The original Biblical sabbath day is saturday. As Christians we typically keep the day of the Resurrection of Christ as a "new sabbath" you choose. I don't think either will send you to hell. the command says literally "remember a day of rest and keep it holy"

Saturday is the seventh day of the week and the Sabbath that God instituted in the beginning . Gen. 2-2 In Matt. 28-1, we find that the sabbath was still being kept, in the new testament as the scripture says," In the end of the Sabbath as it begin to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre. As the Jewish Sabbath started at sundown Friday night and ended at sundown on Saturday, The two Marys must have came to the sepulche right as the sun was going down on Saturday. Jesus was put in the tomb on Wednesday the day before the Jewish feast day on Thursday as the scripture says in John 19-31." The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day(for that Sabbath day was a high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken and that they might be taken away. If you count three days, from Wednesday about three oclock,(as that is the time of day the scriptures indicate) and three nights You will see that will make Jesus already arisen on the weekly Sabbath day fulfilling the scripture that said He would arise from the grave after three days and three nights. If He was not put in the grave on Wednesday The Jewish High day and was put in their On Friday instead He could not have possibly fullfilled the three days and three nights in the tomb. There is no place in scripture that tells us that the Sabbath has ever been changed. In fact all scriptures indicate just the opposite.

According to historians, time nor days have ever been changed. If you are asking from a spiritual or religious standpoint, read the Bible cover to cover and you will not find one verse saying that the Sabbath is sunday. The catholic church openly admits that they changed their worship to Sunday, not because of anything they saw in the Bible, but by their own authority. Non-religious speaking look it up in the dictionary and it will say seventh day of the week. A good book that will help you is called The Ten Commandments Twice Removed. The author is someone Shelton. Man does not have the authority to sanctify any day. We should worship every day, but only God has the right to sanctify a day. Seventh day adventists could help you, I know from personal experience that they are not a cult. Cults do not believe in the trinity. The Bible says in Exodus "Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy" But we shouldn't judge those who do not, that is God's job.

For Christians the Sabbath is on Sunday. Truthfully the original day is Saturday. But for me, the Sabbath is every single day. I am a Christian and I believe that God, the Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit should be praised and worshiped every single day. Not just on Sunday. That is my own way of doing things.
Good Question...

The fourth commandment has not been voided... The Sabbath was instituted by God and decreed to be from sundown on the sixth day to sundown on the Seventh day... Check with a Seventh Day Adventist Church in your area... thay have literature that is good on showing the documentation for this ... just do not be lured in any further in the rest of their doctrins... they are close, at least in many of there congrigations , to being cultish... but they are correct on the Sabbath issue.
The Roman catholic cult changed the day of worship to sunday as a demonstration of their power. When the Protestants split from the RC cult they kept the sunday business...

Friday night at sundown begins the Sabbath. Saturday sundown ends it.
Every day is a day of the Lord.
Who are you to condemn God's servants? They are responsible to the Lord, so let him tell them whether they are right or wrong. The Lord's power will help them do as they should. In the same way, some think one day is more holy than another day, while others think every day is alike. Each person should have a personal conviction about this matter. Those who have a special day for worshiping the Lord are trying to honor him. Romans 14:4-6

The Jewish sabbath has always been on Friday night/Saturday morning (lunar calendar). I've been told that Sunday is not the Christian sabbath, it is the day of Jesus' ascension. Jesus relieved all his followers from the laws of the "Old Testament." Keeping the sabbath holy was part of the old covenant.

Sabbath ("shabat") is the Hebrew word for "Saturday", and it comes from the same root as "rest", "strike", sit"... as this is the day when god "struck" from his creation and rested, according to Genesis 1.
Sabbath is the holy day of the Jews. While I don't know if there is a matching term for the day of rest in Christianity and Islam, I bet that it is not Sabbath.
The Sabbath starts when the sun comes down Friday night, and three stars appear.

If you are wanting to know how it is written that we are to observe the sabbath and not man's traditional observance (man's disobedience), then that will be the 7th day which according to any dictionary will tell you that Saturday is the seventh day of the week.
For the proof and the whole Truth go to this website and read!
http://yahweh.com/Booklets-PDF/Sabbath.pdf
Heb 4:3 For we who have believed do enter into that rest, even as he has said, "As I swore in my wrath, they will not enter into my rest;" although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
4 For he has said this somewhere about the seventh day, "Yahweh rested on the seventh day from all his works;"
5 and in this place again, "They will not enter into my rest."
6 Seeing therefore it remains that some should enter therein, and they to whom the news was before preached failed to enter in because of disobedience,
9 There remains therefore a Sabbath rest for the people of Yahweh
10 For he who has entered into his rest has himself also rested from his works, as Yahweh did from his.
11 Let us therefore give diligence to enter into that rest, lest anyone fall after the same example of disobedience.
See, it's disobedience that man does not keep the sabbath like commanded.

The Sabbath is Saturday. On the 7th day God rested.
Christians moved services to Sunday to celebrate the ressurection of Christ, and new beginings, but technically Saturday is still the sabbath
