I am christian but my knowledge is a bit,well not good. Anyways one of gods commandments says remeber the sabbath day and keep it holy,the sabbath day is saturday,but people have church on sunday,doesn't this make god a bit...angry? What do you guys think.
Wow Calm, I never knew that, but why is the Church trying to convince us that Jesus was actually born on December 25th?
The Church never pretended it to be the accurate date. Nobody knew exactly when he was born, so they chose (wisely) a "random" day of the year. But they never pretended he really was born on the 25th of December. Everybody knows it's fictional...
And I am not trying to be and Athanist but maybe since in that time, winter was different because people didn't know about it and they just said December was spring/summer.
Well, December was still winter in that time. The thing is in Israël, winter is not this cold, so sheep might still be out in winter...
Sabbath can't be on any day. God rested on the seventh day wich is the sabbath. One of the ten commandments is to remember the Sabbath, to keep it holy
Well the darkest month of the year is December and Jesus is the light. Out from the darkness comes the light of God. That is what I was told.
You're totally right. The winter solstice is in december, and that's one of the reasons for wich the primitive church decided to celebrate JC's birthday in december: it's symbolic.
Sabbath can't be on any day. God rested on the seventh day wich is the sabbath. One of the ten commandments is to remember the Sabbath, to keep it holy
Do you really think what you just wrote? In that case, all the Christians are sinning since they celebrate God on the 1st day of the week and not on the 7th... We're doomed!!
More seriously, God is comprehensive. There are some people on the planet who have to work 7 days a week because they're too poor, and they're exploited by their bosses. Does it mean they're sinning? No.
Wow there are way too many forum topics on Christianity, they get a nit annoying after all this time, even though i am a Christian. I think that a mod should make a topic for each major religion and everyone can take all of there discussions there instead of breaking them up into a million different topics.
Well, I think I know your problem... The Sabbath Day is Sunday, not Saturday. God always meant for the Sabbath Day to be Sunday, not Saturday people. We have Mass every day of the week actually, and I don't think God cares, I think he enjoys knowing he has followers and they believe and worship him day in and day out!
Jikek -- in the bible it says that god made the planet in 6 days, and on the 7th he rested, so no, ur teacher is wrong, there were never 8 days in a week
i know a morman, and they arent alowwed to hang out w/ non mormans, on sunday. they think that sunday is the sabbath, and its not, saturday is, sunday is the first day of the week, saturday is the last,
"The seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God." Exodus 20:10. "And when the sabbath was past, ...very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre." Mark 16:1,2.
The Sabbath is not the first day of the week (Sunday), as many believe, but the seventh day (Saturday). Notice from the above Scripture that the Sabbath is the day that comes just before the first day of the week.
