in the commandments, one of them says, "Remember the sabbath day and to Keep it holly" I have heard so many people tell me its Sunday, but it just does not sound right.

It is the 7th day of the week.
Genesis 2:3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
Exodus 31:16 Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.
The Sabbath day has always been the seventh day of the week. God never gave authority to change it. The day of worship was changed by the catholic church.
Pagans worshiped the sun god on the first day "SUNDAY".
The catholic church were pagans who wanted to take the form of Christians.

The Sabbath is Saturday it starts Friday at sunset and ends Saturday at sunset.
The commandment says that the 7trh day is the Sabbath
The dictionary says
Saturday: the seventh day of the week
The Jews have been keeping the Sabbath since Mt Sinai on Saturday.
We can also tell from the Bible which day is the Sabbath. We know Jesus rose on the first day of the week Sunday and Mark16:1 says that Jesus rose after the Sabbath.
Some people may say that it does not matter or we can pick a day, but the commandment does not say "Pick a 7th day" it says "THE 7th day is the Sabbath." God is specific
There is no Biblical support for calling Sunday the Sabbath or keeping Sunday Holy Biblebeliever is right it comes from paganism

You have some great answers so far. And you are right to question Sunday worship. Look at a calender. Saturday is the 7th day of the week. In 108 languages of the world Sabbath means Saturday.
Do you know why God started the 4th commandment with "Remember." It was because he knew we would forget. The Bible also tells us that all the world follows after the beast. Only a remnant will be left who truely follow God's law.
If you study your Bible and history you'll discover that the beast power is the Pope, the Holy Roman Empire. He is the one and also admits that he is responsibe for changing the day of worship from Saturday to Sunday. I have even read atricles from priests themselves saying that protestant Christians should not be following Sunday worship and even go as far as to say the the Seventh Day Adventists are the only denomination who is following the Bible Sabbath.
I have talked to pastors of other denominations about the Sabbath question and none has yet to give me a proper answer. A baptist preacher told me one time that he actually didn't have the answer and if I wanted there was a Saturday keeping Baptist church in the area. Interesting!
One of your other answeres said that we don't know which day the Sabbath day is. The 4th commandment says to "Remember the Sabbath day" and "six days shalt though labor and do all thy work but the 7TH day is the Sabbath." Sabbath = 7th day of the week. Any calendar says Saturday is the 7th day.
Some may tell you that the calendar was changed so we don't know which is the 7th day. There has only been one change in all of history and that change did not afftect the days of the week, it only affected the dates.
Again this is a great question, and I have lots more Biblical evidence of the 7th day Sabbath. If you are interested and have any other specific questions feel free to email me.

If you were a part of the Nation of Israel before 33 CE, then Saturday was the day that you set aside to specifically concentrate on spiritual interests. After the formation of the Christian congregation, it became unnecessary to observe the Sabbath in that manner. Christian tradition dictated that people meet on Sundays, likely because that is the day Jesus rose from the dead. No, there is no day of the Devil (besides Halloween and all the other holidays floating around out there).

Sabbath day is the seventh day of the week. In the Ten Commandments, it states in Exodus 20:8-11 (KJV): 8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work: 10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy man-servant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: 11 For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it."
The Jews' Sabbath day is Saturday; the Christians, Sunday. Did you know that during the time of Jesus, His followers were already observing a Sunday Sabbath. Jesus was in the tomb for three days and three nights. On the first day, it was a Sabbath day, a high Sabbath (John 19:31). It was Friday, August 18, and was the New Moon Festival (Elul 1, 3760). On the second day, it was also a Sabbath day, the weekly Saturday Sabbath. On the third day, Sunday, the apostles of Jesus could have come to visit the tomb but they couldn't because it was their Sabbath. After their Sabbath, i.e. after sundown, Mary Magdalene et al. went to the market to buy spices which they would use to anoint Jesus the next day. The market was still open after sundown because it was summertime. Early next day, Monday, they went to the tomb but did not find the body of Jesus.
I discovered this notable finding from my research to check the veracity of the August 17, 1 BC crucifixion and death of Jesus that the Holy Spirit revealed. The research was done from 1999 to 2003, and found it correct, 20 years after I first heard the date.
In the 1990s, I asked the Holy Spirit if Sunday is the Sabbath Day of Christians, and he said yes. Also, He said that the Sabbath day of a person is the seventh day from his birth. If, for example, a person was born on a Tuesday, his Sabbath day is Monday. So there you have it, direct from the horse's mouth--Sunday is the Sabbath day of Christians and for individuals, it is the seventh day from his birth.

You are correct in that Sunday is not the right day according to Scriptures. The true Sabbath was set aside by God, and was the first holiday ever. It was the seventh day of the week, which we call Saturday in modern times. Spanish and several other Romance languages use the same word for Sabbath, and Saturday. English is the one that does things differently. It's interesting to note the word Sabbath means peaceful rest day...and it was celebrated by Adam and Eve, with Yahweh Elohim long before the Jews became a nation. In modern times, there are a few Christians who remember to keep the Sabbath day holy as Christ did...with peaceful rest that passes the understanding of the worldly mind...and communion with God. I invite all who read this to enjoy the Sabbath--not as a day to watch your p's and q's and thou shalts...but a day to turn aside from worldly things and embrace the truths about what Christ has done since the beginning of time. And the Word was with God and the Word was God...all things were made by Him, etc.
Sunday is a counterfeit, as Satan has always come up with counterfeits to turn aside our reverence of God. "Thou shalt not surely die..." he said to Eve...but God's mercy allowed man kind to endure for the plan of Redemption to take place. He did not want His creation to go to waste. He gives us the choice to choose Him. Get to know Him and you fall in love with Him. The Counterfeits of Satan only cause Babylon--confusion.

Saturday is the Sabbath day my friend. It is the Seventh-day of the week by our weekly calendar and also by definition in any reputable dictionary. No confusion here whatsoever. Church history declares that Jesus died on Good Friday(Day of preparation), Laid in the tomb on Saturday(Sabbath day), and then he rose on the first day of the week(Easter Sunday morning). It is mention throughout the New Testament synoptic Gospels. Sunday is observed as the Christian Lord's day because early Church Fathers decided to switch to the first day of the week as a rest day for Christians. This change is not mentioned no where in the Bible. It is a man-made decision. God gave us the Sabbath day but man change it to Sunday to accomodate their work schedule. Sunday Worship was not originally instituted to honor Christ Resurrection. Baptism honors Christ resurrection not a day of worship. Great question and I would encourage you to worship on Sabbath sometimes. Truth over tradition. God over man. Step outside the box.

Throughout Hebrew history, the Sabbath has been celebrated on Saturday; that is, sundown Friday through sundown Saturday. Christians celebrate the Sabbath on Sunday, starting with sundown on Saturday.

"Sabbath day" means "seventh day," which according to the tradition of the Jewish people would be Saturday (technically, Friday sundown to Saturday sundown). Christianity began celebrating their day of rest on Sunday (technically NOT the Sabbath, as it is not the "seventh day") in commemoration of the fact that Jesus was supposed to have resurrected on a Sunday.

The Sabbath is the "7th day", or day of rest. There is nothing in scripture about which day it is. Christians celebrate on Sunday (with the exception of 7th Day Adventists), and Jews still celebrate on Saturday. It is meant to be a day of rest, so to do work on whatever day you celebrate on is not "keeping it holy."
