***Did you or someone else just make up this meeting on Sunday practice, or are you commanded to by Scripture ? ***

No sweat! The day Christ rose.

Now pay special attention to these two verses.

***Acts 20:7*** And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.

***1 Corinthians 16:2***
Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come.

So you see no connection, logical, symbolic, archetypal, or otherwise, between the Old Testament weekly Sabbath on the 7th day of every week, and your weekly Christian gathering on the 1st day of every week ?

I asked you if you are "commanded by Scripture" to meet on Sunday, and you said "No sweat!".

Just to confirm, are you agreeing that Christians are commanded by Scripture (God's Word) to worship God on Sunday ? Or is any meeting of Christians acceptable to God, with no particular format ?

For example, can Christians just meet for coffee on Sunday and satisfy this commandment of God ? What do you think the authoritative source is for guidance on these weekly meetings that are commanded of us by God ?

Are you familiar with this Bible verse:

Matthew 12:8 "For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day."

If Christ is the Lord of the Sabbath, do you suppose he could effect a change in it such that the Old Testament Sabbath of the 7th day of the week is replaced under his Covenant as the Christian Sabbath to be observed on the 1st day of the week ?
