It is admitted—it could not be otherwise—that the Bible does not say that “the Lord’s day” of Rev. 1:10 is the first day of the week. Why then call the first day of the week the Lord’s day?—Because, we are told, the early fathers called it that. Well, shall we take a “father” of an apostate church two hundred years this side of Christ, followed by other such “fathers,” as of more authority than Christ and his word? Less than forty days after Jehovah spoke with his own voice from Sinai, some of the “fathers” in Israel, Aaron among them, made an image to the Egyptian sun-god Apis, and said, “These be thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.” And the next day they held a feast to it, and called it “a feast to Jehovah.” (See Ex. 32:1-5.) If the “fathers” of less than two-score days’ apostasy were wrong in the face of God’s testimony, may it not be that3“fathers” of an apostasy of a hundred and fifty years are also wrong, especially with God’s word to the contrary? The old error of Aaron continued to curse Israel notwithstanding God’s testimony against it. So also the pseudo Lord’s day, the Roman Sunday, lives notwithstanding the positive testimony of God’s word. But, friends, is not the authority of the first-day Lord’s day questionable? Would you not rather have the Lord’s day of the Bible? Which testimony do you prefer—apostate tradition or the word of the Lord?
