Jimmy Wales' Wikipedia squares off against Elon Musks Grokipedia over the SABBATH
Opening of article --
"In Abrahamic religions, the Sabbath (/ˈsæbəθ/) or Shabbat (Biblical Hebrew: שַׁבָּת [ʃa'bat]) is a day set aside for rest and worship.
--According to the Book of Exodus, the Sabbath is a day of rest on the seventh day commanded by God to be kept as a holy day of rest as God rested in the Genesis creation narrative. Sabbath observance is commanded in the Ten Commandments: "Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy" in the Masoretic text contrasting with the Samaritan Pentateuch which says "Keep the Sabbath day to keep it holy."
--A day of rest is observed in Islam (Friday), Judaism (Saturday), and Christianity (Sunday). Observances similar to or descended from the Sabbath also exist in other religions. The term may be used more generally to describe similar weekly observances in other religions.
--The Sabbath might have been influenced by Babylonian mid-month rest days and lunar cycles, though its origins remain debated."
OBSERVATION:
It claims that Christianity observes Sunday without explaining that not all Christians do and why. So it leaves the impression that Sunday is the holy day naturally for Christendom.
It mentions of other religions here which is irrelevant to this article
(there would naturally be an article about "holy days" that would be separate as this one is supposed to be specific about the "SABBATH").
So it leaves the impression in it's opening that holy days are just something all religions do meaning it's ALL made up which would include Christianity. To make my point that that is their view they are implying notice the following paragraph to it makes the claim that Sabbath emerged from Babylon. This smacks of the WOKE TONE.
BOTTOM LINE: Wikipedia leaves the impression that the SABBATH emerged from ancient Babylonian (paganism) but that Sunday is the obvious, natural day for observing it for Christendom.
Grokipedia:
Opening of article --
"The Sabbath, from the Hebrew shabbat meaning "to cease" or "rest," designates the seventh day of the week—Saturday in the Gregorian calendar—as a mandated day of cessation from labor, rooted in the Biblical account of God's rest following six days of creation.
--In the Hebrew Bible, this observance is enshrined in the Fourth Commandment, requiring the Israelites to "remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy" by refraining from work, with rationale tied both to creation and the Exodus deliverance.
--In Judaism, Shabbat commences at sunset Friday and concludes at nightfall Saturday, encompassing a 25-hour period marked by ritual preparations, candle lighting, festive meals, synagogue services, and Torah study, while prohibiting 39 categories of creative work (melachot) derived from tabernacle construction activities to preserve the day's sanctity.
This practice, central to Jewish identity, emphasizes spiritual renewal over mundane labor, with historical enforcement varying from strict halakhic adherence to more flexible interpretations in modern denominations.
--Among Christians, Sabbath observance diverged early: while Jesus upheld its intent without abrogating it, post-resurrection emphasis on Sunday worship as the Lord's Day emerged, commemorating the resurrection rather than enforcing seventh-day rest for most traditions, though groups like Seventh-day Adventists retain Saturday observance based on unchanged Biblical perpetuity.
--Debates persist over its ongoing obligation under the new covenant, with some viewing it as fulfilled in Christ rather than a perpetual ritual."
OBSERVATION:
It also rightly claims that "some" (meaning not all) Christians claims it was "fulfilled" in Christ.
It also is written in a tone that is NOT that stuffy woke/academic elitist approach.
BOTTOM LINE: Grokipedia leaves the impression that the SABBATH was ordained by God (the God of Creation at Creation) but that Sunday emerged over time for many in, but not all of Christendom.
