GODS ten commandments

All I was trying to say is that The Bible says keep the Sabbath holy, and it is the 7th day. It does not actually say Saturday in The Bible. I am not even sure that they had named the days of the week Sunday through Saturday at the time the Commandments were written. It says "The Seventh Day". How do we actually know what that seventh day is? Since now, Sunday is considered the first day, then Saturday is the seventh. But in some countries, Monday is considered the first day, so that Sunday would be the seventh day. Are they wrong? Do you understand now what I am trying to say? It depends on what you label as the first day as to what the seventh day is.
I am not saying that I am right about this, but I am offering an explanation to what it could mean.
 
Why not go ahead and undertake a bit of Biblical research and then tell us what you have discovered is the truth of the matter?

Then we can all benefit.

Correct. They didn't have names then, or now. Their calendar consists of names for months and the days were/are numbered. Also, their days begin and end at sundown. Sabbath is our Friday, sunset until sunset the following day (our Saturday). Their calendar remains basically unchanged for all this time. I believe there was one adjustment made in the early second century. I think it had to do with accumulated changes in the Lunar cycle. Their calendar is Lunar-based. Their original calendar was based on a 360 day year. That could be good reason for the adjustment.

The Gregorian calendar is based on our revolutions around the sun and has been tampered with many times throughout history.

Bottom line is their calendar still reflects the same seventh day.
 
Yeah
Its really not that hard to figure. Jesus got it right. Dont ya think! He kept the sabbath. Paul kept the sabbath. And since that time the jews and a FEW believers in Jesus have kept Gods sabbath. Gods sabbath is still Gods sabbath.
