Sabbath (Saturday) is the Lord's Day Exodus 20:8, Isa 58:13,14, Matthew 12:8, Mark 2:28, Luke 6:5
Acts 20:7 says that they "broke bread" on the first day and . But if they read Acts chapter 2 it says they broke bread everyday, so does that mean every day is the new day of worship? There are 7 verses where Jesus kept the Sabbath, 6 obvious verses where the early church (Apostles, Jews AND the GENTILES) met on Sabbath to worship compared to only one ambiguous text for Sunday. The weight of the evidence is for Sabbath (Saturday) worship.
Rom 14:5 One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
Rom 14:6 He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.
If you look ate the book of Zechariah you see what Paul was talking about
Then came the word of the LORD of hosts unto me, saying, Speak unto all the people of the land, and to the priests, saying, When ye fasted and mourned in the fifth and seventh month, even those seventy years, did ye at all fast unto me, even to me? And when ye did eat, and when ye did drink, did not ye eat for yourselves, and drink for yourselves? Zechariah 7:4,5
Paul is talking about observing days of Fasts
Let’s think about this is Paul telling people to violate the commandments if Paul had said Rom 14:6 He that steals, steals unto the Lord; and he that steals not, to the Lord he doth not steal.
People would say "That’s crazy you can't steal that’s a moral law, Paul must mean something else." Many people justify breaking the Sabbath because they view all the other laws as more important, and the Sabbath as a minor law. But God sees it differently, under the Mosaic law the penalty for theft was you had to make restitution, but if you broke the Sabbath you would be killed which one seems more important to God?
I Corinthians 16:2 “Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come.”?
1)This verse says nothing about worship. What it is talking about is collecting money to distribute for the famine in Jerusalem (Acts 11:28-30, I Corinthians 16:3)
2) If Paul doesn't want collections to be taken when he comes to worship why does he say collect it on Sunday
3) If we look at Acts 18 Paul went to Corinth to build the Church
Acts 18:4 And he reasoned in the synagogue EVERY Sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks.
Acts 18:11 And he continued there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
That is 72 Sabbaths.
Colossians 2:16 is referring to ceremonial Sabbath days and festivals Colossians 2:14, read in context.
kuriakos- from kurios; belonging to the Lord (Jehovah or Jesus)
Lord's.
see GREEK kurios
kuriakos in Revelation 1:10 is a possessive form of the word kurios which is used 3 times by Jesus referring to the Sabbath - Matthew 12:8, Mark 2:28, Luke 6:5

It is not stated in this verse and chapter that the Lord's day is Sunday nor is it stated here that the Lord's day is the first day of the week.
Our understanding of the Lord's Day comes from other scriptural reference and early church writings.
Scriptures that mention the Lord's Day or assemblies on the first day of the week include:
1. Acts 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."
2.1 Cor. 16:1, 2, where not only the apostolic practice but also a precept is introduced: "Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, even so do ye. Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come.
References to the Lord's Day outside of the Scriptures can be found here: http://www.new-life.net/sunday.htm
The most scholarly work to date on this topic is Henry Sturcke's "Encountering the Rest of God" -- a review can be found here: http://www.bookreviews.org/pdf/5043_5313.pdf
Sturcke shows that the diversity of beliefs and practices in
ancient Christianity does not allow for the general statement that most early Christians observed the Sabbath (seventh day).

The Lord's Day was the day that our Lord Jesus Christ arose from the dead and ascended to the Father and later that evening met the disciples who were behind locked doors. Friday, Saturday and I would assume that the next day was Sunday and that was the day he arose and therefore is the day called the Lord's Day.
John 20:1 Early Sunday while it was still dark Mary Magdalene came to the tomb. v 15 she speaks with Jesus v 16 He tells her to go tell the disciples. v 19 That evening,(Sunday),( for she went early Sunday), the disciples were behind locked doors in fear of Jewish leaders, when suddenly Jesus was standing among them.
Colossians 2: 16 "So don't let anyone criticize you for what you eat or drink, or for not celebrating Jewish holidays and feasts or new moon ceremonies or Sabbaths. 17 For these were only temporary rules that ended when Christ came. They were only shadows of the real thing --of Christ himself.
The people of Islam would love for Christians to be at each others throats. If it could be that we would nit pick each other into hell they would love it. It would save them a lot of trouble in trying to annihilate us. For Sabbath Dayers and Lord's Dayers--Serve the Lord with gladness and enter his courts in praise. You should go to the church where YOU can best serve the LORD. WE are to SERVE the LORD and not the day.
I know a woman who goes to The Church of Christ and because the Bible has the line "The Churches of Christ salute you" then in her opinion unless Your church says Church of Christ then you are going to hell.
Genesis 2: 1 Now at last the heavens and earth were successfully completed, with all that they contained. 2 So on the seventh day,( it doesn't say Sabbath) having finished his task, God ceased from this work he had been doing, 3 and God blessed the seventh day and declared it holy, because it was the day when he ceased this work of creation.

It doesn't. Why try to start an argument? The believers started meeting on Sunday to honor the resurrection, but the Jews still observed the Sabbath also, almost all of the new Christians were Jews at the beginning, .
If you were really a pastor, you would know that Colossians 2:16 says "Do not let ANYONE judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to religious festivals, or new moons, or Sabbath Days"

After the ascension of Christ, the members of the Church, whether Jews or gentiles, kept holy the first day of the week (the Lord's day) as a weekly commemoration of our Lord's resurrection (Acts 20:7; 1 Cor. 16:2; Rev. 1:10); and by degrees the observance of the seventh day was discontinued.

"One person esteems one day above another; another esteems every day alike. Let each be fully convinced in his own mind. He who observes the day, observes it to the Lord; and he who does not observe the day, to the Lord he does not observe it" (Romans 14:5–6a).
"But now after you have known God, or rather are known by God, how is it that you turn again to the weak and beggarly elements, to which you desire again to be in bondage? You observe days and months and seasons and years" (Galatians 4:9–10).
If you like Sundays, go on Sundays.
If you prefer Saturdays, go on Saturdays.
Worship Him every day.
I go when I go because it is an agreed time and place for the assembling of the saints.
Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some [is]; but exhorting [one another]: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

In John 20:19 it speaks of the disciples coming together on the first day of the week , 1st Corinthians 16:2 it speaks of tithing on the first day . Jesus rose from the dead on the first day of the week and reappeared to His disciples on the first day of the week . Also Acts 20:7

"The Lord's day".
A technical term for the first day of the week--so named because Jesus rose from the dead on that day. It was also the day on which the Christians met (Acts.20:7) and took up collections (1Cor.16:2).

Lord's day is whatever day we want. if your talking about the sabbath - then technically speaking its the last day of the week which would fall on a saturday rather then sunday. however days were invented AFTER god had rested the main point is that we set a day aside for God, doesnt matter the day its just that we make time for him.

expensive mr Mohammad ok salam for you. somebody who's rejecting Allah Almighty's revelation on the day of judgement skill that he/she is fafr so he/she would manage to be sent to jahanam(hell) and be tortured. Rejecting revelation is an identical with rejecting all prophets and Allah's messengers and likewise all holy books given with the help of Allah. Allah appointed prophets and messenger and gave them revelations.The holy books zabur,taurat,injil or bible and qur'an have been given with the help of Allah by revelations.
