Sabbath day is not the Sunday?

Question

I’m Christian. I though Sunday is the Sabbath day.
Then my friend said the Sabbath day is not the Sunday and Sunday service is not the teaching of the bible.
What happen? It’s unbelievable!

Answer 1

Today, we refer to the days of the week as 'Sundaay, Monday, Tuesday,' and no longer 'the first day, the second day, the third day.' Our present-day system was developed in Rome where people decided to call the first day of the week 'Sunday,' the second day 'Monday,' the third day 'Tuesday,' and the seventh day 'Saturday.'



1) A calendar week has seven days; Sunday is the first day and Saturday is the seventh day.



2) Think about the word. "Weekend." Which day does the 'end' of the 'week' indicate?



3) Even in the dictionary, Sunday is defined as 'the first day of the week,' and Saturday as 'the seventh day of the week.'



4) The Bible also testifies that the seventh day, the Sabbath day, is Saturday.



Mark 16:9 (When Jesus rose early on the first day of the week...)



Jesus resurrected on the first day of the week. No one argues that Jesus resurrected on Sunday-the 'first day of the week'-which is why all Christians now celebrate Resurrection Day on Sunday. In the Good News Bible, this verse is written, 'After Jesus rose from death early on Sunday...'



Since the first day of the week is Sunday, what day is the seventh day? Through the Bible, we can confirm that the Sabbath day is Saturday.



After the apostles died, Christianity spread to western regions, including Rome. The gospel was preached to sun-god worshipers, and in the early 4th century, even the Roman emperor had heard the message of Christ. The emperor happened to be a leader of the sun-god worshipers, and when he converted to Christianity, many sun-god worshipers began to attend Church. As time passed, the faith of the Christians weakened, and they began to accept the customs of the sun-god worshipers. During this turn-over, they even began to rest and to worship on the first day of the week [Sunday]. In A.D. 321, Constantine, a Roman emperor, decreed an edict:



"All judges, city-people and craftsmen shall rest on the venerable day of the Sun."



Some argue that the abolishment of the Sabbath compelled many people to convert to Christianity, but we must not forget that altering God's commandments was Satan's scheme. Satan, the devil, opposes God and has historically harassed God's people, using various methods.



He tried to destroy the Church of God through severe persecution. But, taking a close look at history, the more that God's people were persecuted, the more that they depended on God. When Satan changed his methods of persecution, however, and praised the Church, he tempted the Christians to combine their faiths together. They were given back the properties that had been taken from them, ministers were exempted from military service, and the Church was even given the right to emancipate slaves. Through all of these outwardly positive changes to the Church, the Christians unwittingly fell into Satan's schemes and knelt down before him. They turned their backs away from God, like an ignorant bear who doesn't realize that his gallbladder is going to be stolen, only focusing on the sweet candy he is being tempted with.



God clearly said that only he who does the will of God can enter the kingdom of heaven (Matt. 7:21-23). Which day should we worship God to please Him, Sunday which most people keep, or the Sabbath, Saturday, which God commanded His people to keep? It is unnecessary to reveal the answer, because the Sabbath day is clearly Saturday.

Answer 2

☆ Sabbath day is seventh day.



Gen. 2:1-3 『Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array. By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done.』



☆seventh day is saturday.



1) A calendar week has seven days; Sunday is the first day and Saturday is the seventh day.



2) Think about the word. "Weekend." Which day does the 'end' of the 'week' indicate?



3) Even in the dictionary, Sunday is defined as 'the first day of the week,' and Saturday as 'the seventh day of the week.'



4) The Bible also testifies that the seventh day, the Sabbath day, is Saturday.



Mark 16:9 (When Jesus rose early on the first day of the week...)



Jesus resurrected on the first day of the week. No one argues that Jesus resurrected on Sunday-the 'first day of the week'-which is why all Christians now celebrate Resurrection Day on Sunday. In the Good News Bible, this verse is written, 'After Jesus rose from death early on Sunday...'



Since the first day of the week is Sunday, what day is the seventh day? Through the Bible, we can confirm that the Sabbath day is Saturday.



