Many Christians, particularly those in Evangelical circles would say that Sunday is like the "Christian Sabbath" in which people must come to church and refrain from work. This was seen at Puritan colonies in New England. This eventually evolved to Sunday Laws in the US. The laws forbid working or selling things. To break one of the Sunday Laws would get you stripped of your food allowance for the week on the first offense. On the third offense, the Sunday Laws breaker could be executed. The idea among Christians that the Lord's Day, Sunday, is the Sabbath still has influences on Western society today. There is no school on Sundays, except for Sunday schools. Many stores and restaurants still close early or don't open at all on Sundays. Chick fil A is a good example of a restaurant that closed on Sunday.

What many are unaware of us that the Sabbath is not the Lord's Day nor vice versa. The Sabbath was the last day of the week dedicated to rest from work that God has done with the Earth. And God then transferred that duty to His people as stated in Exodus 20:11. It is true that Jesus rose from the grave on the first day of the week (Mark 16:9, John 20:1, and Matthew 28:1-7). But we know that God never changes (Malachi 3:6, Hebrews 13:8, and James 1:17). The purpose of the Lord's Day is different from that of the Sabbath. The Lord's Day represents a renewal of creation through His resurrection, just as Sunday is the first day of the new week. The Sabbath also holds significance for Jesus. The Sabbath does not commemorate the resurrection, but rather the day that Jesus's body laid in the tomb between His death and resurruction. This is why some the Orthodox Churches and some Oriental Orthodox Churches acknowledge the Sabbath on Saturday and the Lord's Day in Sunday.

If your point is that Sunday is not the Sabbath - no question... you are right about that.

That you have an avatar of Neon Genesis Evangelion's "Shinji Ikari" says much [absolutely filled with Kabbalah, and the author was suicidal, and the name Neon [New] Genesis [Beginning of] Evangelion [Gospel], preaches "another Gospel" [Galatians 1:6 KJB], the very picture promotes it].

No, the Lord's Day is the 7th day the Sabbath of the LORD, see Genesis 2:1-3; Exodus 20:8-11; Deuteronomy 5:12-15; Isaiah 58:13; Mark 2:27; Revelation 1:10, etc.

First of all I think most/all of us agree that Jesus was raised on week-day-1 which is the day we call Sunday.

Other than that - there are a couple of issues
1. The actual Sabbath Command as spoken by God (Genesis 2:1-3, Exodus 20:11) does not mention anything at all about Jesus being in the tomb as being the reason for it or what it commemorates. And of course what God says about it should at least carry "some" weight with Christians.

2. Are you claiming that orthodox church reject the Ten Commandments or that they think the Sabbath commandment is no longer one of the TEN?

Orthodox actually teach officially:

[English Translation; Orthodox] “XXXVI. Have before thine eyes the fear of God, and always remember the ten commandments of God,-to love the one and only Lord God with all thy strength; to give no heed to idols, or any other beings, as being lifeless gods, or irrational beings or daemons. Consider the manifold workmanship of God, which received its beginning through Christ. Thou shalt observe the Sabbath, on account of Him who ceased from His work of creation, but ceased not from His work of providence: it is a rest for meditation of the law, not for idleness of the hands. Reject every unlawful lust, everything destructive to men, and all anger. Honour thy parents, as the authors of thy being. Love thy neighbour as thyself. ...” - Apostolic Teaching and Constitutions: Constitutions of the Holy Apostles: Book II
Moreso:

“... When the Lord commanded the Hebrews, in the fourth of the Ten Commandments, to “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy,” He also gave them the reason: “For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them, and rested on the seventh day. Therefore, the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it” (Ex 20:8, 11; cf. Gn 2:1-3). When Moses restated the Ten Commandments in Deuteronomy 5, he added another reason: “Remember, you were a servant in the land of Egypt, and the Lord your God brought you out from there by a mighty hand and by an outstretched arm; therefore, the Lord your God ordered you to guard the Sabbath day and to sanctify it” (5:15).

The Hebrews were called to “remember” (Ex 20:8), to “keep” (Lv 19:3, 30), and to “hallow” or “sanctify” (Jer 17:19-27; Ezk 20:19, 20; Neh 13:15-22) the Sabbath by resting from almost every kind of work. God provided them this sacred time each week to help them contemplate His awesome work in creation and their miraculous deliverance from Egypt. Stipulating the faithful observance of the Sabbath was one of the main ways God ordained to reinforce the people’s covenant with Him (Ex 31:12-17; cf. Lv 24:8). …

… At first, early Jewish Christians continued to observe Sabbath regulations and to worship on the Sabbath (Acts 13:13-15, 42-44; 18:1-4). … Jesus rose on a Sunday. ...

