The Bible Does not teach that Sunday or Saturday is the Lord's Day, but that this Day is yet to Come

According to Col 2:14 "the handwriting of ordinances" was blotted out, nailed to the cross. The fourth commandment was indeed an order, a rule, a law, made by the government of heaven, made by an authority (God) to rest on the seventh day, therefore, it surely was an ordinance. Because such ordinances were abolished, Christians are to let no one judge them regarding festivals, new moons, or Sabbaths. (Col 2:16-17) If such ordinances were binding on believers, they could rightly be judged by elders in the church about not observing them, or not observing them correctly. The mere fact they are not to be judged in such matters shows they are not binding, as the text says in verse 17, these are "a shadow of things to come." The Sabbath was one of the many shadows that found fulfillment in Christ and is thus no longer necessary. Eph 2:15 "Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments." The law of commandments has been abolished, that would include the Sabbath. Hence, Rom 14:5 says, "One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let each man be fully persuaded in his own mind." So the observance of days is a personal choice left up to preference, but this wouldn't be the case if one day were holy and others were not. The Bible does teach the end of the law of Moses with its Sabbath requirement at Hebrews 8:13 which speaks of the old covenant as vanishing away. What is the old covenant? "And he wrote upon the tablets the words of the covenant, the ten commandments." (Exo 34:28) What's more, the Sabbath is never identified as being the Lord's day in the Bible, but the time of Christ's coming is indeed identified as his day, for it itself is called "the day of the Lord." (2 Pet 3:10; 1 Cor 1:8; 1 Thess 5:2) The Lord's day is therefore a future event and not part of a weekly cycle. At Hebrews 4:4-6, Paul quotes Genesis 2:2 and shows that God's creation rest is another rest distinct from the weekly Sabbath, saying, "Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached ENTERED NOT in because of unbelief." (Hebrews 4:6) Notice Paul says that the Israelites ENTERED NOT into God's rest because of unbelief. The Israelites did indeed keep the weekly Sabbath, as Exodus 16:30 says, "So the people rested on the seventh day." If they didn't keep it, they would have been stoned to death. (Numbers 15:32-36) While they did keep the weekly Sabbath, they did not enter into God's creation rest. So here is the distinction, one rest they entered, the other rest they did not. Notice also that God's creation rest is not a weekly experience, but a "Today" experience. "Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, Today, after so long a time; as it is said, Today if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts. [Psalm 95:7-8]" (Hebrews 4:7) After such a long time since God entered his rest at the end of creation, God was still resting. There is no Biblical record that God began working for another six days, or that God works every six days of every week and stops working at sunset. In fact, this would be ridiculous since the sun sets at different times in each time zone, so which sunset would God be following anyway? So it is quite obvious that since God rested from his creative works, that he continues to rest, and the opportunity to enter that rest has been open from the time of Israel, for it was FIRST preach to them (Hebrews 4:6), and in David's time people were still offered to enter into it. (Psalm 95) At the conclusion of each of the creative days there is the statement, "And the evening and the morning were" the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth day, indicating that they ended. (Genesis 1:5, 8, 13, 19, 23, 31) This statement is not made concerning the seventh day indicating that it continued. Hence, from God's standpoint, his rest day is still continuing, and he calls it "Today" in Hebrews 4:7; after so long a time it was still "Today," as Paul says, "But exhort one another daily, while it is called Today; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin." (Hebrews 4:13) Everyday is called "Today," hence he says, daily, WHILE it is called "Today." How much more plainly could he say that this is a "today" experience and not a weekly ritual? My opponent cites Deu 5:12, but doesn't mention verse 15. Here we learn the reason the Sabbath was given, to commemorate Israel's deliverance from Egypt. Christians have never been slaves in Egypt. This command was only given to the nation of Israel and isn't binding on the rest of us. (Ps 147:19-20) My opponent claims "The Sabbath… is, however, often called "The Lord's Day" by the church, sharing the same name as "The Day of the Lord", or "The Day Of Judgment."" I wonder which denomination he means when he says "the church"? Certainly not the one the early church fathers like Barnabas, Ignatius, Tertullian, Justin Martyr, and so on belonged to, for these thought that the 1st day was the Lord's day. But the question isn't "what do some denominations say is the Lord's day?" but "what does the Bible say" is the Lord's day? The time of judgment and Christ's coming is called "day of the Lord," never is the Sabbath called by this or similar terms. Con is also off based when he claims that the time of Christ's coming is never called "the Lord's day," it is, at Rev 1:10. Notice John was "in the Spirit." It was by divine revelation John was in this future time beholding events yet to happen such as the coming of Jesus on the clouds (Rev 1:7) and many other things. .Nothing in the context of Revelation 1:10 mentions the Sabbath or Sunday, but it does mention the coming of Christ which will bring about all the destruction of the ungodly as promised in all the other "day of the Lord passages," and this coming will be "as a thief" as in all the other day of the Lord passages. . (2 Peter 3:10; Joel 2:31; Zephaniah 1:14-18; 1 Thess 5:2; Isa 2:12; Eze 30:3-4; Zechariah 14:1-4) Common sense dictates that "the day of the Lord," linguistically speaking, means "the Lord's day."
