    Does the day of Christ resurrections tell us to change the worship of Sabbath?

    Actually, as has been touched on, as far as scripture is concerned, there are only two times mentioned with regard to anybody getting together on the first (day) of the week - John 20:19 and Acts 20:7. There is never any mention of them ever again being together on the first. The John reference...

    Perhaps not hell, but Revelation 20:15 does say that He will be casting people into the lake of fire.

    Was the first day of the week also called the Lord's day?

    Was the first day of the week also called the Lord's day?

    I wrote that the scriptures are silent with regard to anyone practicing a keeping of the first day of the week in honor of the resurrection. You responded that the early Church is not silent. Since the writers of the NT were silent about it in their NT writings, I was wondering if they were...

    3 days/3 nights and the Pharisees

    So the sign could have been any number of days and nights, e.g. 1 day and 1 night, or 1 day and no night, etc.? It was just the first number that popped into the Messiah's head.

    Was the first day of the week also called the Lord's day?

    Just seems curious that a new practice that is so important - even a mortal sin to not practice it - was not mentioned.

    Was the first day of the week also called the Lord's day?

    If by "Lord's Day" you're referring to the first day of the week, any thoughts on why scripture says nothing with regard to anyone doing that?

    Was the first day of the week also called the Lord's day?

    So you're saying that the writers of the NT were not a part of the early church?
