Greetings dgodsdiva and welcome to the forum, In order to get an answer to this question we must look at the crusifixion of Christ. Christ was crucified on Friday( the preperation day),rested on the sabbath day in the tomb,(Saturday),and arose on the first day of the week(Sunday). How did the change take place from Saturday to Sunday take place? Church history tells us. It happened during Roman times when the church and government became one. During the reign of Constintine,(a pagan and nominal christian), who worshiped the sun. Their festival day was Sunday (the venerable day of the sun). In order to unite the empire with the churches apostasy and to incorporate the pagans into the church (along with many of their practices and idol worship), the day was slowly changed to Sunday. prayon |

Yes, the original Sabbath of the fourth Commandment was Saturday. It was changed by the Roman Cahtolic Church. Note the following quotes from the Catholic Church itself: "Question: Have you any other way of proving that the church has power to institute festivals of precept? "Answer: 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, a change for which there is no Scriptural authority." A Doctrinal Catechism, by Rev. Stephen Keenan, page 174. "Question: What day was the Sabbath? "Answer: Saturday "Question: Who changed it? "Answer: The Catholic Church." From Rev. Dr. Butler's Catechism, Revised, Page 57. "It was the Catholic Church which, ...has transformed this rest to the Sunday in remembrance of the resurrection of our Lord. Thus the observance of Sunday by the Protestants is an homage they pay, in spite of themselves, to the authority of the (Catholic) Church." Plain Talk About the Protestants of Today, by Msgr. Segur, Page 213. The first Sunday law ever made was that issued by the Emperor Constantine, March 7, A.D. 321, which reads as follows: "Let all judges and town people, and the occupation of all trades rest on the venerable day of the sun; but let those who are situated in the country, freely and at full liberty, attend to the business of agriculture; because it often happens that no other day is so fit for sowing corn and planting vines; lest the critical moment being let slip men should lose the commodities granted by heaven." Corpus Juris Civilis Cod.: lib. 3, tit.12,3 So, far a little while, the christians of the time were keeping BOTH Saturaday AND Sunday as days of rest. In A.D. 364 the council of Laodicea forbade the observance of the seventh-day Sabbath: "Sabbath, Change of, Action of Council of Laodicea on A.D. 364 – Christians shall not Judaize and be idle on Saturday (Sabbath, original) but shall work on that day; but the Lord's day they shall especially honor, and, as being Christians, shall, if possible, do no work on that day. If, however, they are found Judaizing, they shall be shut out from Christ." A History of the Councils of the Church: from the Original Documents, Rt. Rev. Charles Joseph Hefele, D.D., Bishop of Rottenburg, book 6, sec. 93, canon 29 (Vol. II, page 316). Edinburgh: T and T Clark, 1896. From this point on the Sabbath of the fourth Commandment was forsaken in favor of the pagan sabbath on Sunday. |