… For Orthodox Christians, Saturday is still the Sabbath, the day on which the Church especially remembers the departed, since Christ rested in the tomb on Great and Holy Saturday. …

… As the day after the seventh day (when God rested from His six days of creation) and as the day of Christ’s Resurrection, Sunday … ” [Section, The Sabbath Day ...] - The Sabbath Day

"Eastern Orthodoxy

The Eastern Orthodox Church holds its moral truths to be chiefly contained in the Ten Commandments.[68] A confession begins with the Confessor reciting the Ten Commandments and asking the penitent which of them he has broken.[69] ...

[68] Sebastian Dabovich, Preaching in the Russian Church, p. 65. Cubery (1899).

[69] Alexander Hugh Hore, Eighteen Centuries of the Orthodox Church, p. 36. J. Parker and Co. (1899)." - Ten Commandments - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I wonder what "Ten Commandments" they cite and where from in Scripture? Oh wait a minute, here they are from the Eastern Orthodox Catechism [though again shortened from what Scripture actually says]:

"489. Which are the chief and general commandments of this law?

The following ten, which were written on two tables of stone:

1. I am the Lord thy God: thou shalt have none other gods beside me.
2. Thou shalt not make unto thyself any graven image, nor the likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters under the earth: thou shalt not bow down to them, nor serve them.
3. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.
4. Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy: six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work; but the seventh day is the Sabbath to the Lord thy God.
5. Honor thy father and thy mother, that it may be well with thee, and that thy days may be long upon the earth.
6. Thou shalt not kill.
7. Thou shalt not commit adultery.
8. Thou shalt not steal.
9. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.
10. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house, nor his land, nor his man-servant, nor his maid-servant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any of his cattle, nor any thing that is thy neighbor's. Exod. xx. 1-17; Deut. v. 6-21.

490. You said that these Commandments were given to the people of Israel: must we, then, also walk by them?

We must: for they are in substance the same law which, in the words of St. Paul, has been written in the hearts of all men, that all should walk by it.

491. Did Jesus Christ teach men to walk by the Ten Commandments?

He bade men, if they would attain to everlasting life, to keep the Commandments and taught us to understand and fulfill them more perfectly than had been done before he came. Matt xix. 17, and v.

On the Division of the Commandments into Two Tables.

492. What means the division of the Ten Commandments into two tables?

This: that they contain two kinds of love--love to God, and love to our neighbor; and prescribe two corresponding kinds of duties." - The Longer Catechism of The Orthodox, Catholic, Eastern Church • Pravoslavieto.com

Ooops, scratch [strikethrough]"Ten"[/strikethrough] and write "Nine" of God's Commands + "1 man made tradition, nullifying God's Commands"...:

"537. Is the Sabbath kept in the Christian Church?

It is not kept, strictly speaking, as a holy day ...

538. How, then, does the Christian Church obey the fourth commandment?

She still to every six days keeps a seventh, only not the last of the seven days, which is the Sabbath, but the first day in every week ... " - The Longer Catechism of The Orthodox, Catholic, Eastern Church • Pravoslavieto.com

It is written:

Matthew 13:35 KJB - That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.

Romans 16:25 KJB - Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,​

But Jesus spake parables of the great "harvest".

Man was to work 6 days and rest, just as God did [Genesis 1:1-2:3]:

Exodus 20:8 KJB - Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.

Exodus 20:9 KJB - Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:

Exodus 20:10 KJB - But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:

Exodus 20:11 KJB - For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
Thus a work-week of 6 days and the 7th of Rest. A Great Harvest of sowing and reaping for 6 days, and the 7th of Rest ... A parable of the Gospel, seen from the beginning ...

A Sower went forth to Sow [already the 3 Angels [and the 4th to come] are reaping]; Revelation 14:6-12; 18:1-5 KJB]…

And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow; Matthew 13:3​

What are the Scriptures speaking about? The Gospel, that sweet Mystery, and The Kingdom of Heaven thereof:

He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. Matthew 13:11

Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: Matthew 13:24​

Many have desired to hear what ye are about to hear today, to see what ye see today, and to know what ye shall know hereafter:

For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them. Matthew 13:17​

Who is the Sower? It is Jesus Christ:

He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; Matthew 13:37​

What is the Field? It is the world:

The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; Matthew 13:38​

What is the purpose of the sowing? To reap a Harvest:

Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn. Matthew 13:30​

When is the Harvest? At the end of the world:

The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. Matthew 13:39​

What is Harvested? The souls/persons of men:

Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn. Matthew 13:30

The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; Matthew 13:38

The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; Matthew 13:41​

The Everlasting Gospel. What is it?

