Sorry, but you lost me when you stated the Ten Commandments written with God’s own finger are the same as any other.

As for the number of commandments, I’m not inclined to nit pick about them. If it’s important for you to think there were only nine and toss that in the mix every time the topic comes up, go for it. You’ll see a lot of yawning.

I hate to break it to you, but if you are a Christian, your faith goes back to the Ten Commandments. It was not just for the Jews. What do you think Paul was all about, spreading the word to the Gentiles?

The official sabbath change did not take place until 321ad.

It was set by a man, not God.

The Ten Commandment are part of the whole deal of commandments; they may have been the first ten that G-d pronounced, dunno, I wasn't there. You should read the commandments in the OT that Jews had to follow. And I also repeat you cannot fulfill the Ten Commandments because either in thought, word, or deed you will blow it.

This is all I have to say on the matter. Have a Nice Day.

We print calendars that put Sunday as the first day of the week, but in practice we begin our week on Monday, and (also) call Sunday the second day of the weekend, meaning that for all practical purposes we work from Monday to either Friday or Saturday, then take Sunday off, resting on the seventh day of our week. How we handle Sunday then becomes the issue.
