“Paul did not call it the “first day of the week”. He called it the first of the sabbaths..or one of the sabbaths. Look at the greek IF YOU DON’T BELIEVE ME. He was no doubt referring to either the weekly sabbath or to one of the sabbaths that is counted from the days of unleavened bread to get to Pentecost. This was explained in an earlier post.”
~ ~ ~ A couple of non-Christian sects believe you, I don’t. Stubbornly sit home on Sunday, to your loss. Why do people protesting the faith think they are wiser than the first Christians?

Well what does the greek say? It's not a matter of belief. It's a matter of evidence. Either the greek reads "one of the sabbaths" or not.

And the first Christians no doubt kept the commandments of Christ by worshipping on and keeping the Lord's sabbath holy. Many Christians today gather with those of like mind and do the same today.

Silly, “belief” is major, there’s “evidence” and “belief” for 2000 years~!!

Same old dear Douglas, repeating, and you asked so I gave you the Gospel verses but you don’t reply to the verses that show the Apostles were given the authority by Christ to change the Sabbath. Our Lord arose from the dead on Sunday, Pentecost happened on Sunday. John in Revelation tells us the Heavenly liturgy is celebrated on Sunday.

And you repeat the same objection again, trying to make one verse in Scripture fit your rejection of the Lord’s Day. The EVIDENCE, Catholics mostly and many Christians worship God on Sunday as everyone should. They BELIEVE the Apostles. Remember, God shares in the Old Testament, He is going to change the Sabbath. This is the meaning of “another day” in Hebrews 4:8-9. It happened brother.

Your second paragraph, keeping it vague, you don’t say who, name the first Christians, say where or when regarding “Christians”, then and now?

What’s your reason for saying no? May I ask, are you a 7th Day Adventist or I hope not, one of those who follow a newer Protestant sect, Messianic Judaism and their denominations (splits). I am Roman Catholic, a revert
in adulthood.