Mark 7:6-9 『He [Jesus] replied, "Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you hypocrites; as it is written: "'These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. They worship me in vain; their teachings are but rules taught by men.' You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to the traditions of men." And he said to them: "You have a fine way of setting aside the commands of God in order to observe your own traditions!"』



The Church of God was established on the foundation of the apostles who followed the teachings of Jesus Christ, and it has not changed since its inception. The true Church follows the laws which Jesus and the apostles observed.



No matter how many members a church has, if the church has different doctrines than those of Jesus Christ, it could not have originated from Jesus. We keep the Sabbath day—the memorial day of the Creator—not observing the law of the Old Testament, but following the law of the new covenant which Jesus and the apostles obeyed.



The saints, who will be saved on the last day, the day of God's judgment, are those who follow in Jesus' footsteps. The Sabbath day, one of Christ's footmarks, is a very precious commandment of God.

Answer 3

The Sabbath Day

The Church of God, that has received the Second Coming Christ Ahnsahnghong, keeps the Sabbath on Saturday, according to the Bible. The seventh-day Sabbath is the day on which God rested from creating the heavens and the earth. Most Christians are mistaken as to what day the seventh-day Sabbath is, believing it to be Sunday, even though the Bible testifies that the Sabbath is Saturday. And they do not keep the Sabbath day, being bound to their customs, even though they realize that the Sabbath is actually Saturday.



The Bible warns us not to add or subtract even the smallest letter from the Bible.



Rev. 22:18-19 『I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book. And if anyone takes words away from this book of prophecy, God will take away from him his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.』

Answer 4

If that floors you, wait til you hear the part about the day starting at sundown and not midnight. That's right every day goes from sundown to sundown. The Sabbath is Saturday in modern times.

As a Christian, the day of the week shouldn't matter as long as we assemble to worship and praise the Godhead.

Answer 6

For so many years the Sabbath have not being kept. But if the Sabbath is in the Bible, why is it that the churches don't keep it.

In order to worship God correctly we need to understand the truth. When Christ Ahnsahnghong came in 1948 He began to preach about the truth that is hidden in the Bible. Even though people do not believe, these are the teaching of God for our salvation. Christ Ahnsahnghong clearly testify that the Sabbath is the day we need to worship God.



The Old Testament is a shadow and a copy of the New Testament. Thus, the law of the Old Testament was a shadow of the good things that were to come in the New Testament times (Heb. 10:1). The Sabbath day in the Old Testament was called "the Sabbath of Jehovah" (Ex. 31:13; Ezek. 20:12), while the Sabbath day in the New Testament was called "the Sabbath of Jesus" (Matt. 12:8; Luke 6:5).



The Sabbath day, according to the Old Testament law, was only a copy; the Sabbath day of the new covenant, kept in Christ, is the reality. In the New Testament times, the apostles kept the Sabbath day by worshiping God in spirit and in truth, following Jesus Christ's example. Jesus kept the Sabbath as His custom.



Luke 4:16 "He went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom...."



In the New Testament times, the Sabbath day is referred to as "Jesus' [the Lord's] day" because the true Lord of the Sabbath is Jesus Christ. "For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath" (Matt. 12:8; Luke 6:5). The apostles kept the Sabbath day as the "Lord's [Jesus'] day."



Rev. 1:10 "On the Lord's Day I was in the Spirit..."



The way the Sabbath was kept in the Old Testament was different and when the New Testament times began, the way in which God's people were to keep the Sabbath day was changed; however, the day the Sabbath was to be commemorated was never changed. In the Old Testament times, God's people offered burnt offerings and could not even kindle a fire in their houses, while in New Testament times, people worshipped God in spirit and in truth (John 4:23). The day itself could not be changed because it was on the seventh day that God had rested from all of His creating work. The apostles kept the Sabbath day as their custom, reasoning from the Scriptures as follows:



Acts 17:2 "As his custom was, Paul went into the synagogue, and on three Sabbath days he reasoned with them from the Scriptures..."



