What is the true position of Sunday is it the first day of the week or the seventh day which day is the Sabbath day?
PRINCEWILLESARA
Sunday is the first day of the week, and Saturday is the seventh day of the week, which is the Sabbath. Because Jesus rose from death on the first day of the week, Sunday became known as "The Lord's Day." That has led many to mistakenly think of Sunday as the Sabbath. European calendars show Monday on the left as the first day of the week and Sunday on the right as the seventh day.

∙ 8y agoThe Sabbath is the last day of the week - Saturday, as required by God for the Jews. When Our Blessed Lord rose from the dead, the weekly observance set aside for God was changed to Sunday, the first day of the week in honor of Our Blessed Lord's resurrection. And the weekly observance was transferred by the Christians to that day as well. The Sabbath remains on Saturday, but the Christian observance of the Sabbath rest is transferred to Sunday, "the eighth day". The day on which God REMADE the world.

∙ 8y agoIn the Western Hemisphere predominantly, Sunday is the first day of the week. The Sabbath is the same today for all disciples of Christ as sunset Friday to sunset Saturday and will remain the same time until Christ's 2nd Coming and the Millennial Rule - finally giving mankind 'Rest.'
The confusion as to which day to keep as our day of 'Rest' comes from misinterpretations by humankind predominantly during the 4th Century AD by the Roman authorities - predominantly Emperor Constantine who had a deep distain for anything perceived 'Jewish.' There are many secular writings to prove this and other changes to 'The Way' Jesus and the Apostles followed.

Not until pagan worship was inter mixed with the Christian beliefs was the idea of Sunday worship introduced. that was fortified by Constantine. God never intended there to be Sunday worship, he instructed us to remember the seventh day as the Sabbath of the living God.

Why do Jewish have Sabbath on that day?
Answer 1Jews have a sabbath day on Saturday, the sixth day of the week god created the world on the sixth day so they believe that its a holy day. On the Sabbath they wear their best cloths and have a massive feast they are not allowed to work on the Sabbath.Answer 2Answer 1 is incorrect as to how the Jews count the days. Jews start with Sunday as the first day, making Shabbat or Saturday the seventh day of the week. The seventh day is holy since God ceased his labors on that day. The Christians changed this method of counting, making Sunday the seventh day to coincide with Easter Sunday, which in their view was the beginning of the New Holy Sabbath. As for why Saturday was chosen (as opposed to Wednesday), that just happens to be how the Hebrew weekly calendar corresponds to the Western calendar and has nothing to do with any special characteristic of Saturn (from which Saturday is derived).
Why do you say the Sabbath was made for God when the bible says it was made for man?
The seventh day is said to be Sabbath because a man said it. The seventh day is on Sunday. Another Answer: Look at any calendar and see that the last day is Saturday while the first is Sunday - in most countries. It was God who 'rested' on the Sabbath and made is sacred - a sign between His followers and Him. Mankind is to rest and consider the creation and the Creator. God is to be the center of our thoughts that day. Indeed, the 'week' was given to man by God and no man calculated it or invented it though some have tried to reset the number of days to as few as four and as many as a dozen or so. God never said the Sabbath was made for God.
