Is it weird that Christians and Jews disagree on when the Sabbath is?
October 21st, 2009 | by admin |I think the Sabbath is either on Teabag Tuesday or humpday wednesday.
Christians agree with Jewish people that the Biblical Sabbath is from 6 PM Friday to 6 PM Saturday. Where the divergence lies is that Christians do not agree that they are still under the "Sabbath Law".
Instead Christians choose to celebrate "The Lord’s Day" which is Sunday when the Lord Jesus rose from the dead.

As they are different religions, I can understand why they don’t agree on the Sabbath. A little common sensical, I think.

No, Sabbath is on Satisfying Saturday.
There is no scriptural mandate, or real reason for the church to keep Silly Sunday.
But it is most definitely not Marvelous Monday!

They don’t disagree. The Sabbath has always been from Fri night to Sat night. Christians worship on the first day of the week Sun. Other than the seventh day adventist cult. Christians don’t keep the sabbath day as it was a commandment given the jews. Jesus fulfilled the law and it is no longer in effect.

We don’t disagree; you are confused because you think that the
Sabbath is that one time each week. There are weekly Sabbaths and
then there are high Sabbaths as well. Passover is a high Sabbath.
The Feast of Tabernacles is a high Sabbath, etc.
I am a Christian and I celebrate those high Sabbaths as well as the
weekly Sabbath from sundown to sundown, not Sunday morning or
just Saturday evening. Catholics are the Sunday morning crowd,
or Saturday night crowd. The Sabbath is Friday sundown until Saturday sundown.
Personally, I am a Christian all week long. Christianity is not a
religion, it is a reality. Every day of the week I am a Christian.

Not at all.
Xians did this (under the guise of "resurrection sunday") to separate themselves from Judaism (for some reason they see our laws as ‘impossible to keep’) while at the same time using us as a crutch on which to ‘base’ their own religion (the non-sensical ‘judeo-xian’ etc.) that’s the weird part.

If you travel east from Israel, paying attention to sunsets, the sabbath would indeed be Friday in the USA and So. America.

It is no weird. The Sabbath is Saturday. The Christians chose to make Sunday the Lord’s day. That is not equivalent to the Sabbath.

The Sabbath is from sunset Friday to Sunset Saturday. The Sabbath was put into effect thousands of years before the Jews at creation as a memorial to God’s handiwork. All the early Christians obeyed it up until Pope Constantine decreed it changed to Sunday. He did this to bring barely disguised pagan rites into the Christian church in order to make a single state religion. He also did this to separate the Christians from the Jews. The only laws that were fulfilled at the cross were the ceremonial laws that pointed (prior to the cross) to the impending death of Jesus and the fulfilment of prophecy. Jesus death invoked the end of the earthly priesthood. From that time on Jesus became our high priest and we no longer had to go through the earthly priesthood for our salvation. The Ten commandments were not a part of the ceremonial law and have always been in effect. Many protestant churches try to sidestep the issue of keeping the Sabbath. When the protestant churches split from the Catholics and read the Bible in their own languages, they made changes according what they found there. Had they kept on looking for the truth. following the deaths of their various founders (Calvin, Wesley and Luther among others), they would have found that the Sabbath was the seal of God. Those who will be his remnant in the last days (according to the book of Revelation) will accept Jesus and keep his laws (including the 7th day Sabbath). No where in the Bible does it say the Sabbath has ever been rescinded. How hard is it to understand "Remember"?
I do find it interesting that some answerers choose to call certain religions (even mainstream ones) as "cults". Name calling generally is used as a last resort when you no longer have any points to argue. If you follow the Bible only and believe that it interprets itself, then you can come to only one conclusion – the Sabbath is on Saturday. Anything else is probably based on centuries of tradition that have no Biblical basis, or were instituted by men. Note, Jesus rose on Saturday night. It was his empty tomb that was found on the Sunday.
