Saturday or Sunday worship? Which day do we worship God today? (Video) MUST SEE!
WHICH DAY DO WE GO TO CHURCH: SATURDAY OR SUNDAY?
By Robert Breaker
There is a huge denomination in the world today that dogmatically preaches that you MUST worship God on Saturday only, and that if you go to a church that meets on Sunday, you are in error. They even go so far as to say that this is the “MARK OF THE BEAST,” (something that makes no sense at all, as the Bible tells us the mark of the beast is in one’s right hand or forhead. How on earth can you take a mark on your forehead or right hand by going somewhere on sunday?)
Well, this teaching is a modern teaching, and is not what the early church believed or practiced. The following video shows how that according to the Bible, Christians are to meet on SUNDAY (or better stated SON-Day) in order to remember the RESURRECTION of Jesus Christ, who arose THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK.
The reason that a certain denomination teaches that you can only worship God on Saturday is that they don’t understand the difference between THE LAW and GRACE. They don’t see the most basic division in the Bible, that of OLD TESTAMENT vs NEW TESTAMENT. The followng video does well to show that we are not under the Old Testament today, rather we are in the New Testament, an age of GRACE in which God deals with us through his SON, and we are no longer under the LAW.
Sadly, many Christian denominations today don’t see that we are today in an age of GRACE, where we are no longer saved by WORKS (like those under the law), rather by FAITH ALONE in the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross of Calvary. This video shows the difference between WORKS vs FAITH.

The Sabbath IS HOLY and was made so on the 7th Day of Creation Week.
Where is the scripture that states God set aside the first day of the week as HOLY TIME?
Another error – there was never a time “works” could save – you are rewarded for your works, Eternal Life is a free gift an unearned gift.
Study the parable of the pound and the talent, to those that “gain” they are given more.
The first contract was a physical covenant with a physical law for a physical people with physical promises
The last contract is a spiritual contract with spiritual laws for a spiritual people with spiritual promises.
Eternal Life is a free gift an unearned gift.
————-
Sure. In Hell. Justice is the unearned gift.
And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.” Revelation 7:2,3
Did you notice that it says, the Almighty seals them in their foreheads? This is why Christians never remember being stamped, sealed, or marked by God when they become truly saved and begin to walk as He has written they will walk. When God sealed us “in” the forehead it was not a mark ON the forehead like a tattoo, and it certainly isn’t a computer chip under the skin either because I don’t recall God doing that to me years ago. In fact, I was saved by the Lord over 20 years ago before the “computer age” was so plainly upon us. Simple truth is, the forehead represents the mind here.
Isaiah 8:16, “Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples.”
2 Timothy 2:19, “Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his…”
Hebrews 10:16 says, “This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;”
Scientific discovery has recently revealed that the frontal lobe of the cerebrum, which in laymen’s terms is called the forehead, is where functions like decisions, judgments, and free will are made. We are sealed by God when we make the free will decision to accept Jesus as our Savior and His Word as Truth. This then causes our lives to be affected by His doctrine, teachings, and most importantly, His COMMANDMENTS. [Also see 2Cor 3:3 & Heb 8:10 & Heb 10:16]
Now let’s look at how the beast administers his mark.
“And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads.” Revelation 13:16
In this verse we now see the mark of the beast is not only being received in the forehead, it’s in the hand as well. We already found the forehead represents the mind in prophecy. So this means the people with the mark of the beast in the forehead have made a free will decision thinking it was perfectly acceptable to replace God’s Law with man’s traditions. But, what of those that receive it in the hand? Truth is, much of mankind is not likely to “freely” go along with the beast’s plans. So, he has to rely on the use force instead. This is where the hand comes into play.
Jeremiah 38:23, “… thou shalt not escape out of their hand, but shalt be taken by the hand of the king of Babylon: and thou shalt cause this city to be burned with fire.”
Ecclesiastes 9:10, “Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.”
