The sabbath day and death

What have do you believe is the sabbath day and what happens when you die based on both what you've been taught and read in the Bible?

Sabbath day, uh, sunday, go to church, chill & marvel at the world & the complexities of it all.

Death, uhm, if you think you're going to hell you do...and hell is whatever the worst place is that you can imagine.  If you REALLY hate Disney World then that might be your hell.
Same sorta thing for heaven

I'm pretty sure that Wires is asking about things in reference to Christianity.  What you've said isn't implied anywhere in the Bible, I don't think.

@WiReS: Umm, I'm assuming you asked what day is the Sabbath day for Christians (your wording was kinda mumbo jumbo), but Christians believe it's Sunday. This is because God created the universe in six days and rested on the seventh.

But, I believe once you die, you go immediately up to Heaven or Hell. When Judgement Day comes, that is for people are still residing on Earth. I believe... maybe someone would like to clarify?

The seventh day is Saturday.  You're all resting on the first day.

Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday
1,2,3,4,5,6,7

Do you really think the Sabbath is Sunday now?

But, I believe once you die, you go immediately up to Heaven or Hell. When Judgement Day comes, that is for people are still residing on Earth. I believe... maybe someone would like to clarify?
The Bible says that when you die you go into a sleep until God comes back.  It doesn't say anything about going to either Heaven or Hell.  Hell doesn't even exist until God comes, Earth will the become Hell.

Any other reasoning behind this?  I already know why, just curious if you believe/know why this is. :P

Yeah, I wasn't sure if it was what I said or what you said.

If what I understand is correct, the original calender stated the Sabbath was Saturday. Some Jews still practice it on this day. (At least, the ones I knew while I still lived in St. Louis.) But, since Christianity eventually grew, I think earlier on in its history, something happened to make Sunday a more conveniant day to have a Sabbath (which is a day to rest, glorify God, and meditate on his works.) All in all, though, what day of the week your Sabbath is really doesn't matter. According to Christianity, at least from what my dad has said,  it's whether you practice having a Sabbath or not that matters, not which day you have it on. For instance, his Sabbath is Monday, because it is literally impossible for him to have a Sabbath on Sunday. (He is a pastor, pastors work on Sunday, obviously.)

Constantine changed it from Saturday to Sunday.

Look at a real calendar.

It wasn't changed to Sunday for just Christians.  It was changed for the whole Roman Empire.  Christians just accepted it because, as Kaleeko said, it's that you observe it, not when.
