Most believers worship on “The Lord’s Day” or “Resurrection Day,” not the Seventh Day of the week as was in the beginning, which is the day non-completed Jews still worship.

What difference does it make how many people worship incorrectly? One plus God is always a majority.

Well.......this is interesting. What day was the Lord's Day? Did He ever say...........?

[Matthew 12:8]For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.

He sure wasn't talking about Sunday here....was He?

Now.....what day was the resurrection? Let's look at the Greek:

[Luke 24:1] Τῇ the (dat) δὲ But also μιᾷ one (dat) τῶν the (gen) σαββάτων sabbaths (gen) , ὄρθρου dawn (gen) { βαθέος deep ([Adj] gen) , ἦλθον I-COME-ed, they-COME-ed ἐπὶ upon/over (+acc,+gen,+dat) τὸ the (nom|acc) μνῆμα tomb (nom|acc|voc) ♦ βαθέως ???; deep ([Adj] gen) ἐπὶ upon/over (+acc,+gen,+dat) τὸ the (nom|acc) μνῆμα tomb (nom|acc|voc) ἦλθον I-COME-ed, they-COME-ed } , φέρουσαι while BRING-ing (nom|voc) ἃ who/whom/which (nom|acc) ἡτοίμασαν they-READY-ed ἀρώματα aromatics (nom|acc|voc) , { καί and/also τινες some/any (nom) σὺν together with/including (+dat) αὐταῖς them/same (dat)

Here is the literal translation from Young's:

[Luke 24:1]And on the first of the sabbaths, at early dawn, they came to the tomb, bearing the spices they made ready, and certain [others] with them,

When did they arrive at an empty tomb? On the First of the Sabbaths (plural). What does this mean?

Seven sabbaths were to be counted from the Feast of First-fruits or Passover. Consequently, these came to be known as "First Sabbath," "Second Sabbath" etc., down to the seventh. And according to Julian Morgenstern, former President of Hebrew University, this practice continued in Galilee till the time of Christ or the Common Era. It is still observed by some groups in Palestine today. Thus, there was an annual date known as "First Sabbath," just after Passover. [page 230, The Life of Christ in Stereo]

Every single resurrection passage uses the Greek "μιᾷ τῶν σαββάτων" to designate the day He arose from the tomb............Saturday the Sabbath, Nisan 30, A.D.

[Matthew 28:1][Mark 16:2][John 20:1]..........check your lexicons and you'll see that the day of resurrection was on the "First of the Sabbaths" between Passover and Pentecost. There were seven...................[Leviticus 23:15-16].
