"The New Testament makes it clear that the observance of a particular day was not imposed as a binding obligation. Romans 14:5-6 makes it clear that there was some freedom in the matter of special days. Colossians 2:16-17 commanded the church not to allow anyone to act as their judge in regard to sabbath days. And Galatians 4:9-10 warns against going back under the Law by insisting on the legal requirement of special days.
The records that remain in the New Testament show that the first day of the week soon became a day of worship. When Paul wanted to collect an offering from the church at Corinth, he asked them to gather the money on the "first day of the week" (1 Cor. 16:2). And when he wanted to meet with the believers at Troas, the gathering took place "on the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread" (Acts 20:7).
In Revelation 1:10, the apostle John described himself as being "in the Spirit on the Lord's Day." Most writers have thought he was referring to Sunday, so that our use of "the Lord's Day" as a term for Sunday comes from this verse.
A person's decision concerning sabbath observance probably hinges on the question of how we view the entire Old Testament. If all of it is still binding on us, then so is the sabbath. If there are parts that are no longer binding because they were directed specifically to the Jewish nation, or because they were for ritual purposes, then the sabbath is open for discussion.
No matter what position a person takes, it is important to recognize that God has a claim to all of my time. When I give Him one day of the week, it reminds me that He owns all seven!
Amen
The observance of Sunday as the day of worship commemorates the resurrection of Jesus, the most important day in human history.
“If Christ is not raised, your faith is futile, and you are still in your sins.” (I Corinthians 15:17)
Saved me a lot of time. Thanks!
Also, for me, a day of worship and a day of “rest” are not the same, especially since EVERY day is a day of worship and Jesus is my rest.

Matthew 12
11 And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out?
The Catholic Church have made an attempt to change the law.
The Protestant Churches are not only disputing the letter the letter of the law but disputing the law itself.
Even Jesus himself did not do that.
Only to those who don't understand what YHWH's Holy Days are for... A dreadful mistake on the part of Christianity.
