[Joshua]

I believe that we should worship the Lord on the Lords Day. Rev. tells us that the Lords Day is Sunday. If you look up the definition of Sabbath in the back of most Bibles you will find that it's a day of rest. For the Jews they practice Saturday Sabbath and for the Christians they practice a Sunday Sabbath. Have we changed anything in the Bible with the worship of Jesus on either of these days? Not by definition. If you choose to worship Jesus Christ on Saturday and your heart and motives are in the right place then do it. If you choose to worship on Sunday as I do make sure that your heart and mind are right and do it. What I am saying is that this issue is blown way out of proportion and the arguments that it creates only achieves separation and division. As followers of God we already have plenty of people that reject God and reject us. Do we really want to be like those people and reject others? This seems really hateful and ungodly. We do not serve a God of separation and rejection.

One other problem with this whole Saturday or Sunday thing is the view that some groups hold that Sunday worship is the worship of a sun god. If this is a fact then the worship on Saturdays is the worship of the god of Saturn. This kind of thinking is heavily flawed and I wish that people would stop trying to us this kind of thing as a reason why we're right and you're wrong. There is no way that myself or any other Christian has been or ever will worship a sun god. There is no such thing as worshipping a god without knowing! If this was a possibility then EVERYONE is worshipping false gods all of the time. You are worshipping the god of air with every breath without knowing it. You are worshipping the god of the ground everytime you take a step. Without knowing it of course. I know that I am putting some really stupid examples here but my point is that you cannot do this kind of thing unknowingly. On Sundays we worship Jesus Christ with our voices, thoughts, hearts, and minds. Myself I really get into this at times and I always feel His presence when I spend time worshipping Him. When it comes right down to it, who created everything including the sun anyway? I celebrate the creator of all things on Sunday and I do it willingly with everything that is within me. As Christians this is what we are to do. Parts of the old testament show Saturday, parts of the new testament show Sunday. The bible says not to let anyone judge you on your choice of Sabbath. All I want to encourage  you to do is worship Jesus Christ and not judge others when they do the same.

Ok Renita. You are right in saying that. I will agree because a lot can lead to knowledge. Well said on your part.

Hey Joshua, can you provide me with the verse in Rev, that say's the Lord's day is sunday? 

Rev 1:10 "On the Lord’s Day I was in the Spirit, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet"

Ignatius (who lived in the first century: http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/07644a.htm) mentioned the Lord's Day in his letter to the Christians of Magnesia.  Here's a quote:

"If then those who had walked in ancient practices attained unto newness of hope, no longer observing sabbaths but fashioning their lives after the Lord's day, on which our life also arose through Him and through His death which some men deny–a mystery whereby we attained unto belief, and for this cause we endure patiently, that we may be found disciples of Jesus Christ our only teacher–if this be so, how shall we be able to live apart from Him?"
