Was the Seventh-day Adventist Church the first church to keep the Sabbath in the US?

Answer 1

Yes... hence the name, Seventh-day Adventists. The founders of the Seventh-day Adventist church kept the seventh day of the week, Saturday, holy as the Sabbath, according to the fourth commandment (Exodus 20:8-10).

Answer 2

Seventh Day Adventist Sabbath

As a Seventh Day Adventist life on the Sabbath is all towards Jesus. We forget about all the wordly things around us and focus on Jesus Christ. We attened church , and eat our Sabbath meal ( that was Prepared on that Friday ). Our Sabbath starts when the Sun sets on Friday and ends when the Sun sets on Saturday. The entire Sabbath is geard towards Jesus. All day evryday. We may take Nature walks, watch a movie about Jesus, read The Bible , act out stories from the Bible. Just things like that

Answer 3

No. Seventh Day Baptists were keeping the Sabbath in what is now the US back in the 1600s. The Millerite movement from which the Seventh-day Adventist Church came did not even start until the 1800s.

Answer 4

On Saturday, the true 7th day of the week we have Sabbath. On the first 6 days of the week (Sunday - Friday) we do our normal work just like everyone else. In creation, the Lord created the universe in 6 days and set the 7th day aside for rest and worship. Keep in mind that in creation: night came first, then day. Thus, the sabbath begins at sundown on Friday and goes until sundown Saturday. On the 7th day we do no work and we worship the Lord or perform activities that have to do with the Lord. In church we worship, we have bible lessons, and we have lunch with the other adventist. Our churches are more than happy to welcome visitors as well. We can also do the Lord's work, for example feeding the homeless in Chicago, IL.
