Please tell me where it says that the Lord's day is the 1st day of the week?

Question

I seem to have missed it I did however find these:

Mat 12:8 For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.

Mar 2:28 Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.

Luk 6:5 And he said unto them, That the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.

Answer 1

I believe that is in Catholic Catechism

Answer 2

Good luck finding which day is the first one! It's almost like a chicken vs egg thing (what came first, Thursday or Tuesday?).

Depending where you live (and during what time), your week could begin on Saturday, Sunday or Monday.

Answer 3

There is no scripture to back up the 1st day of the week & the

fallacy that Yahshua rose on sunday is also not backed up by

scripture, but as Peter said of Paul's letters, unlearned &

ignorant people twist the word to their own detriment. And so

this is the case with the 1st day being made the sabbath, by the so called church.

The Sabbath is the 7th Day, always has been & always will be

& it is not just for Jews.

Answer 4

It  doesn't explicitly.  In fact, Genesis makes it clear that the Sabbath is the SEVENTH day of the week.  It was that day that Jesus was referring to and that he took some flak for healing and breaking off wheat heads on.  That was also the day that was approaching when he was crucified, the reason the Romans broke their victims' legs so that they would die more quickly and could be buried before the beginning of the Sabbath.

However, it was just as clearly the FIRST day of the week when Mary Magdalen and whoever was with her (different in each account) went to the tomb to find it empty and then had that marvelous encounter with the "gardener."  When the early Church began to feel a need to distance itself from Judaism in order not to be labeled as just a Jewish sect, the fact that the Resurrection had happened on the first day of the week was a good reason to observe the Sabbath on that day instead.

Incidentally, Paul does  make some comments about the unimportance of considering one day of the week better than another..

Answer 5

Jesus came back from the dead on the first day of the week, therefore it's the Lord's day. The timing has to do with the last supper and passover and stuff.. The Sabbath is still Saturday for those old testament loving Jews.

Answer 6

the Lords day is sabbath day. there were times that the people got together on the first day of the week to teach and to be in fellowship but the sabbath day we are still to keep as it was custom even to Jesus and we must follow His steps. And for those who think the sabbath is for Jews only think again....read exodus and tell me who is a Jew from that book.

Answer 7

>> Please tell me where it says that the Lord's day is the 1st day of the week?

        The Bible never says that.  That is merely a tradition of man.  It wasn't the Apostles whom decided to start having worship services on the first day of the week -- that was the Catholics.  The Apostles always went to worship services on the Sabbath -- what we call Saturday.  For three thousand years the Jews have kept very accurate record of the progression of the days of the week -- as taught by God even before the giving of the Law and for 40 years during the Wilderness Wandering by the Miracle of the Manna.  Plus, the United States National Observatory agrees with the Jews on this subject.

        The get-togethers the Apostles had on the first day of the week wasn't worship services either.  They were just planning meetings for what to accomplish, in terms of ministry, for that week.  They also didn't collect an offering as we do in our church services, today.  They just gathered together whatever money was available in order to fund the ministry outreaches for that week.

        Just because the Catholics decided to start having worship services on Sunday doesn't mean that God's (Saturday) Sabbath no longer applies to the Christian.  Man cannot make a day holy.  God made the (Saturday) Sabbath holy and told mankind (not just the Jews) to keep that day holy.  God will hold you responsible for breaking God's Ten Commandments by denigrating and desecrating God's (Saturday) Sabbath.

God bless.
