Zone1 Sunday, Absolutely is not The Commanded Seventh Day Sabbath!

Shabbat ~ to cease or rest.
There was no Jewish Law at the time God was creating the heavens and the earth. He said if you work 6 days, take the next day off. Rest. Let your livestock rest. Let them wander about the field to eat what's left. Let the poor people gather what's left. < That describes Jews working on Shabbat because there was no law preventing it.

The very word that defines Shabbat is rest, not Saturday. The message could not be more clear. And keep in mind we are talking about 2 different calendars. Whatever name we give the day we rest isn't as important as using the day to rest and commune with God.

Do you think God would condemn you if you took every Tues. off and spent the day in church reading the gospel and praying?
Ireish The Law, was not only given to the "Jews",.... It was Given to All of the Children of Yisrael.

That also goes for The O.T.,.... Not about the "Jews" only.

The Calendar? There was not Calendar in the Old Testament.
 
So You dispute the Messiah telling the Rich Man that if he wanted to get to Heaven, to Keep The Commandments?

Irish,... Constantine the Great, had the Honoring of the Seventh Day Sabbath, changed to Sunday, throughout the Roman Empire. In fact his newly formed "Catholic Church", corrupted many Teachings of The Messiah.

Beginning with Martin Luther, "Christianity" maintained many of the Teachings of Catholicism.

Did You even bother to read the Quotes in Post#2?
No, I don't dispute what Christ said to the rich man. The rich man was Jewish, and under the Law.
Many Catholics believe in replacement theology, where they usurp the covenants that God made with the Jews.
As far as Gentiles, We are not yoked to Jewish Laws. Constantine was not bound to keep Jewish Law. In fact, the Talmud states that Gentiles are not obligated to keep the 613 Laws that they observe.

And I don't believe for a minute that God cares what brick and mortar building we emerge from on Sat. or Sun. He is interested in the condition of our hearts on Monday...
 
But, God didn't say in Genesis that He worked from Sunday through Fri. and then took Saturday off. We just know that whatever calendar day His work was finished, he rested the next day.
The Torah is a specific set of laws for a specific people. And even then, God came up with a better covenant. He sent Jesus to fulfill the Law for the Jews.
We were never put under those conditions. God divulged the reasons to take a day off in Genesis. He didn't say which day...
Regardless of calendar date, changes in the calendar, the naming of days, the seven-day weekly cycle has remained intact for thousands of years, so there's no question which is the "seventh day" of the week.

For the Jew it's Sat. For the Jew. So why on this earth would any Gentile put themselves under any Jewish Law + ? If you do and break one, you have broken them all.
I also believe the week begins on Sun. But it makes no difference to the Gentile. Christians rest and celebrate on Sunday, the day Christ rose from the dead.
Even the Talmud tells us that Gentiles are not obligated to follow Jewish Law.

Romans 14:5-6 One person considers one day more sacred than another; another considers every day alike. Each of them should be fully convinced in their own mind. Whoever regards one day as special does so to the Lord. Whoever eats meat does so to the Lord, for they give thanks to God; and whoever abstains does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God.

^^^ That verse addresses this very debate. If you rest on Saturday, God will count it to you as righteousness. If you rest on Sunday, God will count it as righteousness on your part. If you eat fish on Friday to honor Him, He considers it as righteous on your part. If you don't eat fish on Friday to honor Him, He considers it as righteous on your part...