In prophecy the hand represents being forced against our will as well as our ability to buy and sell, or “work” as Ecclesiastes 9:10 put it. As we all know, Jesus will never force Himself on us. He prefers we choose to worship Him of our own free will. (decision made in the MIND) In the revolt of Heaven, two thirds of Heaven made the right choice. However, one third made the sinful choice and fell along with Satan. (see Revelation 12:4) Even our first Parents had to deal with choice. Just as the forbidden fruit in Eden was a choice for them, the forbidden mark of the beast is a choice for us. BOTH choices have a “life or death” consequence, and both choices declare who we choose to obey. Daniel and the three worthies had this choice as did Mordecai and Esther. This is always the devil’s main mode of attack. Why would he choose a different method when all his past efforts worked so well?

“I don’t recall God doing that to me years ago.”
What DO you recall, Amminadab?
“This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days…”
Which are the days, Amminadab? Can you tell me, specifically? Generally speaking, when I ask you a specific question (like the one I just asked you), you decline to give any answer at all. I ask you in sincerity for your answer to this question.
“We are sealed by God when we make the free will decision to accept Jesus as our Savior…”
We do what now? Thus sayeth the Word:
“No man can come to Me except the Father which hath sent Me draw him…”
Is that consistent with the false doctrine of fee will? It is in no way consistent. He calls whom He will call, and He draws whom He will draw. That’s what the Scriptures teach. And we, quite frankly, have no say in the matter whatsoever.
“So this means the people with the mark of the beast in the forehead have made a free will decision thinking it was perfectly acceptable to replace God’s Law with man’s traditions.”
I’d say there’s a certain merit to that statement. I’d say even more so if you replaced the word ‘will’ with the word ‘choice.’ We have free choice. There are ALWAYS at least two choices.
Lev 23:1 (KJV) And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the feasts of the Lord, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my feasts.
3 Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath of the Lord in all your dwellings.
Isaiah 66:23 (KJV) And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the Lord.
The seventh day Sabbath of the fourth commandment is declared by the Lord to be a convocation day. It is to be a day that the people of God come together corporately. For what purpose? To worship the Lord as Creator:
Rev 4:11 (KJV) Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
Rev 14:6 (KJV) And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,
7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.
…
12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
The seventh day Sabbath was indeed set apart from the other days, sanctified and blessed by the Lord for a holy purpose:
Gen 2:3 (KJV) And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
Ex 20:8 (KJV) Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
11 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
1 John 2:3 (KJV) And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him
“The seventh day Sabbath of the fourth commandment is declared by the Lord to be a convocation day.”
And when is The Seventh Day, Amminadab? Do you really think it coincides with our ‘Saturday’?
“The seventh day Sabbath was indeed set apart from the other days, sanctified and blessed by the Lord for a holy purpose…”
Truth.
But tell me, why do you believe that verse and not the verses which tell us plainly that in the latter days we would FORGET the Sabbaths and the Holy Days? Do you think He was mistaken about that last part, or that He meant only Sun worshipping Christians?
“WHICH DAY DO WE GO TO CHURCH: SATURDAY OR SUNDAY?”
Does that sound like our Father speaking? No. That sounds like a false paradigm of given choice. How about this:
‘What do I have to do with either of those days? What do I have to do with ANY day of the Roman system’?
(Those were my words, of course. I only dare to speak a word in His name for the purposes of demonstration, and I think I speak according to His Word.)
The Sabbath, according to our Father’s Calendar, is coincident with one day of the Roman week, for the span of only one year. But each and every new year, the genuine Seventh Day falls on a different pagan week day, because our Father’s Calendar back-rotates by one day every year. The present 365 day sidereal year is not consistent with the Calendar of Scripture, owing to a 1.24+ day discrepancy left behind as a vestige of Joshua’s tampering with the clockwork of the Heavens. Joshua never undid what he did in those days, and Scripture relates that there’s not been a day like that since. Of course, Messiah and the Apostles knew how to compensate for the discrepancy in the days when He walked in the Promised Land. But we of today DO NOT know how to rightly compensate for the discrepancy, as it was prophesied – we would lose the feast days and the Sabbaths, owing to the rebellious deeds of our fathers and to our own continued rebellious deeds.
“…in order to remember the RESURRECTION of Jesus Christ, who arose THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK.”
Brother,
Messiah was resurrected on The Eighth Day… not on the first. And the Sabbath is not on the Eighth Day, but on The Seventh Day.
The Eighth Day is the Restoration of All Things; the day of New Heavens and a New Earth.
….In the beginning our years were 360 days; ancient script will verify that.
