Thanks for the responses. My main question, I suppose, revolves around Christ being "Lord of the Sabbath." I am under the belief that the resurrection is the chief reason the "Christian Sabbath" was changed to Sunday away from the "Jewish Sabbath". Is this a true statement?
If this is a true statement, I can not support this idea. I do not see a Friday execution and Sunday morning resurrection. This is not how Christ was killed and resurrected in accordance with the scripture. If He did not die according to the scripture, then He is not God (and we have a much bigger problem than trying to figure out the right day).
Well written article Daniel. I can see clearly in the scriptures where the priesthood and animal sacrifices have changed. I can not find where God's prescribed Holy Days nor Sabbaths have been thrown out. I can neither find where the moral law or judgments have been abrogated.
New Earth now or later, it does not seem to matter. God's Sabbaths will always be the same, precisely the same and forever unchanging. The death and resurrection of Jesus Christ occurred precisely as God intended in fulfillment of the law. It occurred exactly as the gospel proclaims it did (according to the scriptures).
Still not sure when, where and why our "Lord of the Sabbath" changed His Holy Day from the 7th Day to the 1st Day. Please show me.
