Irony of irony is the Seventh Day Adventists who so shout Law Law, cannot, or will not, and therefore shall not ever, see this is what the Law proclaimed and confirmed through the Man from Nazareth - "Secluded Acre".

re: "Have you ever asked yourself why God did not tell Adam to honor the Sabbath?
How about Noah, Abraham, Isaac or Jacob?"
Have you ever asked yourself why God has never asked anyone to honor the first day of the week?
rstrats said:Palalka51 asks,
re: "Isn't it curious that they waited until the first day of the week to break bread?"
Actually they didn’t. Acts 2:46 says that they broke bread every day: "And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they partook of food with glad and generous hearts"
""Why the Sunday-keeping Church thinks of Sunday as the Sabbath?"
"not forsake the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some"
"One person esteems one day above another, another esteems every day alike. Let each be fully convinced in his own mind. He who observes the day, observes it to the Lord. He who does not observe the day, to the Lord he does not observe it"
D28guy said:Most christian fellowships who gather regularly on Sunday do not think of it as the Sabbath.
We are christians, not Jews. The "Sabbath" has no relavence to christians at all.
we have no obligation to gather on Sunday.
To answer the question, the reason that Sunday is the day the majority of christians gather is because it is widely held that Christ was resurrected on that day.
Just GATHER REGULARY! That is the important thing.

"Several very early Christian writers and historians attest to the fact that Christians regularly assembled on the first day of the week, citing the resurrection of Jesus as the reason for observing the Lord's Day. These writers include Barnabas (AD 100), Ignatius of Antioch (107), Justin Martyr (145), Bardaisan (154), Irenaeus (178), Tertullian (180), Cyprian (200), Saint Victorinus (280), and Eusebius of Caesarea (324)"

Barnabas (AD 100), NEVER 'attested' to the fallacy that Christians regularly assembled on the first day of the week; he NEVER cited the resurrection of Jesus as the reason for observing the Lord's Day. He NEVER mentions 'the Lord's Day'. Get your 'facts' right, first. If you can show me where Barnabas 'cites' 'the Lord's Day', I here in this post undertake to reward you one thousand Dollars - American Dollars. The money lies ready to be sent; just show me.
Ignatius of Antioch (107), NEVER 'attested' to the fallacy that Christians regularly assembled on the first day of the week; he NEVER cited the resurrection of Jesus as the reason for observing the First Day of the week. Get your 'facts' right, first!
GE
Justin Martyr (145), 'attested' to the fact that some Christians assembled on the first day of the week; and he cites the resurrection of Jesus as the reason for observing the First Day of the week - NOT, the 'Lord's Day'. He NEVER mentions 'the Lord's Day'. Get your 'facts' right, first! Justin corrupted the Word of God - Mt28:1 - in support his LIES. Once again, that $1000 are lying ready to be sent to you if you can quote Justin martyr where he claims that Jesus rose from the dead on 'The Lord's Day'!
Bardaisan (154), First time I hear of him! I very much doubt your claims!
Irenaeus (178), NEVER 'attested' to the fallacy that Christians regularly assembled on the first day of the week; he NEVER cited the resurrection of Jesus as the reason for observing the Lord's Day. He NEVER mentions 'the Lord's Day'. [Come to think of it, may be he does - too long ago I read him.] Get your 'facts' right, first

Tertullian (180), Cyprian (200), Saint Victorinus (280), and Eusebius of Caesarea (324) -- I don't care what they said. Useless information!
"Just GATHER REGULARY! That is the important thing."
"Once a year? Once a month? Once every ten days??"
Why weekly??
"What is the weekly cycle based on ?"
"To answer the question, the reason that Sunday is the day the majority of christians gather is because it is widely held that Christ was resurrected on that day."
But we are under no obligation whatsoever to meet on Sunday or any other day."
"If the fact Christ was raised on the day does not bring you as follower of Christ under obligation to meet on that day, you would not have Christians meeting together -
"...and you by every chance would not have been a Christian either."
"From the practice of the New Testament Church no doubt whatsoever is left the Church for being the Church of Christ, met together for to worship Him and to celebrate His Salvation wrought, on the very day Christ availed and perfected salvation once for all!
"Isaiah 66 "From Sabbath to Sabbath shall ALL MANKIND come before Me to Worship".
Is it your position that "all mankind" will become Jews instead of Christians at the 2nd coming? In the New Earth?"
"Mark 2:27 "The Sabbath was MADE for MANKIND" -
Is it your position that prior to the cross - -ALL mankind were Jews?"
"The Promise of Rest
1 Therefore, since a promise remains of entering His rest, let us fear lest any of you seem to have come short of it.
2 For indeed the gospel was preached to us as well as to them; but the word which they heard did not profit them,[a] not being mixed with faith in those who heard it.
3 For we who have believed do enter that rest, as He has said:
“ So I swore in My wrath,
‘ They shall not enter My rest,’”
although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
4 For He has spoken in a certain place of the seventh day in this way: “And God rested on the seventh day from all His works”;[c]
5 and again in this place: “They shall not enter My rest.”[d]
6 Since therefore it remains that some must enter it, and those to whom it was first preached did not enter because of disobedience,
7 again He designates a certain day, saying in David, “Today,” after such a long time, as it has been said:
“ Today, if you will hear His voice,
Do not harden your hearts.”[e]
8 For if Joshua had given them rest, then He would not afterward have spoken of another day.
9 There remains therefore a rest for the people of God. 10 For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His.

No.
The Sabbath rest for the Jews was the Saturday rest. But it was symbolic, and continues today only in a different form.
