The Lord's Day

[from scratch]

Sorry I wasn't clear.

The apostles "taught the Church about the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The Church first observed His death on the 14th of Nisan on whatever day of the week it fell on. "

Since the apostles first taught that the death was on the 14th of Nisan, then the third day resurrection was on the 16th (14, 15, 16). Since they observed the 14th on whatever day of the week it fell, then the 16th (day of resurrection) also would have fallen on whatever day of the week.

See? The day of death was the 14th and they observed it on whatever day of the week it fell. Same with the resurrection. It was the 16th and they observed it on whatever day of the week it fell. For example, one year the 14th could fall on a Sunday and the 16th on a Tuesday. The next year the 14th could fall on Monday and the 16th on Wednesday. Each day would be the Lord's day.

So the fixing of and definition of and reason for Lord's day as Sunday is a later invention apart from Scripture and Apostolic Tradition. The apostles never fixed or defined or observed the Lord's day as Sunday or Saturday.

Then if we consider all of Scripture, we find this confirmed--

Today is the day, if you hear the LORD, do not harden your heart ...

This is the day that the LORD has made ...

The poster is using New Moon calendar terms and applying them to the Gregorian calendar.

Why would it matter? The pascha full moon this year, for example, fell on a Wednesday IIRC by the Gregorian calendar.

The numbers of the days of the week never change. The 14th day of every month in the New Moon calendar is always the same week day. The New Moon calendar always starts on the same day of the week. The 7th day after the new moon declaration is always the Sabbath. Check any moon phase calendar and you'll see that the new moon isn't the same week day every month.

Pentecost is always the first day of the week. Pentecost is 50 days after Passover.