..Seems as though attrition has affected the ‘orbital relationship’, this world was created within. The count is so corrupted, that you have exactly, a one in seven chance of getting the day of the week right, with any guess. Its ALL arbitrary.
..(the Gregorian calendar, furthered the confusion of the days.)……
..The word Sabbath means ‘rest- sanctuary’….as such, I recognize Jesus Christ as my Sabbath. Every day is the Sabbath….in Christ.
“In the beginning our years were 360 days; ancient script will verify that.”
Max,
ALL months have 30 days. Only. Always. Ever. There are 12 months in every year. That’s 360 days. But the Calendar of Scripture consists of 364 days – there are four ‘marker days’ or ‘Days of Remembrance’; one each at the head of every quarter year. That is how we can see the 360 day Calendar of Scripture actually correspond to the 364 day year. Now about that 1.24+ day discrepancy…
…you’ll just have to ask Joshua when you meet him. I expect there’ll be a long line of brethren planning to ask the very same question. Kind of like there will be with Eve and that piece of fruit.
walter,
Not sure I follow; are you saying 1st day, 2nd day, 3rd day, 4th day, 5th day, 6th day – Sabbath Day —then there is a rotation or something and a Sabbath can follow directly after the Sabbath, back to back or can fall 2 days after the Sabbath?
How do you stop or interrupt 1-2-3-4-5-6-7: 1-2-3-4-5-6-7 ? The 7th day ‘after’ tomorrow (the Sabbath) is the Sabbath again irregardless of what the names of the days are or if a new year began? Are days subtracted in mid week or additional days plugged in mid week?
When the 13th month is added it does not change the sequence of numbers but it does cause the Feast days to fall at the exact time of each of the planting or harvesting seasons,
Truthseeker,
(You know who I am, right? Another commenter stole my old name and avatar, so I switched to WALTER. I’ll switch again if I have to. We spoke on the phone a while back. Should do so again sometime soon.)
“How do you stop or interrupt 1-2-3-4-5-6-7…”
We don’t. The keys to the Calendar were given to us in the writings (about the Calendar) found among the Dead Sea Scrolls. By beginning each and every year in the same way – which is to say by first establishing a Day of Remembrance, and then by beginning the annual count on the Fourth Day (which was the day during Creation Week that the Heavenly Luminaries were set by our Maker into the firmament) – the Seventh Day will be the fifth day of every new year. The very next Sabbath will fall on the 12th day of the year. Then the 19th. But no matter on which day of the year the Sabbaths fall, they are always on the Seventh Day because, as you make note, the cycle of six days work, and then the Sabbath, repeats. Therefore, after every new year begins, the Seventh Day Sabbath will fall exactly five days later.
Now, Scripture teaches that the LAST day of every year is the vernal equinox. Note that well. Whereas the heathen often makes this day the HEAD of his year, the Most High makes of it the tail.
Before Joshua commanded the Sun and the Moon to stand still in the Heavens, there were 364 days in every solar (sidereal) year. At that time, there was never a disturbance in the weekly count. Six days of work, followed by one Sabbath Day of rest, flowed neatly from one year into the next without any disturbance in the cycle. But now that Joshua has ‘mucked’ with the system, and never compensated for his handwork, we have a problem.
“Are days subtracted in mid week or additional days plugged in mid week?”
I don’t know how to account for the additional 1.24+ days in our present solar year. That’s the problem. And THAT is why NONE OF US can be certain of how to find the actual, biblically-correct, Seventh Day Sabbath, with any degree of certainty. Anyone who thinks he can consistently find the correct day is deceived. Anyone who thinks the day falls consistently on either Saturday or Sunday is deceived.
“When the 13th month is added…”
What’s that you say? 13th month? What 13th month. You’ve been listening to the rabbis again, haven’t you. Never do that, Truthseeker. There is no such thing as a 13th month, except in the false systems of Moon worship found in Islam and in modern rabbinical lore. Those are Babylonian systems. Do you think you can find a 13th month in Scripture? You’re reading into things if you do. There are 12 months. Only. Always. Ever. No exceptions.
