I don't celebrate either one. I choose as Paul said not to " esteem one day above the next." I treat each day as a day to love and praise my Father for sending Jesus to show me the Way! The days you mention are man's teachings not the teachings of The Spirit of God.

I believe it is very similiar to what is written the the bible.  I also believe that we are to only worship Allah, which is GOD! That is the point in this verse, this is what God states in his ten commandments given to the prophet Moses.  "Thou shall not worship any other Gods besides me" \nExodus 20:3 NIV\n\nI think people need to read the above verse again because I think they are missing the point.

Its not there, however, you are using the wrong calendar.  We should really worship Friday Night to Saturday, with the Jews, as Jesus did.  Using the Calendar and traditions he used.

The Sabbath was part of the Levitical covenant with Israel. If you read about the prophetic feasts, the feast which prophecies the church was to be celebrated the day AFTER the Sabbath. So the church was prophesied to meet on that day. However, I worship all seven days.

The Sabbath is from Friday Evening to Saturday Evening; Jews still keep it as some christians. No work is to be done this day.\nJesus himself told us to keep this day (John 4:22-24).\n"Ye worship ye know not what; we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews." John 4:22\nNotice Jesus was saying that we should worship Saturday like the Jews.\n\nLook Sabbath up in Encyclopaedia Americana, Vol.24, pp.68-69.\nThe Calendar also tells us the 7th day is Saturday.\n\nIf you look up Genesis 1:8; it tells us that the evening and morning were the second day. Lev.23:32 says from evening to evening to celebrate the Sabbath.\n\nGENESIS 2:2-3 "AND ON THE SEVENTH DAY GOD ENDED HIS WORK WHICH HE HAD MADE; AND HE RESTED ON THE SEVENTH DAY FROM ALL HIS WORK WHICH HE HAD MADE. AND GOD BLESSED THE THE SEVENTH DAY, AND SANCTIFIED IT: BECAUSE THAT IN IT HE HAD RESTED FROM ALL HIS WORK WHICH GOD CREATED AND MADE." {sanctify = to set apart; make holy}\n\nEXODUS 20:8-11 "REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY, TO KEEP IT HOLY. SIX DAYS SHALT THOU LABOUR, AND DO ALL THY WORK: BUT THE SEVENTH DAY IS THE SABBATH OF THE LORD THY GOD: IN IT THOU SHALT NOT DO ANY WORK, THOU, NOR THY SON, NOR THY DAUGHTER, THY MANSERVANT, NOR THY MAIDSERVANT, NOR THY CATTLE, NOR THY STRANGER THAT IS WITHIN THY GATES: FOR IN SIX DAYS THE LORD MADE HEAVEN AND EARTH, THE SEA, AND ALL THAT IN THEM IS, AND RESTED THE SEVENTH DAY: WHEREFORE THE LORD BLESSED THE SABBATH DAY, AND HALLOWED IT." {the 4th Commandment}\n\nREV.14:7 "SAYING WITH A LOUD VOICE, FEAR GOD, AND GIVE GLORY TO HIM; FOR THE HOUR OF HIS JUDGEMENT IS COME; AND WORSHIP HIM THAT MADE HEAVEN, AND EARTH, AND THE SEA, AND THE FOUNTAINS OF WATER."{fear God means reverence him; also this text points back to the 4th Commandment}\n\nLEV.23:3 "SIX DAYS SHALL WORK BE DONE: BUT THE SEVENTH DAY IS THE SABBATH OF REST, AN HOLY CONVOCATION; YE SHALL DO NO WORK THERIN: IT IS THE SABBATH OF THE LORD IN ALL YOUR DWELLINGS."\n\nDEUT.5:12-14 "KEEP THE SABBATH DAY TO SANCTIFY IT, AS THE LORD THY GOD HATH COMMANDED THEE. SIX DAYS SHALT THOU LABOUR, AND DO ALL THY WORK: BUT THE SEVENTH DAY IS THE SABBATH OF THE LORD THY GOD: IN IT THOU SHALT NOT DO ANY WORK, THOU, NOR THY SON, NOR THY DAUGHTER, THY MANSERVANT, NOR THY MAIDSERVANT, NOR THINE OX, NOR THINE ***, NOR ANY OF THINE CATTLE, NOR THY STRANGER THAT IS WITHIN THY GATES: THAT THY MANSERVANT AND THY MAIDSERVANT MAY REST AS WELL AS THOU."\n\n{Jesus's Example= "For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:..-1PETER 2:21}\nLUKE 4:16 "AND 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."\n\nMARK 2:23-28 "AND IT CAME TO PASS, THAT HE WENT THROUGH THE CORN FIELDS ON THE SABBATH DAY; AND HIS DISCIPLES BEGAN, AS THEY WENT, TO PLUCK THE EARS OF CORN. AND THE PHARISEES SAID UNTO HIM, BEHOLD, WHY DO THEY ON THE SABBATH DAY THAT WHICH IS NOT LAWFUL? AND HE SAID UNTO THEM, HAVE YE NEVER READ WHAT DAVID DID, WHEN HE HAD NEED, AND WAS AN HUNGRED, HE, AND THEY THAT WERE WITH HIM? HOW HE WENT INTO THE HOUSE OF GOD IN THE DAYS OF ABIATHAR THE HIGH PRIEST, AND DID EAT THE SHEW BREAD, WHICH IS NOT LAWFUL TO EAT BUT FOR THE PRIESTS, AND GAVE ALSO TO THEM WHICH WERE WITH HIM? AND HE SAID UNTO THEM, THE SABBATH WAS MADE FOR MAN, AND NOT MAN FOR THE SABBATH: THEREFORE THE SON OF MAN IS LORD ALSO OF THE SABBATH." {The Pharisees thought his disciples were breaking the Sabbath by plucking and eating corn; but Jesus told them it wasn't work. Jesus healed on the sabbath as helped people. On the Sabbath day you can even warm meals as boil water for oatmeal on the Sabbath. The work that you cannot do is cooking meals because it takes an hour or hours to cook or by staying in the fields to do hard labor or cleaning, shopping in the store, eating at restaura

