Churches have always argued concerning the true Sabbath, and each has a different reason for worshipping Saturday or Sunday. Catholics will readily admit that they have the authority to change the Sabbath since the pope is the "vicar of Christ" or in the place of Christ. Seventh Day Adventist have a pretty good argument for still keeping the Saturday Sabbath...they claim no biblical passage authorizes a change in the 10 commandments, and unlike other laws that were written on paper to show that they won't last forever, the 10 commandments (including the Sabbath) were the only laws written on stones to signify it's everlasting place. Now you have Harold Camping from Family Radio, he has a pretty good argument for Sunday worship, the best I've seen so far, and YES, he uses the bible to support his view very well. I will post two links. one of Harold camping just scroll down on the left and click on SUNDAY THE SABBATH. The other link is of Samuele Bacchiocchi's book FROM SUNDAY TO SABBATH. This way you get to see both sides of the coin.

The Bible tells us that we need to attend church so we can worship God with other believers and be taught His Word for our spiritual growth (Acts 2:42; Hebrews 10:25). Church is the place where believers can love one another (1 John 4:12), encourage one another (Hebrews 3:13), “spur” one another (Hebrews 10:24), serve one another (Galatians 5:13), instruct one another (Romans 15:14), honor one another (Romans 12:10), and be kind and compassionate to one another (Ephesians 4:32).\n\nWhen a person trusts Jesus Christ for salvation, he or she is made a member of the Body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12:27). For a church body to function properly, all of its "body parts" need to be present (1 Corinthians 12:14-20). Likewise, a believer will never reach full spiritual maturity without the assistance and encouragement of other believers (1 Corinthians 12:21-26). For these reasons, church attendance, participation, and fellowship should be regular aspects of a believer's life. Weekly church attendance is not required for believers, but someone who has trusted Christ should have a desire to worship God, be taught His Word, and fellowship with other believers.

No; Christians don't worship on Sunday because of Jesus' resurrection. They worship on Sunday because at the Council of Nicea it was established that Christianity & Judaism must separate. Did you know that Saint Nicholas (AKA Santa Claus) was on this Council? This is where the ancient, Jewish Synagogue most Christians know as the Early Church\nsplit from it's Jewish roots. The early church was entirely Jewish at it's conception.\nThis council made very clear, deliberate rules to separate the Jewish practices from the Christian ones. The Church did start out worshipping on Saturday.\nUnderstand that in Genesis 1; it says the evening & the morning were the first day. It doesn't say from sunrise to sunset, but from sunset to sunrise! It reverses the way Americans view a day. This mindset is what differentiates the Gregorian calendar (solar) from the Hebraic (lunar) calendar. If you look in the story of David, Jonathan & Saul; it says they were celebrating the New Moon. Jews follow a lunar calendar, & their Sabbath is Friday sundown to Saturday sundown. This is the Biblically commanded holiday known as Sabbath; a weekly day of rest offered to mankind. Even the 10 Comandments say to honor it, yet Christians simply follow tradition instead of doing what the Bible commands.\nSo, Jews also worship on the same day of SDA people. From what I understand, they also keep Biblically kosher; correct?

Many do not believe that,because they don't believe in God. Many of them also say they know the Bible better than the believers,and thus they will also be held accountable for all the knowledge they have gotten from God's Word and still remained unbelievers.

I'm not totally sure why people don't join Christianity. But- I think it might have something to do with it contradicting itself constantly. Another reason might be because people like Evangelicals preach messages of Christ's love-only to turn around and use the Bible to perpetuate xenophobic ideals.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! SOMEBODY IS BRAVE ENOUGH TO SPEAK OUT IN TRUTH! You are 100% CORRECT! ALL of the so-called "holidays"(holydays) were NEVER commanded in the Bible-EVER!!! Jeremiah Chapter 10 directly mentions a "christmas tree" as an IDOL! Astarte (Easter) is mentioned many times in the Old Testament as an ABOMINATION TO GOD!!! Tammuz is also in the Old Testament! And not in a good way! People simply follow what the "crowd" says to follow! DOES THAT MAKE IT RIGHT??? Borrowing Pagan traditions and somehow transforming them into "holy days" is unacceptable worship to GOD! DON'T BELIEVE A NOBODY LIKE ME--READ YOUR BIBLE!!! Please see for yourself! Then you will know what God REALLY feels about man-made traditions.....

Many people find a beauty and moral truths in Christianity, regardless of the imperfection of the humans who brought the message.  Christianity is not superstition.  The words and days are not magic, but representations of ideas.\n\nReview again Christs' response that there are only 2 commandments, the most important is to love God, and the next to love your fellow man.  All other commandments from God follow from these two.\n\nDon't worry.  Be happy.  This is faith.

