Wow, Sara! Your question sparked quite an interest. Welcome, again, to this forum. My comments to your question are thus: The Sabbath is still the Sabbath, Saturday. Christians have been observing the LORD'S day, Sunday, since the era of King Constantine. Jesus boiled the commandments down, from ten to two. He did not omit anything. That is extremely important. The first 4 of the ten commandments had to do with behavior towards God. And the next 6 commandments had to do with our behavior towards our neighbor. To violate any (of 6 commands of Moses) from 5 thru ten is to violate Jesus' second greatest commandment, and these are likened unto the first; because any violation of any single one of the ten commandments would be a violation of Jesus' first and greatest command. Please read the following from Matthew. Mat 22:34 But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together. Mat 22:35 Then one of them, [which was] a lawyer, asked [him a question], tempting him, and saying, Mat 22:36 Master, which [is] the great commandment in the law? Mat 22:37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. Mat 22:38 This is the first and great commandment. Mat 22:39 And the second [is] like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Mat 22:40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. Blessings to you all |

Thank you for the correction, WOS. I was a little too tired to frame my post correctly and will try now to clarify my thoughts of that moment: The emperor Constantine (d. 337), a convert to Christianity, introduced the first civil legislation concerning Sunday in 321, when he decreed that all work should cease on Sunday, except that farmers could work if necessary. "In 321 CE, while a Pagan sun-worshiper, the Emperor Constantine declared that Sunday was to be a day of rest: "On the venerable day of the Sun let the magistrates and people residing in cities rest, and let all workshops be closed. In the country however persons engaged in agriculture may freely and lawfully continue their pursuits because it often happens that another day is not suitable for gain-sowing or vine planting; lest by neglecting the proper moment for such operations the bounty of heaven should be lost." "The Church Council of Laodicea circa 364 CE ordered that religious observances were to be conducted on Sunday, not Saturday. Sunday became the new Sabbath. I retrieved the above information from, "Keeping the Sabbath day holy" which is found at, www.piney-2.com/FathLaodConstSabbath.html |
