1. In your interpretation Paul is saying the same thing twice.
2. The word Sabbath was (except of the books of Moses) used for weekly Sabbath, only. Always.
Just to clear up my last point to you.

You have assumed that the last is the weekly Sabbath, but I have demonstrated that From the Old testament that this is not even a possibility.

I think you have not.
It seems you think many things. But as Yet I am waiting for some substance to your thinking.

Is it too much for me to expect you to actually address the scriptures?

"I think you have not" gives me and others nothing but opinion.

So far I have presented scripture that goes against your opinion and you have yet to demonstrate any fault in the scriptures being used the way I have.

Until you can do that by addressing the scriptures I have used, all you have is an opinion. For many that may be enough. But I expect to see evidence from the word.

You Don't have to, I don't think you can and that is the reason you fail to respond in honest scripture study. That is fine, I said this before but now I will follow through. There is no sense in me continuing this dialogue anymore.

I dont fall into tactics "you must respond to my unbelievable long post and get exhausted responding to all of that or you have lost".

Truth is simple.

And now find how is sunday in Greek.

2960 (kyriakós) is used of the Lord's Supper (i.e. "communion," the Lord's table) and "the Lord's day" (Sunday) as the appointed day for rest and worship. See 1 Cor 11:20; Rev 1:10.
No text anywhere to say Sunday is the Lord's day. You were duped friend. (in fairness, so was I)

Yes, there is no text in Bible saying "brothers, sunday is the day of the Lord".

But that does not mean we were duped, friend.

Historically, church has always known that kyriake is sunday, thats why Greek adopted naturally this word to be the word for sunday.

Church held assemblies on the first day of the week, because it was the day Lord rose from the dead, so they called it the day of the Lord.

The same they called the supper of love the supper of the Lord, because it was something He personally relates to.

If you think Revelation is about Sabbath, you should prove why would church call Sabbath the day of the Lord, but ignore it in their lives.

:smoke: are we talkin about lord's day or the sabbath day
because those two are diffirent places
where no indefinite time nor place for the other one
as it is written
:read:
1 Tesalonica: 5. 1. But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.
2. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
3. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
4. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
5. Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

... . and
as it is written
:read:
Marcos: 3. 4. And he saith unto them, Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil? to save life, or to kill? But they held their peace.
5. And when he had looked round about on them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts, he saith unto the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it out: and his hand was restored whole as the other.
6. And the Pharisees went forth, and straightway took counsel with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him.

7. But Jesus withdrew himself with his disciples to the sea: and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judaea,
8. And from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea, and from beyond Jordan; and they about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, when they had heard what great things he did, came unto him. 9. And he spake to his disciples, that a small ship should wait on him because of the multitude, lest they should throng him.
10. For he had healed many; insomuch that they pressed upon him for to touch him, as many as had plagues. 11. And unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down before him, and cried, saying, Thou art the Son of God.

.
The “day of the Lord” refers to a year-long punishment
that culminates with the return of Christ - not sunday

there is 8 n.t. verses with the phrase "first day of the week,
and not one changes the sabbath to sunday

So this means a year long period?

"On the Lord's Day I was in the Spirit, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet..."

Yes, catholics think that Sunday is the new Sabbath. But they are wrong, it is not.

Sunday is just a traditional day for church to come together. No Sabbath rules apply to Sunday (like no work etc).

Revelation 1:10 and over 30 other prophecies mention the terrible
"Day of the Lord" that will decisively conclude this age!


The Prophet Zephaniah says this time is hastening greatly, or exceedingly!

Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless
in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.1 Corinthians 1:8

In that day shall the Lord defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he
that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David Zechariah 12:8

-

John was in a prophetic vision, about future events-things to come,
not about any day of the week .

The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his
servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified
it by his angel unto his servant John:

-

This is not about a particular day of the week, like Saturday or Sunday.
In Bible [prophecy], sometimes a day is equal to a year (Ezekiel 4:6).

6And when thou hast accomplished them, lie again on thy right side,
and thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days:
I have appointed thee each [day for a year].


a prophetic day often represent a year also in Numbers 14:34.

34After the number of the days in which ye searched the land, even forty days,
each [day for a year], shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years, and ye
shall know my breach of promise.

-


this prophetic “day” of the Lord’s wrath will last a year- Isaiah 34:8; 61:2; 63:4.

For it is [the day] of the Lord's vengeance, and [the year] of recompences for
the controversy of Zion. Isaiah 34:8

To proclaim the acceptable [year of the Lord], and [the day of vengeance]
of our God; to comfort all that mourn; Isaiah61:2


For [the day] of vengeance is in mine heart, and [the year] of my redeemed
is come. Isaiah 63:4


-


the Great Tribulation is immediately followed by supernatural signs in heaven
(Matthew 24:21, 29). The signs in heaven are also referred to as the sixth seal
in Revelation (Revelation 6:12-14).


the seventh seal, which contains the seven trumpets, are opened -Revelation 8:1-6.
This time period of the seventh seal (which occurs immediately after the heavenly signs)
is called the Day of the Lord Acts 2:20.

20The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood,
before that great and notable day of the Lord come:


The wrath of the “day of the Lord” is manifested in the seven “trumpet” plagues
which are unleashed consecutively over a period of months, culminating in and
includes the Second Coming of Christ.


-


Woe unto you that desire the day of the Lord! to what end is it for you?
the day of the Lord is darkness, and not light.Amos 5:18


-

there is no verse in the bible that changes the holy Sabbath to sunday worship,
and the Lords day does not mean to worship on sunday.

They did not meet on the first day. Look at this verse in the KJV:
And he gave him the covenant of circumcision: and so [Abraham] begat Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day; and Isaac [begat] Jacob; and Jacob [begat] the twelve patriarchs. Acts 7:8 (KJV)
- - - Notice the words "eighth day". The Greek word for "day" in this verse is "hay-mer-ah". It is the right Greek word to use for "day". In the original Greek, hay-mer-ah is correctly used 196 times for the word "day". - - - Now, look at Acts 20:7 in the KJV. - - -
And upon the first [day] of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight. Acts 20:7 (KJV)
- - The word "day" is in brackets, or in the KJV, usually in italics. This means that the Greek word for day, hay-mer-ah, is not there at all. Interesting. Now look at the Greek word used for "week". It is "Sabbaton", which means Sabbath. So, the proper translation is this: "On the first Sabbath" or "On one Sabbath". Now, do you see what a little study brings to light?

And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment.
Luke 23:56 (KJV)

These are believers who actually heard Yeshua's teachings in person. Yet, they still observed the commandment. Did Yeshua forget to tell them that all days are alike?

27. All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.
