I have carefully read all of these and the scripture from Leviticus is one I hadn't studied. I see scripture talking about meeting in these scriptures, even meetings with a special purpose, but I can not find in them that the day God blessed and told us to use as a day of rest is changed to the first day of the week. They talk of things to do that day, in Leviticus that 7 Sabbaths would have been completed and over with, but not to change the day God blessed.
When Christ became our High Priest to replace the former ones, Christ never changed anything He and His Father had set up as principles. Christ even told us He didn't, so we would see clearly what did change and how. But that Christ could change the day God blessed would be impossible.
We see by reading Paul that God isn't part of our earthly naming days, so if we think Sunday is the day he named God allows that. The church is convinced that they can name Sunday instead of Saturday, and it is OK with God as Paul tells us. But still, the legalistically correct Saturday is the day God blessed.

Hebrews 7:12 (NASB)
[SUP]12 [/SUP]For when the priesthood is changed, of necessity there takes place a change of law also.
And here is that Change.
Romans 14:5 (NKJV)
[SUP]5 [/SUP]One person esteems one day above another; another esteems every day alike. Let each be fully convinced in his own mind.
I can't believe how you Sabbath keepers, keep repeating the lie that was taught to you, based on someone's phobia about Antichrist religion, and thus you repeat the false claims that we changed the day of the Sabbath. NO WE DID NOT! Maybe the Catholic Church made a statement like that, but most of us Protestants NEVER NAMED A DAY TO WORSHIP, and certainly DO NOT believe Sunday is the Christian Sabbath. WHY? Because we believe we can worship any day of the week or everyday of the week, just like it says in the verse above. I am sure that most of the people on this board, other than you Sabbath Keepers, would tell you just like I do, "I worship my LORD EVERY DAY of the week, every time HE crosses my mind!" Why do you only worship Him on Saturday? And NOTICE you are commanded to Let us, because we are fully convinced in our minds that it is right and proper to Worship HIM any day, or EVERY DAY. You and me are both given the freedom in Christ to do any or all of the options. ONLY the Israelites were restricted to the Sabbath Day, Saturday, BECAUSE it was a sign of the Covenant between GOD and the Israelites.
Luke 22:20 (ESV)
[SUP]20 [/SUP] And likewise the cup after they had eaten, saying, “This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood.
NOTICE: It says new covenant NOT improvement of the covenant with Israel.
Please, stop spreading the lie that we changed the Sabbath or named a different day to keep the Sabbath Commandment; because that is purely a FALSEHOOD. We believe we can worship any and every day of the week, and the primary reason for Sunday, is that is a day that most of us blue collar workers have off. Even those who have to work on Sundays, usually have other options and opportunities to Worship our LORD. Most Baptists, Non-denominational Community Bible Churches, and Conservative Evangelical Churches, and possibly other Churches too, have a Sunday evening Service (Second Day of the Week) and a Wednesday evening Service, as well as Sunday Morning Services. NO one that I have ever talked to or heard of personally, believe any of them are our way of keeping the Sabbath Law. Sabbath is Saturday, and is only mandated by GOD for the ISRAELITES TO KEEP. We are given it as one option, or we can choose to worship Him any or all days of the week.
