Says who ...a day to worship is among the 10 commandments give by God himself

Tithe us just series of laws given in Deuteronomy so what's your point ?

The Gentiles are not bound by the laws given by God to the children of Israel to live their lives.

Believing in Jesus and becoming a Christian doesnt mean you must do everything God gave the Israelites as laws in the old testament.

Hello Nairaland Christians, have you for once wondered why you christains worship on Sundays and not the Sabbath day.

If you study your Bible well, you will realize that when GOD was done with his creations,he rested on the Seventh day and blessed it saying we should keep it holy.

Now, looking at the days of the week, the seventh day of the week is Saturday and not Sunday.Sunday is the first day of a new week.
So,why do we worship on Sundays and not the seventh day of the week?
Are we really following God's commandments at all or we are just deceiving ourselves?

Hmm. They do so because Paul the Apostle was trying to divert the minds of people on those days from Saturday(Sabbath day, Holy day of Judaism) to Sunday(which should become the holy day of the christians instead).

Anyways, nowadays as Jehovah remain in his SPIRITUAL CAGE, Sunday is gradually becoming a normal day as many people don't go to church anymore.

It's AGE OF AQUARIUS, we are experiencing mind evolution to take us past the lies of religions into the truth of SCIENCE.

Saturday is not the 7th day God rested. The Bible didn't tell us the particular day God rested but He rested after working for six days.

Remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy.

But Sunday is not the Sabbath day, it's Saturday.

It was doctrine/ignorance of men that fixed Sunday as Sabbath/holy day.

Saturday is not the 7th day God rested. But the Jews chose it as their Sabbath day.
The Bible is silent on the day God started Creation though He rested after 6 days.

“One of the best of your days is Friday. On it Adam was created and on it he died. On it the Trumpet will be blown and on it all creatures will perish (prior to the Resurrection on the Last Day)."


-- [narrated in the collection of Muslim, in the Chapter on Friday, Hadith 1410]

He also said:


“The best day on which the sun rises is Friday. On this day Adam was created, on this day he entered Paradise and on this day he was expelled from it.”


-- [narration in the collections Abu Dawood and An-Nisaa'i and classed as correct by Al-Albani]

Given that it is regarded as the best day, this seems to be the primary reason that the weekly congregational prayer is on that day.

Formally during the reign of the Roman Emperor by name Clandestine 11, Christians normally worshipped on Saturday which was the sabbath day then but when the Rome was at the verge of breaking because of the fight btw the pagans and Christians, the emperor formed an hybrid religion by merging Christian and pagan religion together so Christians who used to worship on Saturday started worshipping on Sunday which was the day pagans go to worship the Sunday.

Sunday is the first day of the week.
God rested on the 7th day that's why sabbath was observe on Saturday during the Israelites time.
When Jesus came he dine with his disciples the day after sabbath day which is Sunday, Jesus also woke up on Sunday.
Jesus commanded us to gather on the first day of the week

Bible should be ur guide not emotion

And what part of my statement was based on emotion?

Is it the fact that the old testament is not binding on christains again or christains are to worship God on the first day of the week?

Tell me where I'm wrong.

Worship is a lifestyle and not something limited to a particular day or place. Why worship on a particular day and then do evil on other days. It doesn't make sense at all.
Until our worship is 24/7 and done everywhere, we are wasting our time.

Exodus 34:21
Six days you shall labor, but on the seventh day you shall rest; even during the plowing season and harvest you must rest.

If you work from Monday -Saturday(6days) and rest on Sunday then Sunday is your sabbath day. The Bible didn't mention Monday nor Saturday if you find yourself in a country where they work from Wednesday-Monday then the next day Tuesday is your sabbath.

After God brought His people out of Egypt and through the Red Sea, the Sabbath day took on even more significance as a covenant sign that God sanctified His people (Ex. 31:13). On that day, the saints celebrated the reality that God had created them and that their rest was rooted in His rest: "For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day" (Ex. 20:8-11). As well, the Sabbath signified that God had redeemed His people (Deut. 5:12-15). Finally, the annual Day of Atonement fell on a Sabbath (Lev. 16:30-31), so the Sabbath also celebrated God's forgiveness of His people.

Under the old covenant with Israel (Ex. 19; Heb. 8:6, 7, 13), the Sabbath day was extremely strict. Not only was no work to be done by the Israelites and their children, they also were to give rest to all in their households—servants, livestock, even sojourners (Ex. 20:10). God even gave regulatory laws over what could and could not be done. For example, if one even went out to gather sticks on the Sabbath in order to kindle a fire (Num. 15:32-36; Ex. 35:1-3), he was to be put to death (Ex. 31:14-15; 35:2). All this strictness was a part of the tutelage of the law, which was meant to lead Israel by the hand to Jesus Christ (Gal. 3:24), who is the final sacrifice ending the old covenant (Heb. 7:11-12, 18-19; 8:7, 13).

When Jesus rose from the dead on the first day of the week, things changed. Christ, the second Adam, "finished" (John 19:30) the work that the first Adam failed to do (Rom. 5:12-19). Because of that pivotal event, the church determined that for Christians under the new covenant, the day of worship and celebration of the Lord's grace in Jesus Christ was to be the first day of the week, Sunday: "From the beginning of the world to the resurrection of Christ, [the Sabbath] was the last day of the week; and, from the resurrection of Christ, was changed into the first day of the week, which, in Scripture, is called the Lord's day, and is to be continued to the end of the world, as the Christian Sabbath" (WCF, 21:7). On this day, we are reminded of and participate in the glorious reality that we have already entered God's rest (Matt. 11:28; Heb. 4:10) and that we await the experience of the fullness of this rest in eternity in the new heavens and new earth (Rev. 21-22). We now assemble corporately for worship and enjoy a foretaste of our eternal rest, then go out into the kingdom of this world to work for six days.

So why do we worship on Sunday and not Saturday?

•The first day of the week was the day on which our Lord rose from the dead (John 20:1; cf. Ps. 118:24).

•The first day of the week is called "the Lord's day" (Rev. 1:10; cf. 1 Cor. 16:2).
The first day was the day on which the Holy Spirit was poured out on the church (Acts 2:1-36).

•Just as on the first day of creation God made light and separated it from the darkness, we gather on the first day of the week to celebrate the light of the gospel in Jesus Christ, who has separated us from the world of the darkness of sin (John 1:5, 9; 3:19; 8:12; 2 Cor. 4:1-6).

Islam commands Muslims to pray on Friday check Quran(62:9), the verse is there see for yourself. You can check the verse online.
But as a christian you don't have reason or verse from the Bible, as an evidence where you are told to " to go to church on Sunday ".
So why are you going to church?, oh I remember is for business as usual.
But the someone can say that christian don't have a worshipping center/place. This is similar to saying the don't have have a religion because each religion has a worshipping place from their scripture.

Jesus didn't promote any old laws nor reject them.





Remember in the old testament that it is required to offer burnt offerings when anyone go against the law.

But now no one does that today.

It doesn't make those laws invalid but we simply dont do it anymore.

[color=#990000]

My Questions are
1. Is it God that name days Sunday, Monday etc
2. How do you knew that God rested on the Seventh when no one was there and the bible was discovered hundred years after the death of Jesus Christ.
3. How do you know that Sunday is correct day that God rested since there is no calenders during Creation.
4. Adam and Eve are the first human creation do they worship on Sunday too.

Please I'm here to learn ooooo
