The day of worship for Christians is Sunday

I will be happy to clarify what "day of worship" means for the purpose of this debate. It is the day when Christians worship corporately. It's the day referred to in the Bible when Christ's followers/disciples met for "the breaking of the bread" or "came together to break bread". While it's true that we are to worship God every day privately, we worship corporately on Sunday. As for a day we are to be holy, that is every day too. There is no day when we're not supposed to be holy. As for the 40k Christian denominations, there is only one that can trace it's origins to the time of the Apostles. It is this one alone that has maintained the teachings handed on to them since the time of the Apostles. Therefore, it is to this group where we should look for the development. [1] I agree that all scripture is profitable, but that gets us back to the question of who decides the correct interpretation. Which takes us back to my "I never said you stole money.", and the importance of looking towards how the early Christians interpreted the Bible. AFFIRMATIVE CASE 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." [2] So here we see Christ's disciples coming together on the first day of the week (Sunday) to "break bread" and hear preaching. With this in mind, I assert this is clear biblical evidence that Sunday is the day of worship for Christians. HISTORY OF CHRISTIAN FORMAL WORSHIP As a matter of history, we know that the day of worship for Christians is Sunday/Lord's day: "107AD IGNATIUS: let every friend of Christ keep the Lord's Day as a festival, the resurrection-day, the queen and chief of all the days of the week. (Ignatius, Epistle to the Magnesians, chp 9. Ante-Nicene Fathers , vol. 1, pg. 62-63.) 130AD BARNABAS: Moreover God says to the Jews, 'Your new moons and Sabbaths 1 cannot endure.' You see how he says, 'The present Sabbaths are not acceptable to me, but the Sabbath which I have made in which, when I have rested [heaven: Heb 4] from all things, I will make the beginning of the eighth day which is the beginning of another world.' Wherefore we Christians keep the eighth day for joy, on which also Jesus arose from the dead and when he appeared ascended into heaven. (15:8f, The Epistle of Barnabas, 100 AD, Ante-Nicene Fathers , vol. 1, pg. 147) 150AD JUSTIN: But Sunday is the day on which we hold our common assembly, because it is the first day of the week and Jesus our saviour on the same day rose from the dead. (First apology of Justin, Ch 68) 150AD JUSTIN: And on the day called Sunday there is a gathering together in the same place of all who live in a city or a rural district. ... We all make our assembly in common on the day of the Sun, since it is the first day, on which God changed the darkness and matter and made the world, and Jesus Christ our Savior arose from the dead on the same day. For they crucified him on the day before Saturn's day, and on the day after (which is the day of the Sun the appeared to his apostles and taught his disciples these things. (Apology, 1, 67:1-3, 7; First Apology, 145 AD, Ante-Nicene Fathers , Vol. 1, pg. 186) 190AD CLEMENT OF ALEXANDRIA: He does the commandment according to the Gospel and keeps the Lord's day, whenever he puts away an evil mind . . . glorifying the Lord's resurrection in himself.
