Adventists have no way of denying that the Foundation of the Christian Church occurred on "the Day after the Sabbath." All they can do is lie about it.
They have no way of denying that Jesus Christ was NEVER, EVER worshiped on the Sabbath. All they can do is lie about it. NOWHERE does the Bible state that Jesus "rested" on the Sabbath or "kept the Sabbath." He was accused six times of breaking it.
They have no way of denying that Jesus Christ was worshiped on Resurrection Day on "the day after the Sabbath" and the following week. All they can do is lie about it.
Adventism is a baseless hoax and conspiracy theory, dreamed up by a masturbation-obsessed mentally ill madwoman who flunked out of the third grade 1674688304450.png

Remember the seventh day to keep it holy. Exodus 20:8
SDAs reject the God given OT Sabbath law to make up their own set of Sabbath rules based on who is watching them.
From another group,
1. No work done at all (Ex. 20: 10; Lev. 23: 3; Jer. 17:21-22). No watering the lawn, no working in the yard, no hobbies, no surfing, no fixing flat tires, etc. By law if a person did not stop all types of activity in honor of the Sabbath, he was breaking the law. In Numbers 15:32-36 a man was caught collecting sticks on the Sabbath, and he received a rock concert from the people he knew.
2 No kindling of a fire (Ex. 35:3). No fellowship cookouts or barbecues. You can't go into a restaurant and get a hamburger that's been flame broiled, you can't cook eggs, or pancakes in the morning because you'd be kindling a fire for cooking. To drive a car would be to "kindle a fire" In the combustion chamber of your engine.
3. No traveling (Ex. 16:29). Later the Jews added to this law, allowing only a half mile of travel on the Sabbath which we see observed in the NT. But the pure law says "stay at home." Actually, If you kept this part of the law, you could not travel to your church gathering unless it was less than one-quarter mile away from home. If you had an emergency you could not drive to the hospital.
4. No trading (Amos 8:5). If you happened to need gas to get to church service, you could not "trade" money for gasoline. You would not be allowed to buy a cassette tape of that morning's message or a book at the store. There is to be No exchanging of money for goods. If you worked with stocks and you needed to sell you couldn’t.
5. No marketing (Neh. 10:31; 13:15,19). Make sure you do no shopping whatsoever. You can't buy any ice cream for dessert after dinner or anything else. If you run out of food or drink at home you can’t go out to purchase any, you can’t even by a stick of gum.
6."... a holy assembly with double the daily offering along with the other offerings. In other words, you are to give twice as much on the Sabbath (Num. 28:9).Do we practiced this today In compliance with Old Testament law. Do Sabbatarian's really practice the law? I have yet to see people go to Shabbat and give twice as much each week.
7. New showbread In the holy place (Lev. 24:8). Of course this cannot be done today since there is no temple, so this part of the Sabbath cannot be followed by the church. The fact Is the Sabbath was not made for the gentiles, but for the Jews and their generations Ex. 31:12-17). It's a law given between God and the Jews.
8.The last part of the requirements for keeping the Sabbath day law Is the penalty for breaking It. DEATH 1674688369126.png

There is much evidence in the Bible and elsewhere that the early Christians met and worshiped on the first day rather than on the sabbath.
On the first day Jesus rose from the dead (Mk. 16:9).
On the first day Jesus first appeared to his disciples (Mk. 16:9).
On the first day Jesus met with the disciples at different places (Mk. 16:9-11; Mt. 28:8-10; Lk. 24:34; Mk. 16:12-13; Jn. 20:19-23).
On the first day Jesus blessed the disciples (Jn. 20:19).
On the first day Jesus imparted to the disciples the gift of the Holy Spirit (Jn. 20:22).
On the first day Jesus commissioned the disciples to preach the gospel (Jn. 20:21; with Mk. 16:9-15).
On the first day Jesus ascended to Heaven, was seated at the right hand of the Father, and was made Head of all (Jn. 20:17; Eph. 1:20).
On the first day the gospel of the risen Christ was first preached (Lk. 24:34).
On the first day Jesus explained the Scriptures to the disciples (Lk. 24:27, 45).
On the first day the Holy Spirit descended (Acts 2:1). Pentecost was on the 50th day after the sabbath following the wave offering (Le. 23:15-16). Thus, Pentecost was always on a Sunday.
The Christians met to worship on the first day (Acts 20:6-7; 1 Cor. 16:2).
Since those days, the vast majority of Christians have met to worship on the first day of the week. They do this in honor of the resurrection of their Savior. Christ was in the tomb on the sabbath and rose as the firstborn from the dead on the first day. The sabbath signifies the last day of the old creation (Gen. 2:2). Sunday is the first day of the new creation.

