    There are many who believe that the whole point of the "sabbath" under Jesus was to make sure we had a rest day, not necessarily which day that was. So as long as you take a day to rest and honor God, you are OK.

    Of course, there are some strict Christians out there that will disagree strongly, as even some disagree with the Sunday sabbath. But as pointed out, most priests take Monday off as they work Sunday!

    Pray on it and let God lead you.

    ****In scripture you are encuraged to put God to the test: So why not apply putting God to the test on to which day is the Sabbath. Many well meaning Christians who have kept Sunday or what ever day as the Sabbath will be in heaven. And for God's reasons not mans own many will not be. Just the same put Him to the test. Ask Him with your whole heart.

    Your thought is one of most Christians today. Traditional thinking of most Christians and Jews says that the Sabbath was given for the Jews and the Jews only. But the concept of a day of rest was given in the Garden of Eden. That was long before there was a deciding of who was Jew and who was Gentile. In the Ten Commandments we are told to keep the Seventh Day Holy. The commandment does not say pick one day out of seven, it states a day. Then I might point out that it is clear that Jesus died on Friday, rested in death on Saturday and rose on Easter Sunday. Now if you are actually observing a day as the Sabbath, like actually observing it then good for you. Most Christians go to church then do not observe the day as holy at all. But if your concept is: Does it matter, does it really matter? Then try this. Try observing the Bible Sabbath (Saturday) just once. Pray like this: Pray God if this matters to you what day I observe just pour out your blessing. IF it does not matter then pour out your blessing to me on a Monday when I am resting. You really need to put God to the test.

    hi, Sunday is properly known because of the fact the Sabbath because of the fact the early church fathers of the Roman Catholic Church replaced the day of celebration of the Sabbath to Sunday - The Day of the sunlight. Constantine - the real first Pope, and a Roman Emperor, became into greater attracted to uniting the Roman empire politically by skill of uniting all the religions of the time decrease than one unified state faith, he chosen Chrisitianity because of the fact the up and coming faith of the circumstances. basically on the grounds which you have the could to do something, does no longer mean you have the splendid to do something. sunlight day is the classic pagan day named for the pagan practice of sunlight Worship, based interior the astrological technological expertise of the planets. As Christianity is an offshoot of Judiaism, they the two all started with Saturday sabbaths. there is not any biblical info of the splendid to alter the day formally. The Catholic church claims that they had the splendid to alter it, and that maximum different Christian denominations nevertheless use it fairly is info that they have been justified and good for doing so. The Protestants basically form of inherited Sunday worship. the real Sabbath is Saturday, however the perfect concern is do you carry the Sabbath sacred and holy which ever day you rejoice? Jesus Christ himself, advised us that the Sabbath became into made for guy, no longer guy for the Sabbath. interior the circumstances to return the real Sabbath would be reinstated. until that component, Do what's stable on your guy or woman heart, and allow others to do an identical, so as that it isn't sin unto you.

    Numbers 15:32-36

    While the Israelites were in the desert, a man was found gathering wood on the Sabbath day. Those who found him gathering wood brought him to Moses and Aaron and the whole assembly, and they kept him in custody, because it was not clear what should be done to him. Then the LORD said to Moses, “The man must die. The whole assembly must stone him outside the camp.” So the assembly took him outside the camp and stoned him to death, as the LORD commanded Moses.

    doesnt sound like you have a choice what day the sabbath is.

    If it's ever possible to have Friday evening off, that's the Sabbath,

    but you can think about it even while working.

    Sabbath is the 7th day, people can't just make it up, or that

    is a tradition of man.

    The majority believe the Sabbath is from Friday sunset to Saturday sunset (that's what I believe anyway). I remember a verse stating that we should not judge people on what they eat, or what days they keep holy (sorry for not remembering the verse). Anyway, having a day entirely devoted to Jesus couldn't possibly be a bad thing.

    Make up your mind freely, no one can judge you so long as you act in faith for the Word says...

    Romans 14:5-6 Some people think that a certain day is more important than other days, while others think that all days are the same. We each should firmly make up our own minds.

    Those who think highly of a certain day do so in honor of the Lord; those who will eat anything do so in honor of the Lord, because they give thanks to God for the food. Those who refuse to eat certain things do so in honor of the Lord, and they give thanks to God.

    It is making yourself Greater than G*D = idolatry of self. The Catholic church admitted they on their OWN authority changed the day of worship, NOT any biblical mandate to do so. G*D set the appointments with us, we can not change them. The biblical day begins at sundown. The 7th day is Friday sundown and lasts 25 hours.
