Where does it say in the bible that the Sabbath day (saturday) has changed to the First day of the week (sunday)?
No one is saying the Sabbath was changed to Sunday, so far as I know.
Rather, the Mosaic customs for observing Sabbath were relaxed (Col 2:16-17;
Acts 15:5-6,10-11,24; Rom 14:6) and at the same time the Christians gathered together as the whole Church to celebrate Communion on Sunday, the day of the Lord's resurrection. Given that scenario, it is obvious how the Sunday celebration of the Resurrection of Christ became the day above all days in the Christian calendar.
And, historically, the earliest historical writings left by the early Christians show that they gathered themselves together on Sunday. The SDAs are in a head on collision with scripture and history.
Haven't they read the book of Galatians? The Mosaic feasts and ceremonial precepts prefigured that Christ would come, and when he arrived
brought them to their conclusion. The Jewish feasts and circumcision of the flesh and animal sacrifice all end at The Christ.
The Jewish feasts, which prefigured that Christ would come, end with Christ's arrival. Now that the Christ has come, we celebrate that same Christ with His resurrection day Sunday, Easter, Christmas, etc. Everything now turns to Christ. Everything now centers on Christ. Everything now is about Christ. The Old Law was a temporary foreshadowing of Christ, according to St. Paul.
Are we not CHRIST-ians?
In 1 Cor 10:16 "breaking bread" is called "communion of the body of Christ."
Acts 20:7 says that Sunday was the day the christians would "gather for the breaking of bread." Paul says in 1 Cor 11:20 notes that the Lord's Supper was the very event the Christians would GATHER FOR. Also, Jesus miraculously made himself known to the believers on the road to Emmaus in the breaking of the bread (
Luke 24:30-31,35)---on Sunday.
St. Paul commanded that no one was to judge you "in regard to Jewish food or drink or in respect to a Jewish festival or a Jewish new moon or a Jewish Sabbath day--things which were a mere shadow of Christ" (Col 2:16-17). St. Paul repeats this command at
Romans 14, saying:
"The one who eats [foods considered not Kosher] is not to regard with contempt the one who does not eat, and the one who does not eat is not to judge the one who eats, for God has accepted him. Who are you to judge the servant of another? ...One person regards one day above another, another regards every day alike. Each person must be fully convinced in his own mind.
There was now LIBERTY on the issue. The obligatory keeping of the Jewish Sabbath as prescribed within the obsolete Mosaic Covenant was no longer binding---there was now LIBERTY on the issue.
And the early christians, no longer bound to observe the ceremonial/ritual laws of the Mosaic Contract, chose instead to focus on the Resurrection Day of Christ, which was Sunday. They did this by gathering themselves together for corporate worship on the Lord's Resurrection Day, and by celebrating the spirit of sabbath rest on that day of the week.
We can know that the Seventh Day Adventists don't keep the Law of Moses by how few people they stone to death. We know they don't actually keep the Law of Moses by how many precepts depend on Temple sacrifices and such (which they also can't keep). We know they don't perform the Law of Moses by the fact that the Levitical priesthood of Aaron is extinct. And yet they swear that the Law Covenant of Moses is the way of salvation.
The Covenant of Jesus is the way of salvation, and it's high time that the SDAs join into that Kingdom. And what about that 1844 "coming of Christ" that failed to actualize in the way the SDA leaders said it would?
For sure, it is NOT necessary to circumcise the flesh and to direct people to observe the Law Covenant of Moses, as the Council of Jerusalem decreed in the first century. Get with the program ye SDAs.
The SDAs think that they, after 1800 years of Sunday observance of Christians everywhere, have the authority to change this
apostolic custom. Sorry SDAs. Go join the synagogue. Or better, keep your Saturday, but add the Apostolic, Christian celebration of the Lord's Resurrection--Sunday.
How can any reasonable person suppose that the uniform Sunday observance of the Christians from the earliest apostolic times down to today is somehow a blasphemous error while the SDA sect arising in the 1800s has it correct? That's so unreasonable that I would have to surrender all my powers of reason and logic to swallow it. The fact that the apostolic churches gathered to observe a Sunday celebration of Christ's resurrection, in concert with various NT passages to the same effect, makes the SDA view impossible.