And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. 1 Timothy 3:16

Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began, Romans 16:25

And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel, Ephesians 6:19

But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets. Revelation 10:7

To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: Colossians 1:27​

The same Everlasting Gospel as is preached in Revelation 14:6-7 KJB, is the same Gospel as given in Genesis 3:15 KJB, preached by Noah [1 Peter 1:11-12, 3:18-20 KJB], and as given unto Abraham [Galatians 3:6-8 KJB] and Israel [the peoples, that church in the wilderness; Hebrews 4:2,6; Acts 7:38 KJB], Isaiah [Isaiah 52:7; Romans 10:16 KJB] and Nahum [Nahum 1:15 KJB], all long gone, but the Gospel was still preached unto them [1 Peter 4:6 KJB].

In Genesis 1-2, there are 6 literal consecutive 24 hour days of evening and morning, and the 7th day of rest. First the natural, then the spiritual [1 Corinthians 15:46 KJB]. Yet, though they are natural days, God explained in them something far greater, condensing all of human history into just Genesis 1-2 KJB.

By God's grace, I will now reveal that mystery that has been kept hidden since the world began ...

What happened in the 1st Day of Genesis?

1st Day - God said, "Let there be Light..." [Genesis 1:3], and separated the light from the darkness, and this also calling us out of darkness into his Light, and so that the children of the Day and of the Night may be made manifest [1 Thessalonians 5:5].

But let us look in the Days with the Lord, even as a thousand years [2 Peter 3:1-18, especially vs 8] …

2 Peter 3:8 KJB - But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

Psalms 90:4 KJB - For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.
Since it is written that a day with the Lord is as a thousand years, then:

When Adam sinned, the darkness of this world's night fell upon it ...

What happened in the First day “with” God?

In the first 1,000 Years, after the fall of Adam [for Adam lived just short of the full day “with” God, Genesis 5:5, 2:17], in Genesis 3:15 we see the Everlasting Gospel go forward. ... "And God said, Let there be light: and there was light." [Genesis 1:3];

What Light went forward in the first 1,000 years?

It was verily:

"... the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God... For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to [give] the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ." [2 Corinthians 4:4-6] shone forth with blazing power to save...​

Genesis 3:15, the Gospel Light went forward ...

Adam died at 930 years of age [Genesis 5:5 KJB], just short of the "day with the LORD" [as per Genesis 2:17 KJB] as promised, dying "in the day".

The 2nd Day - God said, "Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters....divided the waters which [were] under the firmament from the waters which [were] above the firmament..." [Genesis 1:6-7]

In the Second 1,000 years, in the times of Abraham, the Gospel was made known unto him [Galatians 3:6-8], and so God called out a person who was to become a great nation, a multitude, a nation in whom all the earth would be blessed [Genesis 15:4-6, 18:18], calling Him and his out from Ur [Babylon], for "...The waters...are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues." [Revelation 17:5], and God separated the waters, A Heavenly body of waters, from the earthly body of waters, a heavenly [spiritual] peoples, from the earthly [carnal] peoples [Acts 7:2-5], and placed a space between them, and open division, clear, and without mixture, and from this Abraham would the seed come [Genesis 15:5, 18]...​

The Third Day
- God said, "Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, [and] the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed [is] in itself, upon the earth: and it was so." [Genesis 1:11]

In the Third 1,000 years, in the time of Moses, the same Gospel was also preached [Hebrews 4:2,6; Acts 7:38], and among the grass [Psalms 103:15; Isaiah 51:12; 1 Peter 1:24], that Nation of the line of Abraham, was brought forth from out of Egypt [a symbol of the earth [worldliness]], and Israel, was to be a fruit bearing Tree [Luke 13:6-7; John 1:48-50; Romans 11:17,24, etc], whose seed [the Gospel and Christ; Genesis 3:15] was in itself, came forth to bear much fruit...​

The Fourth Day - God said, "Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: ... let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth... And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: [he made] the stars also.", thus the Sun, Moon and stars shone forth...

