Saturday was the Sabbath day. There are reasons why most Christians now worship on sudays. This does not make it a sin ,as long as you set a day aside to worship God.
Remember that Jesus said in Mark2:27 that "Sabbath was made for man and not man for the Sabbath".

the only reason why people worship on Sunday is because the catholic church changed it and the current Protestant churches are too ignorant or scared to change it back. Read it up.

"Sabbath was made for man". That statement was made when Jesus was trying to teach the people not to be too rigid on that day. That its alright to help people in distress on said day and not be to 'holy holy'. It in no way encourages swapping of the days.

Moreover, YOU do not choose the worship day. Your God has already chosen it for you and he says its the 7th day. Shikena!

Wow!
You need to explain to us what you wrote above especially setting aside a day to worship God.
The question still remain is Sunday or Saturday sabbath day?

Waiting for a better answer...

We are not under obligation to recognize any holy days. After the sacrifice of Jesus the only obligation we are under is LOVE, day in day out, 24-7, 365 days.

Besides who told you the Gregorian calendar accurately captures saturday as the day God rested?

what is love absent obedience? The first part of the 10 commandments talks about mans obligation to love God while the latter parts talks about his love for his fellow man. How can you say you wanna obey God without observing his instructions? You might as well worship other gods or make graven images or take his name in vain. Why specifically choose the fourth one to do away with?

Now, I don't know if the gregorian accurately portrays Saturday as the 7th day but since its what we use now then we might as well try to be as accurate as possible.

By the way, you're right. Constantine changed it to Sunday, not some flimsy excuse of a ressurection.

You are missing the point Jesus makes when He said there will come a time we would not need to worship at the temple mount because we shall worship in spirit and in truth. The law has being perfected in love. You don't need a specific day to worship God or to show love. This the what God wants above the following of "commandments".

ok. If the point is to worship in spirit and truth then why worship on Sunday at all? Why do majority of Christians nowadays call Sunday the Sabbath day Don't tell me you are not aware of that.

The OP asks which day is really the Sabbath and the correct answer, as accurate as possible with the gregorian calender is Saturday! Shikena. You are making a totally different argument here.

If for one reason or the other you choose to ignore it while striving to worship god in 'spirit and TRUTH' then its your own choice.

Saturday is the 7th day and therefore the Sabbath. If you choose not to observe it, its a different case but don't deny the fact.

Listen, get it right, the law (as delivered to the jews) has been fulfilled in Christ therefore there is no need for any sabbaths. Sunday is not a reflection of sabbath rather it is simply a day to gather with the brethren. Look at Acts 15 and specifically verses 28 and 29, the Apostle Peter said the burdens of the law which includes the sabbaths were not fulfilled by the jews so why place such burdens on the gentiles just coming into the faith?

Let us not place ourselves back under a burden we don't need to carry.

oga you are quite funny. Jesus said he didn't come to abolish the law. Remember? Matt 5:17-19, Matt 12:8

He even went to the synagogues to preach on sabbath days. Mark 6:2

When Jesus addressed the Sabbath issue he didn't even insinuate that we shouldn't keep it. The burden you're talking about is the unnecessary strain the priests put on the Sabbath, like insisting you mustnt do anything not even to help someone in distress. Matt 12:10-12

You carefully avoided where I said that most Christians now call Sunday the Sabbath day.

To be clear, the 10 commandments are not a burden. It was the rigid interpretations by the pharisees that were a burden. If the law is a burden why do away with just 1/10th of it? Have you done away with the others too?

Now to the OP, which day is the Sabbath day? Have you answered that?

P.S I read the whole of acts 15 and it in no way reinforces your argument. If anything, it does mine(first two sentences on 5th paragraph).

I agree with you. Days are no longer significant for the new creation who worship in the spirit.

I did not say Jesus abolished the law I said He fulfilled it. There is a difference. In fulfilling the law we go beyond the bounds of the law to do things in love both for God and for man. In loving God you and I don't need a sabbath or a special day to worship Him and to show Him how much He means to us.

I did not avoid that. Most christians are following tradition when they call sunday a sabbath; the apostles most definitely did not call sunday a sabbath.

If you walk in love and in the spirit you will go beyond the ten commandments. This is what Jesus was trying to say when He said if you look at a woman in lust you are sinning. We are to go beyond those commandments and the only way is through love. Even the rich young ruler who had obeyed the ten commandments from his youth up still lacked this essential ingredient.

My answer to the sabbath question still remains there is no need for any sabbaths. Worship God in spirit and in truth, 24-7, 365.

You are funny. I am rigid? I am turning the bible upside down? What a laugh! Read your bible and stop being held bound by tradition!

Jesus came to set you free not place you into bondage to the elements. Worship God in spirit and in truth everyday and anytime; don't wait for a special day or special place.

If that to you is twisting scripture you are very welcome.

Thanks for that quote. We are not burdened with respect for any "holy" days, we do what we do for LOVE!

are you serious? Did you read the quotations I gave up there? Have you answered the OP? My preconceptions indeed. Lmao.

You keep saying worship god in spirit and truth. What exactly does the truth part mean to you?

Obeying your Gods commandment is a burden? Ok o.

You said something about the rich man. When he asked Jesus things he ought to do, what was Jesus' first response? The law. Did it look like Jesus wanted Christians to do away with the law? The issue is that keeping the law religiously won't get you anywhere if you don't love your God and your fellow man but it in no way implies disregarding it. Ignoring a part of it is disobedience. Simple.

You can squirm all you want but if constantine and the catholic church hadn't changed it we won't be here having this argument.

Again, which day is the Sabbath day? Pls answer the OP. Whether you keep to it or not is a question for another day. Just answer the OP.
