Besides my believe in reincarnation /as I stated in previous post/ I also believe that SUNDAY is not the original day to worship
Our GOD Jesus Christ. It's SATURDAY.
When many years ago I've heard of this I rolled my eyes in disbelieve that someone can even come up with such a hypocrisy.
But being curious I said OK -I will "budged" 1 hour of my time and read about it...if after 1 hour I will fell that this theory has some logic to it
I will dedicate more time to, or quit.
And I did,..and it was clear that this "crazy" theory was 100% correct.
So here we go...
GOD the Father give the
10 Commandments, he wrote them Himself,with his "finger" as it says in the Old Testament.
Ten Commandments and Moses.
The Ten Commandments were written by God upon two tablets of stone and then given to Moses on mount Sinai.
Most scholars date this event around the 13th or 14th century BC.
God gave the Decalogue or 10 commandments to the Israelites shortly after they left Egypt.
The record of the Ten Commandments can be found in the Bible, both in Exodus 20:2-17 and Deuteronomy 5:6-21.
Ten Commandments:
King James VersionGod's Law, the Ten Commandents, is expressed in Exodus 20:2-17 (KJV) with the following,
“I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage".
1. Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
2. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
3. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
4. Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou,
nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days
the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
5. Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.
6. Thou shalt not kill.
7. Thou shalt not commit adultery.
8. Thou shalt not steal.
9. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
10. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant,
nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbor’s."
Now we know that Jesus come and changed old laws to new laws,..like from "
eye for an eye" He said "
love your neighbour -and- love
and pray for your oppressors" ,..and some more, but Jesus never said anything about changing any law in the 10 Commandments.
Why not?? - if Jesus was instructing his followers to change other laws why not to say anything about changing this one also?
Maybe because it's not supposed to be changed,..maybe day of worship should stay the same as is stated by GOD in His "instruction manual"
he give to us.
You see all other laws in the Old Testament were given-instructed by GOD but were written by scribes,..this set of laws the 10 Commandments
were so important that GOD decided to write them with His own hand.
Now, the first Christians for many years after Christ was crucified and raised from the dead they were observing the sabbath as a worship day.

here is a very well presented article on this topic:
"WHO CHANGED THE SABBATH TO SUNDAY?"
http://cgi.org/who-changed-the-sabbath-to-sunday/-
quick partial quote/:
"
Constantine Made Sunday a Civil Rest Day"
When Emperor Constantine I—a pagan sun-worshipper—came to power in A.D. 313, he legalized Christianity and made the first Sunday-keeping law.
His infamous Sunday enforcement law of March 7, A.D. 321, reads as follows: “On the venerable Day of the Sun let the magistrates
and people residing in cities rest, and let all workshops be closed.”
(Codex Justinianus 3.12.3, trans. Philip Schaff, History of the Christian Church, 5th ed. (New York, 1902), 3:380, note 1.)
The Sunday law was officially confirmed by the Roman Papacy. The Council of Laodicea in A.D. 364 decreed,
“Christians shall not Judaize and be idle on Saturday but shall work on that day; but the Lord’s day they shall especially honour,
and, as being Christians, shall, if possible, do no work on that day. If, however, they are found Judaizing,
they shall be shut out from Christ” (Strand, op. cit., citing Charles J. Hefele, A History of the Councils of the Church, 2 [Edinburgh, 1876] 316).

end of quote-more facts are presented in the article.
Let's explore now the claim that the change was done to honor day of Jesus's resurrection /on Sunday/.
But the twist in this concept is that there is no proof in the scriptures that Jesus was resurrected on Sunday,but it was discovered
by Mary Magdalene that his tomb was empty on early Sunday.
..
quote:/
Also, John 20:1 tells us that “on the first day of the week Mary Magdalene went to the tomb early, while it was still dark,
and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb.”
Did you catch the problem here? John tells us it was still dark when Mary went to the tomb on Sunday morning and found it empty.
Jesus was already resurrected well before daybreak.
Thus He wasn’t in the tomb any of the daylight portion of Sunday, so none of that can be counted as a day.

here is article with very interesting take on it:
"Jesus Wasn't Crucified on Friday or Resurrected on Sunday"
https://www.ucg.org/the-good-news/jesus-wasnt-crucified-on-friday-or-resurrected-on-sunday-how-long-was-jesus-in-the/
there are several sites that analyze this topic -you can check them ,I found this one to be more easy to follow/
(
Note: study of this topic is not for the impatient person-it takes time and analytical mind to follow the presentations)
But if you preserver you will be rewarded with understanding of a great deception.
Also on the week that Jesus was crucified there was two sabbaths ,one annual Sabbath-(Passover) and a weekly Sabbath (Saturday)
Regular week has only one sabbath, but this was special week with two sabbaths in it, and therefore there is a confusion on witch day
Jesus was crucified, and it was not on good Friday, but it was on Wednesday.
And his resurrection was not on Sunday but on Saturday,..on Sunday (actually even before official Sunday -because it was still dark)
when Mary Magdalene discovered that his tomb was already empty, and as we know in Jewish tradition day officially starts at sun rise and ends at sun down.
If you are interested to study this you will understand deep conspiracy and that will lead you to better understand forthcoming events...