“…it does not change the sequence of numbers but it does cause the Feast days to fall at the exact time of each of the planting or harvesting seasons…”
That is man’s way of compensating for the discrepancy between the solar year and the Calendar of Scripture. One wrong day is just as profane as another wrong day. At least modern Christianity gets it right one year out of every seven. Too bad it’s only by accident that they do so, and too bad they don’t listen to the Creator’s decree to cease from profaning that day by working and by conducting commerce, etc. etc. etc… I know some of us like you and Amminadab rest on A seventh day, accordingly as it is written. So do I. I rest on Saturday. But that is ONLY because I have no way of locating the actual Seventh Day. If I did, I would repent of my Saturday observance. And that is what I do on Saturday, incidentally. I OBSERVE the Sabbath. I do not KEEP the Sabbath according to the Word because it is part of my punishment that I cannot. But neither do I deceive myself into believing I’ve arrived at the correct day for Sabbath keeping.
walter,
I will be out of town for the next week, but give me a call during or after the last week of July.
Things are progressing at the speed of light now. I can not keep up.
walter
did you get the email I sent regarding a site I think you will like?
Look it up it is “the mechanical translation of the Torah”
This fellow knows Hebrew.
The Sunday Sabbath flagrantly contradicts the Bible:
It is worth its while to remember that this observance of the [Sunday] Sabbath, — in which, after all, the only Protestant worship consists, — not only has no foundation in the Bible, but it is in flagrant contradiction with its letter, which commands rest on the [7th day] Sabbath, which is Saturday. It was the Catholic Church which, by the authority of JESUS CHRIST, has transferred this rest to the Sunday in remembrance of the resurrection of the Lord. Thus the observance of Sunday by the Protestants is an homage they pay, in spite of themselves, to the authority of the [Roman Catholic] Church.
Source: Plain Talk About The Protestantism Of Today, from the French of Monsignor Louis Gaston de Segur, Boston: Patrick Donahoe, 1868, Imprimatur Joannes Josephus, Episcopus Boston, pg. 225.
According to M. de Segur:
The Bible “commands rest on the [7th day] Sabbath, which is Saturday.”
That is mingled seed right there. The first part of the statement is true; the second is false. Thus begins the paradigm of false choice between two wrong choices…
…We all know who sings that song as his stock-in-trade. He’s pleased to meet you. Hope you guess his name.
Sunday worship DOES NOT “flagrantly contradict” the Bible. For we read the following verses…
Mar_16:9 Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils.
Joh_20:19 Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
Act_20:7 And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.
1Co_16:2 Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come.
CLEARLY, there is a pattern of the early church meeting on the FIRST DAY of the week. It’s because that was the day of the week that JESUS AROSE. Check any calendar today, and the first day of the week is SUNDAY. Soooooooo.
Anyway, I have nothing to do with the pagan Roman system which calls itself “Christian.” I’m just a Bible Believer. But here’s a verse for you…
Rom_14:6 He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.
If a guy wants to worship on Saturday, that’s his business. If Sunday, that’s his. As long as he’s worshiping THE LORD, it doesn’t really matter.
Again, the pattern in the New Testament (which is not the OLD) is the early church meeting on Sunday. That’s why meeting on Sunday is scriptural in the NEW TESTAMENT. But there are some who meet on Wednesday and some on Thursday. Is that sin? NO!
Sounds like you are still trying to be under the law. How sad. Christ Jesus is the end of the Law to all who BELIEVE (Rom. 10:4). He redeems from the CURSE of the law (Gal. 3:13). The law is the SCHOOLMASTER to bring us to CHRIST (Gal. 3:24), and in Gal. 3:25 we read: “But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.”
Below are some of my videos that clearly show the difference between the LAW and GRACE. Hope you watch them…

Rob,
you do understand there is no punctuation in the Bible, all were placed there by men thus
Mar_16:9 can be read as: “Now when Jesus was risen,( comma) early the first day of the week he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils.
it is the same situation when Christ spoke to the thief next to Him, Christ said “Verily I say unto thee today, comma, shalt thou be with me in paradise.”
Act_20:7 And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.
God’s day ends at sundown thus when the Sabbath ended at sundown and the first day of the week began they sat down for dinner. Paul was leaving in the morning so he used the time to preach.
1Co_16:2 Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come.
After the Sabbath is over get busy and put together what you want Paul to take to Jerusalem to help the saints due to the famine. Paul was in a hurry to get food to Jerusalem and did not want to wait.
