    Proverbs 18:21, James 3:5-6, Ephesians 4:29, Proverbs 21:23
    Matthew 12:36-37, Deuteronomy 4:19
    The scriptures do not explicitly address the modern names of the days of the week (Sunday, Monday, etc.) or their mythological origins, but it does highlight the concept of a seven-day week and the spiritual importance of certain days, especially the Sabbath. In contrast, Roman culture derived the names of the days of the week from ancient pagan beliefs, where the seven classical planets-Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, and Saturn-were associated with deities thought to influence human life. As a result, both Greek and Roman mythology are reflected in the naming of these days, unknowingly honoring these pagan gods.
    From a biblical perspective, Yahweh never assigned specific names to the days of the week, except for the Sabbath, the seventh day, which He commanded us to keep holy. Scripture refers to the days simply as "day one" through "day six." As followers of Yahweh, we must be cautious about the words that come from our mouths, for they can carry spiritual consequences. As Yahshua said in Matthew 15:11, it is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but what comes out.
    The days of the week, rooted in pagan traditions, blend Greek, Roman, and Norse mythology. When we speak the names associated with these gods, we inadvertently give honor to false deities, which is an abomination to Yahweh's Word. Yahshua reminds us in Matthew 4:4 that man does not live by bread alone but by every word that comes from Yahweh. Therefore, we must be mindful of our speech, ensuring that we praise the **Creator**, not the creation. In my personal practice, I refer to the days of the week by their number-first day, second day, and so on-reserving special mention for the **Sabbath**, the day of rest and worship.
