I'm curious as to why you posted this in the first place. Are you making a statement that everyone who does not worship on Saturday is rejecting God's will, and through their defiance they're going to go to hell? If so, there just went about 99% of the US Christian population.
Let's not forget that 1% that is usually worshiping on Saturday on the Roman calendar, not the Jewish one that is breaking all the rest of the Sabbath laws. In the same estimation, they are defiant and are going to hell also.

You'd better read Christ's words. The Pharisees said Christ was demon possessed and their father was the devil. Do you think I care what you accuse me of when you clearly care nothing about what Christ actually taught? Maybe I should consider your accusation a compliment given the positions you support.

I'm not sure what you mean by the Jewish calendar. The seventh day falls on Saturday for them as well as for us. Yes, they missed the big one, recognizing Christ, which loses the whole ship, I'll admit. As for everyone going to hell if they worship on Sunday on not on Saturday. I personally absolutely do not think so. God judges the heart. I know many wonderful Christians that keep Sunday as their sabbath. However, I very much wonder if this is going to become a big issue at some point in time, especially since God Himself said the sabbath law kept by His people ON THE SEVENTH DAY OF EACH WEEK signified that their God is the creator. Again, that seems very significant to me. I just think it's good for all Christians to address this while they still have that option, because it may well become extremely important at some point in time. Wouldn't you really wonder if everyone was forced to keep sabbath on Sunday at some point in time?

Jonah 4:11And should I not have concern for the great city of Nineveh, in which there are more than a hundred and twenty thousand people who cannot tell their right hand from their left—and also many animals?”
When you were a child, would you had known what is sin is without the word? And now you know what is unlawful behaviors towards the treatment of others, even including God. And if you do away from sinful acts, you are showing love and respect towards God and your neighbors. Like for an instance, if you covet your neighbors wife, you are disrespecting God because you are desiring to be with someone or thing as something of value, rather to be with God; and you are unveiling your neighbors wife and that is disrespectful towards your neighbor.

They did not invent it and that is not what I said. What I said is that it was made rule by the council of Nicea. Why did the protestants just accept the enforcement of Sunday? Why did they accept the enforcement of Ishtar and xmas?
You tell me. I keep the Sabbath and the Feasts of the Lord, not the days of the Catholic dhurch.

If you want to believe in the big bad ugly mean catholic church which forced all good Christians to worship on Sunday and other works of catholic bashing fiction, go ahead.
I posted statements by earlier church leaders that the church was already worshipping on Sunday hundreds of years before Constantine.

Mat 5:11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
Mat 5:12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
I noticed that the reviling has come from one poster only.

Stephen, for me? Keeping sabbath on the 7th day of the week is (for me) about doing what God desires most from me-- because and only because I love Him and wish to give Him my best. This has nothing to do with punishment. Now, I realize that sounds like I'm saying that those that don't keep the 7th day sabbath don't love God and don't wish to give Him their best, but I'm just plain not saying that. However, I'm sure you'd agree that our walk with God is personal. We must reason out for ourselves what seems the best choice when it comes to giving God our best. And again, for me? Keeping sabbath on the 7th day of the week makes the most sense to me right now. I do it because I believe (based on scripture) that God sanctified it as the day to keep by His people (which now includes everyone that comes to Him) because it represents that He is our God, the creator who made everything in 6 days and rested upon the 7th. I just see it as that sign which I view as distinctly important. It sets us apart from everyone else, as in, all other belief systems or the lack thereof.
