When answering the question "Do you think the shabbat is Saturday or Sunday?" you wrote:


 * Under the law Sabbath was on Saturday, but the Christian church moved it to Sunday. It is a part of the Ten Commandments, so its not required to be saved to follow it, but is a sin if you do not. Since the law no longer applies it is not necessary for a specific day. In Fact Christians celebrate Sabbath on Sunday because it distinguishes it from other religions whose holy day is on Saturday.

A couple of things: first, you did not offer your opinion, but answered that the Sabbath was "changed." Yes, what we sometimes call the Sabbath (aka "the Lord's Day) was declared the "Christian Sabbath." Technically, he asked about the Shabbat, which is the Jewish Sabbath. That is observed from sundown on "Friday" until sundown on "Saturday."

The Christian Sabbath was chosen not to distinguish from just any "other religions" but specifically Judaism. Second, the Ten Commandments are in full affect as a rule of life, to be lived by every Christian. Though all the Law, even the moral Law, was fulfilled in Christ, it did not negate the law. It still "applies" to believers as a way of life. It is entirely not clear from Scriptures about the change of the day of rest.

However, it is quite clear that the day of weekly worship was established to be the "first day of the week." It is on this day that Light was created, that Jesus arose from the dead and that He ascended into heaven. It is quite appropriate to relate to God in worship on a thrice blessed day. Apart from the part about working six days, I like the concept of the five-day week that has developed in recent times. That way, I can have a day of rest and a day of worship! That may a "cop-out," and is taught nowhere that I know. But it would work for me. :-)
