Christians Why Do Most Of Us Worship On Sunday Instead Of Saturday by Nobody: 6:27am On Sep 20, 2015
I've been really bothered about this as a Christian, the Scriptures commands us to rest and worship Yehovah on Saturday, but that's not the case...Sunday which is the 1st day of the week is now set aside for worship...And why is nobody talking about this??Why do our pastors and churches turn blind eyes to parts of the Scriptures that they are not comfortable with?abi are we meant to choose the laws we like and avoid the rest??

Pardon the lenghty write up..


SUNDAY is not the sabbath day , SATURDAY is aΩ̴̩̩̩̥d̶̲̥̅̊ as SeventhdayAdventists we observe aΩ̴̩̩̩̥d̶̲̥̅̊ recognize d day as the Sabbath day.


But just as U̶̲̥̅̊ clearly stated nearly the entire Christian world goes to church abd worships on sunday. Why is dt ? This is because the Sabbath was changed from Saturday to Sunday.

aΩ̴̩̩̩̥d̶̲̥̅̊ We go to Church on a specific day of the week because of the sabbath commandment. The ten commandment can be found in Exodus 20:3-17. GOD has nt only given us he command to keep the sabbath holy, but has also told us how to keep it holy. Read Exodus20:8-11. This commandment tells us that GOD's sabbath is the seventh day of the week. GODs holy sabbath day is saturday. Sunday is the first day of the week.

Many claim today that d Old testament was abolished by the new testament n so no longer applies to Us, but remember 2timothy 3:16 'All scriptures is given by inspiration of GOD' (U̶̲̥̅̊ may read further on ur own) this verse specifically refers to d Old testament aΩ̴̩̩̩̥d̶̲̥̅̊ it tells us the Old testament is just as much in force today as when it was written... The verse also indicates that all d commandements will be in effect forever, d Sabbath Law inclusive. Even JESUS always kept the Sabbath while here on earth (Luke4:16)@least dt was a New testament era aΩ̴̩̩̩̥d̶̲̥̅̊ JESUS had d custom of keeping the Sabbath. So whose steps are we supposed to follow ? Ur Pastors or what thr bible truly says? Pls read d scriptures with an open heart aΩ̴̩̩̩̥d̶̲̥̅̊ you will find truth, a lot of this were changed by Man himself to suit his selfish aΩ̴̩̩̩̥d̶̲̥̅̊ satanic tendencies dnt be deceived by any1, if CHRIST did it, den it is d right thing to do....

Re: Christians Why Do Most Of Us Worship On Sunday Instead Of Saturday by ggirl4real: 7:10am On Sep 20, 2015
But OP, is it only on Saturdays you worship God?

Don't you attend church activities on other days of the week?

Why not do all activities only on Saturdays since it is the Sabbath Day?

I attend church sometimes five days in a week. Should I do that only on Saturdays?

All I'm saying is that the day one goes to church should not be the issue(Saturday or Sunday). The paramount thing is that we are going to worship God which we can even do in our homes but to fulfil that part of the scriptures that says "...Do no forsake the assembly of yourselves together...", we gather in "church".

OP if you wan look this matter like that, you go get headache ooo

Re: Christians Why Do Most Of Us Worship On Sunday Instead Of Saturday by timilehing(m): 7:16am On Sep 20, 2015
Let me clearly explain things to you:
Sunday is the last day of the week not Saturday. If you're to greet anyone today, you say "A ku weekend" in Yoruba. Even telecommunication companies will introduce their plans covering Saturday and Sunday as "Weekend plans". I seriously don't understand why you guys keep referring to Sunday as 1st day of the week.
God started His work on the first day & first day of work is what? Monday not Sunday. You don't start anything with rest, you only rest at the end of work & Sunday is the only day not included as working day officially (worldwide) except for some special jobs.

The new trend of Saying Sunday is the first day was started by Pastors & followers trying to start new week religiously since it's easier to say "this week is your week" than saying "next week is your week"

It's so confusing that on Monday, you hear people greeting themselves "Happy new week", if Sunday is the first day, why are they not using such greeting on Sunday.?

To what end is this dogmatism of yours huh


No one just decides anything. You saw her wrote christ resurrected on a sunday is the reason for that


So I wonder what you intend to achieve with this stupid post of yours

It's not as if you would quit your church if someone elaborates, but just a bid to argue


Don't you have something better to do huh .

It's okay. This issue is a complicated one coz you'll hear contradicting views. This is one reason I always wish God had a house here on earth and comes visiting from time to time, this your question would have been answered long ago.

Focus on worshipping God, whether Monday or any other day. God is still God in all the days of the week.

If the resurrection changed the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday, wouldn't the disciples have known? But they continue worshipping on Saturday throughout d Bible. Luke 23:55-56, Acts 17:2, 18:4, etc.
Re: Christians Why Do Most Of Us Worship On Sunday Instead Of Saturday by Eyop:
Even Catholics attend mass on Saturdays and weekdays same with other churches (living faith,Redeem,Deeper Life,etc). So if there's an issue with whether to observe Saturday or Sunday as the Sabbath day,then those having issues with that better observe both days. Case closed

If you fail to obey one command ,you are guilty of breaking all the commands (james 2:10) U̶̲̥̅̊ are guilty of all, think abt it.. JESUS himself observed/kept the SabbathDay holy, so why cant you if U̶̲̥̅̊ truly are 'CHRISTIAN-Christlike'' ?

I'm embarrassed at your insult. It's a common knowledge that Christ resurrected on Sunday, which the Bible calls the first day of the week. The following Bible passages established beyond doubt that the 7th day is the Sabbath. Matt 28: 1-5, Mk 16:1-5, Luke 24:1-4, John 20:1-5.

Besides, a look at your dictionary will define Sunday as d 1st day of d week. Check your calendar, most of them starts with Sunday as d 1st day of d week.

That Sunday is d 1day of d week is a general knowledge n settled fact. God bless.

Oh spare me these craps. I could say it still didn't prove it but to save my time


I m aware of those biblical verses and don't dispute the facts However, passages of Scripture such as Acts 20:7, 1
Corinthians 16:2, Colossians 2:16-17, and Revelation
1:10 indicate that, even during New Testament times,
the Sabbath is no longer binding and that Christians
are to worship on the Lord’s day, Sunday, instead.



So you see why I am more than mortified at your jewish dogmatism.


Have a blessed lords-Sun/abbath-day !

Scripture never mentions any Sabbath (Saturday) gatherings by believers for fellowship or worship. However, there are clear passages that mention the first day of the week, Sunday. For instance, Acts 20:7 states that “on the first day of the week we came together to break bread.” Paul also urges the Corinthian believers, “On the first day of every week, each one of you should set aside a sum of money in keeping with his income” (1 Corinthians 16:2). Since Paul designates this offering as “service” in 2 Corinthians 9:12, this collection may have been linked with the Sunday worship service of the Christian assembly. Historically, Sunday, not Saturday, was the normal meeting day for Christians in the church, and its practice dates back to the first century.

Christians worship on Sundays in celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is very important to remember, though, Sunday worship is not commanded in the Bible, and Sunday has not replaced Saturday and become the Christian Sabbath. While the New Testament describes Christians gathering and worshipping on Sundays, it nowhere states that Sunday has replaced Saturday as the Sabbath. They key point in all of this is that we are not to limit our worship to any particular day of the week. We are to rest in the Lord every day. We are to worship the Lord every day
