Boo boo, this is just wrong. The early Christians did not start meeting on Sunday. That is just false. Show one verse where the believers were meeting on the first day of the week for service instead of the Sabbath.
When you start looking at those who followed afterward, you cannot include them. They were all anti-semitic. G-d never declared nor any of His disciples, nor Paul, that one should start meeting on Sunday. G-d declared the Sabbath to be on the 7th day and man changed it to the 1st. Man should not and cannot change G-d's commandments.
I presented bible verses, I presented early writings from early church father. Burden is on your side. See link- tell me where the church is wrong? Catholic Answers- Sabbath or Sunday You are mistaken if you think the change happened in 300s. It was from beginning.
As I see it, your antisemitic claim is a tactic to ignore the overwhelming evidence. Was there conflict between Jews and Early Christians, many who were Jewish? Answer- you bet- see Saul (Paul) who helped kill/ apprehend early Christians, who then turned Christian (was viewed as a traitor to Jewish faith) who was later stoned, himself. That would tend to cause friction.
You and I both know- that Jesus claiming to be God is considered Blasphemy. And the response from Jewish community would not be positive.
Yes you presented verses and I refuted a couple of them. You totally took them out of context. So lets go through them all. I believe the burden is on you, since following Torah was the way from the beginning and you are the one stating there is a change. Therefore the burden is actually on those who claim something changed.
Before I get to the verses I will address your other points. You claim that the Jewish community did not respond well to Yeshua claiming to be G-d. Yes, there were some, but you are ignoring the large number that accepted Him as the savior.
Acts 6:7 - The word of God kept on spreading; and the number of the disciples continued to increase greatly in Jerusalem, and a great many of the priests were becoming obedient to the faith.For the most part, the first 10-17 years after the death of Yeshua, Gentiles played a very small part. Not much is said about them converting. So to infer that Jews did not accept Yeshua is just ignorant of the texts.
Acts 20:7 - On the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread, Paul began talking to them, intending to leave the next day, and he prolonged his message until midnight.Besides the mia sabbaton which should be translated as one Sabbath, this verse says they gathered to break bread...that means eat. From a Jewish context they were more than likely celebrating Havdalah the end of the Sabbath. So they got together to eat and Paul spoke. This does nothing to insinuate that they were meeting to worship on the first day of the week. Any attempt to state it is, is just ignoring the plain text.
1 Corinthians 16:2 - On the first day of every week each one of you is to put aside and save, as he may prosper, so that no collections be made when I come.Again, this verse uses mia sabbaton which should be translated one Sabbath. Besides that, this verse says absolutely nothing about getting together to worship. This verse says nothing about moving the Sabbath to Sunday.
Colossians 2:16-17 - Again you are ignoring the context of what Paul is stating. This whole chapter is about not following the teachings of men, which is exactly what the church does.
v8 - See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the world, rather than according to Christ.So men where coming in and teaching the people to follow their gnostic behavior. Self-debasing themselves, worshiping angels (v18). If you participated in the Shabbat and the other festivals then you certainly were not self-debasing yourself. One enjoys good food, wine, and celebrate G-d's dress rehearsals (which 3 of them have yet to occur) for us. Paul was stating don't let those who are teaching the tradition of men to judge you for following the festivals.
Revelation 1:10 - I was in the Spirit on the L-rd's day, and I heard behind me a loud voice like the sound of a trumpet
This has got to be the biggest joke in the world that people believe this is speaking about Sunday. For one, no where in Scripture is Sunday called the L-rd's day. No where. Inferring that this is speaking about Sunday has zero, zilch, nada support. The L-rd's day throughout Scripture is speaking about the day of the L-rd, which makes sense coming in Revelation which speaks about the end times.
Again, the burden is on you. Not one of the verses above state the Sabbath is moved to Sunday. Not of the verses above shows them in a "service". There are many verses that shows Paul speaking in synagogues to both Jews and Gentiles. There are verses that show Paul would come back the next Shabbat, not the next day, to speak again. Again, there is zero support that Paul (who said he followed Torah for he called himself a Pharisee) or anyone else taught to move the Sabbath.
