Why is the Torah important in sabbath day?
The Torah establishes the Sabbath with commandments to keep the Sabbath day, to remember the Sabbath day, and constraining what may be done on the Sabbath. And, in the Jewish liturgy that emerged from this framework, the Sabbath morning service includes a Torah reading where, traditionally, about 1/52 of the Torah is read, so that over the course of the year, every Jew who attends Sabbath services on a regular basis will hear (and, we hope, learn from) the entire Torah.
How long does it take Jewish people to read their whole bible at their sabbath service?
The whole Bible is not read at the Sabbath service. The prayers include many selections from the Psalms, and those don't change. The public reading of the Torah ... the first five books ... is the centerpiece of the Sabbath morning service. There is a standard format of divisions according to which the entire Torah is read in the course of one year. The conclusion and the beginning are both read during the joyous service on the last day of the Fall holiday of Sukkot. There is also a 3-year cycle of Torah reading practiced by some congregations.
Why is the Christian Sabbath different from the Jewish Sabbath?
Christians originally observed the Jewish Sabbath of Saturday. When the Roman emperor Constantine reversed the previous Roman policy of persecuting Christianity, and instead offered to sponsor the church (he saw it as a potential unifying and rallying force for the weakening Roman Empire), it was with the provision that they would change their worship day from Saturday to Sunday, which was the Romans' traditional day of worship. The Roman Christians considered traditional Jewish law to have been set aside, could not see any special or compelling reason to keep the traditional Sabbath, believed Jesus had risen from the tomb on a Sunday, and wanted to see their religion finally legitimized in the Empire, so they agreed to the change. Christians have largely observed the Sunday Sabbath ever since. Furthermore, the Catholic church claims, that she has by her "Divine Authority" changed the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday. Read the Convert's Catechism. They cahnged the Sabbath to allow the pagans who were comin ginto the church to feel comfortable and continue worshipping on the day of the Sun. The Catholic church also admits that there is NO biblical basis whatsoever for this change. If you are a Christian, and you are following the bible and the Bible alone, then you should be keeping the "Jewish" Sabbath, which is the Sabbath of all mankind.
