Jesus said, "The Sabbath was made for man, not man for sabbath." in Luke 2:27. And in Exodus 20:10 says, "but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God." In Malachi 3:6 says, "For I am the Lord, I do not chage." In John 14:15 says, "If you love Me, keep My commandments." Even Peter said in Acts 6:29, "We ought to obey God, rather than men."

Sunday is adopted by the Protestants to celebrate the sabbath, but I do not know when or why this came to be. There was also a time when Jesus healed a man on the sabbath and was chastised by the Jewish priest for working on a holy day. I would think that the important thing would be to try to honor God every day. My father is a Lutheran minister so I did spend a lot of time in church and it always amazed me how many people would attend church, then do what ever they wanted the rest of the week. It's not my place to judge, but I do think god would want us to walk with him everyday. He does know that we aren't able to do this all the time, which was why he sacrificed His son for us.
A little long but I hope you can see the point I was trying to make. I hope this helps you.

The Lord may not change, but he certainly chooses to unfold his plan for mankind in steps.
Some of those steps are permanent and some are temporary.
The new testament is ALL NEW. None of the old law applies. The old law ... ALL of it ... was perfectly fulfilled by Jesus and set aside forever.
Only IF Jesus failed to fulfill the law would it have continued to prevail unchanged, until the end of the age, and we would all still be condemned by it, too.
Go back and re-read that part about not coming to destroy, but to fulfill the law, and then do a study on grace and mercy.
The law is totally at odds with mercy and grace, and grace is a much better deal for everyone.
The only commandments Jesus was speaking about are the new ones, which encompass and surpass all the others, out of love.
Love God. Love your neigbor. These are the NEW commandments, which effectively replaced the old ones.
Regarding Sundays ... the apostles moved the Christian sabbath observance to Sundays very early in the development of the church, according to the power of binding and loosing, which was given to them directly by Jesus.
This was what they meant when they spoke about coming together on the Lord's Day.

All true and valid points. According to historical sources other than the Bible, Christians began worship on Sunday a) because that was the day Christ rose, making it a day of worship, and/or b) the early church was still Jewish, which meant a Sabbath on Saturday, but to set themselves apart they maintained a Christian Sabbath on the first day of the week. (This also follows the theory that they chose the first day of the week because the first day in Genesis was the day of new creation, copied by the resurrection paving the way for man to be a new creation in Christ.)

You will not find one verse in the Bible that states that the Sabbath was changed from Saturday to Sunday. It just simply isn't there. The Sabbath is still Saturday. God never changed it. Did you notice that the only commandment in the Bible that begins with the word "remember" is the fourth one? Hmmmmmmmmmmm.
Blessed Sabbath to All!

We are not to judge anyone concerning their observance of any Holy Day:
Colossians 2
16Let 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:
17Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
So whether you do or not, I do not judge you for it.
AND there is worship to be done on the recommendation of Paul as in giving on the FIRST day of the week:
1 Corinthians 16:2
Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come.
So why all the fuss? Is this mental masturbation? Don't you know that we are made free in Christ? Sometimes it would seem that Christians are fighting a war with themselves, instead of with principalities and powers, evil in high places. Maybe it's those principalities and powers telling us to argue about things already decided? Seeking to put eachother under the bondage of tradition?

No. It's not in the bible. And YES IT IS A SIN NOT TO KEEP THE FOURTH COMMANDMENT. We are commanded to work on the first day of the week. Worshiping God daily is fantastic, but when the One who created us also creates a day for us to spend time with Him in a special way, we dare not ignore it.

The sabbath law changed when Jesus healed the sick on the Sabbath. He allowed this disciples to gleam grain on the Sabbath. How is up to you to debate,

No.
The sabbath has always been Saturday.
It's not a sin to meet for fellowship and worship on Sunday.
But Saturday is the holy day of rest.

Sunday is for those who worship MITHRAS the pagan Roman Sun God.
Who was born on December 25th.