Rob, read the books Matthew, Mark, Luke and John and study how Jesus Christ and the saints lived, they kept the Sabbath and all the Holy Days the Laws even the food laws, the catholic church changed every one and in the 4 century they invented the trinity.
Read what the Catholics say about the Sabbath
James Cardinal Gibbons, The Faith of our Fathers, 88th ed., pp. 89.
“But you may read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, and you will not find a single line authorizing the sanctification of Sunday. The Scriptures enforce the religious observance of Saturday, a day which we never sanctify.”
Thanks for writing. Sounds like you don’t understand dispensations. See this video…

Hebrews 1:1-2 clearly tell us that God deals with people in different time periods in different ways. “Heb 1:1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
Heb 1:2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;”
We are also instructed to “rightly DIVIDE” the word of truth in 2 Tim. 2:15, which states:
“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”
For more on that, see this video…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=0abp15uLFT8
There are divisions in the Bible. The most basic is the Old Testament and the New Testament. For more on that, see this video…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=AVA3Hwjgkzs
Further, there is even a division between the early ministry of Peter and the later ministry of Paul. For this, see…

You have to see the difference between Peter and Paul. See this video…

Jesus was a Jew who came to the JEWS. After, the early disciples went to Jews, but the book of Acts was a transition from Jews to Gentiles. From Peter and the early apostles to PAUL, the apostle to us Gentiles (Rom. 11:13). That’s why we read the following verses:
Rom 15:8 Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers:
Rom 15:16 That I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Ghost.
So God changed from JEWS and the LAW to GENTILES and salvation by GRACE through FAITH alone.
If you don’t see or understand this, that’s on you. I’ve done my best to explain it. It’s not hard to see. All the Bible is written FOR us to read, but not all the Bible is written TO us today. Parts of it apply to others in other dispensations. We today are under the dispensation of the CHURCH, an age of GRACE. Under this dispensation, we are under the preaching of PAUL’S GOSPEL for salvation. That Gospel is found in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4. And, Paul tells us in Romans 2:16: “In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.”
Some day you will be judged by GOD HIMSELF, and he will only want to know one thing: What did you do with the Gospel of Salvation found in 1 Cor. 15:1-4? Did you trust it for salvation, or did you reject it?
I hope these videos help you. It’s imperative that you see the truth, and see the importance of “STUDYING” the Bible, RIGHTLY DIVIDING, in order to not be “ASHAMED” at the day of judgement.
Sat or Sunday really doesn’t matter. Being SAVED is what matters.
I’ll pray for you! I hope you really are a “Truth Seeker!” : )
. But which day is the Lord’s Day? Which day are You Lord of?
A. “The Son of man is Lord even of the Sabbath day.” Matt. 12:8
Q. There are seven days in the week. Which day is the Sabbath day?
A. “The seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God.” (Fourth Commandment) Ex. 20:10
Q. Which day, according to our reckoning, is the seventh day, Saturday or Sunday?
A. “And when the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene and Mary, the mother of James,…very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun…And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man…And he saith unto them, be not affrighted; Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified; he is risen.” Mark 16:1-6. (Note: everybody knows that Sunday was the resurrection day. The Sabbath was past when it dawned. Thus it is evident that the Sabbath is Saturday, the day before Sunday.)
Q. But, Lord, didn’t you abolish the law which contains the Sabbath commandment?
A. “Think not that I am come to destroy the law or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill.” Matt. 5:17
Q. Well, at least, didn’t you change one of the commandments so that today your followers may keep another day than the seventh day?
A. “For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.” Matt. 5:18
Q. But, Lord, isn’t Saturday a Jewish day? Isn’t the seventh day the Sabbath of the Jews?
A. “The Sabbath was made for man.” Mark 2:27 (The Sabbath was made and given to man 1500 years before the existence of a Jew. See Gen. 2:1-3)
Q. Someone told me that after Your crucifixion, Lord, your followers no longer kept the seventh-day Sabbath according to the commandment. Is this true?
A. “And that day was the Preparation day and the Sabbath drew on. And the women also, which came with Him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld the Sepulchre, and how His body was laid. And they returned and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the Sabbath day according to the commandment.” Luke 23:54-56
Q. But didn’t the apostle Paul always meet with the early Christians on Sunday in honor of the resurrection? What was his manner in regard to a day of worship?
