    • 10. Is Christendom’s weekly “sabbath” Biblical, and for what purpose is it mainly used today?

      10 For more than 1,500 years Christendom has been formally keeping Sunday as a sort of Christian sabbath. But Sunday is neither Christian nor Jewish. As its name shows, it is actually a pagan holiday in celebration of the sun god. Today Christendom is certainly not observing its own Sunday as a rest day in Jehovah’s honor and for the good of the human body. For the most part, she is taking advantage of it as a day for sports, picnics, going to theaters, and other nonreligious activities and selfish delights, not to speak of gambling and a variety of immoral activities.
