Day of rest, Sat, or Sun.?

[emc group]

How do the christians come up with sunday being the 7th day? Every where I look seems sunday is first day of week, therefore making sat. the day of rest. I have family on both sides of fence and both insist they have the true god. Me, I'm still ON the fence playing it safe till something real happens.

Like, God would come down and tell us what day Sunday really is - first or seventh?

Might be waiting a long time on that fence...

I am actually quite fine on the fence. Great view, and I do not need to commit to any organization. My question really is, why do christians go to church on the first day of the week, when their god rested on the seventh?

Sunday isn't observed as the day of worship because God rested on the seventh day, but because Jesus respawned was resurrected.

Sorry C.A. I think I need to make a stiff drink to figure out what that means, I assume it is so far from your reality that we must make jest, that's ok though.

Just pointing out that day of rest isn't connected to God's resting on seventh day...Na zdrowie.

[Hmmm]

you strain the gnat but swallow the fly.

I'm pretty sure the day of rest thing came out of the god dude's inability to handle a week of work and taking the seventh day off. (Which could be why we have the seventh inning stretch in baseball too, but that could be pushing it.)

The fictional character Jesus in the bible novel was resurrected two days after the whole dying on the cross thing (hence why Easter Sunday takes place two days after Good Friday).

None of which explains hot cross buns.

I agree it is all very far fetched, my parents did the fri sundown to sat sundown thing. I have been told more times than I can count, that this is the end time, and given a date, only to be let down. Get's a little thin after a while. I would be em bare assed to be wrong that many times.

Explain to me why most of the 12 Apostles went to Parthia and Scythia and Parthia becomes the first Christian nation 100 years after Christ? How did that happen?

Rode a camel?
Rode a donkey?
Hitched a ride with the FSM ?

I think hanging off a cross is a helluva gross way to spend Easter. I'd rather have chocolate.

For sure, eh? If they'd stuffed an Easter Egg in his mouth he'd have gotten the best part of Easter.

Best thing I've read about religion in a long time

It doesn't matter what day you do something, it matters how you do it.

Jesus told us to love one another. Forget that. You can have huge $million dollar
churches with $million dollar incomes, and they can talk about loving one anohter either
Saturday or Sunday, and they can sing songs together - there will be a big percentage
of the people stabbing someone in the back, every Sunday, or Saturday.
