Exd 20:11 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.

I am making a point here that He did NOT unhallow it!

All of man's claims cannot change the fact that God did not change anything having to do with His Commandments, His Statutes, or His Judgments (Gen 26:5) -- either before the Cross or after it.
Malachi 3:6 "For I am the LORD, I change not..."
Psalm 89:34 "My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips."
Heb. 8:10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
Heb. 8:11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.
God bless.

Sunday is not the Sabbath it is the Lord's day the two are different. Christ rose on sunday and he rested in the tomb on the Sunday.
Some early writters refered to the resurection as th 8th day. The early church canons recgonise the Saturday Sabbath as a time to prepair for resurection. Fasts will be eased and the day will be set aside for prepitory prayer and rest as the seventh day sabbath like the rest of the old covenent is to prepair for the new.
So instead of complaining people celebrate the resurection- take the apostolic approach dedicate both days to God in a special way. Keep the Sabbath Holy and keep the Lord's day Holy as well. The Aposltes used to celebrate the Jewish Sabbath on saturday and the Resurection on sunday and in the Orhtodox (Lutheran and Anglican Cathlic Churches at least tradtionaly)have vespers to close out saturday - have confession and to prepair for sunday. It is the non liturgical protestants that have neglected this comandment since they see sunday as a day of preaching and not the day of the Eucherest celebrating the resurection.

Funny how sabbatarians are so poor at reading comprehension. What day did God rest on? THAT seventh day of creation. He blessed and hallowed IT.
Regardless, who was commanded to keep a weekly sabbath rest? Israel, and no others. Do you know what a covenant is and how one works? There are parties to it, and only the parties to a covenant are bound to the conditions of a covenant. Christians were never a party to that covenant.

He never unhallowed it.
The Sabbath was a foreshadowing of the rest God desires to bring His covenant people into.
The True rest is realized only in Christ, who by one sacrifice perfected forever the ones being sanctified:
"Therefore, since the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us be careful that none of you be found to have fallen short of it. For we also have had the gospel preached to us, just as they did; but the message they heard was of no value to them, because those who heard did not combine it with faith. Now we who have believed enter that rest, just as God has said,
"So I declared on oath in my anger,
'They shall never enter my rest.' " And yet his work has been finished since the creation of the world. For somewhere he has spoken about the seventh day in these words: "And on the seventh day God rested from all his work."And again in the passage above he says, "They shall never enter my rest."
It still remains that some will enter that rest, and those who formerly had the gospel preached to them did not go in, because of their disobedience. Therefore God again set a certain day, calling it Today, when a long time later he spoke through David, as was said before:
"Today, if you hear his voice,
do not harden your hearts."For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day. There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; for anyone who enters God's rest also rests from his own work, just as God did from his. Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will fall by following their example of disobedience."
Hebrews 4:1-10
It is not in the observation of a day that God's people come into rest, but by the realization of the perfect redemption that is in Christ, and entered into by faith. I hope you find His rest:
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."
Matthew 11:28-30

Next time read the WHOLE Bible.
Then go find a BIBLE STUDY. This is what they talk about. Otherwise you are going to pick and choose and incorrectly make assumptions.
They say "a little knowledge" is...
Good Luck.
