So many teams of translators, all experts in Greek, read the manuscripts and arrived at the same conclusion … “the first day of the week” is what the manuscripts say. They lived and worked scattered across 4 centuries, but all agreed that the meaning of the text is “the first day of the week”. SUNDAY is the first day of the week and the SABBATH is the seventh day of the week (reread Genesis 1 if you do not understand why).
Can anyone understand why I would be so utterly reluctant to accept that Greek experts have been mistranslating the Bible into English for 400 years and now, praise God, YOU have come along to correct all of them and present the REAL TRUTH to me.
If you believe that the text should be translated “the seventh day of the week”, then I suggest you publish a paper in an academic journal for peer review. I will wait to see how your peers respond before I consider “correcting” the WORD OF GOD in my Bible.
For now, I place your suggestion in the file beside the photo of Bigfoot.
Shalom,