A. “And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and three Sabbath days reasoned with them out of the Scriptures.” Acts 17:2
Q. Did he meet with the Gentile converts on the Sabbath, too? Perhaps he met with the Jews on the Sabbath and the Greeks on Sunday. What about that?
A. “And he reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks.” Acts 18:4
Q. What did Paul teach in regard to Sabbath keeping?
A. “There therefore remaineth a keeping of the Sabbath (margin) to the people of God. For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works as God did from His.” Heb. 4:9,10
Q. But, which day did Paul mean when he spoke of resting as God did?
A. “For He spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, ‘And God did rest the seventh day from all His works’” Heb. 4:4
Q. Is this, then, your instruction in regard to Sabbath keeping?
A. “For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.” Acts 20:27 (In the New Testament there are no less than 59 references to the Sabbath. The book of Acts records 84 Sabbaths on which the Apostle Paul and his associates held religious services. Yet there is not one word in the entire Bible authorizing Sunday keeping.)
Q. Then why is it so many people keep Sunday instead of Saturday? If the Bible teaches Sabbath keeping, how and by whom was Sunday keeping introduced into Christianity?
A. “And he (the ‘little horn’ power) shall speak great words against the Most High,…and think to change times and laws.” Dan. 7:25
Q. The Roman Catholic Church is the little horn of Daniel 7; Do you mean that it should think to change the law of God?
A. “Ask now the priests concerning the law.” Haggai 2:11
Q. Very well, I will ask Stephen Keenan, a Catholic Priest: Does your church think it has the power to change the law of God?
A. “Had she not such power, she could not have done that in which all modern religionists agree with her; she could not have substituted the observance of Sunday, the first day of the week, for the observance of Saturday, the seventh day of the week, a change for which there is no Scriptural authority.” Doctrinal Catechism, page 174
Q. When was this change made?
A. “We observe Sunday instead of Saturday because the Catholic Church in the Council of Laodicea (364 A.D.) transferred the solemnity from Saturday to Sunday.” The Converts’ Catechism, Peter Geirmann, page 50. (This catechism received the pope’s blessing on Jan. 25, 1910.)
Q. Do you feel this is your MARK of authority?
A. “Of course the Catholic Church claims that the change (Saturday Sabbath to Sunday) was her act… And the act is a MARK of her ecclesiastical authority in religious things.” H.F. Thomas, Chancellor of Cardinal Gibbons
Q. Is this Rome’s way of counterfeiting your mark? Do you have a mark too?
Ezekiel 20:12 & 20, “Moreover also I gave them my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am the LORD that sanctify them. And hallow my sabbaths; and they shall be a sign between me and you, that ye may know that I am the LORD your God.” (Note: the word “sign” is the same as the word “mark.” In fact you can use the words, sign, seal, mark, or stamp interchangeably in almost every instance. In fact, it’s confirmed in Romans 4:11 where it says, “…he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith “)
Q. Do Protestant ministers agree with this?
A. Congregationalist: “It is quite clear that however rigidly or devotedly we may spend Sunday, we are not keeping the Sabbath.” Dr. R.W. Dale, The Ten Commandments, page 106.
Methodist: “Sabbath in the Hebrew language signifies rest and is the seventh day of the week,…and it must be confessed that there is no law in the New Testament concerning the first day.” Buck’s Theological Dictionary.
Baptist: “There was and is a commandment to keep holy the Sabbath day, but that Sabbath day was not Sunday. It will be said, however, and with some show of triumph, that the Sabbath was transferred from the seventh to the first day of the week…Where can the record of such a transfer be found? Not in the New Testament – absolutely not…Of course, I quite well know that Sunday did not come into use in early Christian history…But what a pity that it comes branded with the mark of paganism, and christened with the name of the sun god, when adopted and sanctioned by the Papal apostasy, and bequeathed as a sacred legacy to Protestantism.” – Dr. E.T Hiscox, author of the Baptist Manual.

Amminadab,
excellent
But remember Satan has deceived the entire world even the 4000 flavors of confusion called Christianity — thus your words will be ignored.
…..Ammi’s words are never ‘ignored’. not completely…..
Within the ranks of the “4000” flavors of Christianity, are the Zedock, seekers of truth. Nothing will get past them all. We’ll know the truth, from every angle.
