All through the Bible even into the NT we are reminded to keep his commandments. Where does it say God changed His Holy day to Sunday the first day. Revelation 14:12 says - Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
Isaiah 58:13 says - If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words:

+ The Law Fulfilled +
For Christians, Jesus fulfilled the Law of Moses.
Christians are not held to the ceremonial parts of the Mosaic Law concerning of dietary purity and temple worship.
Christians are held to the moral law of God, some of which is expressed in the Ten Commandments.
However Jesus took the Ten Commandments to the next step summarizing them into the two Great Commandments:
+ You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.
+ You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
And teaching things like
+ Everyone who looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
+ Everyone is our neighbor including our enemies.
Therefore we have to go much farther than the original recipients of the Ten Commandments ever dreamed.

+ The Day of the Resurrection +
The Catholic Church follows the teaching and practice of the Apostles. In the 20th chapter of the Act of the Apostles, the church in Troas gathered on the first day of the week, Sunday.
The first Christians were Jews. They went to temple or synagogue on the Sabbath (Saturday) with fellow Jews.
Then they gathered on the first day of the week, the day on which Jesus rose from the dead (Sunday), with fellow Christians to tell stories of Jesus and share Eucharist. See Acts 20:7.
Later Gentiles joined Christianity. The Apostles, filled with the Holy Spirit, decided that the Gentiles did not have to covert to Judaism. Therefore, they only attended on Sundays and did not have to abide by Jewish dietary laws.
This has been the practice ever since
+ With love in Christ.

Colossians 2, talks about how the old law was taken out of the way and "nailed to the cross".
Verse 16 says,
"Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days"
9 of the "10 commandments" are repeated in the New Testament, so we are to keep them (since we live under the New Testament), but "remember the Sabbath day" was not repeated and addressed to the New Testament church.
This command was addressed to the Israelites under the Law of Moses.
Christians in the New Testament met on the first day of the week (Acts 20:7, 1 Corinthians 16:2). This is the day of the week the church began (Acts 2) (Pentecost was always on the first day of the week.), and this was the day Jesus rose from the dead. (Mark 16:1-2)
We are no longer under the law of Moses, but now we are subject to the "law of Christ"! (Galatians 6:2)

Well actually it is the 3rd commandment that starts with Remember - Remember the Sabbath day in a some religions. The Sabbath is also Saturday in some religions and Sunday in others so I guess it depends on what religious instructions the individual undertook. You are assuming that everyone adheres to your religion's version of the 10 commandments.

The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. Which of you if he had a cute little kitty that got stuck in the toilet on the Sabbath would not reach in and pull it out? Legalism = no good.

It doesnt matter what day it falls upon. 6 days of work, 1 day of rest and worship. That's all that counts. The sabbath could be a Wednesday and it would still work the same way.

I keep forgetting the stuff about not judging others. How do you do on that one?