In the Fourth 1,000 years, The Seed Himself, Christ Jesus [Galatians 3:16], the glorious light of the Gospel [2 Corinthians 4:4-6], the Sun of Righteousness arose [Malachi 4:2], the blazing True Light [John 1:7-9, 8:12; Revelation 1:16] and was born into the world [Luke 3; Revelation 12:2-5], and the moon [the lesser light, like John the Baptist [John 1:6-8,15, 5:35], and the scriptures [Psalms 119:105; John 5:39; Luke 24:27; etc]] reflected His glory, and the true and unwandering stars shone to magnify Him [His people; Proverbs 4:18; Matthew 5:14; Revelation 1:6, etc; John, James, Peter, Paul, Apostles, Disciples, martyrs, saints, remnant; etc] each lighting the earth with their light, the lesser lights in submission to the Greater [John 1:4-9].​

The Fifth Day [shortened] - God brought forth life from the waters and they were told to be fruitful and multiply...

In the Fifth 1,000 years, the waters of life, bring life, and multiplies and were fruitful, the Everlasting Gospel begins to spread to the whole inhabited world, every Nation... to every Creature [Matthew 28:19; Mark 13:10, 16:15; Acts 1:8; Colossians 1:23,27, to Jew and Gentile] and continues to fill the earth...

The Beast from the Sea arose [538-1798], Revelation 13:1 KJB

The 6th Day - God made perfect and sinless man, man in His own image, and a marriage… [shortened]

In the Sixth 1,000 years, mankind created in perfection, we shall see what the Everlasting Gospel of God, Divinity combined mysteriously with Humanity, what God, Christ, who is without sin can do in sinful human flesh... God recreates His image in us, “I will...” in fulfillment of His promises [Genesis 3:15; Jeremiah 31:31-34; Ezekiel 36:23-38, 37:23-28; 2 Corinthians 3:3; Hebrews 8:8-12, 10:16], He shall have the final Generation... the Harvest of Life, and the Marriage [Luke 12:36]... and the “...mystery of God should be finished...” [Revelation 10:7], Jesus is the “...author and finisher of our faith...” [Hebrews 12:2], the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the Ending, the First and the Last...

The Beast of the Earth, arose in the 6th 1,000 years, Revelation 13:11 KJB.

Notice that in the sixth day, there was a marriage, see Daniel 7:13-14; Luke 12:36; Isaiah 62:1-5

Notice, also Psalms 90:4 [and 2 Peter 3:8 KJB] again, and see not only that a “day with the LORD” is 1,000 years, but it also says, “and” “as a watch in the night”.

When Adam sinned, darkness fell upon this world, and therefore, there are 4 Watches in the Nighttime: Mark 6:48, thus each watch is also 1,000 years, thus from Adam to Jesus is again, 4,000 years, and then it is daytime, the Sun of Righeousness arises with healing in His wings, Malachi 4:2, etc. Thus there were only “2” working days left, and even satan knew it. For he must study prophecy also [see SoP/ToJ; {DA 115.1}; {20MR 175.5}], see Revelation 12:12, 14:15; Matthew 8:29 KJB

The 7th Day God rested…

The Seventh 1,000 years, all of saved humanity, is in atonement with God in Heaven... in rest...

Revelation 1:10, Hebrews 12:2; Psalms 90:4; Mark 6:48; Isaiah 46:9-10 [Declaring the End from the Beginning … In the beginning Genesis 1:1 KJB]

The 7th Day, begins on earth, for the “dark” part of the day begins each new day, the “evening” portion, see Genesis 1, thus, since there is “no night” in heaven, it is then everlasting Day, which is the “rest” of the 7th Day [double entendre], see John 9:4; Revelation 21:25, 22:5

However, both Peter, Paul, John etc knew this also., see 2 Thessalonians 2:3; the phrase the “last days” [refer to the last “2” days of the great cosmic week with the LORD [ie, BC 4 to today] , and the final “Day of the LORD”, being the 7th.], see Acts 2:17; 2 Timothy 3:1; 2 Peter 3:3, which is why the disciples could speak of the “last days” 2,000 years ago, and it not be a mistake, nor error.

Thus the 7th Day the Sabbath, "the Lord's Day" is the ending of the Natural Week

Thus "the Day of the LORD" is the 7,000 Year, Great Sabbath, ending the great Cosmic week "with the LORD"

Just about every gospel says that Jesus rose on the first day of the week. Furthermore, Matthew 28:1 says that Jesus rose on the day after the Sabbath, when Mary Magedeline, James' Mother, and Salome could not bring incense to His tomb.
But the natural week was the old cycle until Jesus fufilled the law (Colossians 2:14) . Since Jesus' creation of the new covenant after His death and Resurrection, we have been freed from the old cycle of death (Galations 3:10-14,19-24). So Jesus created a new cycle with that new covenant.