IN A NUTSHELL AS TO WHY THEY ATTACK SABBATH…
“In Revelation 14, men are called upon to worship the Creator; and the prophecy brings to view a class that, as the result of the threefold message, are keeping the commandments of God. One of these commandments points directly to God as the Creator. The fourth precept declares: “The seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God: . . . for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it.” Exodus 20:10, 11. Concerning the Sabbath, the Lord says, further, that it is “a sign, . . . that ye may know that I am the Lord your God.” Ezekiel 20:20. And the reason given is: “For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day He rested, and was refreshed.” Exodus 31:17.
“The importance of the Sabbath as the memorial of creation is that it keeps ever present the true reason why worship is due to God”–because He is the Creator, and we are His creatures. “The Sabbath therefore lies at the very foundation of divine worship, for it teaches this great truth in the most impressive manner, and no other institution does this.
…It was to keep this truth ever before the minds of men, that God instituted the Sabbath in Eden; and so long as the fact that He is our Creator continues to be a reason why we should worship Him, so long the Sabbath will continue as its sign and memorial. Had the Sabbath been universally kept, man’s thoughts and affections would have been led to the Creator as the object of reverence and worship, and there would never have been an idolater, an atheist, or an infidel. The keeping of the Sabbath is a sign of loyalty to the true God, “Him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.” It follows that the message which commands men to worship God and keep His commandments will especially call upon them to keep the fourth commandment.” -Great Controversy p. 437

Peter R. Kraemer- Catholic Church Extension Society (1975), Chicago, Illinois. “Regarding the change from the observance of the Jewish Sabbath to the Christian Sunday, I wish to draw your attention to the facts:”1) That Protestants, who accept the Bible as the only rule of faith and religion, should by all means go back to the observance of the Sabbath. The fact that they do not, but on the contrary observe the Sunday, stultifies them in the eyes of every thinking man.”2) We Catholics do not accept the Bible as the only rule of faith. Besides the Bible we have the living Church, the authority of the Church, as a rule to guide us. We say, this Church, instituted by Christ to teach and guide man through life, has the right to change the ceremonial laws of the Old Testament and hence, we accept her change of the Sabbath to Sunday. We frankly say, yes, the Church made this change, made this law, as she made many other laws, for instance, the Friday abstinence, the unmarried priesthood, the laws concerning mixed marriages, the regulation of Catholic marriages and a thousand other laws. “It is always somewhat laughable, to see the Protestant churches, in pulpit and legislation, demand the observance of Sunday, of which there is nothing in their Bible.”
“The observance of Sunday by the Protestants is an homage they pay, in spite of themselves, to the authority of the [Catholic] church.” Monsignor Louis Segur, Plain Talk About the Protestantism of Today (1868), p. 213
“Reasoned and sense demand the acceptance of one or the other of these alternatives: either Protestantism and the keeping holy of Saturday Catholicism and the keeping holy of Sunday. Compromise is impossible. -James Cardinal Gibbons. Catholic mirror, December 23, 1893
“Perhaps the boldest thing, the most revolutionary change the Church ever did, happened in the first century. The holy day, the Sabbath, was changed from Saturday to Sunday. “The day of the Lord” was chosen, not from any direction noted in the Scriptures, but from the Church’s sense of its own power …. People who think that the Scriptures should be the sole authority, should logically become Seventh-day Adventists, and keep Saturday holy.” (Saint Catherine Church Sentinel, Algonac, Michigan, May 21, 1995.)
“Sunday is a Catholic institution and its claim to observance can be defended only on Catholic principles …. From beginning to end of Scripture there is not a single passage that warrants the transfer of weekly public worship from the last day of the week to the first.” (Catholic Press, Sydney, Australia, August, 1990.)
Question: How prove you that the church had power command feasts and holydays?
Answer: By the very fact of changing the Sabbath into Sunday, which Protestants allow of; and therefore they fondly contradict themselves by keeping Sunday strictly, and keep most other feasts commanded by the same church.
Question: Have any other way of proving that the church has power to institute festivals precept?
