change His moral law.

Churches change.