Just about every gospel says that Jesus rose on the first day of the week.
Actually they all do, but that is not in contention in the least. Here is the 9 'explicit' texts in all of scripture [KJB] that speak of the "first" day of the week. There are a few implicit, but not needful at the moment:

Genesis 1:5 KJB - And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

Matthew 28:1 KJB - In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.

Mark 16:2 KJB - And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun.

Mark 16:9 KJB - Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils.

Luke 24:1 KJB - Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them.

John 20:1 KJB - The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre.

John 20:19 KJB - Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.

Acts 20:7 KJB - And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.

1 Corinthians 16:2 KJB - Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come.​

Show me where the word, the specific word, "Lord" is associated with any one of them, or where anyone [Jew/Gentile] called the "first" day anything other than a simple number in relation to the culmination of the week, which is the 7th day the Sabbath of the Lord.

In the Greek these are [every single 'first [day] of the week' text, as each text clearly shows that the first day is simply a number, with no special association or designation, other than it is simply one day toward the culmination of the week, being the 7th Day the Sabbath of the LORD thy God]:

Genesis 1:5 HOT - yôm echäd
so-called LXX* - hemera mia
Matthew 28:1(a) - oye de sabbatwn
Matthew 28:1(b)
- eiV mian sabbatwn
Mark 16:2
- kai lian prwi ths mias sabbatwn
Mark 16:9
- anastas de prwi prwth sabbatou
Luke 24:1
- th de mia twn sabbatwn
John 20:1
- th de mia twn sabbatwn
John 20:19
- th mia twn sabbatwn
Acts 20:7
- en de th mia twn sabbatwn
1 Corinthians 16:2
- kata mian sabbatwn
That the Sabbath [of the Lord thy God], [being] the 7th day, is always the culmination of the week in God's Created order and is always referred to as such in all of scripture.

Therefore, every single “first [day] of the week” text upholds the 7th Day Sabbath, and is undeniable evidence of its continued existence and prominence.

That Jesus Christ arose on the 'first' day of the week was foretold in type, by the feast of Firstfruits/Wavesheaf, which was a seasonal feast one time in the year [Leviticus 23:9-14 KJB], and had nothing to do with any weekly re-curring event.

There is nowhere in scripture which even comes close to calling the 'first' day of the week, "the Lord's day".

Just about every gospel says that Jesus rose on the first day of the week.

Revelation 1:10 KJB, as shown, speaks of the Sabbath of the Lord thy God, the 7th Day.

Revelation 1:10 KJB - I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,

Revelation 1:10 GNT TR - εγενομην εν πνευματι εν τη κυριακη ημερα και ηκουσα οπισω μου φωνην μεγαλην ως σαλπιγγος​

Exodus 31:15 LXX* - ἓξ ἡμέρας ποιήσεις ἔργα, τῇ δὲ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἑβδόμῃ σάββατα, ἀνάπαυσις ἁγία τῷ κυρίῳ· πᾶς, ὃς ποιήσει ἔργον τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἑβδόμῃ, θανάτῳ θανατωθήσεται.

Deuteronomy 5:15 LXX* - καὶ μνησθήσῃ ὅτι οἰκέτης ἦσθα ἐν γῇ Αἰγύπτῳ καὶ ἐξήγαγέν σε κύριος ὁ θεός σου ἐκεῖθεν ἐν χειρὶ κραταιᾷ καὶ ἐν βραχίονι ὑψηλῷ, διὰ τοῦτο συνέταξέν σοι κύριος ὁ θεός σου ὥστε φυλάσσεσθαι τὴν ἡμέραν τῶν σαββάτων καὶ ἁγιάζειν αὐτήν. --​

Exodus 16:23,25,26,29,30, 35:2,3; Leviticus 23:3 KJB and so-called LXX:

Exodus 16:23 KJB - And he said unto them, This is that which the LORD hath said, To morrow is the rest of the holy sabbath unto the LORD: bake that which ye will bake to day, and seethe that ye will seethe; and that which remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the morning.

Exodus 16:23 LXX* - εἶπεν δὲ Μωυσῆς πρὸς αὐτούς Τοῦτο τὸ ῥῆμά ἐστιν, ὃ ἐλάλησεν κύριος· σάββατα ἀνάπαυσις ἁγία τῷ κυρίῳ αὔριον· ὅσα ἐὰν πέσσητε, πέσσετε, καὶ ὅσα ἐὰν ἕψητε, ἕψετε· καὶ πᾶν τὸ πλεονάζον καταλίπετε αὐτὸ εἰς ἀποθήκην εἰς τὸ πρωί.

