Seventh-day Adventism

A Catholic + biblical perspective

Seventh-day Adventists, as their name implies, worship on the 7th day of the week, Saturday, unlike most other Christians, who, since biblical times, have kept Sunday as a memorial of a better creation, raised to life by the Resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Christ, who rose from the dead on the first day of the week.

What does the Bible say?
This is a list of essays dealing with each verse in the New Testament, and several important ones in the Old Testament, that mentions the Sabbath or the first day of the week. We'll see that there is no evidence for compulsory Christian Sabbath observance on the 7th day of the week - today, or in New Testament times.
