Good Wednesday or Good Friday?
#35
Hello Alan G77,
You have to be very careful when you explain something. Now you see that St. Paul doesn't mention that Lord's day is Sunday. When I explain something, I usually show several examples. Please understand that I don't use verses from the Bible for my own personal purposes. Before I enter into Hebrews 4:9, I will focus on your verses "Acts 20:7" and "1 Corinth 16-2."

Acts 20:7

This was actually explained by Andrew Roth long time ago. Here is a small explanation that I collected from Aramaic Scholar Andrew Roth.

"By our western reckoning, the timing of the breaking of bread was not even on Sunday! It is only by sloppily reading Acts 20:7 that it appears to be Sunday. The question is
though, how can this be when the text clearly says "first day of the week"?

The answer is that it was the first day of the week by Jewish standards, with the time being reckoned from sunset to sunset. By our western calendar though it was not Sunday, but late Saturday night. "Sunday" would not officially begin until midnight, the exact time that the text tells us Paul kept talking to his people! And so, what does that fact have to do with today's Christians getting up on the following morning and going to "church"? Absolutely nothing! Do Christians gauge their days sunset to sunset? Of course not! Do they have an after Shabbat meal and worship for the most part on Saturday evening? Not in the least! Therefore, there is no linkage.

Instead, what is going on is a time-honored Jewish tradition, an after Shabbat meal called havdilah, where people literally got together to break bread (Jeremiah 16:7). The apostles then were not instituting a new day of rest, but were simply following the ancient traditions of their ancestors. Funny thing though, I don't see many rabbis claiming that the breaking of bread in Jeremiah's day replaced Shabbat worship, do you?"

1 Corinthians 16-2

Here is an information I collected long time ago from a website. Here is the explanation on 1 Corinthians 16-2.

It must be noted that the keyword used in this verse is "first of sabbaths." Check Aramaic Peshitta or Greek Texts. The term "first of sabbaths" is used for the Feast of First Fruits, which is the beginning of the "week of weeks", or 7 weeks until Pentecost. Pentecost is after completion of 7 weekly Sabbaths (49 days). The "first of sabbaths" is just prior to Pentecost, since it is 49 days prior (1 Corinthians 16:8). This indicates a yearly feast day, and not a weekly occurrance.

It was during this time that a collection was taken up by Paul for those in Jerusalem, in accordance with Deuteronomy 16:9-11. It was on the "first of Sabbaths" (John 20:1) that Christ said "Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God." (John 20:17)

Yet later, on that very same day, Christ let his disciples inspect His wounds. (John 20:19-20) For just as the wave offering for the feast of First Fruits was made on the "morrow after the sabbath" (Leviticus 23:11), so was Christ presented to the Father as the perfect wave offering of the "first fruits from the dead." (1 Corinthians 15:20-23)

This is what happened on the Sunday after the Lord was resurrected, for there was not a change in the Sabbath day. Regardless, there is no commandment in the Bible that ever changed the Sabbath day to another day.

I only addressed one of your points in my previous posts, because my primary focus was on what Jesus Christ said.
