Bible Question:
Where is your scriputural reference for SATURDAY is the Sabbath? It says "Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day [is] the sabbath of the LORD thy God..." |
Bible Answer: As Charis wrote: "Jesus rose on the *first day of the week*, and we celebrate that and honor it in our hearts, not in a 'legal' manner. Sister TerryM said it best, "The Bible says give of the first fruits of your labor." This is an attitude of honor and worship, supeceding the letter of the Law, which has been clearly abolished. I, personally, consider Saturday to be a day of thanksgiving and preparation, but *Sunday is His day*," . . .Look in ANY translation of the Bible or ANY Bible dictionary or ANY commentary or ANY standard wall calendar (not those little executive appointment calendars). The FIRST day of the week is SUNDAY. Start with Sunday as the first day of the week, OK? 1) Sunday. 2) Monday. 3) Tuesday. 4) Wednesday. 5) Thursday. 6) Friday. 7) _______ (fill in the blank). What day would be the 7th day? If you still don't understand, ask a rabbi. The Jewish people have celebrated SATURDAY AND SATURDAY ONLY as the Sabbath for three thousand, five hundred (3,500) years. This isn't rocket science. |
