Didn't Jesus say he has come to fulfill the law and not change it?
The Sabbath was and STILL IS on Saturday. The Bible says God created the Sabbath for man, not himself. After all, God doesn't need to rest. He did not say, however, that you could practice any day you wanted to. The Fourth Commandment is to "remember the Sabbath, and keep it holy". He also didn't say it was only for the Jews but for all men.
"Again, does God have two different standards for Sabbath-keeping—one for Jews and another for Gentiles? Many claim this is the case. But God says He is “not a respecter of persons.” He does not have one standard for one person and a different standard for someone else.
God says that He is “not willing that any should perish” (II Pet. 3:9) and that He would “have all men to be saved” (I Tim. 2:4). Of course, Gentiles are certainly part of “all men.”
I Corinthians 12:13 said that both “Jews and Gentiles” enter the Church through the receiving of God’s Spirit. They both live under the same standard." (Taken from the linked website).

Sunday, but should be Saturday. Well, should really be sundown on Friday, until sundown on Saturday... That's the official Judeo-Christian sabbath.
I've no idea what the punishment is for people using Sunday for the sabbath... :-/ What is the punishment for breaking one of the ten commandments? Or will they be let off for at least picking a day, and respecting it as the sabbath, even if it's the wrong day? An interesting theological dilema, that one...

I answered this question from another a few weeks ago. If you can check back on answers please do so. In a nutshell, Jesus gave a new command and that was to love your neighbor as yourself. He, by preaching this new message, nullified the old covenant that was given to the Israelites. You don't have to keep holy the sabbath anymore. We have this "Sunday" idea set aside by us only because of the week-end off from our jobs. It's only by convenience that this was brought about.

The Sabbath is 1,000 years long, so we should keep every day holy.

The 7'Th (seventh) day!!!
The debate ,today, revolves around which day is that..?
When Caesar NERO Instituted the Gregorian calender.., (the one we know today), time keeping was altered.
Is Saturday the 7'th..? As many still hold to!
OR when the "first" POPE..," POPE CONSTANTINE" came into power and changed things again...,
It is all PERSPECTIVE !!!!

Saturday or Sunday, but as to what day of the week it is relative to ancient times, nobody really knows.
