Why did God rest on the 7th day?

I'm just curious... what is it that convinces people that the Bible is holy? Is it because it's called a "Holy Bible"? Is it because some guy in a fancy robe said so? What is the deciding reason to accept that book as gospel, as opposed to say... the Qu'ran, or the Torah or something else?

Granted, the Qu'ran and Torah, are both considered sacred, and true events that was divinly present.

However the bible (like all things in life) is relative. It's simple in the opinion of the person. Like me for example, I believe that the bible should be repected (like all books). It shouldn't be dirtied or torn (on purpose of course; accidents happen). However some people decide to take a book with pages in it, a little too seriously...

god rested as in he stopped creating anymore species/things.

not rested as in oh im tired i need a rest.

laziness...but at least he wasn't a procrastinator!

Why did he rest???........Well you would too, if you spent that last night with me like he did.... 😱

As to this remark (Why did he rest???........Well you would too, if you spent that last night with me like he did....

I'm pretty sure God doesn't feel that way. 😱

Why would you think god would be offended and repulsed?.......He seemed alright with it at the time.......

I am sorry i took it the wrong way.now i see.

"But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work ."
John 5:17

* all things and creatures will die and perish if God stops working... God and Christ is still working until now... 😉

Things were working before we had a bible. Things work in people lives who don't believe in god or Christ.....It doesn't matter what a persons belief are, things are what they are since they were set in motion.

* God exists before the Bible...

"That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust ."
Matthew 5:45

* God is just and unbiased...

* ... and who had set the things in motion? 😕

Trying to question the existence of God is in of itself theoretically impossible...especially when "GOD" encompasses the very fabric of energy/time/space/thought/knowledge and not some old guy in a chair..... God or any other version, i.e. buddha and allah, are variations of human cultures trying to pinpoint reason for existence on earth...when in fact every belief system can be linked to one universal theme...the belief in something beyond human understanding...

Food for thought....comments more than welcome!

God rested on the 7th day to incorporate a Sabbath Day. Throughout the Bible, God urges man to keep the Sabbath, and to keep it Holy. Even though man should worship and praise God everyday, God specifically set aside one day a week for man to rest and to worship God.

The common worker was tired of working 7 days a week. So, they all got together and told the law makers, that if they didn't get a day off once a week, they would kill all of them.
