What are facts about sabbath?

Answer 1

In Judaism the Sabbath Day was the day of rest. No work was to be performed on this day, which was Saturday. The Sabbath began at sundown and lasted until sunset of the following day. All work including the gathering of manna was to be done ahead of time so that there was enough food to eat during the Sabbath. On other days the Israelites were only allowed to collect one days worth of food. When some took more than allowed, the manna would spoil. But on the day that they were told to collect extra for the Sabbath, the food would last an extra day without spoiling. With the coming of Christ, the Apostles changed Sunday to the day of the Lord and it is also known as the 8th day ( as prophecied in the Old Testament). Many of the Jews became Christian and this day replaced the Sabbath that was honored on Saturday previously. Although Sunday was known as the Lord's Day and not the Sabbath day, Christians were still not supposed to work on this day but set it aside to worship God and do things that are spiritually edifying. With the fullfillment of all of the prophecies of the Old Testament, Christ came to die and resurrect in order to conquer death. So in effect the Sabbath was no longer the most important day as Resurrection day(the new Passover), which was on Sunday, became the greatest day of all. Some who consider themselves Christians today erroneously consider the Sabbath day as the most important day and still honor it as the Jews of the Old Testament did (namely 7th day Adventists, among others). These people are ignoring the teachings of the Apostles and the New Testament and thereby are ultimately disobeying the tradition handed down through Christ's Apostles. Many have lost the tradition as they follow only The Bible and are unaware of all of the teachings of Christ and the Apostles. Tradition is one of the most important aspects of the Jewish and Christian religions as for thousands of years most instruction and information has not been written down, but passed on by tradition.
