I am a charismatic Christian and I have discovered how important the Sabbath is to God. So, if you love and respect Him, then keep the Sabbath on the dat that He designed. Our God Himself rested on that day.

SATURDAY is the SABBATH ( my belief ) 🙏

Jesus said if you love me, keep my commands. Amen

Taken as a whole, the New Testament is unequivocal in its support for the Christian observance of the Biblical sabbath, which ran from sunset on Friday to sunset on Saturday.

For example, expecting Sabbath observance to continue until the end times, Jesus - the Lord of the Sabbath (Matthew 12:8; Mark 2:28; Luke 6:5) - told his disciples to pray that, when they see the abomination of desolation standing in the holy place, their flight not be on a Sabbath (Matthew 24:15-20).

In Acts 13:42-48, jewish and gentile converts alike observed the Sabbath.

When writing to _gentile_ Christians in 48AD, the Council at Jerusalem noted: “from early generations Moses has had in every city those who preach him, for he is read every Sabbath in the synagogues” (Acts 15:21). In other words, the Council was writing to sabbath-observing gentiles. At this early stage in church history, there was no New Testament for Christian congregations (which typically met in synagogues) to draw on.

In Acts 20:7, the breaking of bread refers to the evening meal after the Sabbath was over. Hence, the 'breaking of bread' was the Saturday evening meal.  Note that the reference is to the Jewish 'first day of the week', which ran from sunset on Saturday to sunset on Sunday, and not to the Roman 'Day of the Sun'. Acts 20:11 confirms that Paul departed at daybreak the next day. The clear implication is that, after observing the Sabbath then preaching on Saturday night,  Paul's intention was to depart on Sunday morning - not to observe Sunday as a sabbath.

1 Corinthians 16:2-3 is not a reference to taking up a collection during a Sunday church service. Rather, the Corinthians were to _"put something aside and store it up", _ on the first day of the week. Putting something aside and *storing* it is not the same as bringing an offering to a church service for collection. For Jews, taking up collections at a Sabbath service was (and still is) offensive.

The Apostle Paul – the apostle to the gentiles – consistently observed the Sabbath (Acts 13:14 & 42-44; 16:13; 17:1-2; 18:4-11). After 3 years before visiting Peter in Jerusalem (Galatians 1:18), a further 11 years’ Christian ministry before the Jerusalem Council (Galatians 2:1) and at least 11 years ministry after that (Acts 25:1), Paul declared:
_“Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar have I offended at all”_ (Acts 25:8)
meaning Paul had kept the Sabbath for at least 25 years as a Christian._
Given Paul's admonition that:
_neither circumcision counts for anything nor uncircumcision, but keeping the commandments of God_ (1 Corinthians 7:19),
what criteria do those opposed to sabbath observance use to decide which commandments  to obey? See also Matthew 5:19; 15:3; Mark 7:8-9; John 14:25; 1 John 2:3-4; 3:24; 5:2-3.

Paul also wrote:
_Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ_ (1 Corinthians 11:1)
And Christ, like Paul (his imitator), faithfully kept the Sabbath. See also 1 Corinthians 4:16; Ephesians 5:1; 1 Thessalonians 1:6.

Hebrews 4:9 reminds us that
_there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God_
The writer goes on to exhort us at Hebrews 10:23-25, with
_Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful; and let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near._
a clear reference to the 'holy convocation' that is integral to sabbath observance (Leviticus 23:3)

