THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE
Many Christians believe the Sabbath was changed to Sunday because Jesus rose on Sunday. He did not!! Yeshua the Lord of the Sabbath rose on Saturday the Sabbath! The truth is, most people were never taught what really happened in history.
In 321 CE, Roman Emperor Constantine made a move that changed everything.
He issued a decree that had nothing to do with God’s will—and everything to do with politics and man-made tradition.
It wasn’t about honoring the God of Israel. It was about uniting his empire under a common day of rest connected to sun worship.
“On the venerable day of the Sun, let the magistrates and people residing in cities rest, and let all workshops be closed…”
— Codex Justinianus 3.12.2
This wasn’t about honoring the biblical Sabbath. It was about uniting the empire under one day of rest tied to sun worship. Constantine still honored Sol Invictus, the sun god.
Then in 364 CE, the Council of Laodicea took
things even further. The following is an excerpt from Canon 29:
“Christians must not Judaize by resting on the Sabbath, but must work on that day, rather honoring the Lord's Day [Sunday]... But if any shall be found to be Judaizers, let them be anathema from Christ.”
“Anathema” means cursed, cut off, or banned. In plain terms: if you kept the Sabbath, you were excommunicated.
They didn’t just promote Sunday, they outlawed the Sabbath. They punished anyone who kept the fourth commandment.
But before these man-made rulings, Yeshua and His followers (both Jew and Gentile) kept the 7th-day Sabbath, just as Scripture commands (Exodus 20:8–11, Luke 4:16, Acts 17:2).
Remember: God blessed only the seventh day (Genesis 2:3) and called it a sign forever (Exodus 31:16–17). Yeshua called Himself Master of the Sabbath (Mark 2:28), not Sunday.
So here’s the real question:
Why do most Christians follow a change made by emperors and councils, not by Yehovah?
Scripture never gave permission to switch the Sabbath. Man did.
The seventh day was never un-blessed.
Shabbat was never replaced.
Truth matters. History matters. Scripture stands.
Come out of tradition. Return to the Word.
PS: before you accuse me of being one... no, I’m not a 7th-day Adventist.
