Re: The Lord's Day

On the topic of which day of the week...this is how I would approach it, sort of backing into it since it is not specifically defined. Why would John use the phrase if nothing specific was intended to be conveyed...so it must have meant something. Also, it would seem odd for the new religion adheren...
