Saturday

[God9]

Is Saturday the real holy day, the Sabbath day, the day of rest/ warship GOD? Because I want to know why people think it's Sunday? Don't want people to go to hell for getting there days mixed up.

I doubt that anyone would go to hell for picking the "wrong" day for worship and prayers.

"Sorry kid, all your life you've interrupted the game every Sunday with your prayers. Down you go." I can't really imagine that. ;)

Since there is no hell or even no heaven, you can't mix up the right day. Instead just choose any day to warship or, even better, to worship that one you believe in.

Saturday was/is the traditional Holy day of the Jews. Hebrew sisters, correct me if I'm wrong, but this goes back to Moses and the Great Plagues when the Israelites were slaves in Egypt. Maybe it's even older??? Sunday became the Christian sabbath after Jesus was crucified and buried on Good Friday and resurrected on Sunday morning. In the early days of the apostles, there were a lot of different ideas about what was right and wasn't. As things began to consolidate and various communities began to unite into one single all-inclusive church (guess what the word "catholic" means in Latin?) there was a big push to set rules for what, how, and when. And I'm guessing that when Catholicism was adopted as the official religion of Rome (the country), things got really bureaucratic. Because now there was power to be had, and things to be controlled, and money to be made through corruption. And that's just how politicians work.
Anyway, that's the 3-minute Katie version. Your mileage may vary.

Saturday is the 7th day.. the day of rest aka sabbath day.... it was the Roman catholic church than changed it to Sunday

Most Christian sects recognize Sunday as the Sabbath, a few, such as the Seventh Day Adventists, recognize it as being Saturday. No matter what day of the week it is, you won’t go to hell for whatever one you choose, that’s just ludicrous lmao

Sunday is my holy day. Im not overly
religious but I believe in Faith.

[HeyCameron]

I do not believe that it matters. Following the Old Testament to the letter doesn't seem to be a Christian prerogative anyhow; Sunday has been recognized as the "Lord's Day" since Roman times.

Sunday is my holy day. Im not overly
religious but I believe in Faith.Faith is not something one can belive in; it is a socal, phychological, and interlectual concept.

Ah hah! Now we're getting somewhere lol.

Depends on the religion. us Christians believe it is Sunday, Jews believe it's Saturday and Muslims believe it's Friday. just depends on what you follow

[Emilyfox]

I think so long as you choose your day and keep it Holy that’s fine
The 4th commandment which lays down the law of the sabbath day predates the current 7 day week by thousands of years

I think that the tradition that most Christian churches have worship services on Sunday (the first day of the week) instead on Saturday (Sabbath) is to commemorate the day that Christ rose from the dead. Also, it was the Apostle Paul in his letters to the new churches outside of Israel instructing them to meet on Sunday rather than on Saturday. These instructions can be read in I Corinthians 16:1-2 and Acts 20:7. Also, Christ himself alluded to the fact that he, as Lord, could change the day of worship as He saw fit. See Mark 2:27-28 and Luke 6:5.

For some church scholars, they believe that changing of the Christian day of worship to Sunday rather than keeping it on the Jewish Sabbath symbolizes that Christ never wanted to have Christianity remain as a purely Jewish sect. He envisioned that Christianity would be for the entire world. That was Paul's mission when he took the Word to all the people in the cities outside of Jerusalem by preaching to the Gentiles. If you ever want to read the very interesting stories of how Paul had to fight the church in Jerusalem to bring Christianity to the whole world, read the Acts Of The Apostles. He was truly a remarkable man. I guess that's why he is considered a great saint.

Thanks Falcons! That's the long, and much more accurate version of what I was alluding to.

even if I'm heretical and maybe get into the so-called "hell".
It is and remains the Sunday.
