“The Lord’s day if the figment of imagination for anyone who believes it has anything to do with worshiping on Sunday...Jesus doesn’t care which day you make the Lord’s Day...He’d like it to be EVERY DAY...

The Catholic Lord’s Day was invented by the Catholic religion to put people under BONDAGE...It is not from God...It is NOT biblical”...

Hello Iscool,

An excuse so of course, Our Lord desires our love and worship every day but Sunday is special. We must keep God’s 3rd Commandment (Protestants list the order of the 10 Commandments differently). In the New Covenant, Sunday worship and rest replaces the Sabbath and is now called the Lord’s Day.

Do not reject the Truth. Again, how can anyone ignore, why all the Churches and Cathedrals, Protestant and Catholic worldwide and why do Christians gather there specifically every Sunday?

The protest about “bondage”, the Catholic Church does not bind or control anyone. Everyone has free will.

Yes it is Biblical, here are 12 plus verses from Scripture to confirm the Truth.

Scripture

Isaiah 1:13 - God begins to reveal His displeasure with the Sabbath.

Matt. 28:1; Mark 16:2,9; John 20:1,19- the Gospel writers purposely reveal Jesus’ resurrection and appearances were on Sunday. This is because Sunday had now become the most important day in the life of the Church.

Acts 20:7 - this text shows the apostolic tradition of gathering together to celebrate the Eucharist on Sunday, the “first day of the week.” Luke documents the principle worship was on Sunday because this was one of the departures from the Jewish form of worship.

1 Cor. 16:2 - Paul instructs the Corinthians to make contributions to the churches “on the first day of the week,” which is Sunday. This is because the primary day of Christian worship is Sunday.

Col. 2:16-17 - Paul teaches that the Sabbath was only a shadow of what was fulfilled in Christ, and says “let no one pass judgment any more over a Sabbath.”

2 Thess. 2:15 - we are to hold fast to apostolic tradition, whether it is oral or written. The 2,000 year-old tradition of the Church is that the APOSTLES changed the Sabbath day of worship from Saturday to Sunday.

Heb. 4:8-9 - regarding the day of rest, if Joshua had given rest, God would not later speak of “ANOTHER DAY,” which is Sunday, the new Sabbath. Sunday is the first day of the week and the first day of the new creation brought about by our Lord’s resurrection, which was on Sunday.

Heb. 7:12 - when there is a change in the priesthood, there is a change in the law as well. Because we have a new Priest and a new sacrifice, we also have a new day of worship, which is Sunday.

Rev 1:10 - John specifically points out that he witnesses the heavenly Eucharistic liturgy on Sunday, the Lord’s day, the new day of rest in Christ.

Matt. 16:19; 18:18 - whatever the Church binds on earth is bound in heaven. Since the resurrection, Mass has been principally celebrated on Sunday.

An important verse to remember, I wonder if the KJV reads the same as the Douay-Rheims?
