Question for anyone who might happen to know:

If Jesus rose from the dead on Easter Sunday, what is the significance of Easter Monday.

And to think, the Sabbath day was so important to the Old Testament Jews that they made it one of the Ten Commandments. And now Christians everywhere dismiss it's importance. The Sabbath day? Who cares if it's saturday or sunday; doesn't matter, right? Then some of these same contortionist Christians use the Bible, as if it's some kind of fixed, unchanging authority,to condemn homosexualality. No wonder so many thinking people leave the church.

None of this matters. the stories in the Bible are just that, stories. Think about it like this: if there were really a god who wanted us to know him, would there be any doubt of his existence? Must we rely on a collection of made up stories? Wouldn't he just make us all aware that he is there? Instead we have a whole bunch of happy Jesus robots running around telling we're gonna go to hell if we don't believe. My conclusion: definetly no Jesus. No god.

Sunday is the Christian Sabbath. The Gospel accounts have Jesus rising on the first day of the week, which is Sunday. The Christian Church moved the commemoration of the Sabbath to Sunday.

Pliny, the governor of Bithynia writes to the Emperor Trajan concerning the Christians in the Second Century A.D.:

"They asserted, however, that the sum and substance of their fault or error had been that they were accustomed to meet on a fixed day before dawn and sing responsively a hymn to Christ as to a god..."

Justin Martyr, an early Christian apologist and theologian, writes around 150 A.D.:

"But Sunday is the day on which we all hold our common assembly, because it is the first day on which God, having wrought a change in the darkness and matter, made the world; and Jesus Christ our Saviour on the same day rose from the dead. For He was crucified on the day before that of Saturn (Saturday); and on the day after that of Saturn, which is the day of the Sun, having appeared to His apostles and disciples, He taught them these things, which we have submitted to you also for your consideration"

It is evident from Scripture, Tradition, and History that the day for Christian assembly is Sunday.

I really don't think God cares. The majoirty take Sunday as their Sabbath. Some take Saturday. We should respect both views.

Colossians 2:16 "Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday"

And the dates that we celebrate Easter and Christmas may have been used at one time as pagan holidays but now we use those dates to honor Him. They now have nothing to do with paganism.

You make a good point. What folks do not realise is that Easter is really a pagan holiday. If you do not believe me just do some searching on your own. Easter bunnies, eggs and such were part of the worship of the fertility gods. It was one of the Roman emperors that decided to embrace Christianity-I think it was Constantine. But he had the paganism mixed in with scriptural happenings and in that took away the Jewish meanings into this. Jesus was a Jew and He partook in all of the Holy Days that were ordained by God.

I am just writing as it is coming to me right now but I will make sure that I get all of my info correct and post again.
