Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: 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: 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.''

Christians in the second century stopped using the seventh day ("[[Saturday]]") and switched their services to the first day of the week, Sunday, in honor of the Resurrection, in accord with the then-common interpretation of various New Testament passages regarding on what day of the week Christ died and on what day of the week he rose from the dead. The Seventh-Day Adventist Church is a Protestant denomination, founded in America in the 1860s during the [[Second Great Awakening]], which interprets those passages differently, and which believes that God always intended for the day of the week on which rest and celebration was taken to be the seventh, or final, day of the week ("[[Saturday]]"). So, the Seventh Day Adventist Church opposes laws that make Sunday the Sabbath.