Although Romans 14:5, Galatians 4:9-10 and Colossians 2:16-17 are often used to claim Sabbath observance has been abolished, careful reading reveals that:
• *Romans 14:2-6* concerns only whether one should fast on certain days, not whether one should observe the Sabbath;
• *Galatians 4:9-10* concerns only the observance of 'days, and months, and seasons, and years' associated with 'elemental spirits', which has nothing to do with the Sabbath;
• *Colossians 2:16-17* - which contains the only Sabbath reference in the entire Pauline corpus - _does not_ say Christians can ignore the weekly Sabbath; that is the exact opposite of Paul's meaning. It is worth citing Paul's words in full:
_Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in matters of food and in matters of drink or aspects of a feast or a new moon or sabbaths which are an outline of what is to come, but the substance belongs to Christ._
The first thing to notice is that Paul was telling his audience to not let anyone pass judgement on them for _participatiing_ in these things, not for their failure to participate in them. Moreover, the Greek text refers to sabbaths in the plural (σαββάτων - sabbatōn) - not _the_ Sabbath (σάββατον - sabbaton) in the singular - note the difference in spelling and pronunciation. Furthermore, the context is one in which Paul is countering human traditions that are "not according to Christ" (cf. Colossians 2:8), which clearly do not apply to the institution of the weekly Sabbath in Genesis 2:3 and its proper observance.

Note, too, that all these sabbaths/weeks, feasts and new moons _are_ an outline (shadow) of things to come, not _were_ a mere shadow of things that have passed into history and their "substance belongs to Christ" *in the present.* In Colossians 2:20-23, Paul goes on to tell the Colossians that man-made rules about these things have _an appearance of wisdom but are of no value in checking the indulgence of the flesh._

In context, then, Colossians 2:8, 16-23 tells Christians that they should not allow anyone to pass judgment on them for the food they eat, the liquids they drink, or for participating in the Jewish feasts, new moon observances and sabbaths; they are not encouraged to believe proper observance of the weekly Sabbath is optional, let alone that it has been done away with. Given that the Colossian Christians were mostly gentiles, one can well imagine their unbelieving gentile neighbors reaction to their "Judaizing". Paul's advice here should also be understood in light of the Pharisaic criticisms leveled at Jesus on the related topics (Matthew 11:19; 12:1-2).

In Revelation 1:10, the reference to the Lord’s day (κυριακῇ ἡμέρᾳ - kyriakē hēmera) may just be a way of saying 'the day of the Lord', which is how the ISV translates it. In any event, it is not described as a day on which believers had some kind of gathering; all it tells us is that John was 'in the spirit' on that day.

Although Jesus is often said to have broken the Sabbath (Matthew 12:2, Mark 2:24; Luke 6:1-2; John 5:16-18; 9:16), thereby abolishing it, what He in fact did was to: assert His authority over it (Matthew 12:8; Mark 2:28; Luke 6:5); restore its observance to its proper basis (Mark 2:27); and confirm the true scope of what could be done on that day (Matthew 12:10-12; Mark 3:3-5; Luke 6:6-10; 13:10-17; 14:1-6; John 5:2-19; 7:23, 9:1-34).

In James 2:2, translators tend to hide the reference to συναγωγή (sunagógé) - synagogue - in the Greek text, rendering it 'meeting' or 'assembly' instead. See also Acts 4:31; 11:26; 14:27; 15:30; 1 Corinthians 5:4, where Christians are said to συνάγω (sunagó) - synagogue. In Acts 11:26, & 14:27, the ἐκκλησία (ekklésia) synagogued - συνάγω (sunagó).

The earliest clear reference to Sunday observance is found in the _Epistle of Barnabas_ (c.120), in which the writer says: “Your present sabbaths are not acceptable to Me … we keep the eighth day with joyfulness, the day also on which Jesus rose again from the dead”.

Justin Martyr (c.140) wrote of “memoirs of the apostles” being read on “the day called that of the sun” alongside the “writings of the prophets” ( _First Apology_ 67).

Many other Christians also wrote of  Sunday observance well before the 4th century; and of other Christians who continued to observe the Sabbath.

Conspiracists - especially those of a Seventh Day Adventist (SDA) persuasion - love to blame Constantine and the Roman Catholic Church (RCC) for changing the sabbath from Saturday to Sunday when, in fact, the change from sabbath observance to Sunday observance began centuries before either existed. Although Constantine made Sunday the official Roman day of rest (in 321), doing so merely abolished the 8-day week the Roman Empire had inherited from the Etruscans - which had also been the norm in various parts of the Roman Empire - and facilitated what was by then a widespread, centuries-old, majority Christian preference in the western Roman Empire for Sunday observance.

