No antagonism meant here. Just the facts.

The apostles were Jewish, right?

They went to synagogue on Saturday (in the beginning) right?

Then they would meet in home churches to celebrate the remembrance of the Last Supper on Sunday as Christ had instructed them: “Do this in remembrance of me.”

Slowly the Sunday worship took over and the verbiage changed to “The Lord’s Day.”

I will post a thread that explains it much better.

You need to read your BIBLE!

If you must BLAME someone, blame Paul:

1 Corinthians 16:1-2

Now about the collection for God’s people: Do what I told the Galatian churches to do. On the first day of every week, each one of you should set aside a sum of money in keeping with his income, saving it up, so that when I come no collections will have to be made.

Paul met with believers in Troas to worship and celebrate communion and they gathered on the FIRST day of the week, SUNDAY!

Acts 20:7

On the first day of the week we came together to break bread. Paul spoke to the people and, because he intended to leave the next day, kept on talking until midnight.

So the apostles had no problem with SUNDAY worship and neither do I!

The last supper was the Passover meal. Jesus was the fulfillment of the Passover lamb. He was instructing His disciples to remember Him - and His fulfillment of it - when they observed the Pesach feast...once a year. How we got into a weekly or monthly communion observance is a mystery to me when scripture doesn’t support it, so I’d love to read that thread you’re going to start.

So now the “Last Supper” was on Sunday? How could it be so, when they hastened to prepare the meal before Sabbath, which would be sundown on Friday? If it were a different Sabbath, then it would have been another day, but not Sunday. Something about placing Jesus in the grave before Sunset, as the Sabbath was about to come. Since there was to be three days between burial and resurrection, if he was raised by Sunday, he would have to have been buried sometime before Friday. So look for another Sabbath as his “Last Supper”.
