Which verse in the Bible says Saturday is the Sabbath?

Answer 1

There were actually several Sabbaths. There was a sabbath year every seven years, and a special Jubilee year every 50 years, which was itself a sabbath. There was also a requirement of a sabbath month every year on the seventh month.

The most well-known sabbath, however, was the weekly sabbath, which was actually not on Sunday at all. It began at sundown Friday evening and lasted 24 hours until sundown on Saturday every week.

The Catholic Church changed the sabbath to Sunday. The book, Lectures on the History of the Eastern Church (1871), by A.P Stanley, on page 291 says, "The retention of the old Pagan name of 'Dies Solis,' or 'Sunday,' for the weekly Christian festival, is, in great measure, owing to the union of Pagan and [so-called] Christian sentiment with which the first day of the week was recommended by Constantine [in an edict in 321 C.E.] to his subjects, Pagan and Christian alike, as the 'venerable day of the Sun.' . . . It was his mode of harmonizing the discordant religions of the Empire under one common institution."

In other words, because of the fact that the pagans already viewed Sunday as the priciple day of the week and a sacred day, that was dedicated to their sun god, Constantine felt that this would be the best choice to dedicate as the sabbath day for the church and the principle day of the week for it's adherents, in order to harmonize the pagans with the newly formed Catholic Church. Thus, today people widely view Sunday as the day of the sabbath, even though The Bible does not endorse Sunday as the true sabbath day.

Answer

Will post selective quotes, since some of the text of my source are congruent with the above answer;

"The Sabbath was a Jewish institution, and, according to the Bible, only the Jews were commanded to keep that day. Jehovah said nothing to the Egyptians on that subject; nothing to the Philistines, nothing to the Gentiles. "

"Up to the time of the Reformation, Sunday had been divided between the discharge of religious duties and recreation.

Luther did not believe in the sacredness of the Sabbath. After church he enjoyed himself by playing games, and wanted others to do the same.

Even John Calvin, whose view had been blurred by the "Five Points," allowed the people to enjoy themselves on Sunday afternoon."

"But in Scotland the Jewish idea was adopted to the fullest extent. There Sabbath-breaking was one of the blackest and one of the most terrible crimes. Nothing was considered quite as sacred as the Sabbath.

The Scotch went so far as to take the ground that it was wrong to save people who were drowning on Sunday, the drowning being a punishment inflicted by God. Upon the question of keeping the Sabbath most of the Scottish people became insane."

* Addition;

Constantine decreed (March 7, 321) dies Solis - day of the sun, "Sunday" - as the Roman day of rest [CJ3.12.2]: On the venerable day of the Sun let the magistrates and people residing in cities rest, and let all workshops be closed. In the country however persons engaged in agriculture may freely and lawfully continue their pursuits because it often happens that another day is not suitable for grain-sowing or vine planting; lest by neglecting the proper moment for such operations the bounty of heaven should be lost.

The religion of Sol Invictus continued to be part of the state religion until paganism was abolished by decree of Theodosius I on February 27, 390.

The sabbath was not meant for the Jews only if; we see in mark 2:27 its says "The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath."

Answer

Nowhere, nowhere in the Bible is Sunday said to be the Sabbath, that's where. It says it clearly in the fourth commandment in Exodus 20:8-11. The Sabbath is Saturday. In 341 A.D Constantine changed the Sabbath to Sunday just because he had the authority and everyone would obey him. But God's word says it's Saturday and nobody can change what God said. Something else I have to add to the answer under this. If God wanted the Sabbath to change to Sunday after Jesus rose from the dead, then why in our Bibles is the forth commandment the same? If God wanted it to change after Jesus rose, did he not have time to tell his apostles to write that in the New Testament? And guess what it's not there, if God wanted the Sabbath to change he would have have told his people. If you say that's one reason, what's the others? God never said in the Bible, "after Jesus rose from the grave the Sabbath changed to Sunday", I don't see that anywhere, or nothing similar. If that was what God wanted he would have put it in the Bible, or told his prophets, or Ellen G. White, our recent prophetess for the Seventh-day Adventist church.

Answer

Originally, Sabbath was observed on a Saturday. (The day God rested.) But was changed to Sunday because Jesus Christ, having been sacrificed for all humanity's sins, rose from the dead on a Sunday. That is one reason.

Answer:

God instituted the 7th day of rest since the creation which is in Genesis 2:1-3 Thus the heavens and the earth and all the host of them were finished, Gen 2:2 And on the Seventh Day God ended his work which he had done and he rested on the Seventh Day from all his work which he had done Gen 2:3 Then God BLESSED the Seventh Day and SANCTIFIED it. Adam and Eve knows about the SABBATH DAY and it is their First Complete Day after they are created, since God Created them on the 6th Day( Gen 1:26).Who is this Lord who instituted the SABBATH DAY or the 7th Day rest on Genesis? John 1:1-4, In the beginning was the WORD and the WORD was with GOD,and the WORD was GOD. 2 : He was in the beginning with GOD 3: ALL things were made through HIM, and without HIM nothing was MADE that was MADE. John 1:10 He was in the WORLD, and the WORLD was made through Him. So JESUS instituted the 7th Day Sabbath since CREATION, and he even write it with hes finger in Granite when he give it to Moses.There is no Jewish State during creation since there is only ADAM and EVE during that time. Even Jesus observed the SABBATH when he is still on this EARTH Luke 4:16 So he came to Nazareth where he had been brought up and as his CUSTOM was, He went into the synagogue on the SABBATH Day and stood up to read. Jesus instituted the SABBATH, and it will stay for eternity.

Answer 2

In the Bible, God only gives one day of the week a "name." That one day is the "seventh day"... the "Sabbath."

All the rest of the days of the week... He "numbers."

"In the end of the SABBATH [the seventh day of the week: our Saturday], as it began to dawn toward the FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK [our Sunday], came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre." (Matt.28:1)

The changing of God's Sabbath Commandment [and the breaking thereof] is man's idea for reasons of his own that aren't commanded in the Bible... not God's.

Answer

The above answer is correct. In Genesis, it says that the Sabbath is the 7th day of the week, which is Saturday, not Sunday. Sunday is the first day of the week.

Christians made Sunday their day of worship because Christ was resurrected on the first day of the week: Sunday (Easter Sunday).

Jews, of course, don't believe that Jesus was the Son of God, so, they have stuck with Saturday as their Sabbath.

So, there is no verse in the Bible that says that Sunday is the Sabbath. The Bible indicates that Saturday is the Sabbath (although it does not actually name the day). The decision to make Sunday the Christian Sabbath was not based on the teachings in the Old Testament.

Answer 4

The Sabbath Law is discussed in Exodus 31:12-18. It means 'rest' and is first discussed in Genesis as follows:

Genesis 2:3King James Version (KJV)

The promised 'rest' is said to come to all post Millennium.

Answer 5

Any modern calendar today shows Sunday as the 1st day of the week and Saturday as the 7th or last day of the week. The Bible tells mankind in many verses to remember the Sabbath - 7th day. In Genesis days began with the night portion first and then the day. So the days began were from sunset to sunset. The Sabbath would begin Friday sunset and end Saturday sunset. It is also God's 4th Command for mankind as a sign for Him that we remember Him as our Creator and rest and ponder Him and all creation on that day:

Exodus 20:8-11

New International Version (NIV)

8 "Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your male or female servant, nor your animals, nor any foreigner residing in your towns. 11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.
