Why Christian Don't Worship On Sabbath Day But Instead Sunday by yanshDoctor: 2:02pm On Jan 21, 2018
the Sabbath day is a memorial to mark the day God rested. that day was also picked by God an holy day and the day to worshiped Him as appeared in the 4-10th commandment lead by Moses.

1. You shall have no other gods before Me.

2. You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything.

3. You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God.

4. Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy.

Exodus 20:9
Six days you shall labor and do all your work,

Exodus 20:10
but the seventh day [is] the Sabbath of the LORD your God. [In it] you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who [is] within your gates.

Exodus 20:11
For [in] six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that [is] in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.


5. Honor your father and your mother.
6. You shall not murder.
7. You shall not commit adultery.
8. You shall not steal.
9. You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.
10. You shall not covet your neighbor's house, wife, or property.

But during Jesus Christ manifestation he broke the Sabbath day treaty or codes with God which the Jews never take likely with him for performing miracles. Jesus gave several reasons for disobeying the Sabbath, one of them is that a time is coming when people
will no longer need to come to Jerusalem to worship God. at that time he was talking in prophecy which had already fulfilled.

John 4:22
"You worship what you do not know; we know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews.

John 4:23
"But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him.

John 4:24
"God [is] Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth."



And the early Christian worship Christ because He was God and the day he roses from dead which is Sunday.

The Rome only mark Sunday a public holiday.

If Rome changed the Sabbath Resting to Sunday, it would only explain why Protestants and Roman Catholics worship on Sunday. It would not explain why Orthodox Christians worship on Sunday, and it certainly would not explain why Syriac, the Armenian, and Coptic Christians worship on Sunday, because they had very little contact with Rome until modern times. For example, the Armenian Apostolic Church does not celebrate Christmas, which originated in Rome in the fourth century. Instead, they celebrate the nativity of Jesus Christ on Epiphany. Rome could only have changed the day of worship before the fall of the Roman Empire, because after then communications weren’t good enough. However, during that period, Rome did not have much influence in the east.

Constantine converted to Christianity after winning the battle of the Milvian Bridge. He wasn’t a very bright man and he did not have a coherent personal theology. After he became emperor, he reformed the tax system, passed laws protecting widows and orphans, donated money to churches, and sent his mother Helen to the Holy Land to preserve and restore all those sites that tourists visit even today.

He passed a law that made all religions legal, and that ended the persecution of Christians. He convened and paid for the first ecumenical council in AD 325, but he was unable to understand the debates, let alone participate in them. He also changed the Roman week from ten days to seven days, so that Sunday, the Christian day of worship would always be a holiday. He did not make Christianity the state religion or do any of the other evil things often attributed to him—they were actually done by his successor, Theodosius, eighty years later. When Constantine instituted the seven-day week, he did it because Christians were already worshiping on Sunday and his purpose was to make it easier for them.
