THE MAIN DISCUSSION HERE IS THE CASE FOR SUNDAY
It is based on the premise that Jesus (Yeshua) was risen (anestemi) on the first day of the week.
We have been discussing this issue in the English language but the original language that described the events of Jesus death and resurrection were written in: Koinonia Greek.
Jesus was born (came to Earth) a jew from the tribe of Juda. Not in Israel, that country was not in existence at the time.
He spoke Hebrew and Aramaic.
The description of the events that happened during that week (shabbaton) that tells us the story of His death and resurrection was written in Greek.
Scholars have taken the Textus Receptus as the bases for translation to other languages. (The Septuagint is a compendium of 70 writers)
So if we know something about the original language that gave this event to the world, why not review it. Those events of that week were not written originally in English, German, Chinese, Tagalog, Portuguese, Spanish, or any other language.
These events happened about 2,000 years ago and in Judea. The people there spoke Hebrew. But the New Testament (NT=Textus Receptus) was in Greek.
WHY GREEK, WE MAY ASK?
Because when the NT was written, the Greek language was spoken all around and it was a common denominator language. Thus the message of Jesus could spread easily and be understood by all those people living around that part of the world.
So knowing the original language of the written word and of the customs of the times is IMPORTANT.
WHY?
IT WILL MAKE THINGS EASIER TO UNDERSTAND BECAUSE WE ARE DOING IT IN ANOTHER LANGUAGE AND A LOT OF IDEAS AND MEANINGS HAVE BEEN LOST IN THE TRANSLATIONS
There is a saying in English:
Don't ever assume, because when you assume, you make an ass of you and me.
ASS U ME
When presenting something in any forum, in your own life, don't just bring it out of the air, back up your statements with inteligent answers. Back it up with words from the word of God. Scholars have said that the Bible explains itself. We just need to find the answers inside the word of God. It is HIS message.
Has anybody made a STRONG case for the Sunday?
The people of that time did not know what Sunday meant. They knew that there was a day of the week called: first day of week. So they were not paying homage to any other gods and they did the same thing with the other days. The last day was called "shabbat=sabbath", in their language. We call it now with the word "Saturday." And this word pays homage to Saturn, a pagan custom. Paying homage to the creation and not the Creator.
I believe that there are several posters here waiting to see a STRONG presentation in favor of "THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK", not Sunday.
IS IT CLEAR NOW?