It is quite obvious that most of the people that replied to this really don't know what Messianic Judiasm is.  A person who practices Judiasm is someone who does not believe that Christ is the Messiah.  Jewish people recognize that Christ existed but like I said don't believe that he is the Messiah/Savior.  They are in fact still waiting for their Messiah.  On the other hand, A Messianc Jew is someone who practices all the same rituals of the Jewish faith BUT they ALSO believe that Christ IS the Messiah.  Bottom line, is that they are Christians who still practice the rituals(laws) of the old testament  but they believe that Christ is in fact their messiah.  Now, having said that, ANYONE can be a Messianic Jew as long as you have both of these elements.  You do NOT have to have been born a Jew.  The openly embrace anyone who has come to this realization.  It requires a great deal of study of the old testament (which they do so lovingly) and they embrace the traditions of Hanukkah.  Christmas is rejected not because they don't believe that Jesus (Jeshua - Hebrew name for Jesus) was the messiah, (because they DO), but because Christmas is really a pagan holiday.  It's a made - up holiday, who's origins really have nothing to do with Christ at all, and because they believe it's totally against God to do anything outside of the bible.  Christmas as we know it is not even mentioned in the bible.  Christmas trees, ornaments and all the fluff and stuff of Christmas they feel is a slap in Christ's face.  They believe that most people who "practice" Christmas don't even THINK about Christ and do it only for the exchange of gifts. And most of us reading this, know that to be exactly the case.  In fact, it's highly doubtful that Christ was even born in December.  Many scholars believe that His birthdate was actually around early September.  In any case, the Messianic faith is a BEAUTIFUL blending of old Jewish traditions/laws from the old testament AND that Jesus (Jeshua) is LORD/SAVIOUR and Messiah.  I know because my brother and his family have practiced this faith for many years.   I am a born again Christian myself and my brother has greatly taught me a lot about the old testatment and the festivals.  It was on his heart to do so as well.   He came to this realization while as a Christian he began studying the old testament at great length and in particular the mosaic laws.  Christian faiths alone don't practice all the festivals because they have interpreted the bible to read that once Christ was given it negated the need to live by the Mosaic law from the old testament.  Messianic jews interpret the bible differently in that the Messiah's coming did NOT mean that you didn't need to still continue the laws and practices from the old testament.  If it's in your heart to follow these laws/practices, then do so.  G-d in fact may be tugging at your heart to do so.  My brother found great joy in this, lived it every day of his converted life and praised the saving grace of Jesus (Jeshua) to anyone that would listen.  Continue to study on your own and the Lord will lead you to exactly where He wants you to go.

We as Christains are not bound by the old testament anymore thats why Jesus came to set us free from those laws..Jesus says to love one another as He has loved us..Very plain..To know Jesus we will want to walk more like Him everyday and not do things to cause us to be seprated..

It's important to have the right religion. If you don't go by all bible priciples then what is the point of saying that you are of any religion.

I believe this, but it's hard in a world where the jewish peoples don't believe in the new testament."But believe what you want to, that's what freedom is all about".They only believe the old where moses said basically an eye for an eye.The new testament, Jesus fulfilling the prophecies of the old is about love and forgiveness, and we need alot more of it.So much of our country reminds me of Rome just before it fell,the rich senators, our global reach (not to spread piece either) if our leader and lawmakers practiced this we wouldn't be hated so.We need to spend some of our money on peace,it would go alot further to help the world.THOU SHALT LOVE THY LORDTHY GOD WITH ALL THY HEART,AND WITH ALLTHEY SOUL AND WITH ALL THY STRENGTH: THOU SHALT LOVE THY NEIGHBOR AS THYSELF.THERE IS NONE OTHER COMMANDMENT GREATER THAN THESE. Mark 12:30-31. Peace

You are not alone, but in the minority.  The Bible doesn't say that you have to go to church, but having fellowship with other believers.  We do need to fellowship.  A friend once told me that the definition of fellowship is two fellows in a ship going the same direction.  It is important for you to spend time with like minded individuals.  \n\nAs for man-made traditions and doctrines, I definitely agree with you.  I have found many non-biblical teachings throughout my years and they tend to leave a bitter taste in ones mouth.  \n\nRead your Bible and pray daily.  Make sure to take the time to teach the Word of God to your children and you should do just fine.

no, Christians believe that there all knowing god suddenly changed his mind about how he wanted people to live and how to worship him. so they pay no attention to the first half of the bible unless it happens to back an argument they are having...

In terms of Christianity, it is forbidden by the bible.

It's no mystery.  The old testament covers Jewish morality.  Start with the ten commandments, for example.  You know Jewish morality already, you just don't realize it.

Most people tend to worship mysterious things. Things that cannot proved. Things like God.\n\nThings people know scientifically are hard to worship. Science has taken the mystery away from many things including death. There is now much less worship of the sun, the moon, and nature.\n\nMost religions believe in life after death. \n\nDeath has very little hold over most people of faith.\n\nChristianity believes Jesus has conquered death and sin for us.\n\nWith love in Christ.