I had years of misunderstanding about this myself because I thought that it meant that Christ spent 72 hours in the tomb. However, it means that He spent a part of three days in the tomb. See, Friday was the day He died and was buried. That was the first say. Saturday was the only whole day and was the second day. Then He rose on the third day, which was Sunday. The most important parts of this are the Death and Resurrection of Christ. Not the 72 hours or less. God Bless You for wanting to know. For more info on the atonement of Christ go to www.mormon.org.

It depends what you mean. If you mean when did people start to worship a God or Goddess, then evidence of early pagan religions have been found in cave paintings! So a long long long time ago\n\nEDIT: Just thought if you mean when did organised religion start, I know that Egyptian civilization can be traced back as far as 5000 bc ish, I think that when the very early form of their religion came into being. Not sure if theres any that are older.

The Egyptian deities could be many places at once.  They are portrayed as having once lived on earth before eventually ceding their direct rule to a line of human kings.\nTexts like the Am Duat "That Which is in the Underworld" from the New Kingdom, which are part of a larger tradition of religious texts like the Book of the Dead tell of the gods holding court in the underworld.\nHowever, Egyptian temples were also perceived by the Egyptians as houses for the various deities.  Statues were kept in the temples, they were bathed, dressed, had makeup applied to them and were "fed" daily by the priests and taken out on "visits" to other deities or to be paraded during various festivals.\nStatues in a broad sense in ancient Egypt were thought to be able to hold the soul or part of the soul of people and gods in order to receive offerings or to interact in some way with the living world.\nThere also seems to have been a belief that statues of various deities had healing powers as there are accounts of Egyptian deity statues being sent to other Near Eastern kings when those kings fell ill.

