By definition, Sabbath day is a day sanctified and declared holy by God as a day rest unto man.(Ex 20:8-11). And from historical accounts and Jews background, we see the last day of the week to falling on Saturday. (Lk23:53-56, Julian Calendar 46 B.C. & the Gregorian of 1582).

Now there are three (3) pressing questions which I imagine will be pertinent to ask us Niralanders.

They are:
1. How did the sabbath day metamorphose from Saturday to Sunday.

2. Why does God still manifest Himself when people worship on Sunday as against Saturday the supposed sabbath day.

3. If perhaps Saturday turns to be the real sabbath day, will all those who work and married couples who make love on saturday go to hell for defiling the sabbath?

Please the thread is open, all types of opinions are welcome. But please let's discuss and not Diss-Curse.

Sabbath day is Saturday in the Bible, it was changed by early ignorant Christians.



Ok


The early Christians changed it to Sunday because Jesus rose on Sunday whereas Jesus never change the sabbath day from Saturday to Sunday.


God doesn't have a particular day to manifest his powers, prayers are meant to be everyday thing.


Many are ignorant of the sabbath day so it is only God that knows.

Yeah, peace.

There were no names of the day when God Created everything...it was counted tho...only pagans started naming the days according to their beliefs and it was passed to every generation til now...So regadless of any day u rest & wanna worship God tats all matter....
And this so called Religions segregated all ppol on how & when to praise& worship God..

xpac01:

Ok thanks bro. But now in your opinion, do you suppose the true sabbath should be saturday or sunday?

MizMyColi:


Lmao.
Nwanne, all this levels no be my turf again na.

Saturday church o, Sunday church o
These things are really not worth debating on.

If you want to practice sabbath because it's written in some old jewish scripture then please be sure to follow other traditions.
Follow it to the letter.

Besides, last I checked, shebi they called us gentiles.
So we're not bound by these laws.

Finally, in my worldview.....this is just inconsequential.
Our God-within is not bothered. Trust me.

Urrm, bro, if I got this very well, you mean, we are bound to follow the laws written in the book of Moses ( the Pentateuch) that is: Offering of burnt sacrifices, separation of the first born of every animal and man to God, the leaven bread, passover feast, virginity rituals (i.e. for newly wedded couples) e.t.c.?

Hiswordxray:

Christ is the real Sabbath.
"16 So let no one judge you in food or in drink, or regarding a festival or a new moon or sabbaths, 17 which are a shadow of things to come, but the substance is of Christ." (Col 2:16-17)

Sabbath is nothing but a type, shadow, symbol, picture or representation of Christ. Christ is the reality of Sabbath.
Christ is the meaning, purpose and essence of Sabbath.

Read also Hebrews 4

tintingz:
Yes, Christians must follow this laws as Jesus never condemn, abolish this laws.

These laws were well practiced during Jesus time, some laws are from God while some are of men(Jesus cleared that in Matthew 23:1-3).

Many pastors are picky when it comes to old testament practice they choose some verses for their selfish gain.

Hiswordxray:

Jesus is the fulfilment of Sabbath day. All who are in Christ had enter into Sabbath and our lives is a worship. Therefore everyday is Sabbath and our life is a worship to God.

"For we who have believed do enter that rest,... For He has spoken in a certain place of the seventh day in this way: “And God rested on the seventh day from all His works” ;... For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His." (Heb 4:3,4 & 10).

Sabbath is no longer a day but a person and that person is Jesus. The purpose of Sabbath day was to foretell the story of Jesus, it preaches Jesus coming. But now that Jesus had come we no longer have a Sabbath day but a Sabbath person (Jesus). And when you are in Christ then you are in Sabbath.

Therefore we have to live Our lives as a worship to God.

xpac01:

Urrm, right bro. I understand you now. But lastly what I wanted getting is that, do you still practice those laws observed during Jesus time on earth (saturday sabbath inclusive), AS IN YOU IN PARTICULAR, or are you basically reitrating that it supposed to be practiced by Churches?

tintingz:
Jesus said obey the laws, you as a christian will you disobey his words?

Hiswordxray:

Are you obeying the law?
Do you know that the law is more than 600?

If you say you are obeying the law then you are a big lier.

If you disobey one of the law then you have disobeyed all.

You don't expect everyone to be perfect.


Do many pastors even preach the laws in the bible?

90% Christians go to church on Sundays thinking it is the sabbath day and Jesus in the bible never preached that.
