Christ rose from the dead on the first day of the week. Thus it quickly became "the Lord's Day."

Chapter and verse, please?

Matthew 28:1
Mark 16:2
Luke 24:1
John 20:1

Luke 24:13
John 20:19
John 20:26

Acts 20:7
1 Corinthians 16:2
Revelation 1:10

Matthew 28:1

First words out of the gate in Matthew 28:1.... from the original Greek Language, [Now late on Sabbath]. Some translations say after the Sabbath....they are wrong. The Angel says in verse 6, [He is not here; He has risen]

Mark 16:2

Since the Greek has no punctuation I can also say [When Jesus rose, early on the first day of the week he appeared...

Luke 24:1

If you notice in verse 3 the body was already gone and if you reconcile that with Matthew 28:1 he would have risen about sundown on the Sabbath.....so obviously 12 hours later the body would still be gone.

John 20:1

This also says [Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark]. Are you aware of the fact that early on the first day to Hebrews would mean just after sundown?

Luke 24:13

This verse says nothing about a Sunday resurrection.

John 20:19, [On the evening of the first day of the week (this would be Saturday evening our time....the evening after the end of the Sabbath, Hebrew time), when the Disciples were together with the doors locked for fear of the Jews.

I'm sorry, I do not see any thing here about a Sunday resurrection.

John 20:26

Again....nothing about a Sunday resurrection.

Acts 20:7

Paul is here speaking after a Sabbath. They were having a meal and he talked until midnight. Again, this would be Saturday night the way we reckon the days of the week.

1 Corinthians 16:2

I don't understand what you are getting at. This says nothing of a Sunday resurrection....again.

Revelation 1:10

You obviously are getting at something....I'm not sure, but I think you are trying to tell me that "the first day of the week" has some biblical significance. Now you are telling me that we should refer to it as the Lord's day. Am I getting close?

You have not provided me with scripture showing a Sunday resurrection where I have shown you scripture that says "Now late on Sabbath" [Matthew 28:1] and in the 6th verse the Angel still says.....[He is not here; He has risen.]

I win!.
