Dake Bible Discussion Board ⇒ The strange disposal of Mark 16:9-20

[bibleman]

Acts 20:7 Now on the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul, ready to depart the next day, spoke to them and continued his message until midnight.

Nothing is said with regard to the observance of the resurrection.

No nothing is said of the observance of the resurrection. So while it is NOT stated what they observed... who knows? They very well could have.

Would it be logical to assume that with each Communion/Lord's Supper/ Eucharist that the remembrance of the death and resurrection is to be remembered? Or do you think that would be a stretch?

Of course not, that is what communion is all about.

1 Corinthians 11:25 In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me."
26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death till He comes.

It just seems odd that the observance by anyone on the first day of the week with regard to something as important to Christianity as the resurrection is not mentioned in scripture.

Not with the death but with the resurrection. 1 Corinthians 11:26 "For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death till He comes." Nothing is said with regard to the proclaiming of the Lord's resurrection.

Perhaps it was not mentioned for a reason. Paul made the case that esteeming and observing days is up to the individual (See Romans 14). Look back through the lens of history and see how the institutional church has venerated certain occurrences in excess because they are mentioned in scripture. (One quick example would be the Roman Catholic church and their supposed ties to Peter).

I may be wrong, and please correct me if I am, but it is not the day of the week that is important, but the fact that the tomb is empty and he is risen. Outside of the actual account, or relaying information of the historical account of the resurrection, when the resurrection is mentioned seldom is the day of the week mentioned. (I admit I only did a quick search, again correct me if the day of the week it occurred is shown in prominence. Show me where that was an important detail.)

Again, it is not the day of the week that is important, it is the event.

Except that the tomb is empty, you are partaking of a risen savior. That was obvious to them, so why should it be mentioned?

Was Sheila a groupie?

No believe it or not out of the hundreds of places I played in my short music career, Sheila only went to about 3. She never went to a nightclub or a placed that served alcohol or where drugs were present. She was a good girl only going to a couple of outdoor festivals and a couple of auditoriums.