"God spoke all these words, saying: I am the Lord your God,who brought you out of Egypt, from the place of slavery. Do not have any other gods before Me. Do not represent [such] gods by any carved statue or picture of anything in the heaven above, on the earth below, or in the water below the land. Do not bow down to [such gods] or worship them. I am God your Lord, a God who demands exclusive worship. Where My enemies are concerned, I keep in mind the sin of the fathers for [their] descendants, to the third and fourth [generation]. But for those who love Me and keep My commandments, I show love for thousands [of generations]. Do not take the name of God your Lord in vain. God will not allow the one who takes His name in vain to go unpunished. Remember the Sabbath to keep it holy. You can work during the six weekdays and do all your tasks. But the seventh day is a Sabbath to God your Lord. Do not do anything that constitutes work. [This includes] you, your son, your daughter, your slave, your maid, your animal, and the foreigner in your gates. It was during the six weekdays that God made the heaven, the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. God therefore blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy. Honor your father and mother. You will then live long on the land that God your Lord is giving you. Do not commit murder. Do not commit adultery. Do not steal. Do not testify as a false witness against your neighbor. Do not be envious of your neighbor's house. Do not be envious of your neighbor's wife, his slave, his maid, his ox, his donkey, or anything else that is your neighbor's." (Exodus 20)\n\nWhat does it mean?\n\n"I am the LORD your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of slavery..." \nThis commandment is to believe in the existence of God and His influence on events in the world, and that the goal of the redemption from Egypt was to become His servants (Rashi). \n\n"Thou shall have no other gods besides Me... Do not make a sculpted image or any likeness of what is in the heavens above..." \nThis prohibits belief in or worship of any additional deities or fashioning them. \n\n"Thou shall not swear falsely by the name of the LORD..." \nThis commandment is to never take the name of God in a vain, pointless or insincere oath (Rashi). This includes four types of prohibited oaths: an oath affirming as true a matter one knows to be false, an oath that affirms the patently obvious, an oath denying the truth of a matter one knows to be true, and an oath to perform an act that is beyond one's capabilities.\n\n"Remember [zachor] the Sabbath day and keep it holy" (the version in Deuteronomy reads shamor, "observe") \nThe seventh day of the week is termed Shabbat and is holy, just as God ceased creative activity during Creation. The aspect of zachor (remember) is performed by declaring the greatness of the day (kiddush), by having three festive meals and by engaging in Torah study and pleasurable activities. The aspect of shamor is performed by abstaining from the 39 melachot (forbidden categories of activity) on the Shabbat.\n\n"Thou shall honour your father and your mother..." \nThe obligation to honor one's parents is an obligation that one owes to God and fulfills this obligation through one's actions towards one's parents. \n\n"Thou shall not murder" \nKilling an innocent human being is a capital sin. \n\n"Thou shall not commit adultery." \nAdultery is defined as cohabitation with a married woman (Rashi). \n\n"Thou shall not steal." \nThis is not understood as stealing in the conventional sense, since theft of property is forbidden elsewhere and is not a capital offense. In this context it is to be taken as "do not kidnap" (Rashi). \n\n"Thou shall not bear false witness against your neighbor" \nOne must not bear false witness in a

Sabbath is the 'day of rest' and is put aside for God.\nWhich day for you depends on your religion, I think for Jews it lasts from sunset friday to sunset Saturday. (please someone correct me if I'm wrong)\nFor Christians, it is Sunday.

Nothing. Lent is a pagan observance. Lent was first observed in Assyria and Palestine in the month of June. In Egypt it was the month of May when it was kept. When it finally migrated to Britain this pagan fast was observed in April. It seems to be a most flexible fast suitable for any type of pagan idolatry. For I notice that in 1950 the Roman Lent begins in February! \n\nRome's method of enveloping Babylon's Lent and incorporating it into her ritual should he noticed. About the year 525, Rome, pursuing her usual policy of absorbing the pagan observances and in order to gain nominal adherents to the church, engineered a new religious merger. Under the shrewd management of the Abbot Dionysus the Little, the pagan Lent was established as a church observance. And so the Church, now controlled from Rome, and fast sinking into every form of corruption, added yet this evil of a "sacred fast" to her list of idolatries. In his manipulations to fit a 40-day Lent into the calendar this same Dionysus caused the approximate date of Christ's birth to be changed four years later than the truth. This change of calendar brought in the grossest corruption and rankest superstition in connection with the abstinence of Lent. It was only the beginning of another form of Roman evil.\n\nLeave Lent alone. It will contaminate you.

I believe Scripture that He was in the tomb for 3 days & 3 nights. Even though we don't know exactly when the Resurrection occurred - when the disciples got to the tomb Sunday morn, it was already empty... it probably occurred about when the Sabbath rest ended Saturday at sunset & probably before midnight Saturday night. It is convoluted theology to expect that God would wait past midnight to schedule the resurrection on Sunday - the pagan day of worship - God has never tolerated anything pagan mixed in with His worship. The reason Christians worship on Sunday is because Emperor Constantine (practicing pagan until he was baptized on his death bed) decreed that the Sabbath must be desecrated in the Roman Empire and that Sunday would be the day of rest & worship for all, no matter what their religion. His decree called it "the venerable day of the sun god" & made NO mention of God, Jesus, Christ, Resurrection... or anything Christian. And his puppet Pope, Sylvester, rubber-stamped all of Constantine's heresies.\n\nCounting back from sunset on Saturday, you get a Wednesday Crucifixion! He would have been in the tomb Wed sunset to Thurs sunset (1st full nite & day), Thurs sunset to Fri sunset (2nd full nite & day), & Fri sunset to Sat sunset [THE SABBATH] (3rd nite & day).\n\nThere are many references in the NT to believers (i.e. "followers" of the Messiah & His Way) meeting on "the first day of the week"... which starts right after sunset on Saturday! One of the references is that Paul preached until midnight on the first day a the week - it doesn't say to droned on for 24 hours, or for even 12 hours (or whatever) on Sunday, he preached from after sunset to midnight on Saturday.
