How Was Sunday Chosen As A Sacred Day? by KelvinKelt(m): 8:37am On Nov 22, 2015
Sunday is considered the 1st day of the week, while Saturday takes the 7th position(the last day of the week). However, the account of creation states that: God commenced the work of creation on the 1st day(Sunday), when the earth was without form & void. The work of creation continued in ernest till the sixth day(Friday). The last thing God created was man in His image & likeness; with a mandate to pilot the affairs of the earth. On the seventh day(saturday), God rested, blessed it & commanded it to be kept holy. Saturday was also regarded as the Sabbath day. In the days of Moses, a decree was released:"remember the sabbath day & keep it holy." Today, it is only the Seventh Day Adventis church that observed this obligation; the sabbath day(Saturday). Christians all over the world made their divine worship unto God on Sunday, except The Seventh Day Adventis Church. The questions now are: how was Sunday selected as a sacred day? Who released the decree? Is it in line with the scripture? Are the Seventh Day Adventis right? I've been pondering on this issue for quite a long time now. Moderators, please let the people debate on this, thanks.

Saturday is the Sabbath day, not Sunday.
Sunday is the day of the sun.

Romans 14. 5 One person considers one day more sacred than another; another considers every day alike. Each of them should be fully convinced in their own mind.6 Whoever regards one day as special does so to the Lord. Whoever eats meat does so to the Lord, for they give thanks to God; and whoever abstains does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God.

Pls which version of the bible is this? The sacred day was selected & sealed by God not man. All this change came about as a result of advancement in human knowledge. I suspect the white men culture.

According to the Bible, the
Sabbath or Saturday is the last
day of the week which marks
Sunday as the first day of the
week for many Jewish and
Christian faiths, while many
countries regard Monday as the
first day of the week.

And how did you come to consider Monday the first day of the week?
And, are we to assume that you made the rules?

So whats your point when you told him Sunday is Sun day?

Because Sun worship was the basis of designating Sunday as a special day in the Roman Empire, a practice the Roman founders of today's Christianity adopted for the sake of appeasing and synchronizing with the Pagan traditions of Rome.

Do not forget, that Christianity ,the Roman universal Church, or Roman Catholica, was a contrivance of convenience, a mish mash of beliefs, dogmas and traditions patched together, and meant to appeal to and unify all the disparate parts of the Roman Empire.

Fool, Sunday is not sacred, never was. Sunday meetings in all likelihood became a tradition seeing Jesus Christ resurrected on Sunday.

Lol.
Who is we ?

But you buy things, you buy fuel, you consume electricity, you call the police, the ambulance, doctors, etc on Sundays when you need them.

For your information, majority of countries in the world conduct all commerce on Sundays.

Africans are just lazy, non-productive people. That's why you don't work on Sundays.

My dear, I got a clue of ur point that Sunday is selected by virtue of Christ resurrection on easter Sunday. A wonderful point u just raised but not enough for u to call ur fellow man: "fool." Remember that the holy scripture forbids this. Pls lets debate like matured ppl. Thanks for ur contribution.

I would call it a day set aside to God for divine worship. There are no sacred days,weeks,months or years with God.

Since there is a great consensus on setting apart Sunday for fellowship, it is extremely expedient from me to set it apart for fellowship. Common sense. Compare it with market days. What benefits are associated with having a COMMON day for traders and buyers?

I salute ur point but if we are to by the original intent of God, it wasn't meant to be so. Works on sunday came as a result of western culture. The advancement in human knowledge has brought so much changes to the original intent of God. Remember the same ppl said man was not created by God, but rather, man evolved from a higher animal(gorilla). I see all these as a means of discrediting God's divine wisdom.

Half of my adult life I have lived with philosophers and atheists and antitheists especially antiChristians, people who are addicted to throwing jabs at Christianity. Funny thing is I was one of them. It was never sufficient doubting Christians, I felt I had a duty to attack and confront them. You'd be surprised that my library has more of Dawkins and the likes.

So when I call you amateur, you should take that as a compliment or pure flattery
