Sabbath on Saturday?

[Romeyo07]

Rom 14:5 One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day [alike]. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. (6) He that regardeth the day, regardeth [it] unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard [it]. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.

This was written when many Jews were becoming converted to Christianity. The general sentiment in the beginning of the chapter was to accept anyone who is willing to come, regardless of their personal convictions/traditions. The JEWISH sabbath was set for Saturday, but the customs of the gentiles wasn't. So long as they set a day that was in rememberance of the Lord, that was all that mattered. The gentiles were not forced to follow any Jewish tradition or custom. Along with this was their dietary habits, etc. So, don't bicker over the little things like this, so long as you are doing so.

So, to correct you, NO, you do NOT need to hold Saturday as the Sabbath, so long as you are setting a day aside just for the Lord. Many pro golfers that work on Sunday have a Chaplain join the group on Monday to do their "service". Many people now work on the weekend and can't attend a service. A devout follower would set his day off to be his "sabbath" day.

Unfortantely this Scripture has really nothing to do with the seventh day sabbath so is irellevant to that discussion. A common mistake mind you and a view held by many. Cermonial laws/"sabbaths" and the Law of Moses (Jewish law) are commonly mistaken for the 10 commandment principle/law of God.
The Bible makes quite a distinction between the two. One was given to MANKIND, and written in the hearts of men, the other "added" because of trangression and given to His "chosen" people. And theres alot more on that.

More mis-information. Nothing personal toward you mind you. The seventh day sabbath was created for MANKIND at Creation. Jesus Christ reiterated this. There was no such thing as a Jew when it was given to ALL.

So, to correct you, NO, you do NOT need to hold Saturday as the Sabbath, so long as you are setting a day aside just for the Lord.

A commonly held and very popular belief...but one that doesnt hold up well at all under Biblical scrutiny I am afraid. I have looked at this question a great deal over many years and I can tell you if you wish to keep "holy" another day you are left with nothing Biblical to hang it on. The Sabbath observer (in the seventh day context) wins this Biblical debate hands down. The sunday keeper is left with only "tradition" and his own man made observance of the ressurection.

Again, I am not trying to get you into my church, I belong to none.

I dont expect to persuade anyone really either as most people are content to continue in their traditions regardless of Scriptural instruction/evidence. To be honest, this is also true of many other subjects as well. People have a hard time going "against the grain" when it comes to many things, especially on a topic that would require major habit change AND especially when they feel blessed by their church association and their church doesnt teach/agree with it.
