Saturday/ Sunday worship goes by a variety of different names for different denominations of Christianity. Holy communion/Eucharist (Anglicans, Catholics, Uniting Church), the Mass (Catholics), Divine Liturgy (Orthodox), and Breaking of the Bread (Baptists) are just some names used. A very small number of Christians, eg Seven Day Adventists, worship on Saturday to maintain a link with the Jewish practice of gathering on Jewish Sabbath: Saturday. All other Christians observe Sunday as the 'Christian Sabbath'. While Christians differ on questions of how to celebrate Sunday Worship, and as to the meaning of the celebration, most Christians can agree on at least some reasons as to why it is important to gather for worship on Sunday or Saturday; * It is common human practice across all cultures to gather for meals to mark significant events * Jesus gathered with his Apostles the night before he died on the Jewish feast of Passover, "gave thanks" and instructed them to "Do this in memory of me". Luke 22:19 * The three synoptic gospels, Matthew, Mark and Luke all refer to the Last Supper * Jesus and the Disciples shared 'table fellowship' regularly with a variety of outcasts and sinners; however the Last Supper was clearly a solemn gathering distinctive from these other meals. * This regular, ritualised meal is a way of bonding the ekklesia (gathering of Christians) through participating in the collective act of memoria (of Jesus' life, death and resurrection). Although Christians differ significantly along the denominational lines on what they think is happening in this act of remembering.

Who will be affected if there is a Sunday law?
Sunday law is when they will force people to worship on Sunday even when we are suppose to have the freedom of religion. the people who will be affected are those who worship on the seventh day or Saturday the actual day of worship quoted in the king James bible in exodus verses 8-11. the mark of the beast is when they force everyone from around the world to worship on Sunday and those who refuse to worship on Sunday will be persecuted.
How can a Christian live out the fourth commandment?
Jewish Christians at first continued to worship on the Sabbath (Saturday), but very early after that they started their public worship on the "first day of the week" (Sunday) as that was the day that Jesus Christ resurrected. Most of Christianity worships on Sunday even to this day. It is not only a day of worship, but also a day of rest (Usually) and fellowship with other Christians or family. In my church on Sunday we have Sunday school, a worship hour, then Sunday night we have a time of singing and another preaching service. On Wednesday we have a bible study.
Why church of christ worships on Sunday and not Saturday when just because Jesus died on the cross god did not give a verbal scripture command to change the sabbath day to Sunday?
The church of Christ worships on Sundays, because in the old testament of the Bible, God made the Earth in 6 days and rested on the 7th. Therefore, they opt to rest and worship on Sunday just as God did.

Why change the sabbath?
"Sunday is a Catholic institution, and... can be defended only on Catholic principles... From beginning to end of Scripture there is not a single passage that warrants the transfer of weekly public worship from the last day of the week to the first." Catholic Press, Aug. 25, 1900 "The Sabbath was Saturday, not Sunday. The Church altered the observance of the Sabbath to the observance of Sunday. Protestants must be rather puzzled by the keeping of Sunday when God distinctly said, 'Keep holy the Sabbath Day.' The word Sunday does not come anywhere in the Bible, so, without knowing it they are obeying the authority of the Catholic Church."
Why is the Sabbath day now on Sunday not Saturday?
For Jews, this is not true. Shabbat starts Friday at sundown and ends Saturday at sundown as specified in the Torah. For Christians, it is not called the sabbath day. For them, it was always on Sunday. Another contributor added these comments: The Sabbath was observed by both Jew and Christian when the Christians came on the scene. 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. Belief that the Sabbath is on Sunday hasn't even been in existence for 2000 years yet! The Sabbath is still on the seventh day, Saturday, and God expects us to keep it!
Why is there no direct Scripture in the Bible that the Sabbath was changed to Sunday?
Roman Catholic AnswerBecause the Sabbath was NOT changed to Sunday. The Sabbath remains on Saturday, the last day of the week. Some of the Sabbath's observances have been changed to Sunday, for instance, a rest from servile labor, and the obligation to offer particular worship to God. But the change of the day of worship, and the obligations, as to rest and whatnot, are indicated by Jesus through His Church. The Scripture was never intended to be an all inclusive encyclopedia of Christian practice and belief. Even the Scripture clearly indicates that in numerous places. Jesus established His Church, and gave the command to go out and preach. No where he did indicate that they should sit down and write a Bible, the Bible was written as part of their preaching.So the change, as much as there was, was spelled out by the Church, not the Scripture; and by the very fact that Jesus fulfilled the old covenant and established the new covenant-which is defined and preached by the Church.
Why is Sunday the first day on the calendar when it is considered the last day on the week in daily living?
In the Old Testament of the Bible - which is a Jewish book - God made the world in 6 days and rested on the seventh. This rest day, the last day of the week, was Saturday, and became the Jewish sabbath. Jesus was crucified on a Friday and rose again on the Sunday. Christians keep Sunday as their holy day. This does not change the fact that Sunday is the FIRST day of the week The modern habit of considering Sunday the last day of the week has arisen since the adoption of the word WEEKEND to mean Saturday and Sunday. This does not change the fact that Sunday is the FIRST day of the week
