A quick search using Accordance Bible software shows that in the original Hebrew, the words “Sabbath” ( shabbat ) and “day” ( yom ) occur within 10 words of each other well over 100 times in the Tanakh. The same search, replacing “day” with “moon” ( yareach ), yields a big fat goose-egg (for the uninitiated that means zero). Yet there are those out there trying to defend something called

DISCLAIMER: The Reverend Twistruth comic series is not intended to be offensive or mocking. This is not a comic series about all Christian pastors either. Rev.

“I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day” - Rev. 1:10 John’s mention of “the Lord’s day” is often quoted by Christians who worship on the first day of the week, Sunday, instead of on Saturday, the Sabbath.

Keeping the Sabbath & Keeping Your Job By Dr. Daniel Botkin “I’d like to keep the Sabbath, but I can’t - I have to work on Saturdays.” Wrong. You may think so, but you are mistaken. No one who believes in keeping the Sabbath has to work on Saturdays, at least not in America. No one is pointing a gun at the heads of American Christians and Jews and forcing
