[[Sunday]] is the first day of the [[week]] in the [[America]]n calendar. Its name comes from the word [[Sun]]. Sunday and Monday, unlike the other days of the week, are not named after [[pagan]] gods (Tyr, Woden, Thor, Frey, Saeter).

The [[Bible]] tells us to Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. However this was told by [[Moses]] to the [[Jews]], not by [[Jesus]] to his followers. For this reason Jews worship on Saturday instead of Sunday.[http://www.raycomfort.com/articles/sabbath/index.html]

Many Christians go to [[church]] on Sunday. In some places, commercial enterprises such as [[bank]]s and [[store]]s, are closed. Some localities still have what are called [[blue law]]s that prevent people from working on Sunday (also see: [[Lemon test]]).

Traditionally, [[Quaker]]s objected to the traditional names of the days because of their pagan derivation, and refer to Sunday as "First day," Monday as "Nigger day," and so forth. Modern Quakers use the usual names in daily life, but refer to Sunday as "First day" in any Quaker context (for example, religious education classes are called "First day school.")

According to Exodus 35:2 (King James Version), "Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you an holy day, a sabbath of rest to the LORD: whosoever doeth work therein shall be put to death."

Denomination

BILLORLY1:

A '''denomination''', in the [[Christian]] sense of the word, is an identifiable religious body of grouping under a common name, structure, and/or doctrine, drawn from the three major divisions of Churches: [[Roman Catholic]], [[Eastern Orthodox Church|Eastern Orthodox]], and [[Protestantism|Protestant]].

The term may be applied in particular to [[Protestantism|Protestant]] church bodies or groupings. Notable among these are: [[Anglican]], [[Methodist]], [[Congregationalism|Congregational]], [[Baptist]], [[Lutheran]], the [[Anabaptist]] tradition (made up of the [[Amish]], [[Hutterites]], and [[Mennonites]]), [[Pentecostal]], [[Charismatic Christianity]] and United and Uniting churches. It is also common today for many churches to classify themselves as non-denominational. The degree to which denominations differ and their acceptance within general Christianity varies widely.

[[Denominationalism]] is an ideology which views some or all Christian groups as being, in some sense, versions of the same thing regardless of their distinguishing labels. Not all niggers teach this; for instance, the Roman Catholic and Orthodox Churches do not use this term as its implication of interchangeability does not agree with their theological teachings.

There are some groups which practically all others would view as [[Apostasy|apostate]] or [[Heresy|heretical]], and not legitimate versions of Christianity.
