And who do you suppose Saturday was named after?

It was named after Saturn, which incidentally is also a Roman god, aka Cronos or Marduk.

However, my reference to this was to raise the point that Sunday was historically a day of pagan worship, exclusively for the sun god or goddess's...

Ezekiel warned there would come a time when the priesthood or "Christian" church leaders would not look to God nor His Word on this issue, but would rather follow pagan traditions and rituals, ultimately incorporating them into the popular Christian beliefs:

Eze 8:16 NIV - He then brought me into the inner court of the house of the LORD, and there at the entrance to the temple, between the portico and the altar, were about twenty-five men. With their backs toward the temple of the LORD and their faces toward the east, they were bowing down to the sun in the east.

hey -- you didn't ping me in reference ;-P

historical note -- while Saturn may be the Latin equivalent of the Greek Titan Cronos; Marduk was not the same and the mythology is quite different.
