I am not religious by any means, but if you think about it, what is the 7th day? It' Sunday.Now, if God created the universe in 6 days, the 7th day is used to praise God for what He has given us while he rests. That is why many people go to church on Sunday.To me, that seems like a logical answer. I could be wrong, but from a logical point of view, that's what I see the 7th day as.
I'll agree that you're a fucking moron.

If you read the gospels you'll notice that Jesus acknowledges the Sabbath as the same day as the Jews and never attempts to imply that Saturday is the wrong day.
People and Muslims (especially infinite) shouldn't take religious scriptures too seriously. They are ancient, people used to be stupider and so priests had to write in a way for the average joe to understand.
what's strange is if you take any kind of religios course in college, you learn that certain stories in the bible and koran existed in other forms... Noah and his arc was a story similar to one tha ancient greeks used to tell, except it was their gods that caused the flood and that it wasn't noah and his family that built the arc...there were other stories but i can't remember them now
One God Famous Orthodox Icon representing three angels that visited Abraham as a symbol of the Trinity.God is a single being. The Hebrew Bible lifts this one article of faith above others, and surrounds it with stern warnings against departure from this central issue of faith, and of faithfulness to the covenant God had made with them. "Hear O Israel! Jehovah is our God; Jehovah is one" (or "Jehovah alone", Deuteronomy 6:4) (the Shema), "You shall have no other gods before me" (Deuteronomy 5:7) and, "This is what the LORD says- Israel's King and Redeemer, the LORD Almighty: I am the first and I am the last; apart from me there is no God." (Isaiah 44:6). Any formulation of an article of faith which does not insist that God is solitary, that divides worship between God and any other, or that imagines God coming into existence rather than being God eternally, is not capable of directing people toward the knowledge of God, according to the trinitarian understanding of the Old Testament. The same insistence is found in the New Testament: "there is no God, but one" (1 Corinthians 8:4). The "other gods" warned against are therefore not gods at all, but unequal substitutes for God. So, in the trinitarian view, the common conception which thinks of the Father and Christ as two separate beings, seems to be a profoundly mistaken one. The central, and crucial affirmation of Christian faith is that there is one savior, God, and one salvation, in Jesus Christ, to which there is access only because of the Holy Spirit. The God of the Old is still the same as the God of the New. In Christianity, it is understood that statements behind a solitary god are intended to deviate from the polytheistic views where power is shared between several beings. Instead, the power exists in one being that exists in all three forms somewhat like the way light can be a wave or a particle.

Why don't majority of Christians?I asked this once in a thread of my own and didn't really get no difinite answers.

His questions were more rhetorical than inquiring. He wanted to establish the power of God then try and downplay Jesus with the last question. He's an idiot for thinking anyone would fall for it, but he's an even bigger idiot because he probably fell for it himself when he was first presented with these questions..Actually, I'm not an idiot and I am being totally logical. Tell me what is illogical about what I am purposing? The Creator is the eternal, the absolute. He is greater than anything within his creation. He is not bound by the laws of the creation, for he is the Creator! He created the condition of hunger for man, but he himself does not get hungry and he does not eat! The Creator does not sleep, for if he slept who would sustain his creation? And I am 100% sure the Creator of the Worlds does not need to use the restroom!Next question for Christians... For Muslims, the Noble Qu'ran clearly explains that no sleep nor slumber can overtake God (Allah). Yet, the Bible says that God "slept on the 7th day". So my question for the Christians is, who is maintaining and sustaining the Earth while God is sleeping?he rested, not slept moron, it means he quit creating... and even if he did sleep...how is everything just going to stop existing? most people here were created by parents and parents sleep, we didn't just die when our creators fell asleep so once again you made a stupid comment you are an idiot infinite, if you were "logical" then you wouldn't even believe in something that cannot be proven i.e. the existance of Allah, because most religions defy logic...they rely on faith...once again, ignore my posts because they make you look stupid

because the Roman Catholic religion was altered to benefit certain people... 7th day adventist christians may be trying to practise the correct shit.

It's suppose to be from sunset on Friday till sunset on Saturday, right? You're suppose to rest and give the day to the lord, right? Why is it that only 7th day adventist christians do this? Why don't majority of Christians?I asked this once in a thread of my own and didn't really get no difinite answers.
