Actually the Bible doesn't say to keep sabbaths.
Isaiah 1:13 Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.
Mark 2:27 And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:
Colossians 2:16 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:
Anyone who studies earnestly should come to conclude that the sabbath is prophetic of God's millennial kingdom:
2 Peter 3:8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
The history of a weekly 24-hour sabbath observance begins with the nation of Israel in the wilderness in the second month after their Exodus from Egypt in 1513 B.C.E. (Ex 16:1)
The Sabbath was celebrated as a sacred day (De 5:12), a day of rest and rejoicing for all—Israelites, servants, alien residents, and animals—ceasing from all labors. (Isa 58:13, 14; Ho 2:11; Ex 20:10; 34:21; De 5:12-15; Jer 17:21, 24)
Sometimes two legal Sabbaths would fall on the same 24-hour period, and this was called a “great” Sabbath, such as when Nisan 15 (a sabbath day) coincided with the regular Sabbath.—Joh 19:31.
After Jesus’ death, his apostles at no time commanded Sabbath observance. The Sabbath was not included as a Christian requirement at Acts 15:28, 29, or later. Nor did they institute a new sabbath, a “day of the Lord.” Even though Jesus was resurrected on the day now called Sunday, nowhere does the Bible indicate that this day of his resurrection should be commemorated as a “new” sabbath or in any other way. First Corinthians 16:2 and Acts 20:7 have been appealed to by some as a basis for observing Sunday as a sabbath. However, the former text merely indicates that Paul instructed Christians to lay aside in their homes for their needy brothers at Jerusalem a certain amount each first day of the week. The money was not to be turned in at their place of meeting but was to be retained until Paul’s arrival. As for the latter text, it was only logical that Paul would meet with the brothers in Troas on the first day of the week, since he was leaving the very next day.
From the foregoing it is clear that literal observance of Sabbath days and years was not a part of first-century Christianity. It was not until 321 C.E. that Constantine decreed Sunday (Latin: dies Solis, an old title associated with astrology and sun worship, not Sabbatum [Sabbath] or dies Domini [Lord’s day]) to be a day of rest for all but the farmers.
Read a little further into the narrative. The Sabbath is not required anymore, so it doesn't matter.
the BuyBull is a silly, bronze-age cult book. throw it out, or use its pages to wipe poop off of your butt-hole...
The Sabbath was the sign of the old covenant, and the requirement was that the people under the law were to rest or cease from work on that day. It was not a day of corporate worship.
Worship is not rest, and rest is not worship.
God does not deal mankind and Christians, holding them to the conditions of a covenant they are not a legal party to, and a covenant that ended.
You added:
Update: one of GOD's commandments is to keep the sabbath holy, JESUS himself keep the sabbath and it was not untill 204 a.d. that the pratice of having the services was changed to sunday. all the apostles all "DID" keep the sabbath you all need to do more research
No, it is you that needs to do proper research. Even the SDA theologian, Samuelle Bachhiocci showed in his book that Christians were universally gathering together on the first day of the week no later than 140 AD. Acts 20 is the ONLY example in Scripture where a strictly Christian gathering occurs, and it is on the first day of the week.
You also claim Jesus kept the Sabbath. No, He did not. John 5:18. Jesus broke the Sabbath. What He did on the Sabbath He called "work" and informs us that even the Father in Heaven works on the Sabbath.
You are so intent on making Christ over into your own image you are willing to lie and misrepresent Holy Scripture. Not a smart thing to do.
church is not Sabbath
church is not "keeping the Sabbath" (at least, as far as I know, for MOST Christians it is not)
You omit that the Bible
- gives very specific instructions regarding how to keep the Sabbath - instructions that no Christian I have ever met follows, including Seventh-Day Adventists
- gives that instruction **specifically to the Israelites** - not to Christians
- on the other hand, Gentile Christians have the instructions given in Acts chapter 15, among several others
When trying to burden the new Christians with Jewish laws the issue was brought to the attention of the Christian governing body in Jerusalem. Notice what directive was given.
Their decree states: “For the holy spirit and we ourselves have favored adding no further burden to you, except these necessary things, to keep abstaining from things sacrificed to idols and from blood and from things strangled and from fornication. If you carefully keep yourselves from these things, you will prosper. Good health to you!” (Ac 15:22, 28, 29)
There was no mention of keeping a sabbath.
They do. The world's oldest and largest Christian denominations still have a Vespers service on Saturday, and then they observe the Eucharist on Sunday morning. That has been the pattern since the first century, and is clearly described in the New Testament.
The 7 day Adventists make the same point but men of God these are the books of the law given unto mosses for all isreal
OK men we aren't Israel! God gave us the new covenant Jesus showed that it's OK for men to modify the law to save a life he said the law was made to serve you!
Not you to serve the law. I agree that this whole world would benefit by a Friday to Saturday Sabbath.
But our calendar starts with Sunday as worship day not Saturday because we don't live in Israel.
God's more likely to be displeased with us for continuing to use pagan names for the days of the week and months then he is to be made we changed saterday week to Sunday week.
Think about that people we begin each day by dedicating it's name to a pagan god! And an event that those gods did!
Let's get rid of the two by fours in our eyes before we start looking for a splinter in somebody else's eye!
So what are we talking Jewish, Roman, Mayan calendar or what..
The bible does not say anything about the sabbath being on Saturday.
Besides, Saturday is named after the Roman god Saturn.
The rest of the days of the week are named after Norse gods
Exodus says it's a perpetual covenant between the children of Israel and God
yes Yesmar, it's a moot point because Christ is the substance of the Sabbath, which was a shadow of what would come, Jesus
I will start off by saying I am a Jew that has been fooled by the false doctrines of Christianity. The answer is that Christians want a distinction between their false doctrines and the true beliefs of Judaism. Judaism stresses a belief in one, all powerful, invisible God, being the Host of this world and the world to come. Christianity goes off on tangents and says you must worship God in a human form, which is idolatry. In order to make their religion unique, and to make sure it strays away from the religion of Judaism, they made their Sabbath a different day, since the Sabbath is the most holy day of the week.
Best wishes.
參考: Jew that has been fooled by the false doctrines of Christianity
Many Christian churches hold services on Sat evening and then again on Sunday morning. That Bible says to keep the Sabbath holy, nothing about it being on a specific day of the week. Several Christians observe the Sabbath on Sunday because Jesus rose from the dead on a Sunday. The Sabbath for Jews is Friday sunset to Sat sunset. For Christians it's Saturday sunset to Sunday sunset. For Muslims it's Thurs sunset to Friday sunset. God didn't follow a human made calendar when He created the world and rested.
