THE APOSTLES DID NOT CHANGE THE SABBATH TO SUNDAY.
Remember, the books of the New Testament were written decades after the resurrection and ascension of Christ and yet the first day is given no special name or significance by the disciples, but the 7th day is STILL called the Sabbath day - decades after Christ!
Jesus Himself even warned CHRISTIANS, yes Christians, to pray that their 'escape' from Jerusalem around AD70 would not be on the Sabbath day (Matthew 24:15-20). Jesus was NOT speaking to Jews here, He was speaking to the disciples. The Jews did not heed Christ's warning, as they were killed in the destruction of Jerusalem by the Roman army. It was the Christians who heeded Jesus' warning and fled Jerusalem, and it was to them who Christ was speaking!
The disciples never changed the Sabbath to Sunday and neither did God place any special significance upon the first day of the week( Sunday). The 7th day Sabbath is STILL the Sabbath of the Lord our God and the first day of the week is STILL the first day of the week.
Pope John Paul II got it right when he said ... "This is why Christians, called as they are to proclaim the liberation won by the blood of Christ, FELT that they had the authority to transfer the meaning of the Sabbath to the day of the Resurrection." (John Paul II, DIES DOMINI, 1998, pgr.63 ) That's about the sum of it! Pure assumption on the part of Sunday keepers, nothing more!
Jesus never said He is Lord of the first day of the week. He said He is Lord of the Sabbath day (Mark 2:28; Matt.12:8). The Lord's day therefore is NOT Sunday, it is the 7th day Sabbath - our Saturday, just as God confirmed - "My holy day" (Isaiah 58:13).
Why is this issue important? Because by being obedient to God's Word and keeping His true Sabbath rest, we are showing that we are depending upon God for salvation and have entered into His eternal rest through Christ. But by disobeying and keeping another day, we are seeking to be saved our OWN way and by our OWN works, and as you know, this will save no one!
