1- But isn’t Sunday the Lord’s day?
The Bible (word of GOD) speaks of the “Lord’s day” in Revelation 1:10, so the Lord does have a special day. But NO verse of Scripture refers to Sunday as the Lord’s day. Rather, the Bible plainly identifies Sabbath as the Lord’s day. The only day ever blessed by the Lord or claimed by Him as His holy day is the seventh-day Sabbath.

So if the Bible doesn’t recognize Sunday as the “lords day” what man, organization or tradition, has the right to change God’s holy day, which by the way is still the 4th commandment, the Sabbath.

“Call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the Lord.” Isaiah 58:13. “For the son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.” Matthew 12:8.

2-Shouldn’t I keep Sunday in honor of Christ’s resurrection?

“Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.” Romans 6:3-6.

Answer: No! No more than you would keep Friday in honor of the crucifixion. Christ gave the ordinance of baptism in honor of His death, burial, and resurrection. The Bible never suggests Sundaykeeping in honor of the resurrection (or for any other reason, for that matter). We honor Christ by obeying Him (John 14:15)–not by substituting man-made requirements in place of His.

3-Isn’t it very dangerous to tamper with God’s law?

“Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish aught from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord your God.” Deuteronomy 4:2. “Every word of God is pure. … Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.” Proverbs 30:5, 6.

Answer: God has specifically and positively forbidden men to change His law by deletions or additions. To tamper with God’s holy law in any way is one of the most fearful and dangerous things a person can do.

I was a Catholic, I kept Sunday as the Lord’s day. Most of my family are also Catholic. Until I started to read the word of God (the Bible), which in my opinion is the only true guide man really has “All scripture is given by inspiration of God.” 2 Timothy 3:16, “Prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.” 2 Peter 1:21. “The scripture cannot be broken.” John 10:35.
In the Bible I’ve learned that their is only one worthy of my worship, and that is my creator, God. I don’t worship man or their traditions. Men that do not do God’s will, and do not obey God’s commandments, aren’t from God!
To turn away from Bible truth and true worship of the true God (2 Peter 3:17), mean to be one of the fallen!
It’s hard for people to accept anything different from what they’ve been told their whole life. I pray you to can think on your own, pick up the word of God (Bible) and make your own conclusions. God Bless!
