1. The very first thing recorded in the Bible is work done on "Sunday", the 1st day of the week. (Genesis 1:1-5) This was done by the Creator Himself. If YHWH made the earth on the 1st day, can it be wrong for us to work on "Sunday"?
2. YHWH commands men to work upon the first day of the week. (Exodus 20:8-11)
3. None of the patriarchs ever kept it.
4. None of the holy prophets ever kept it.
5. By the express command of GOD, His holy people used the first day of the week as a common working day for 4,000 years, at least.
6. GOD Himself calls it a “working” day (Ezekiel 46:1)
7. YHWH did not rest upon it.
8. He never blessed it.
9. Yahshua did not rest upon it.
10. Yahshua was a carpenter (Mark 6:3), and worked at His trade until He was thirty years old. He kept the Sabbath and worked six days in the week, as all admit. Hence He did many a hard day’s work on the 1st day ("Sunday").
11. The Apostles worked upon it during the same time.
12. The apostles never rested upon it.
13. Yahshua never blessed it.
14. It has never been blessed by any divine authority.
15. It has never been sanctified.
16. No Law was ever given to enforce the keeping of it, hence it is not transgression to work upon it. “Where no law is, ether is no transgression.” Romans 4:15 (See also 1 John 3:4)
17. The New Testament nowhere forbids work to be done on it.
18. No penalty is provided for its violation.
19. No blessing is promised for its observance.
20. No regulation is given as to how it ought to be observed. Would this be so if the L-RD wished us to keep it?
21. It is never called the Christian Sabbath.
22. It is never called the Sabbath day at all.
23. It is never called the Lord’s day.
24. It is never called even a rest day.
25. No sacred title whatsoever is applied to it. Then why should we call it holy?
26. It is simply called “first day of the week”.
27. Yahshua never mentioned it in any way, never took its name upon His lips, so far as the record shows.
28. The word Sunday never occurs in the Bible at all.
29. Neither YHWH, Yahshua, nor inspired men ever said one word in favor of "Sunday" as a holy day.
30. The first day of the week is mentioned only eight times in all the New Testament. (Matthew 28:1; Mark 16:2, 9; Luke 24:1; John 20:1, 19; Acts 20:7; 1 Corinthians 16:2)
31. Six of these tests refer to the same first day of the week.
32. Paul directed the saints to look over their secular affairs on that day. (1 Corinthians 16:2)
33. In all the New Testament we have a record of only one religious meeting held upon that day, and even this was a night meeting. (Acts 20:5-12)
34. There is not an intimation that they ever held a meeting upon it before or after that.
35. It was not their custom to meet on that day.
36. There was no requirement to break bread on that day.
37. We have an account of only one instance in which it was done. (Acts 20:7)
38. That was done in the night – after midnight. (Verses 7-11) and the disciples sometimes did it every day (Acts 2:42-46).
39. The Bible nowhere says that the first day of the week commemorates the resurrection of Christ. This is a tradition of men, which contradicts the law of GOD. (Matthew 15:1-9) Baptism commemorates the burial and resurrection of Yahshua. (Romans 6:3-5)
40. Finally, the New Testament is totally silent with regard to any change of the Sabbath day or any sacredness for the first day.
The Sabbath Day has always been the Commandment of test. Yahshua said if you love me keep my Commandments. Regardless of what this pagan satanic generation says, we are to keep His Commandments and they are not do away with like some would have you to believe.
ROMANS 7:12
Wherefore the law [is] holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.
ISAIAH 8:20
To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, [it is] because [there is] no light in them.
MATTHEW 5:17
Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
MATTHEW 24:35
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
I JOHN 5:3
For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
JOHN 14:15
If ye love me, keep my commandments.
REVELATION 22:14
Blessed [are] they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
REVELATION 22:15
For without [are] dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
PSALMS 89:34
My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.

Very interesting! My church does meet on Sundays, so we observe (Kade, Tara & me) this day of rest. Phil's days off from work are not Sundays, tho...
thanks for this great list!
Hallelujah.
Yes, sister, preach it

Jewish believers regard the sabbath as a bridegroom. They sing of us, the bride and the sabbath, that comes, as the bridegroom.
Isn´t it great? ....!
