Sabbath or Sunday
Ex 20:8
Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
***************
"I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the
land of slavery.
1. You shall have no other gods before me.
2. You shall not make for yourself an idol
in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the
waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD
your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers
to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a
thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.
3. You shall not misuse the name of the
LORD your God, for the LORD will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his
name.
4. Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it
holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a
Sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor
your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant, nor your animals, nor
the alien within your gates. For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the
earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day.
Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.
5. Honor your father and your mother, so
that you may live long in the land the LORD your God is giving you.
6. You shall not murder.
7. You shall not commit adultery.
8. You shall not steal.
9. You shall not give false testimony
against your neighbor.
10. You shall not covet your neighbor's
house. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his manservant or
maidservant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor."

And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on.

the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled
for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
20 And when he had so said, he shewed unto
them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the
Lord.
21 Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be
unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.
22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy
Ghost:
( the day of Pentecost was not yet come, yet
these were given the Holy Ghost )
23 Whose soever sins ye remit, they are
remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain,
they are retained.
24 But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus,
was not with them when Jesus came.
25 The other disciples therefore said unto him, We
have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I
shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print
of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.
26 And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them:
then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you.

5 One man esteemeth one day above another:
another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be
fully persuaded in his own mind.
6 He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth
not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth,
eateth to the Lord, for he giveth
God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God
thanks.
KJV
( whether we worship on
one day or the other by assembling ourselves together, let it not be by law but
by love of heart toward Christ, for all things are to be done in worship and
honor to Him. )
