Every Christian knows Jesus rose on Easter Sunday, which the bible refers to as the "first day of the week." The Jews have kept Saturday for thousands of years, so we know there's been no interruption in the days of the week. Whole weeks have been removed from the calendar throughout history, but the seven day weekly cycle has never been interrupted, which to me is evidence of the existence of God, and his protecting that which he called holy. The Sabbath isn't Jewish, because it was started in the Garden of Eden, AND is in the 10 commandments.
So there's no arguing that what most Christians call "The Lord's Day" is Sunday, the first day of the week.
I took a Strong's concordance and studied every occurrence of "first day of the week" and "sabbath" and all I could come up with were verses about Jesus and the disciples going to synagogue on Saturday, the Sabbath. Even after Jesus died, in Acts, they went to synagogue on Saturday
WHY then is Sunday called "The Lord's Day"?
