Rejoicing In the Sabbath:

Whether Saturday night or Sunday morning, the point is the same. They had church the first day of the week. Again, it's a strawman to say the Roman church forced anything. They made an issue out of it, but who cares? A day is a day. Paul contrasted those who eat meat and those who refuse meat as those strong and weak in the faith respectively. He did the same with not keeping a day and keeping a day holy in Romans 14. This shows that keeping a day holy is weakness of faith.

Who is weak in the faith? It is the one who is more concerned over the outward issue of meats and days than the other. One who needs a physical act or physical refraining of an act is weak in the faith since they require something physically done or refrained from with a focus on doing or not doing.

Romans 14:1-6 KJV Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations. (2) For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs. (3) Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him. (4) Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand. (5) One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. (6) He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.

Historically ignorant.

People were excommunicated and severely persecuted after the Sunday edict. Who cares that early Christians were murdered over not worshipping on Sunday?