Acts 20:6-7 "But we sailed from Philippi after the Feast of Unleavened Bread, and five days later joined the others at Troas, where we stayed seven days. On the first day of the week we came together to break bread..." (to celebrate the resurrection of Christ, and they broke bread)



Act 18:3-4 "Paul went to see them, and because he was a tentmaker as they were, he stayed and worked with them. Every Sabbath he reasoned in the synagogue, trying to persuade Jews and Greeks."



The disciples kept not only the Sabbath but also the Feast of God, the Feast of Unleavened Bread, which is the day after the Passover, and the Resurrection, which is the day after the Sabbath. You can read the whole book of Acts and you will perfectly see that Apostle Paul and other disciples meet on the Sabbath day. Quoting (Act 20:6-7) does not means that Apostle Paul meet regularly on Sunday, but specifically on that day he meet to fulfill the feast of First Fruits representing the Resurrection of Christ which is a Sunday.



It was thanks to the coming of our Father Christ Ahn Sahng Hong that we can be 100% sure of the true way to worship God. All thanks and honor to our Heavenly Father Ahn Sahng Hong. Now many Churches of God keep the Sabbath Day around the world, and through the grace and mercy of Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother all children of God are gathering together to receive the sign of the eternal rest. Church of God teachings are all based in the Bible and they are 100%, the reason is because Christ Ahnsahnghong is true Almighty God.



God bless you :)

Answer 7

we're going to study on what day of the week we must worship God to receive His blessing and holiness.





God blessed the seventh day and made it holy.



Ge 2:3 God blessed the seventh day and made it holy.



On what day must we worship God to receive blessings and holiness from Him? (Seventh day) Do you think you can get God's blessing and holiness when you worship God on another day? (No) Only those who keep the seventh day will receive blessing and holiness from God. Now let's find out what God called the seventh day.



Ex 20:8-11 Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy.



What did God name the seventh day? God named it the Sabbath day and commanded us to "remember" the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. God already knew His people would "forget" about the Sabbath day. Do all Christians keep the Sabbath nowadays as God commanded?

Do you know what day of the week is the Biblical Sabbath? It is Saturday. Let me show you some evidences for a clearer understanding.

First, we can understand Saturday is the Sabbath through the calendar. When you go from the first to the seventh day on the calendar, you can easily understand Saturday is the seventh day. What about Sunday? It is the first day of the week, not the seventh day.

Secondly, we can learn Saturday is the Sabbath through a dictionary. When you refer to the dictionary, it says Saturday is the seventh and the last day of the week. What about Sunday? It says Sunday is the first day of the week.

Finally, we can learn that Saturday is the Sabbath through the Bible.



Mk 16:9 When Jesus rose early on the first day of the week.



This is about Jesus' resurrection. Jesus resurrected on the first day of the week. The Good News Bible says the first day is Sunday ("Very early on Sunday morning," Mark 16:9, TEV). Now that Sunday is the first day, naturally the seventh day is Saturday, the Biblical Sabbath. Therefore, we have to worship God on Saturday to receive blessing and holiness from Him.



As we have studied, Saturday is the Sabbath when we must worship God. Think about it. Why do many people insist on going to church on Sunday?



Jn 8:47 He who belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God.



God tells His people to keep the Sabbath day. All Christians who belong to God must celebrate Saturday, the Sabbath day. Sunday is the day of the sun-god, which came from Rome. Who do you wish to worship, the one true God or the sun-god?





Finally let's find out through the Bible who can enter the kingdom of heaven.



Mt 7:21 Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.



Which one is God's will, Sunday or the Sabbath in the light of the Bible? (The Sabbath) You must keep the Sabbath, God's will, if you really want to enter the kingdom of heaven. God bless you.

Answer 8

hmm? Its us humans that named the days of the week, Sat, Sun, Mon, Tues etc etc..

It doesnt matter what day of the week as long as you choose every 7th day as a day of rest.. .. I dont think its the "exact" day as so much as you need to just choose a 7th day and rest and worship on that day..
