Actually the day put aside was Saturday.
The only reason we worship on Sunday is because that is the day of the Resurrection. There isn't a clear mandate on this.
I grew up with a very ridged mother who was so dogmatic that we couldn't even wear jeans on Sunday. The what to do or what not to do was motivated by guilt, not reverence.
About the end of your question.....the selling of alcohol is almost funny. How ridged to some people need to be in order to feel that they have pleased God? There is so much more to this world than when to sell of buy a drink. It the selling of the drinks becomes a huge stumbling block to your personal growth and your belief system, then it is wrong. But, geesh...talk about legalism.
Legalism promotes guilt motivated faith which I am very much against!
I don't think that God is half as dogmatic about legalism
The idea of respecting the Sabath is more a mind set than a list of what to do and what not to do.

Saturday (the seventh day) is the day God rested. It is also the only day in the Bible with a name--Sabbath. All the other days only had a number. The word Sunday doesn't occur in the whole Bible.
The only reason Christians today keep Sunday is because they follow tradition. That tradition dates back to the point in time when the day of worship was declared to be changed from Saturday to Sunday, several hundred years after Jesus' death. It's basically, then, a question of tradition versus the Bible.
If you can prove from the Bible that Jesus or any of his disciples changed the day, there are many places out there that will reward you handsomely. I saw one offering $64,000 recently.

God did not set aside Sunday which is the first day of the week. God rested from all his labors on the Sabbath (Seventh) Day. This is the fourth commandment, Remember the Sabbath Day to keep it Holy. Man has six days to get his work in order, to prepare his food, to do his shopping, and to rest from his work on the Sabbath Day (Saturday). If you are a true Christian, then you won't be buying alcohol on any day. And, yes, Jesus did heal on the Sabbath Day.

I honor the day God set aside already, the Sabbath.
And I'm talking about the Lunar Sabbath from the Lunar Calendar, not the Roman Saturday that many keep as a sabbath.

Ourselves, we choose for to observe the Sabbath day set aside for our writer YHVH as He commanded. Or choose for to worship baal and set aside Sunday as guy on the spot. a million Ki 18:21 And Elijah got here close to to each and all of the human beings and pronounced, "How long will you hesitate between 2 evaluations? If the LORD is God, stick to Him; yet while Baal, stick to him." however the human beings did no longer answer him a word.

isn't the Sabath saturday. and yes i do remember it or observe it. but tell me should a archetec keep his eyes shut unless he imagines, should a professional athlete make sure they do not get any excersise by lying in bed all day, should we not spit in the dirt because that makes mortar, should a speech therapist or a singer remain silent unless it is considered work, should a priest refrain from Bible study?
as long as a person is not legalistic about it then i think it is an important day. but if someone is building a hot rod in the garage isn't it ok for him to work on it because that is what he finds relaxing and restful.
i think it's a state of mind.

I set aside one day a week to honor God, and I am not obligated to follow the ceremonial law about the Sabbath.

Wait a minute, you're showing religious prejudice. God told the Christians that it's Sunday, He told the Jewish people that it's Saturday and He told the Muslims that it's Friday.
