Excerpt from The Lord's Day, or Man's?: A Public Discussion Between Byron Sunderland, D. D., And W. A. Croffut, Ph. D., At Washington, D. C., As Reported in the Washington Daily Post From January 27 to April 17, 1896
But if it can be established that the Old Testament is Inspired, and that the seventh day was sanctified by Jehovah, how is it that Christians pay no regard to the seventh day? By what authority has the first day of the week been substituted for the seventh? God did not rest on the first day. That is the day he began to work. Neither is it pretended that God delivered the Jews from the Egyptians on the first day - that was on the seventh, according to the Bible.
When was the change made? There is no evidence. So far as I know, that Christ or his early disciples Changed the day from the seventh to the first. The day seems to have been designated by Constantine. He named the first day, because that day was, and had been for many' ages, sacred to the Sun. It was a Pagan holy - day, and for that reason was adopted by the Christians.
As a matter Of fact, Christianity borrowed everything it has. It borrowed the biography Of Christ - all its dogmas and all its ceremonies and symbols. There is nothing original in our religion.
Nothing can be more idiotic than the belief that Sun day is sacred, and that labor is profane. Nothing can be more idiotic than the belief that pleasure is sinful.
