Conclusion
The true Sabbath is not Saturday or Sunday. It is not one day out of every week reserved for total rest, and it is not, as many churches teach, one day out of every week reserved exclusively for organized church activities. Instead, it is every day. It is God's invitation to cease from our own works and enter into His rest. It is always today

What does the Bible really say about the Sabbath? It is generally assumed that Sunday is the correct day. Is it possible that all of these churches are wrong on this fundamental doctrine? And, after all, does it make any difference? Do we not have to adjust our religion to the changing times? Was not the law—including the Sabbath—"nailed to the cross" when Christ died? What about scriptures like Galatians 4:10 or Colossians 2:16—do they not prove that it does not matter which day we keep? Was not Christ resurrected on Sunday, thus His day is the "Lord's Day

The idea of the Sabbath is that no one will work on that day and spend the entire day in worship of God

If the Sabbath was changed to every day for Christians, then Paul wouldn't have said, 'There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God" (Heb 4:9); and Jesus wouldn't have spoken of it prophetically of the end times, telling his people to pray that their flight to safety not be on the Sabbath day (Mt 24:20 - "Pray that your flight will not take place in winter or on the Sabbath.").
Yes, all those churches are wrong. Neither Jesus, not the Apostles, gave any change to the Sabbath Command -- and any honest theologian knows that.
How do the changing time affect the need to know and learn from God; for that is the fundamental purpose of the Sabbath.
Ex 31:13 - "Say to the Israelites, 'You must observe my Sabbaths. This will be a sign between me and you for the generations to come, so you may know that I am the Lord, who makes you holy." (also Eze 20:12, 20)
It was not the LAW that was nailed to the cross, but the debt (of the repentant) to the law -- the punishment for our sins, the death penalty.
Concerning Galatians 4:10 -- read verses 8 and 9. It shows that the Galatian Christians were turning back to PAGAN days of worship!
Concerning Colossians 2:16 -- note that your argument can go the other way on this. If a person were to start keeping God's holy days after a lifetime of keeping Pagan days, wouldn't everyone want to judge that person? But notice verse 17 -- "...which ARE a shadow...". Paul describes the Sabbath, etc., in the present tense, not as something no longer observed by Christians.
And finally, Christ did NOT rise from the dead on a Sunday!!!
Read 'The Day Christ Died and Rose: a concise, biblical proof' at: http://www.geocities.com/bc1in2k/Death_Res_JC.html
When the women went to the tomb to anoint him, he was ALREADY RISEN!!!
BTW, even the Catholic Catechism states that the Sabbath is still the seventh day of the week -- from sunset on Friday to sunset on Saturday.

The Mark of the Beast
There is no such law in the Bible. It is a law of the Holy Catholic Church alone. The Bible says `Remember the sabbath day to keep it holy.' The Catholic Church says, No. By my divine power I abolish the sabbath day and command you to keep holy the first day of the week. And lo! The entire civilized world bows down in reverent obedience to the command of the Holy Catholic Church.

Collossians 2 says "one man esteems one day holy another man a different day,let no man judge you on feast days or sabbaths,or what you eat or drink."
The Sabbath was for the Jewish nation.It was the 7th day whichis our Saturday.Most Christians worship on the 1rst day of the week Sunday,the day the Lord rose from the dead.Paul would argue Jesus in the Synagoges on Sat. and meet with the bretheren on the 1rst day of the week..."the Lord's Day "John calls it in Rev.I .

The Sabbath day for most christians is Sunday, for Jews and 7th Day Adventists it's Saturday. I think it's Saturday for Muslims also.

He said the 6th day. He also said "there was evening and there was morning the first day" If you believe that a day was a 24 hour period then the 6th day is Saturday.
