Lori, The Bible and the Early Church Fathers clearly show that the day of worship was moved to the first day or Sunday to commerate the resurrection of Jesus. We clearly get the idea that the sabbath was made for man not man for the sabbath in the New Testament. It is very striking that Paul indicates that the sabbath was a foreshadowing of things to come. That foreshadowing was Jesus's fullfillment of the old testament in his resurrection. This all makes perfect sense when you take into account the worship now occuring on the Lord's day or the first day which is Sunday. We clearly have first and early second century eyewitnesses of the Apostles that give witness to the change in Ignatius and the Didache. The evidence clearly shows a change was made by the early Christians with the authority that they were given by Jesus Christ. This evidence shows what the Lord's Day referred to. The Bible speaks of these practices occuring on the first day. Paul clearly says that they gather to break bread on the first day of the week. The Didache says that they break bread on the Lord's day. You can put two and two together that this refers to the First day which is the Lord's day. Ignatius clearly indicates that they do not sabbath but rather celebrate on the Lords day. I take these eyewitness accounts and the Tradition of the Church over modern revisionist's versions as proof of what the Lord's day referred to. God Bless, Chris Lori and Mark,

Thanks for the comments.

Lori,

It is very striking that Paul indicates that the sabbath was a foreshadowing of things to come. That foreshadowing was Jesus’s fullfillment of the old testament in his resurrection. This all makes perfect sense when you take into account the worship now occuring on the Lord’s day or the first day which is Sunday.

That does not mean we don't hold to traditions of the church in which the apostle Paul speaKs of. What do you think?

I did a study regarding the Sabbath day. When you state that they worshipped on the "Lord's Day" suggesting it is Sunday, you have to know that Jesus said he was" Lord of the Sabbath. Also, the women who came to annoint Jesus at his tomb waited until the Sabbath was over before they came to their Lord&Savior. Genesis tells us (long before the 10 commandment's were given) that God sanctified the 7th day and hallowed it...meaning God made it Holy. Then God wrote it with His finger onto stone tablet's again (the 4th commandment...Remember the Sabbath Day to keep it Holy. Then we see that many times in the New Testament it states that "as it was their custom....they reasoned with the people every sabbath. Jesus said pray that your flight may not be on the Sabbath or in the winter. Isaiah states that we will come to worship God from Sabbath to Sabbath in the new Jerusalem. Also, in Revelation it say's that the preservation of the saint's will be that they keep the commandment's and their testimony of Jesus. So what do you think about this? I would like a reply if you can. Thanks. Sincerely, Lori Greetings,
