I noticed many people here use the term "Sabbath" for the Lord's Day, which surprised me at the beginning since it is not common where I live, only Jews and STAs would use it. While I understand why they call the Saturday "Sabbath", I do not understand why Christians should call Sunday "Sabbath". I think it is very clear that the biblical Sabbath for Israel was on Saturday, not on Sunday. Of course, we do not have to keep the old-covenant Sabbath on Saturday like STAs do, but why should we then call the Sunday Sabbath?
The passages that proof that the early Christians did meet on Sunday (Acts 20:7, 1 Corinthians 16:2) do not mention the term as well.
Thank you!
