the schizophrenia of people always boggles my mind

i have learned the days of the week in several languages, and in almost every one of them, saturday is sabbath and sunday is the first day of the week, or at best, a time of doing no work

bulgarian and serbian: subota, nedelya

portuguese: sabado, domingo

Saturday is Samstag in German (or Sonnabend “sun-evening” in some parts of northern and western Germany). Samstag originates from the Greek sambaton or older sabbaton which is related to “Sabbath”.

why do people still believe that sunday is the biblical sabbath when clearly the words for the names of the week say otherwise?

not only that, the jews say it's saturday, and INRI right?

the sunday doctrine is completely based on a very obvious misinterpretation, there is no explicit statement in any of the new testament where jesus says "now you have the rest day on sunday"

for what reason would this even be changed at all? we have 7 days of the week because this is the number of days that fits best into the calendar and is roughly 1/4 of a lunar cycle

the reason why the slavs call it "nedelya" - and this word is also a word for "holiday" - is because you have to prepare for the next week, it's supposed to be the day you are cleaning the house, preparing the week's necessaries, etc

also, "days" in the ancient hebrew are marked by sunset to sunset, so in fact saturday starts on friday sunset and ends on saturday sunset, evening and morning, as it says repeatedly in the bible

but no, it's sunday morning when you are to go to church, right, got it.
