    Church on a Sunday- Is it Biblical?

    This is a genuine question. 'Is going to church on a Sunday a Scriptural command or a tradition?' I know the resurrection of Jesus was on a Sunday morning but where in the Bible does it say that Christians must go to church on a given day. What are your thoughts? :)
