WRONG.
The Early Church referred to Sunday as "The Lord's Day" . . .
From the 1st century document, The Didache (Teachings of the Twelve Apostles), which was written while most of them were still alive:
"But every LORD'S DAY gather yourselves together, and break bread, and give thanksgiving";
From Ignatius of Antioch's Letter to the Magnesians, written in about 107 AD. Ignatius was a disciple of the Apostle John:
"If, therefore, those who were brought up in the ancient order of things have come to the possession of a new hope, no longer observing the Sabbath, but living in the observance of THE LORD'S DAY, on which also our life has sprung up again by Him and by His death ..."
From Dionysius, Bishop of Corinth, we read in his Letter to the Roman Church (170 AD):
"Today we have kept THE LORD'S HOLY DAY (kyriake hagia hemera), on which we have read your letter."
Cyprian of Carthage from the Early 3rd century:
For because the eighth day, that is, the first day after the Sabbath, was to be that on which the Lord should rise again, and should quicken us, and give us circumcision of the spirit, the eighth day, that is the first day after the Sabbath, and THE LORD'S DAY, went before in the figure;
Once again - simple study of history slams the door SHUT on your lies because you're too lazy to do your homework . . .
And there you go lying again . . .
And I never said that bunny rabbits had anything to do with Easter. That's just a chap diversionary tactic of yours so that the attention is taken away from your woefully-ignorant comments about everything else. I did, however, give you a history lesson on the tradition of the painted Easter egg and it's very Christian origins.
It's probably better that you stop lying now because I'll just expose you every time you do . . .
Still not listening to me, I said I have a problem with anyone associating easter eggs and bunny rabbits with Easter if Easter we're truly about

In the Lord’s Day
The apostle Paul refers to the Lord's Day as a time of judgment and of fulfillment of divine promises. (
1 Corinthians 1:8; 2 Corinthians 1:14; Philippians 1:6, 10; 2:16) With the arrival of that “day,” Jehovah’s grand purposes move progressively toward their climax. That “day” begins with the crowning of Jesus as heavenly King. Even after Jesus executes judgment on Satan’s world, the Lord’s day continues, with the restoration of Paradise and the perfecting of mankind, until Jesus finally “hands over the kingdom to his God and Father.”—
1 Corinthians 15:24-26; Revelation 6:1, 2.
The fulfillment of other Bible prophecies helps us to see when the Lord’s day begins. For example, Daniel described a chopping down of rulership in the line of King David; after “seven times” it would be known “that the Most High is Ruler in the kingdom of mankind, and that to the one whom he wants to he gives it.” (
Daniel 4:23, 24, 31, 32) The major fulfillment of that prophecy started with the desolating of the kingdom of Judah, which is indicated by Bible evidence to have been completed by October 607 B.C.E. This is when the time of the gentiles began.
Revelation 12:6, 14 shows that 3 1/2 times amounts to 1,260 days; hence, seven times (twice that number) must be 2,520 days. Reckoning “a day for a year,” we arrive at 2,520 years as the duration of the “seven times.” (
Ezekiel 4:6) Therefore, Christ Jesus began his heavenly rule in the latter part of 1914. The erupting of the first world war in that year marked “a beginning of pangs of distress” that have continued to plague mankind. Since 1914, how remarkably events in this bloodstained earth have confirmed that year to be the start of the “day” of Jesus’ presence!—
Matthew 24:3-14.
Hence, this first vision and the counsel it contains are for the Lord’s day, from 1914 onward. This timing is supported by the fact that, later in Revelation, the record describes the execution of God’s true and righteous judgments—events in which the Lord Jesus plays an outstanding part. (
Revelation 11:18; 16:15; 17:1; 19:2, 11) If the fulfillment of the first vision began in 1914, when does it end? As the messages themselves show, the organization addressed is God’s congregation of anointed ones on earth. The fulfillment of this first vision ends, then, when the last faithful member of that anointed congregation dies and is raised to heavenly life. Nevertheless, the Lord’s Day, with blessings to the earthly other sheep, continues till the end of Jesus Christ’s Millennial Rule.—
John 10:16; Revelation 20:4, 5.
