Last week's "Target Practice" results!

Question: Which day is the Sabbath Day?

Targets and results:

A. first day of the week, Sunday.
B. Any day you choose, just pick a day.
C. There is no Sabbath day, I esteem everyday alike.
D. The seventh day of the biblical month. - 3 hits
E. The seventh day, Saturday. - 44 hits

Bull's-eye: E. The seventh day Saturday.

Exodus 20:8 Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: 10 But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: 11 For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it.

It is also important to note that days begin and end in the evening. This can be confirmed in Genesis 1:5, 8, 13, 19, 23, 31.

Some problems with the other targets:

The scriptures clearly tell us not to add to nor take away from the scriptures. That said, we cannot arbitrarily change what day the Sabbath is.

Regarding the lunar Sabbath, since the moon was clearly created on the fourth day and the scriptures clearly tell us Elohim rested on the seventh day, if the moon determines when the sabbath is then Elohim rested on the third day (after the new moon) not the seventh.