Exodus 16:25 KJB - And Moses said, Eat that to day; for to day is a sabbath unto the LORD: to day ye shall not find it in the field.

Exodus 16:25 LXX* - εἶπεν δὲ Μωυσῆς Φάγετε σήμερον· ἔστιν γὰρ σάββατα σήμερον τῷ κυρίῳ· οὐχ εὑρεθήσεται ἐν τῷ πεδίῳ.

Exodus 16:26 KJB - Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day, which is the sabbath, in it there shall be none.

Exodus 16:26 LXX* - ἓξ ἡμέρας συλλέξετε· τῇ δὲ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἑβδόμῃ σάββατα, ὅτι οὐκ ἔσται ἐν αὐτῇ.

Exodus 16:29 LXX* - ἴδετε, γὰρ κύριος ἔδωκεν ὑμῖν τὴν ἡμέραν ταύτην τὰ σάββατα· διὰ τοῦτο αὐτὸς ἔδωκεν ὑμῖν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἕκτῃ ἄρτους δύο ἡμερῶν· καθήσεσθε ἕκαστος εἰς τοὺς οἴκους ὑμῶν, μηδεὶς ἐκπορευέσθω ἐκ τοῦ τόπου αὐτοῦ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἑβδόμῃ.

Exodus 16:30 KJB - So the people rested on the seventh day.

Exodus 16:30 LXX* - καὶ ἐσαββάτισεν ὁ λαὸς τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἑβδόμῃ.

Exodus 35:2 KJB - Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you an holy day, a sabbath of rest to the LORD: whosoever doeth work therein shall be put to death.

Exodus 35:2 LXX* - ἓξ ἡμέρας ποιήσεις ἔργα, τῇ δὲ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἑβδόμῃ κατάπαυσις, ἅγιον, σάββατα, ἀνάπαυσις κυρίῳ· πᾶς ὁ ποιῶν ἔργον ἐν αὐτῇ τελευτάτω.

Exodus 35:3 KJB - Ye shall kindle no fire throughout your habitations upon the sabbath day.

Furthermore, Matthew 28:1 says that Jesus rose on the day after the Sabbath, when Mary Magedeline, James' Mother, and Salome
Indeed. Agreed. Non-sequitur. That does not make the 'first' day "the Lord's day". As stated above, the scripture in that place doesn't call that day "the Lord's day", but rather simply ['first [day] towards the Sabbath [or: of the week [or 'the [day] one between sabbaths']:

Matthew 28:1(a) - oye de sabbatwn
Matthew 28:1(b)
- eiV mian sabbatwn

... could not bring incense to His tomb.
I assume you mean that they could not bring the spices on the 7th day the Sabbath of the Lord. That is correct. Agreed, as per: Luke 23:54,56 KJB, etc. Again, non-sequitur. It doesn't give the appellation of "the Lord's day" to the 'first' day of the week. Not a single Gospel writer did so, as seen above, not even the Gentile Luke.

... But the natural week was the old cycle until Jesus fufilled the law (Colossians 2:14). ...
As for Colossians 2, see -


The "natural" week is permanent, as per scripture, its order set byu God, and unchanging, and will be so even in the New Heavens and New Earth:

Ecclesiastes 12:2 KJB - While the sun, or the light, or the moon, or the stars, be not darkened, nor the clouds return after the rain:

Jeremiah 31:35 KJB - Thus saith the LORD, which giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The LORD of hosts is his name:

Jeremiah 31:36 KJB - If those ordinances depart from before me, saith the LORD, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever.

Jeremiah 33:25 KJB - Thus saith the LORD; If my covenant be not with day and night, and if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth;

Isaiah 66:23 KJB - And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD.​

Should the "natural" week ever be disturbed, it would disturb also the "spiritual" Cosmic week with God as cited above [1 Corinthians 15:46 KJB] - The Lord's Day and the Sabbath are different days of the week

... Since Jesus' creation of the new covenant after His death and Resurrection ...
The New [Everlasting] Covenant was not created after Jesus' death and resurrection. It was ratified by His "blood" on the 6th Day [not the first]. The Father ratified it likewise on Jesus' first ascension on the 'first' day of the week [John 20:17 KJB; Psalms 24; Revelation 4-5 KJB]. Adam, Abel, Seth, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Job, etc all had access to the New [Everlasting] Covenant, but it was not ratified until Jesus shed His blood.

