Actually neither day should be a day of worship specifically. We should worship God everyday. Go to the beginning of your Bible & read Genesis. On the seventh day God named it, Sabbath, set it aside, blessed & hallowed it. You are going to get many many answers to your question. The only answer that matters is what God says. You will find nowhere in the Bible where God changed his Sabbath day. This has nothing to do with Jew or Old Testament. He established his Holy Day in the beginning before either of those things existed. You will get answers about Christ' resurrection & the Apostles meeting on Sunday, so what, it doesn't mean God changed his Sabbath. Man changed the Sabbath. Read about Constantine & the Council of Nicea & you will see where Sunday worship started & why, fear of death, not God. Listen to God not man! God Bless!

everyday.....but Sunday is a specialler day for Jesus.....but everyday we should be worshiping

 

[Deadflesh]

EVERYDAY. JESUS is the LORD of the Sabbath. so if you are DEAD to Self, adn ALIVE in Christ. You are resting. Allready. You are COnstantly abserving sabbath.

Just like you are constanly celebrating the feast days. if you are truly dead to self. and JESUS is you life, and your life is a constatn prayer to God, then you are observing sabbath 24/7.

Jesus bless you

Jesus bless you

How many people do you know who could from their heart say the above in all truth?

A famous evangelist who saw incredible miracles in their services and was known worldwide once said

'Anyone can see the power in their services I have seen, but it costs EVERYTHING

I would say very few ever get to that stage, and if that Evangelist was right, anyone who did would have a worldwide ministry

Hi Mzungu, yes, the sabbath day is a saturday.

Please keep in mind that if we serve the old law, we cannot break one commandment. If we do, we will be judged by the Law. This is a different judgement. A harsh one. ..... We are under grace now. The old law was for the Israelites only. We keep everyday holy now. Jesus freed us from the law when he died at the cross. I hope this helps.

Romans 7:6 But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.

I don’t think it matters what day you worship, as long as you worship.

I don’t think it matters what day you rest, as long as you get a day of rest.

Everyday is the day of worship; stay on line all day,pray in your heart and and speak to him in your heart, even at work or driving; Keep the line on.Go to church on sat. or sun. makes no difference,the tradition is sunday so go on sunday.

 

[Lilyana]

Bible is clear, there is no need for human explanations. Exodus chapter 20. There should not be one out of the ten commandments less important today than they were in Jesus's life who kept all of them in his life. His life was an example how to fulfill the commandments of love which is written down in the ten and summarized in two big commandments. His disciples kept the sabbath day with Jesus as the Bible mentions it in several verses and even when He died they kept it as they were taught: Luke 23,54-56.....And the day was a preparation (Friday), and sabbath was approaching,and the women also who have come with him out of Galilee having followed after, beheld the tomb, and how his body was placed,and having turned back, they made ready spices and ointments, and on the sabbath, indeed, they rested, according to the command. 24,1: But on the first day of the week (Sunday), at early dawn, they came unto the tomb, bringing the spices which they had prepared. Matthew 24,20-21: Jesus when He was talking about the last days, said: and pray ye that your flight may not be in winter, nor on a sabbath; for there shall be then great tribulation, such as was not from the beginning of the world till now, no, nor may be.

If you were ill and bedridden but wanted to fellowship with believers and could only do "church" on Thursdays at your home, would you be ok with that? Do you think that God would be displeased because you're not able to go on a Sunday/Saturday?
We are not to forsake the assembling of believers, but does it really matter when and where?

“Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ". Colossians 2: 16

Do you consider yourself to be IN CHRIST? Then you're good

 

[el]

yep, yep..I agree with all of the above that says: EVERYDAY!!

God bless! And well, worship Him daily with your lives!

~Romans 12:1 ~ " Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. "

 

[AyCowgirl]

Hey, I'm a Seventh-day Adventist, and the reason we believe that Saturday is the Sabbath is because that is the day that God set aside for worship. Also, in Exodus 20:8,9 (part of the fourth commandment), it says "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour and do all thy work but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God." Not the first, not the fifth, but the seventh. I don't know about you, but I can't find any verses in the Bible where it says, "And God changed the Sabbath day."

Great scripture Silverwind! However, I like the KJ version better
Col 2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of a holy day, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days.

Col 2:17 Which are a shadow of the things to come; but the body is of Christ.

What does this all mean? The seventh day adventist church make it compulsory for members to follow the sabbath day as the Israelites did. This is a really big thing in their religion and not taken lightly. What does it say in Colosians concerning the law?

Col 2:14 BLOTTING OUT the handwriting of ORDINANCES that was AGAINST US, which was CONTRARY to us, and TOOK IT OUT OF THE WAY, NAILING IT TO HIS CROSS

So this is telling us that the law is gone and we are not under the law anymore. The law is CONTRARY to us. Christ did away with the law when he died on the cross. The Israelites are now free from the law. The gentiles were never under the law in the first place. The scribes & pharisees always tried to make out that Christ did not serve the law according to the commandments given. Christ was born under the law and served it accordingly as he obeyed his father till death and no sin was found in him. But Christ showed us that the sabbath was made for man and not man for the sabbath (Mark 2:27) Christ is Lord of the Sabbath (Mark 2:28) He is our spiritual rest.

Anyone who comes to Christ will have rest. Spiritual rest. Everyday. The law involved the flesh. Christ involves the spirit. We are to worship in spirit and in truth before we can enter the kingdom of God.

So what does this scripture mean
Col 2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of a holy day, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days.

Meat & Drink
The scriptures speak to us now, Christs followers. If we want to eat something that was once considered unclean in the old law, it's ok to eat now;
1 Timothy 4: For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be recieved with thanksgiving.