23 Reasons why the first day of the week, Sunday is important to Christians, but is NOT the Christian Sabbath. It is a 'significant day' but not a HOLY day. There is NONE holy but God!!
Reasons for the significance of the first day of the week (Sunday) in the New Testament for Christians:
1. Jesus rose on the first day of the week not the Sabbath: Mk 16:9
2. All 6 appearances of Jesus with believers after the resurrection happened on Sundays, none on the Sabbath. Mk 16:9; Mt 28:5-9; Lk 24:34; Lk 24:13-15; Lk 24:33,36 + Jn 20:19; Jn 20:26
3. Christians are recorded assembling three time's on Sunday, after the resurrection and before ascension, never not even once on the Sabbath. Jn 20:19 Jn 20:26, Acts 2:1 (I do not claim that these were worship services, just the starting point of getting together on Sunday's)
4. The only time Christians are recorded to have assembled together was on a Sunday in Acts 20:7, never does it say the disciples assembled exclusively as Christians on the Sabbath for worship.
5. The Christians broke bread also on the eve of the first day not the Sabbath: Acts 20:7
6. Christians are commanded EVERY Sunday to give into a common treasury of the church: 1 Cor 16:1-2
7. Jesus was declared the Son of God on Sunday: Rom 1:4
8. Ps 2:7 "Today I have begotten thee" was fulfilled on Sunday when he rose: Acts 13:33
9. The sign that Jesus was glorified was given on Sunday: Jn 7:39 + Acts 2:1,32
10. The church officially began on Pentecost Sunday: Acts 2:1
11. Jesus was crowned king on a Sunday: Acts 2:33-36
12. The disciples reception of the promise of the Father was on Sunday: Acts 1:4-5; 2:1-4
13. The Holy Spirit first fell upon the apostles on a Sunday: Acts 2:1-4
14. Salvation was first preached by Peter on Sunday: Mt 16:19; Acts 2:1,38,40-41
15. The Keys to the Kingdom of God were first used on Sunday: Mt 16:19
16. The great "Triumphal entry" (also called "Palm Sunday") happened on the first day: Luke 13:32
17. The time between the Lord's resurrection (sheaf waving day) and Pentecost was Sunday to Sunday counting of 50 days. The starting and stopping time was on the 1st day.
18. First time Jesus was worshipped after the resurrection was on sunday, the first day of the week by Thomas (Jn. 20:26).
19. The first time we could be born again to a living hope was on a Sunday: 1 Pet. 1:3
20. The first time Jesus had communion after his resurrection with His disciples, was on a Sunday: (Lk. 24:1, 13, 28-35)
21. Pentecost was a Sunday - Sunday duration of 50 days. The starting point and stopping point of counting the 50 days was a Sunday - Sunday period!
22. Jesus said we should find our rest in Him and we could do it from Sunday when He rose from the dead. Mat. 11:28 And Christians did it every day onwards from that Sunday till now.
23. THE NEW DAY OF THE LORD THAT WE SHOULD REJOICE AND BE GLAD IN, IN PS 118:22-25 CAME INTO BEING WHEN JESUS HAD RISEN FROM THE DEAD AND IT ALSO HAPPENED ON A SUNDAY!!! The old sabbath laws were abolished Col.2

Reasons for the significance of the first day of the week (Sunday) in the New Testament for Christians:
1. Jesus rose on the first day of the week not the Sabbath: Mk 16:9
1. Jesus rose on the first day because he rested on the seventh
2. All 6 appearances of Jesus with believers after the resurrection happened on Sundays, none on the Sabbath. Mk 16:9; Mt 28:5-9; Lk 24:34; Lk 24:13-15; Lk 24:33,36 + Jn 20:19; Jn 20:26
2. Jesus appeared/ spent 40 days with his mates after the resurrection. Does that make each day a Sabbath?
3. Christians are recorded assembling three time's on Sunday, after the resurrection and before ascension, never not even once on the Sabbath. Jn 20:19 Jn 20:26, Acts 2:1 (I do not claim that these were worship services, just the starting point of getting together on Sunday's)
3. Gathering any particular day does not give that day sanctity.
4. The only time Christians are recorded to have assembled together was on a Sunday in Acts 20:7, never does it say the disciples assembled exclusively as Christians on the Sabbath for worship.
4. So what?
5. The Christians broke bread also on the eve of the first day not the Sabbath: Acts 20:7
5. So what?
6. Christians are commanded EVERY Sunday to give into a common treasury of the church: 1 Cor 16:1-2
6. So what?....and giving on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday etc are wrong days to give?
7. Jesus was declared the Son of God on Sunday: Rom 1:4
7. As if a declaration validates a day? If it validates anything it was his victory over death!
8. Ps 2:7 "Today I have begotten thee" was fulfilled on Sunday when he rose: Acts 13:33
8. Desperation to make the glove fit is just that, desperation!
9. The sign that Jesus was glorified was given on Sunday: Jn 7:39 + Acts 2:1,32
9. He rested on the Sabbath.
10. The church officially began on Pentecost Sunday: Acts 2:1

19. Life has hope, desperation has no hope only empty words.
20. The first time Jesus had communion after his resurrection with His disciples, was on a Sunday: (Lk. 24:1, 13, 28-35)
20. Really?....in celebration of?

Actually it was Paul who said the sabbaths and holy days are merely SHADOWS. The reality is Christ Himself (Col 2:16,17). Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath [days]: Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.

The issue of sabbath observance was already an issue while Paul was earth. But Paul knew that the first day of the week was "THE LORD'S DAY". That is why he honored it in Troas. Check it out for yourself.
You know as well as I do Enoch, that the sabbath days referenced here are the many ceremonial sabbaths in the Hebrew calendar, yet you insist on making it mean the 7th day Sabbath. Doing this is akin to justifying coveting by claiming the Law is done away with.....and if you want to stretch it you can include all of the other ten with that logic.