Genesis 17:7 KJB - And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee.​

God Himself said of His Eternal Covenant, which is the Ten Commandments:

Psalms 89:34 KJB - My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.​

... we have been freed from the old cycle of death (Galations 3:10-14,19-24). ...
Freed from past sins, which leads to death. Now alive in Christ to obey Him in His commandments, through the strength provided at Calvary [Romans 5:6; Revelation 12:10; Philippians 4:13 KJB]

You can read more about Galatians here - COL 2:14-17 The REAL truth from God's Word

... So Jesus created a new cycle with that new covenant.
Jesus rested in His Sabbath, the 7th Day, dead to sin, dead to the carnal world, the lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes and the pride of life, and arose on the first day of the week and went back to "work" as the High Priest ...

The 7th Day the Sabbath is the eternal memorial of perfect Creation without Sin of mankind, and then also in Salvation from Sin of mankind, and soon for the whole of Redemption ...

PS. changing to another anime character, doesn't help. as I know the depths of satan in them, having come out of it, and the things therein I cannot even describe on this forum. It is filled with shamanism, ancestor worship, false gods, idols, sorcery, witchcraft, dishonours father and mother, foments rebellion [including the musick], blasphemies against God and His Gospel, and that is just the standard anime ... I am not even talking about what I personally know [by experience] of the depths of those things that are there beyond the standard ...

Hebrews 4:7 God again set a certain day, calling it “Today.” This he did when a long time later he spoke through David, as in the passage already quoted:

“Today, if you hear his voice,
do not harden your hearts.”[d]

Orthodox actually teach officially:

[English Translation; Orthodox] “XXXVI. Have before thine eyes the fear of God, and always remember the ten commandments of God,-to love the one and only Lord God with all thy strength; to give no heed to idols, or any other beings, as being lifeless gods, or irrational beings or daemons. Consider the manifold workmanship of God, which received its beginning through Christ. Thou shalt observe the Sabbath, on account of Him who ceased from His work of creation, but ceased not from His work of providence: it is a rest for meditation of the law, not for idleness of the hands. Reject every unlawful lust, everything destructive to men, and all anger. Honour thy parents, as the authors of thy being. Love thy neighbour as thyself. ...” - Apostolic Teaching and Constitutions: Constitutions of the Holy Apostles: Book II
Moreso:

“... When the Lord commanded the Hebrews, in the fourth of the Ten Commandments, to “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy,” He also gave them the reason: “For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them, and rested on the seventh day. Therefore, the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it” (Ex 20:8, 11; cf. Gn 2:1-3). When Moses restated the Ten Commandments in Deuteronomy 5, he added another reason: “Remember, you were a servant in the land of Egypt, and the Lord your God brought you out from there by a mighty hand and by an outstretched arm; therefore, the Lord your God ordered you to guard the Sabbath day and to sanctify it” (5:15).

The Hebrews were called to “remember” (Ex 20:8), to “keep” (Lv 19:3, 30), and to “hallow” or “sanctify” (Jer 17:19-27; Ezk 20:19, 20; Neh 13:15-22) the Sabbath by resting from almost every kind of work. God provided them this sacred time each week to help them contemplate His awesome work in creation and their miraculous deliverance from Egypt. Stipulating the faithful observance of the Sabbath was one of the main ways God ordained to reinforce the people’s covenant with Him (Ex 31:12-17; cf. Lv 24:8). …

… At first, early Jewish Christians continued to observe Sabbath regulations and to worship on the Sabbath (Acts 13:13-15, 42-44; 18:1-4). … Jesus rose on a Sunday. ...

… For Orthodox Christians, Saturday is still the Sabbath, the day on which the Church especially remembers the departed, since Christ rested in the tomb on Great and Holy Saturday. …

… As the day after the seventh day (when God rested from His six days of creation) and as the day of Christ’s Resurrection, Sunday … ” [Section, The Sabbath Day ...] - The Sabbath Day

"Eastern Orthodoxy

The Eastern Orthodox Church holds its moral truths to be chiefly contained in the Ten Commandments.[68] A confession begins with the Confessor reciting the Ten Commandments and asking the penitent which of them he has broken.[69] ...

[68] Sebastian Dabovich, Preaching in the Russian Church, p. 65. Cubery (1899).

[69] Alexander Hugh Hore, Eighteen Centuries of the Orthodox Church, p. 36. J. Parker and Co. (1899)." - Ten Commandments - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I wonder what "Ten Commandments" they cite and where from in Scripture? Oh wait a minute, here they are from the Eastern Orthodox Catechism [though again shortened from what Scripture actually says]:

"489. Which are the chief and general commandments of this law?

