It is a common belief that the RCC changed the worship service from the seventh day worship to the first day of the week. THAT IS NOT TRUE! God Himself changed the date.
It cannot be seen in the English Bible translations and why God allowed the miss-translation is beyond me. Perhaps to foster unbelief?
Matthew 28:1 reads: “In the end of the Sabbaths, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week...”
This first half of Matthew 28:1 is what we’ll focus upon.
The word Sabbath in Greek is the plural word “sabaton” and note the word “week” is also the identical plural Greek word “sabaton.” The word “week” is singular and contrary to the plural Greek word: sabaton.” This is proven by checking the Greek.
Anytime we see an italicized word in the KJV, as in the word “day” the translators are warning the reader that that word is not in the original manuscripts.
The phrase “in the end of the Sabbaths mean: an era of Sabbaths (Seventh Day Sabbath) is coming to an end, and the phrase “as it began to dawn toward the first of the Sabbaths" mean: a new era of Sabbaths, (Sunday Sabbaths), “in which the first of many Sabbaths is coming.”
Note: even in death God rested on the Seventh Day Sabbath as He lay in the tomb.
Let us now put together the first half of Matthew 28:1 and see how it should read: “In the end of the Sabbaths, as it began to dawn toward the first of the Sabbaths...” (underlined words for emphasis). We see now the first part of the passage makes sense.
The nature of the Seventh Day Sabbath was not to do any kind of work. By contrast, the Sunday Sabbath is to do work. "Spiritual work" that is. As God declared in Isaiah 58:13-14!
The work we are to do is: study the Bible, write letters to love ones about the Gospel, visit hospitals or prisons to share Gospel, attend service at church, give our tithes, and so forth.
Some Christians go to ball games, picnics, movies, or play sports on Sundays after worship, and these activities are against Isaiah 58:13-14.
There are aspects of salvation that can be seen in both the Saturday and Sunday Sabbaths of the Lord. I hope and pray this will be realized in this thread.