Decades later, the Council of Laodicea (c.363/4) tried (unsuccessfully) to stamp out sabbath observance by anathematizing anyone who kept it. As late as nearly a century after that, though, Sozomen (400-450) and Socrates of Constantinople (?-440) wrote of the seventh day still being the Christian day of rest except for Christians in Rome and Alexandria.

Sabbath was made for the good of Adam, and not Adam for the good of the Sabbath. Amen.

[ThomasBranson-yvub]

I am a Baptist and I disagree with their beliefs and worship day. I use Saturday as my Sabbath. That is the day I rest, I work on Sunday.

[Frank-vkjq]

Man cannot make anything of his imagination, holy .

[jefferyberridge]

The day never changed but the way did Jesus said the son of man is Lord even of the sabbath. If he is Lord then he is supior so the way is through Crist not days as Paul explained to the Galtiains who were observing spacial days and months including sabbaths

[histruthbiblestudiesps]

Powerful, historical references would make the presentation more solid.

Sunday is the Resurrection of Jesus 28:1-10 Mk 2:28

[mystyredz]

I chose to approach this topic objectively and respectfully. I learned that the Jewish Sabbath never changed, even though there was a new day of worship among the first Christians called the 'Lord's Day' (which still continues to the present). The 7th-day sabbath or the Jewish Sabbath remains, while the Lord's Day is celebrated on the day after. Christians who now observe 'The Lord's Day' or 'The Day of Jesus' Resurrection' sometimes refer to this day, also as a "sabbath". In the modern English calendar, the weekly day Saturday is named after the Roman god Saturn, while Sunday is named after the sun. But these weekly calendar names have nothing to do with Jewish and Christian practices. Personally, I believe that both The Lord's Day and the Jewish Sabbath are significantly important days to the religious observers in question. Thus, I believe both days should be respected as holy days.

320 A.D .Empora Constantine. Change it. Sunday means Sun's day 4 the sun worshipping

[Dennis-dp]

The truth is they used the death penalty to enfoce sunday. Go figure?

[th.DaySabbath]

Jesus never changed the Sabbath day (mk.1:21; lk. 4:16) to other day (ps.89:34). Jesus rose in the end of the Sabbath (within the 7th day Sabbath time jurisdiction) - mt. 28:1, 1-6, axactly after 3 days and 3 nights (12:40).

[DS-uoie]

Sunday is not the Sabath ! Sunday is the Lords Day!👏

[cyprianpeters]

Its time you all speak the truth about the ssbbath
No man can change the sabbath read Hosea 2:11, 2Cor 3:1-18 Isa1 5-10, Heb 7 :11-17, ,Gal 5 read the word and allow the Holy Spirit to teach you and not the false teachings of hell n g white .
Jesus said He is the Lord of the Sabbsth sir /ladies if you have Christ in your heart He is the Sabbath.

[hostesyanangbayan]

its good to follow the 10 commandments jesus is a sabbath

[chapmaned]

The most interesting thing about this argument is NOT the discussion of the Sabbath, but the HIDDEN element of working for SIX DAYS. Everybody knows that NOBODY works for SIX DAYS. NOBODY. A work week is 40 hours. That's FIVE DAYS, not SIX. Watching FOOTBALL on Sunday is NOT WORK. But the hypocrites want you to believe that they OBSERVE both halves of the singular commandment when they don't OBSERVE the SIX DAYS part. I love it! REPENT FOOLS!

[Steven-symn]

No one knows what days are what. Times and time has been changed in our hidden past. Example there use to be 13 months in a year. Fact

[chapmaned]

If you know that the weekly Sabbath begins ON FRIDAY at SUNSET, which makes it SATURDAY, then you should know how to read John 20:19, showing that the FIRST DAY, at sunset is again the first day, so that John 20:19 actually states, "Sunday, at sunset (MONDAY), being the first day of the week...Did you see that? Monday is NOW the first day of the week. Sunday is NO LONGER the first day of the week. That's what that states. So, since Monday is the NEW first day of the week, SUNDAY is NOW the 7th Day of the week. Saturday is NO LONGER the 7th day of the week.
