NOW WHAT DAY IS THE LORD'S DAY ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES?
Let's ask God?
Revelation 1:10 I was in the Spirit on the
Lord's day {G2962 κυριακή; G2250 ημέρα which means the Lord's ownership of the day}, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet
Q1. Dear Jesus what day is the Lords day according to your Word and not the teachings and traditions of men?
A1. Matthew 12:8 BUT THE SON OF MAN IS LORD EVEN OF THE SABBATH DAY?
Q2. Thank you Jesus, so why is the Sabbath such a special day for you?
A2. Genesis 2:2-3 ..on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made and God
blessed the seventh day, and
sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
Q3. Thank you Jesus so the Sabbath is the Lord's day because you blessed and made Holy the "seventh day of the week after you created the heavens and the earth. So surely you do not need rest Lord. Why did you make the Sabbath?
A3. Mark 2:27 THE SABBATH WAS MADE FOR MAN AND NOT MAN FOR THE SABBATH
Q4. Thank you Lord so you made it for all mankind and not just for the Jew. Should I continue to keep your Sabbath today?
A4. Hebrews 4:9
THEREFORE IT REMAINS FOR THE PEOPLE OF GOD TO KEEP THE SABBATH
Q5. Thank you Lord so the Sabbath that you made at the end of creation is for all mankind and as God's people we are to continue keeping it today. So the Sabbath really is "the Lords Holy day" and you want your people to continue keeping it?
A5. Isaiah 58:13 If you turn away your foot from the sabbath, from doing your pleasure on
MY HOLY DAY; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honorable; and shall honor him, not doing your own ways, nor finding your own pleasure, nor speaking your own words: Then shall you delight yourself in the LORD; and I will cause you to ride on the high places of the earth, and feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father: for the mouth of the LORD has spoken it.
Exodus 31:13 Speak you also to the children of Israel, saying, TRULY
MY SABBATHS YOU SHALL KEEP: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that you may know that I am the LORD that does sanctify you.
Leviticus 19:3 You shall fear every man his mother, and his father, AND KEEP
MY SABBATHS: I am the LORD your God.
Q6. Thank you Lord, so the Sabbath is one of the 10 commandments that give us the knowledge of what sin is when broken?
A6. Exodus 20:8-11 [8],
REMEMBER the SABBATH DAY, to KEEP IT HOLY. <Why?> {Because it is a
memorial looking back to the finished work of creation that JESUS made it a Holy day of rest for mankind and commands us to keep it as a Holy day} [9], Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work: [10], But the SEVENTH DAY IS THE SABBATH of the LORD thy God {This is a direct reference from God's Word defining what the Sabbath is; The SABBATH = the SEVENTH DAY OF THE WEEK}: 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: <
WHY> [11], 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, and HALLOWED IT. {Reference is backward not forward to Genesis 2:1-3}
Q7. Thank you Lord Jesus for letting us know your truth in regards to the Lord's day. So why do people call "Sunday" the Lords day when there is no connection or scripture reference to Sunday being called "the Lords day"?
A7. Danial 7:25 And
he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, AND THINK TO CHANGE TIMES AND LAWS: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
Matthew 15:3-9 [3], But he answered and said to them,
WHY DO YOU ALSO TRANSGRESS THE COMMANDMENT OF GOD BY YOUR TRADITION? [4], For God commanded, saying, Honor your father and mother: and, He that curses father or mother, let him die the death. [5], But you say, Whoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatever you might be profited by me; [6], And honor not his father or his mother, he shall be free. THUS HAVE YOU MADE THE COMMANDMENT OF GOD OF NONE EFFECT BY YOUR TRADITION. [7], YOU HYPOCRITES, WELL DID ESAIAS PROPHESY OF YOU, SAYING, [8], THIS PEOPLE DRAWS NEAR TO ME WITH THEIR MOUTH, AND HONORS ME WITH THEIR LIPS; BUT THEIR HEART IS FAR FROM ME. [9],
BUT IN VAIN THEY DO WORSHIP ME, TEACHING FOR DOCTRINES THE COMMANDMENTS OF MEN.
Thank you Lord Jesus. So Sunday worship is a man-made teaching and tradition that is not biblical and has led many to break your Sabbath 4th commandment of the 10 commandments. Thank you so much for answering our questions dear Lord...
John 8:31-32 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If you continue in my word, then are you my disciples indeed and you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

May God bless you all as you seek him through His Word