The SDA do not encourage members to eat meat. They consider it unclean. I once showed this scripture to a SDA member who was a cooking teacher in one of their schools and she was astonished. She was stuck for recipes, tired of vegetables and craved for meat. She realises she is now free from this unnesessary burden. This is why reading the scriptures for ourselves is very important, so we can't be fooled by mans made up doctrine to place unnesessary burdens on us. We are free in Christ.

In respect of a holy day
So those in Christ now are not required to observe the sabbath. We cannot be judged by them . This also goes for any holy day.

New Moon
The Jewish calendar is lunar, and each month begins on the new moon. When the new moon was observed, they sent messangers to tell the people when the month began. There were people that lived in remote areas and did not get the news. So celebration times differed. So if you do not celebrate whatever on the correct day, you are now not to be judged by them.

Also, if anyone wants to be under the law, we cant judge them either. The law judges them.

1 Timothy 4:1 Now the Spirit speaks expressly, that in the LATTER TIMES, some shall DEPART from the faith, giving heed to SEDUCING SPIRITS, and DOCTRINES of DEVILS.

1 Timothy 4:2 Speaking LIES in HYPOCRISY; having their conscience seared with a hot iron.

1 Timothy 4:3 FORBIDDING to MARRY, and COMMANDING to ABSTAIN from MEATS, which GOD HAS CREATED TO BE RECIEVED WITH THANKSGIVING of THEM which BELIEVE and KNOW THE TRUTH.

I don't know about you, but I can't find any verses in the Bible where it says, "And God changed the Sabbath day."

Mark 2: 27 Jesus said to them, "The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath. 28 "So the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath."

Jesus makes it clear that He has the power to change the Law, or abolish the Law, in totality or in part, after the Law has been fulfilled.

Matthew 5: 17 "Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets ; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill.18 "For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass from the Law until all is accomplished.

He also makes it clear that the fulfillment of the Law has not occurred yet. That is why He followed the Sabbath during His lifetime, though not as the Pharisees required. He also states that His purpose is to fulfill the Law. The Law was fulfilled at the cross. Fulfilled means that it is no longer in effect.

Romans 10: 4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.

Paul here affirms that Christ has fulfilled the Law, therefore it is accomplished, meeting the requirements set forth in Matthew 5: 18. Just as if you fulfill the requirements of a debt, by paying it off, the debt is no longer a debt, but is accomplished. It is the same with the Law.

Galatians 3: 13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us-for it is written, "CURSED IS EVERYONE WHO HANGS ON A TREE "- 14 in order that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we would receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

We are longer under the Law. Christ has set us free! Thank God!

Galatians 5: 1 It was for freedom that Christ set us free ; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery. 2 Behold I, Paul, say to you that if you receive circumcision, Christ will be of no benefit to you. 3 And I testify again to every man who receives circumcision, that he is under obligation to keep the whole Law. 4 You have been severed from Christ, you who are seeking to be justified by law ; you have fallen from grace.

It has been made abundantly clear throughout the O.T. that if you fail in one part of the Law, you fail in all things. Therefore, if you insist on obeying the Sabbath Laws, which were meant only for the nation of Israel in the first place, as was circumcision, then you must obey ALL of the Law. Good luck with that.

Thankyou silverwind for these words.
As one that is hindered by disbuilities, it weighed heavy upon me that making it to church was very difficult.
Then I heard a man speak, for those that could not get to church, to giving all days to God with praise, and one to rest to honor God, was good.
In many ways, this site is the only church I can visit.
A church not made of wood or stone, but of all here, brothers and sisters in Jesus, this is the church that brings the witness and love of Jesus to me.
I thank Jesus for His body and church in all of you here.
All is glory and praise to Jesus, God Our Father, His Holy Spirit.
Everyday is for God, everyday His praise.

God bless.

Saturday there is no place in the Bible old or new that say to worship on sunday. Remember Jesus said he is lord of the Sabbath and the Sabbath is Saterday

 

[bayo6]

19 The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. 20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. 21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. 22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. 23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. 25 The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things. 26 Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.
John 4:19-26 (KJV)

 

[Tatz]

Good question!! , real of worship: Everday, 24/7, 365 days in a year. Worship is a lifestyle. You live it everyday. As for the day that people gather together to pray and fellowship, i fellowship on Sunday and i don't have a problem with my brothers and sisters who do it on Saturday.

 

[Lifelike]

EVERYDAY. JESUS is the LORD of the Sabbath. so if you are DEAD to Self, adn ALIVE in Christ. You are resting. Allready. You are COnstantly abserving sabbath.

Just like you are constanly celebrating the feast days. if you are truly dead to self. and JESUS is you life, and your life is a constatn prayer to God, then you are observing sabbath 24/7.

Jesus bless you

Yes, which no one really is(dead to self)... but there is a rest, that we are to enter into, and thats what the sabbath is all about - it points to that rest(describes, illustrates, illuminates, gives meaning to), where we cease from our own works, and enter into His. His yoke is easy and His burdun is light. We should daily die, to our own desires, and lusts, and learn to enter into His, but it is a process, and thank God! for His grace, that allows us to taste the powers of the age to come, and then go through trial and tests of the flesh, where He purges us and teaches us to live a holy life. We will enter in - as a church - but just like israel, there is a process, there is a wilderness, there is a crossing over, and a defeating of the enemies in the land, but the promise remains, of a rest, and we WILL enter in. But there are also times and seasons in God, and His prophetic timetable - which is fulfilled at His discretion We are in some exciting times!!!