The following ten, which were written on two tables of stone:

1. I am the Lord thy God: thou shalt have none other gods beside me.
2. Thou shalt not make unto thyself any graven image, nor the likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters under the earth: thou shalt not bow down to them, nor serve them.
3. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.
4. Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy: six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work; but the seventh day is the Sabbath to the Lord thy God.
5. Honor thy father and thy mother, that it may be well with thee, and that thy days may be long upon the earth.
6. Thou shalt not kill.
7. Thou shalt not commit adultery.
8. Thou shalt not steal.
9. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.
10. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house, nor his land, nor his man-servant, nor his maid-servant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any of his cattle, nor any thing that is thy neighbor's. Exod. xx. 1-17; Deut. v. 6-21.

490. You said that these Commandments were given to the people of Israel: must we, then, also walk by them?

We must: for they are in substance the same law which, in the words of St. Paul, has been written in the hearts of all men, that all should walk by it.

491. Did Jesus Christ teach men to walk by the Ten Commandments?

He bade men, if they would attain to everlasting life, to keep the Commandments and taught us to understand and fulfill them more perfectly than had been done before he came. Matt xix. 17, and v.

On the Division of the Commandments into Two Tables.

492. What means the division of the Ten Commandments into two tables?

This: that they contain two kinds of love--love to God, and love to our neighbor; and prescribe two corresponding kinds of duties." - The Longer Catechism of The Orthodox, Catholic, Eastern Church • Pravoslavieto.com

Ooops, scratch [strikethrough]"Ten"[/strikethrough] and write "Nine" of God's Commands + "1 man made tradition, nullifying God's Commands"...:

"537. Is the Sabbath kept in the Christian Church?

It is not kept, strictly speaking, as a holy day ...

538. How, then, does the Christian Church obey the fourth commandment?

She still to every six days keeps a seventh, only not the last of the seven days, which is the Sabbath, but the first day in every week ... " - The Longer Catechism of The Orthodox, Catholic, Eastern Church • Pravoslavieto.com

Nice post - thanks!

"this IS the Love of God that we KEEP His Commandments" 1 John 3:4
"Honor your father and mother...is the first commandment with a promise" Eph 6:2
"Keep the Commandments" and then Jesus is asked "Which ones"...then He quotes from the TEN Matt 19

But the natural week was the old cycle until Jesus fufilled the law (Colossians 2:14) .

No NT text says anything at all about the weekly cycle changing.

Rather "EVERY SABBATH" Acts 18:4 both Jew and gentile met for Gospel preaching in the synagogue
And "EVERY SABBATH" the NT church was hearing the Bible read in the synagogues Acts 15:21
And "from Sabbath to Sabbath" for all eternity after the cross, in the New Earth "shall all mankind come before Me to worship" Isaiah 66:23

Since Jesus' creation of the new covenant after His death and Resurrection,

On the contrary - the NEW Covenant is in the OLD Testament Jer 31:31-33 and it is the ONE Gospel that is preached today and "was preached to Abraham" Gal 3:8

we have been freed from the old cycle of death (Galations 3:10-14,19-24). So Jesus created a new cycle with that new covenant.

No text in OT or NT says "Jesus created a new cycle"

Do you know where Paul is quoting from in Hebrews 4? I do, and it's a lot more than Genesis and Psalms 95.

Hebrews 4:4 KJB - For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.

Hebrews 4:5 KJB - And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.​

How did God, give the exmple for men in Genesis? How many days did He "work" and on which specific day did God, "rest"?

Now, why didn't some enter into it? See vs 6. Will mankind repent and believe and thus "enter into" God's "rest", "the seventh day"?

Hebrews 4:7 KJB - Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
Or, will 'Israel' today, like 'Israel' of old, "harden" their "hearts" and refuse God's commandment and example? It is "to day", and that "to day" is the day of grace. Soon that "to day" of grace will close. All those still found not in repentant obedience to God, will perish. Make the decision then "to day", and "harden not your heart", and obey God in His commandment [Exodus 20:8-11 KJB], which is the demonstration of faith and love, that Jesus has delivered from sin [1 John 3:4 KJB].

Nice post - thanks!
God shared with me His Son, and His Holy Spirit, so I share in return everything else given me by God. :)

Romans 8:32 KJB - He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?

1 Corinthians 4:7 KJB - For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?
Therefore:

"... freely ye have received, freely give. ..." - Matthew 10:8 KJB​

God bless you brother BobRyan. I know, by the Holy Ghost, you will make good use of those things.
