Mark 16:1-4
16:1 And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him.
2 And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun.
3 And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre?
4 And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great.
KJV
That also reveals that is was on Sunday, the first day of the week, when they came to His tomb.

can you answer the two questions.
I am not trying to argue with you, but hope you can see why the adversary wants us to gather on Sun-day and not the real Sabbath.
Why did he trick us with pagan xmas and pagan easter and take us away from God's very own Holy Days?
Why does he not want us to use the real name of God, or the real name of His Son, but tricked us with fake names?

NONE of these scriptures say what people THINK they say.
Acts 20v7
the disciples came together to break bread....EAT a meal, v11 when Paul returned to the table and broken bread and eaten and talked a long while until morning, then departed. It was a 'social gathering AFTER the official Sabbath.
1Cor 16v2
Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him 'in store that there be no GATHERING when I come, ref to 'field/garden produce - not money. Paul was to send men incl himself if necessary to take this harvested Produce to the starving Saints (famine) in Jerusalem. It would not take 3 men to take a purse of money....which could have been 'collected at Sabbath-service.
Joh 20v19
The first day of the week was not the first time Jesus saw his disciples after he was risen. Study the scriptures !

Obviously christians did NOT stick to scripture but paid more attention to what the Jews were doing !
What was to stop them starting their own SABBATH service ??? Their hatred of Jews got the better of them so they set up with help from UNgodly men their own sunday-worship day. They certainly were not inspired by God but 'selfwill and hatred ! still in evidence today !

Do you realize there are other Sabbaths beside the weekly ones ? esp around the time of Passover ?
true, on sunday the women went to the tomb, on sunday Jesus was seen....but none of these tell us when He had risen, which OBVIOUSLY must have been BEFORE He was seen or found gone from the tomb Mk 16 and would be the 'exact time of His resurrection !

It's impossible for everyone to take a day of rest on Saturday, or any specific day on the same day. There's thing called life where things happens that are out of our control. I mean, you yourself have even posted on here on a Saturday. Or have gone to get some gas or buy some food on a Sabbath. Those things equate to people working, which you are supporting. In turn, according to your logic, you're supporting sin.

It is very difficult in 'this day and age to keep the Sabbath as we should because the way Society has developed over hundreds/thousands of years IGNORING/REJECTING GOD's Holy Day ! All systems are geared for Weekend pleasure, esp the Sabbath.
However---it is still possible to 'agree with God in Spirit' and have our faults forgiven when we fall short Joh 4v23,24. And also we can do many 'good works on the Sabbath !
What God is against is man's 'downright/deliberate rejection of HIS holy Days.

He arose with a new temporal incorruptible body on Sunday, the dawning of the new age as a era of Sabbaths (plural) the first day of the week to represent the new creation.
Act 20:7 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.
Remember, the word day is not there in the Greek as well as the word week .
For some reason the paraphrasers changed the plural form of Sabbaths into the word week .
First, the Jews of antiquity had no names for the days of the week or did they use the word week ., except for the sixth and seventh days. The seventh day, of course, was called the Sabbath (shabbat or sabbaton in Hebrew and Greek, respectively).
A better paraphrase I believe would have been and upon the order of dawning or the first of the new era of Sabbaths, when the disciples came together to break bread. The word Sabbath is plural.
Christ in respect to the promise came to fulfil the shadows of the ceremonial laws the pointed back to the rest we do have from the standpoint of creation. This is when Christ in God performed the work when he was working.. It in Acts 20 was the time of reformation/restoration. The new orders anticipated the literal rest we will receive in the new heavens and earth. Then there will be no dying .The former things of here will not be remembered or ever come to mind forever and ever.
"The words are “heart of the earth” and not "tomb" even though the tomb was part of it. Heart of the earth represents an invisible affliction of suffering in His Spirit. Knowing God who is eternal Spirit cannot die. He uses an example of Jonah who was alive suffering as a tribulation the Spirit of God named hell .Belly of hell represent the suffering of one living. The tomb those dead.
Jon 2:2 And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the LORD, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, and thou heardest my voice.
Mat 12:40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the “heart of the earth”.
God uses the word three to indicate the end of a matter. The tribulation as an invisible affliction began in the garden as the Son of man cried out His Spirit not seen, as if it was blood take away the wrath that was intended for the believer.. And out of that tribulation of crying to the father... take the cup of suffering from the Son of man, the father replied and sent him messengers to strengthen Jesus.
The literal tomb came into play after Christ willfully of his own according gave up the Spirit then it became part of the phrase” heart of the earth”. Hell simply means suffering as a tribulation not a literal location but rather a work of faith.

The first day of the week (Sunday) is when they met, and when Paul (with others) came to pick up their alms givings. They met on that day because it was forbidden on the sabbath to do work, so yes... they still honored the sabbath the orthodox Jews kept. But Sunday became the day of coming together for the disciples to worship Christ, and that is where and when the Sunday worship tradition started. It did not start in Rome, nor was it determined by Rome.
Like I said... We live in this thing called life. Stuff happens. Something like being all out of diapers for a baby. Something like a crime. Something like a tropical storm. Is a parent really supposed to say to his/her spouse "Sorry, honey, but today is the Sabbath. The baby's just going to have to try and not go in the diaper." If someone is injured is the person not supposed to call 911 because it's the Sabbath? And finally, most of Florida is in a state of emergency due to the tropical storm. If it were a Saturday and the storm was hitting on a Sunday and I had no supplies to protect my house, am I supposed to just say "Well, golly. I know I should prepare for this storm, that just happened to take a redirection and I haven't had time to do so earlier in the week, but with it being the Sabbath I guess I should just risk my home being taken a part." There's a reason why I don't follow legalism. Jesus put it on the cross. If you like being all legalistic go right ahead, but don't try to condemn others for not following your traditions. That's very Pharisee like. I'll take common sense every day of the week, something that God gave us, by the way.
