The biggest Biblical myth yet is the supposed changing of the weekly day of worship to Sunday. This doctrine is not expressed in scripture....not even hinted at. The seven places in the New Testament that most folks claim are the verses justifying this doctrinal error don't even say what most translations claim. They are: [Matthew 28:1][Mark 16:2][Mark 16:9][Luke 24:1][John 20:1][Acts 20:6-7][I Corinthians 16:2] and all these verses refer to the Sabbath day....not the "first day of the week".
The same organization that the author claims gave us the false traditions regarding the "Trinity" also gave us the false traditions regarding Sunday observance.....with no scriptural justification whatsoever. In fact....they know it to be false, continue it anyway.....and even make fun of Protestant diligence in pursuing this false tradition along with them!
Here s a little of what the Catholic Church has to say on the subject: No such law in the Bible "Nowhere" in the bible do we find that Jesus or the apostles ordered that the Sabbath be changed from Saturday to Sunday. We have the commandment of God given to Moses to keep holy the Sabbath day, that is, the Seventh day of the week, Saturday. Today, all Christians keep Sunday because it has been revealed to us by the [Roman] church outside the Bible." Catholic Virginian, Oct. 3, 1947
"You may read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, and you will not find a single line authorizing the sanctification of Sunday. The Scriptures enforce the religious observance of Saturday, a day which we never sanctified." James Cardinal Gibbons, The Faith of Our Fathers (1917 ed.), pp.72,73
"If protestants would follow the Bible, they should worship God on the Sabbath Day, that is Saturday. In keeping Sunday they are following a law of the Catholic Church." Albert Smith, chancellor of the Archdiocese of Baltimore, replying for the cardinal in a letter of Feb. 10, 1920.
"Have you not any other way of proving that the Church has power to institute festivals of precept?" "Had she not such power, she could not have done that in which all modern religionists agree with her, she could not have substituted the observance of Sunday, the first day of the week, for the observance of Saturday, the Seventh day, a change for which there is no Scriptural authority" Stephen Keenan, A Doctrinal Catechism 3rd ed. p. 174
How prove you that the Church hath power to command feasts and holydays? By the very act of changing the Sabbath into Sunday, which Protestants allow of; and therefore they fondly contradict themselves, by keeping Sunday strictly, and breaking most other feasts commanded by the same Church." Henry Tuberville, An Abridgment of the Christian Doctrine (1833 approbation), p.58 (Same statement in Manual of Christian Doctrine, ed. by Daniel Ferris [1916 ed.], p.67)
"The Catholic Church,... by virtue of her divine mission, changed the day from Saturday to Sunday. " The Catholic Mirror, official organ of Cardinal Gibbons, Sept. 23, 1893.
"Is Saturday the 7th day according to the Bible and the 10 Commandments?" "I answer yes". "Is Sunday the first day of the week and did the Church change the 7th day, Saturday, for Sunday, the 1st day?" "I answer yes". "Did Christ change the day?" "I answer no!" Faithfully yours, "J. Cardinal Gibbons" Gibbons' autograph letter.
So what happened when the Mormons arrived on the scene with their new doctrines and strange theology? They jumped in line behind Martin Luther and followed right along with this totally Catholic innovation which has no scriptural standing whatsoever! This is why (although there seem to be many fine folks among them.....as there are among the Catholics and the Protestants also) I have never taken them too seriously about much of what they say.
I'm sorry; but you are wrong.

AAAOOOGGGAAAA! AAAOOOGGGAAA! THREAD HIJACK! THREAD HIJACK!
Same here my friend. Everyone who think the sabbath of the Lord has been "done away" with or transferred is simply following Catholic teaching and not bible facts.
