Actually, the Seventh Day Sabbath was changed when Christ rose from the dead.
This is what I learned in Catholic school, and have never seen anything to dispute it. Sunday was changed to the day of worship for the Christians, to commemorate Jesus’ return to Earth. Of course, Easter is specifically the day, but Sundays are used to remind us.
I suspect somewhere along the line, it had to be a Papal edict, but until then, it became “official” by constant usage.
Muslims and Jews still use Friday at Sundown to mark the start of Sabbath.
Thanks MF.
There is no scriptural basis for any change in the Sabbath. Easter is not mentioned in scripture, and neither is any mention made of Sunday being used to commemorate anything. There was indeed a Papal edict issued in regard to Sabbath being changed to Sunday, but does the Pope get to supercede scripture? Tradition is a very powerful force, especially in modern day christianity.
