    Because Sunday was instituted by the Apostles as the day of worship, in remembrance for Christ's resurrection. See the book of Acts.

    The Old Testament Sabbath was Saturday - the last day of the week. It was meant for the people of that time. Many Christians still worship on a Saturday and I have no problem with that, but the majority worship on the First day of the week (Sunday) because that was the day of the week when Jesus rose from the dead.

    Like the bread and wine of the communion service, Sunday worship is done in remembrance of Him.

    There are so many calendars produced now which show Monday as the first day of the week that many people now actually believe that Sunday is the last day, not the first. Saturday and Sunday are referred to as 'the weekend' when actually they are 'both ends' of the week or, if you prefer, the 'beginning and the end' of the week.

    I think that God was setting a precedent when He worked for six days then took a day of rest. I'm not convinced that He holds as much importance to WHICH day we rest as we do. He is saying that after six days work we all need to take a rest and the actual day that we take our rest will often be determined by the work we do.

    In Colossians 2:16-17, Paul explicitly refers to the Sabbath as a shadow of Christ, which is no longer binding since the substance (Christ) has come. It is quite clear in those verses that the weekly Sabbath is in view. The phrase "a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day" refers to the annual, monthly, and weekly holy days of the Jewish calendar (cf. 1 Chronicles 23:31; 2 Chronicles 2:4; 31:3; Ezekiel 45:17; Hosea 2:11). If Paul were referring to special ceremonial dates of rest in that passage, why would he have used the word "Sabbath?" He had already mentioned the ceremonial dates when he spoke of festivals and new moons.

    The Sabbath was the sign to Israel of the Mosaic Covenant (Exodus 31:16-17; Ezekiel 20:12; Nehemiah 9:14). Since we are now under the New Covenant (Hebrews 8), we are no longer required to observe the sign of the Mosaic Covenant.

    The New Testament never commands Christians to observe the Sabbath.

    In our only glimpse of an early church worship service in the New Testament, the church met on the first day of the week (Acts 20:7).

    Nowhere in the Old Testament are the Gentile nations commanded to observe the Sabbath or condemned for failing to do so. That is certainly strange if Sabbath observance were meant to be an eternal moral principle.

    There is no evidence in the Bible of anyone keeping the Sabbath before the time of Moses, nor are there any commands in the Bible to keep the Sabbath before the giving of the law at Mt. Sinai.

    When the Apostles met at the Jerusalem council (Acts 15), they did not impose Sabbath keeping on the Gentile believers.

    The apostle Paul warned the Gentiles about many different sins in his epistles, but breaking the Sabbath was never one of them.

    In Galatians 4:10-11, Paul rebukes the Galatians for thinking God expected them to observe special days (including the Sabbath).

    In Romans 14:5, Paul forbids those who observe the Sabbath (these were no doubt Jewish believers) to condemn those who do not (Gentile believers).

    The early church fathers, from Ignatius to Augustine, taught that the Old Testament Sabbath had been abolished and that the first day of the week (Sunday) was the day when Christians should meet for worship (contrary to the claim of many seventh-day sabbatarians who claim that Sunday worship was not instituted until the fourth century).

    Sunday has not replaced Saturday as the Sabbath. Rather the Lord's Day is a time when believers gather to commemorate His resurrection, which occurred on the first day of the week. Every day to the believer is one of Sabbath rest, since we have ceased from our spiritual labor and are resting in the salvation of the Lord (Hebrews 4:9-11).

    So while we still follow the pattern of designating one day of the week a day for the Lord's people to gather in worship, we do not refer to this as "the Sabbath."

    As Christians we have faith Jesus is the Son of God. there are various places contained in the bible the place Jesus says he's the Son of God and God is His father and the only thank you to the father is thru Him.

The bible tells us that once Jesus there'll be many which will declare to be of God, yet that they are fake prophets and that's the reason we don't think Muhammed grew to become right into a prophet or the quran is the notice of God. This below no circumstances is meant to offend, that's purely the ideals of Christians. EDIT: Anakhsat...: Her question grew to become into no longer rude in any way. for people who suggested Christ did no longer say he grew to become into God. there are various verses the place He says he's the Son of God and God is His Father. As to the bible changing to maintain up with the cases it somewhat is definitely fake. there is extremely little with regard to the bible that has replaced from the unique texts different than some misspellings and in case you will seek the internet you will locate that. regardless of the indisputable fact that by way of fact maximum of those websites at the instant are not Islamic that's uncertain which you will pay heed. Why are all of you giving thumbs all the way down to the glaring Christians. this question grew to become into approximately Christians' ideals and we are answering you approximately our ideals as asked. of direction you disagree with the solutions by way of fact it is going against your faith, regardless of the indisputable fact that the question wasn't approximately your faith, it grew to become into approximately ours.
