I have heard that Sabbath day is Saturday but I have always thought it was generally Sunday. I know many Christians who also treat Sunday as Sabbath. Which one is it??

No, Sunday is not the Sabbath. In the Bible, they never mentioned that Sunday was the Sabbath, they said that the seventh day is the Sabbath. The first day is Sunday, start counting from there. See if I'm wrong, or better yet, see if the Bible's wrong. The Bible is never wrong, we should all listen to the Bible and Jesus.
Before, I was in the Sunday Church. But then I realized I was wrong, and now I go to a wonderful saturday church with a lot of friendly people.

Originally, that is in the Jewish faith, Sabbath and Saturday were the same day, the word Sabbath is an Hebrew word that means Strike, like not working, since in Genesis it is written that on that day God stopped working.
the name Saturday is Roman, it's the day of Saturn, a Roman God.
Early Christians changed the day in the week which is the day work stops from Saturday to Sunday, i suppose it was done to underline the difference between Judaism and Christianity.
Early Muslims did the same by selecting Friday as the day off, probably for the same reason of being different from Jews and Christians.
But Jews still call the 7th day of the week "Sabbath"

The majority of Christians treat Sunday as the sabbath. Biblically the sabbath is Saturday. Just look on the calendar. What is the seventh day of the week? Saturday. Genesis says, "and on the seventh day he rested." One of the only "christian" religions to realize this fact are the 7th Day Adventists. If you want to look into it more try googling them or even the origins of Judaism. Hope that helps!
I find that the only argument people normally use to support this is that they say Jesus rose on Sunday. Well, ask yourself this, if Jesus died on Friday how did he rise on Sunday morning if he was in the grave for three days-or 72 hours?

The actual sabbath day for the Jews is Saturday. As Christians today, we usually set aside Sunday as a day of worship for God and not Saturday because it is more convenient. If Church services was held on Saturdays, many people who work on Saturdays will not be able to attend church. Read Book of Luke chapter verses 1 - 11 and see what Jesus said about the Sabbath!

Some religious organizations (Seventh-Day Adventists, Seventh-Day Baptists, and certain others) claim that Christians must not worship on Sunday but on Saturday, the Jewish Sabbath. They claim that, at some unnamed time after the apostolic age, the Church "changed" the day of worship from Saturday to Sunday. However, passages of Scripture such as Acts 20:7, 1 Corinthians 16:2, Colossians 2:16-17, and Revelation 1:10 indicate that, even during New Testament times, the Sabbath is no longer binding and that Christians are to worship on the Lord’s day, Sunday, instead.
The Sabbatists who nowadays want to observe the Jewish holiday, forget that Jesus and the apostles had authority to interpret and to reform the laws of Moses.The early Church Fathers compared the observance of the Sabbath to the observance of the rite of circumcision, and from that they demonstrated that if the apostles abolished circumcision (Gal. 5:1-6), so also the observance of the Sabbath must have been abolished.
The following quotations show that the first Christians understood this principle and gathered for worship on Sunday.
The Didache
"But every Lord’s day . . . gather yourselves together and break bread, and give thanksgiving after having confessed your transgressions, that your sacrifice may be pure. But let no one that is at variance with his fellow come together with you, until they be reconciled, that your sacrifice may not be profaned" (Didache 14 [A.D. 70]). The Letter of Barnabas"We keep the eighth day [Sunday] with joyfulness, the day also on which Jesus rose again from the dead" (Letter of Barnabas 15:6–8 [A.D. 74]).
Peace and every blessing!

It is Saturday, The Roman Catholic Church changed it to Sunday because they was trying to convert pagans over to Christianity. Thats also why Christians celebrate Easter and Christmas. You will never find those celebrations in the Bible. So they thought they would get more people converted if they kept the traditions the pagans were already celebrating. Actually the pagans used to celebrate their sun god on sunday. thats why it is called SUNDAY

There is a verse that says let no man judge you in respect of a Sabbath... Then another verse says one man keeps the Sabbath and does it unto God so don't judge him and another says he doesn't keep the Sabbath and he does it unto God so don't judge him. Personally I think all days are the Sabbath.
