Bible Question: what was the org. day of the sabbath |
Bible Answer: 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 |
