Did the Catholic Church Change the Sabbath?

In the Old Testament, Israel kept Saturday, the seventh day, holy as God commanded. But now, most Christians worship on Sunday, the first day. What happened? Did someone try to change the day of the sabbath?

“Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished. Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 5:17‭-‬20

Thus says the Lord : “Keep justice, and do righteousness, for soon my salvation will come, and my righteousness be revealed. Blessed is the man who does this, and the son of man who holds it fast, who keeps the Sabbath, not profaning it, and keeps his hand from doing any evil.” Let not the foreigner who has joined himself to the Lord say, “The Lord will surely separate me from his people”; and let not the eunuch say, “Behold, I am a dry tree.” For thus says the Lord : “To the eunuchs who keep my Sabbaths, who choose the things that please me and hold fast my covenant, I will give in my house and within my walls a monument and a name better than sons and daughters; I will give them an everlasting name that shall not be cut off. “And the foreigners who join themselves to the Lord, to minister to him, to love the name of the Lord, and to be his servants, everyone who keeps the Sabbath and does not profane it, and holds fast my covenant— these I will bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer; their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be accepted on my altar; for my house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples.” The Lord God, who gathers the outcasts of Israel, declares, “I will gather yet others to him besides those already gathered.”
Isaiah 56:1‭-‬8

Note: Matthew 5:18
17 “Think not that I have come to abolish the law and the prophets; I have come not to abolish them but to fulfil them.[a] 18 For truly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the law until all is accomplished. 19 Whoever then relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but he who does them and teaches them shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

Christ rested on Saturday, and still kept the sabbath

[nikkiraepartyjamz]

Happy Saturday Sabbath everyone the only Sabbath that was ever made and created it was never a mention in history in time where Jesus said this is the first day of the week in New Creation know where in the Bible does it say that that this is a new creation the new Sabbath not written at all this guy's giving you a load of BS

[investigativeresearchspeci]

That radio host needs to do more research instead of just guessing. There are plenty of newspaper articles whether Catholic Church explained why they changed their worship day to Sunday. Read the Catholic mirror September 23rd 1893. It was changed at the council of laodicea in the year 336 AD.

Jesus died on Friday. RESTED on the Sabbath (Saturday). And rose on Sunday.

[manaloatonata]

The lord rested on the sabbath and resurrected on the following day to keep the Sabbath holy. This was how Jesus showed the importance of the Sabbath and resting on this holy day even in his death. All glory to Jesus.

[Super-chad]

I am gonna be honest with this interpretation.... The narrator is right; his explanation is comprehensive however, I *don't* like how he communicated it! It sucks! It's so basic and apparently tenuous... He didn't even mention the words 'fulfillment, paschal lamb, Lord of the Sabbath or New and Everlasting Covenant'. This isnt gonna be convincing to the Catholic who is being bombarded with heretic theology on their way to Church

"The Son of Man is the Lord of the Sabbath" -Jesus

[gageblechinger]

Praise God for the Seventh Day Adventist Church! Didn’t God keep the Sabbath in Genesis? Did the other 9 commandments change?

[Michael-jpjw]

God gave us 10 commandments, not 9. Why do away with the commandment that God wants us to remember and not forget? "Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy." There is absolutely no New Testament text stating that God, Jesus, or the apostles changed the Sabbath to Sunday—not a text, not a word, not even a hint or suggestion. God does not change. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8). Who is man, a created being, thinks he is changing God's law? What arrogance!

[ruthbolton]

Yes so if we are still looking forward to the “super sabbath”, which has not yet been fulfilled, and Jesus kept the sabbath, why again aren’t we supposed to keep the sabbath holy? I say we should listen to the Bible and keep the sabbath holy as commanded.

[malcolmnoel]

You should tune in to adventist world radio or to 3ABN for more imformation on God's sabbath.

[Valdezpainting]

You can’t change god’s commandments.. SATURDAY IS THE REAL SABBATH. we have been lied to by the Catholic Church

[Gavriel-ogjv]

3:13 That "new creation" image about resurrection Sunday is an excuse to do away with Sabbath on Saturday. The Scriptures never refer to the Resurrection Day as such, but rather as (Christ being) "the first one of the resurrection of the dead"; the new creation that you are referring to it only but just begins in the heart of each Christian, and it will only be completed, as you said, when Christ returns. So this is not to say that resurrection Sunday represents a "new creation", not at all. Resurrection Day is about Him, the person of Christ, not about a new creation. What matters about Christ's resurrection is the creator, Him, not the creation.

[tatedeschamps]

We should keep the 10 Commandment, so Saturday is the Sabbath Day and Sunday is the Lord's Day. We should praise God everyday. God Bless everyone!

[StillProtesting]

Notice how there is ZERO scripture that tells us that the Sabbath has been changed.

The 10 commandments are not part of the ceremonial laws. By abolishing the Sabbath command is breaking the Sabbath and if you break one command you are guilty of them all.

[bwebwentekaibobkabuati]

Trying to validate or support our opinions (apart from answering the question to the context) most times confuses the inquirer, and those listening, and lack confidence in the answers!

[OfficialSonOfRock]

The problem with this guy saying that the Sabbath is a part of the "Old creation", he forgot to mention that the "Old creation" is still here. And we are living, and we are a part of that so-called "old creation". Remember the Sabbath Day (Saturday) and KEEP it Holy!
