While Jesus and most of his early followers, being Jews, observed the Biblical Sabbath (the only question being, as with Jewish people today, the details of just how this was to be done), Jewish religious law does not even attempt to expect Christians to observe the Sabbath.
Most Christian churches have followed the lead of second-century Ignatius of Antioch in switching over to “Lord’s Day” on Sundays instead of the Sabbath. Many refer to this as the “Christian Sabbath,” but of course it is on hothe first day of the week instead of the 7th “day of rest.”

While I haven’t personally counted them, there are a number of Christian churches that do observe the Sabbath (there are supposed to be over 500 Sabbath-keeping denominations including the most prominent SDA Seventh-Day Adventist Church and its many offshoots, but also some Baptists, some Pentacostals, and a number of other mostly smaller Protestant denominations).

At any event, I think that the criticisms were perhaps a bit unnecessary?

So a church can change the 10 commandments? Just seeking clarity. Thank you.

I don't even know what that sentence is supposed to mean. We are not to be concerned about religious leaders, we are supposed to be concerned on what God wants. He has clearly put that in writing. With the Creation of the earth He established it. When He walked the earth He lived it. And it will remain that way until Heaven and earth disappear IF we are to believe what He said.
