The
first day of the week is mentioned in the New Testament 8 times ( Matthew 28.1 ;
Mark 16.2,9 ; Luke 24.1 ; John 20.1,19 ; Acts 20.7 ; 1 Corinthians 16.2 ).
The
first 6 texts shows that, even in this day of Christ was raised from the dead,
He never taught that the day of worship. On Saturday after the day of the
crucifixion the disciples "were left alone by the commandment" ( Luke
23.56
) and their collection on the first day of the week is not a celebration of
Sunday, as they did not know that Christ was resurrected. Moreover, the day
before the first day of the week is still called Saturday ( Matt 28.1, Mark 16.1-2 ).
In
Acts 20.7 we see recorded the only meeting that took
place on the night of the first day of the week (i.e. in the evening after the Sabbath and the
next morning early) "to break
bread" ( it could be an ordinary
meal, not the Lord's Supper ). Therefore,
it could not be evidence of voids of Sunday ( Acts 20.1-11 ).
In
1 Corinthians 16.2 we read that all Christians should be
"deposit ITSELF ( NOT in church or collection
) and save as will allow it to status”, on the first day of the week. This is
not to say the celebration of Sunday and only encourages the sacrifice
"from the beginnings of income" ( Prov 3.9 ).
All
the teachings are in broad agreement with the seventh day - Saturday: "There is NOT a universal Divine
commandments to the Apostles about change Saturday, the date on which the
celebrated its Jews, on the first day of the week" ( Theological Institute of Watson, v. 2, p.
511, New York, 1854 ).
