As a former member of a major Protestant denomination, I asked my pastor, why do we have public worship on Sunday, when the Bible teaches that the Sabbath (Saturday) should be observed? He sent me to his teacher who had 35 years in the scriptures when he could not answer my question. His pastor told me to repent of what I was beginning to accept and believe in my heart that what the church taught was true. I simply said that I would believe it in my heart, when he showed it to me in the word of God. When our meeting ended, I realized that neither pastor would open the Bible with me. That spurred me on to greater study, and I have never turned back.

Ironically, some 20 years later, I heard my former pastor doing a radio broadcast on the subject of the Sabbath and he said we know the Sabbath is on Saturday. He went on to say we observe Sunday because Jesus rose from the dead on that day. If you have ever studied this subject, you know that my former pastors reason for Sunday worship is the most popular reason given to justify the change. The problem is that neither God or the apostles ever commanded man to abandon the Sabbath (7th day) for any reason.

Why did my pastor know that the Sabbath is on Saturday? Simply because the calendar record shows that the seventh day at the time Jesus walked the earth is the same seventh day we call Saturday today. Since Jesus made it (John 1:3, Mark 2:27-28, Genesis 2:2-3 ), and commanded it (Exodus 20:8-10), we need not go back any further in time than when He walked the earth to know that we are keeping the very same day He made at creation. If you are unsure about this, there are libraries of information that will prove it to you. Simply look up the words “Sabbath”, “Saturday” and “Sunday” in any good secular or Biblical dictionary or encyclopedia at your local library, and you will find time and again that the Sabbath of God is on the day we call Saturday and that Sunday was decreed by man and not God. Any Biblical Scholar of note (Jewish or Christian and most Christian Scholars keep Sunday), readily admit that the Sabbath in scripture is Saturday, and the day that Jesus, our example, always observed. And Jesus said, Follow me.