Answer: Had she not such power, she could not a done that in which all modern religionists agree with her;-she could not have substituted the observance of Sunday the first day of the way, for the observance of Saturday the seventh day of the week, a change for which there is no Scriptural authority. “-Stephen Keenan, a doctrinal catechism, p. 174
“It was the Catholic church by the authority of Jesus Christ, which has transferred this rest to Sunday in remembrance of the resurrection of our Lord. Therefore the observance of Sunday by the Protestants is an homage they pay, in spite of themselves, to the authority of the Catholic church.” – Mgr, Segur Plain Talk about Protestantism of today page 213
“If protestants would follow the Bible, they should worship God on the Sabbath Day. In keeping the Sunday they are following a law of the Catholic Church.” Albert Smith, chancellor of the Archdiocese of Baltimore, replying for the cardinal in a letter of Feb. 10, 1920.
Protestants do not realize that by observing Sunday, they accept the authority of the spokesperson of the Church, the Pope. -Our Sunday Visitor», 5 February 1950.)
“Which day do we worship God today?”
Let’s see:
Monday = Moons day
Tuesday = The Norse god Tyr’s day
Wednesday = The Norse god Woden’s day
Thursday = The Norse god Thor’s day
Friday = The Norse god Freya’s day
Saturday = The planet Saturns day
Sunday = The Suns day.
Looks like there in no room at the inn for your late comer deity, invented by the Pharisee’s political party.
Add: Be honest now, if your religion was held in such high regard, why are all the days of the week still dedicated to Norse deities? It’s not like you haven’t had c1’600 years worth of opportunity to impose your new political religion, peeing all over ancient traditions.
peeing all over ancient traditions
——–
American feudalists ability to pee over anything not anti-semiitic is their problem. But what does it tell you about the mass murder of these ancient traditions perpetrated by your post Jewish cultural marxists compared to the Christians whose weekdays are all pre christian?
Right up until after WW2 all Christians were extremely anti-Semitic, labelling them ‘Christ killers’. It’s only recently with the advent of the Jewish European refugees claiming to be Israelites, that rabid American Christian death cultists have latched onto them as ‘the chosen people’, to substantiate their end of world death cultism. The Israelites were Semitic (Arabic speaking) and were annihilated by the Roman empire in 70 CE, not Jewish European WW2 refugees who have learned how to read peasant Egyptian filtered via Greek translation, (Hebrew).
Can’t answer your question because I have no idea what you’re talking about. Define what or who you mean by “your post Jewish cultural marxists”?
The days of the week are pre Judaism as well as pre Christian. They are all named after Norse deities and traditions. Seems like the Vikings have had way more influence than all or any of the Abrahamic religions put together.
Still lying about Judean Pharisees being Israelites 800 years after Israel was destroyed unlike the Christians of 760 years following the destruction of Israel.
The Seventh Day is called the Sabbath in over 100 languages.

I agree with you. Some Christians don’t know the difrence in Bettendorf the old covenant vs the new covenant. We are under grace not under the law as Paul says in his epistles. IN the new covenant Jesus Christ gives us two commandments much more greater, than the 10 commandments. The first one Jesus says is the greatest of the two is ” love God with all you mind, soul, and heart”. It also doesen’t make sense to say Sunday worship is the mark of the beast. These people mixing the truth that sabbath is Saturday, with the mark of the beast a day which totally doesen’t make sense. Saying Saturday is sabbath is correct, But saying the mark of the beast os a a day is a lie and is incorrect. How could it be a day when revelation thirteen says ” no one can buy or sell unless he had the number of his name. The number is 666″. How could you by something with a day bieng 666 going to a church. what if God commanded me to go there that day? In fact It should be everyday we go to a church and learn more about Jesus Christ and worship him every day not just one single day. Another example is Jesus told am going to die tommorow on a Monday and I haven’t repented. And I don’t know how to repent, and I can’t go into a church. God doesn’t care on whatever day you put your heart to him and go learn more about him on a church but he cares whether you worship him properly, or not. Worshipping God only on the sabbath Sunday but forget about him on other days is shows that you don’t love him with all your heart soul and mind everyday bud only one. Oh so you told me you where going to worship idols on all the days but Saturday is the only day you worship God alone. Then you are not a true believer. However, we must take the example of the 10 commandments because if we truly love God with all are heart soul and mind we obiosly won’t be worshipping idol, or believing in other Gods as God command in the 10 commandments
