I do not disagree with you, what I would add Christ became the Sabbath and it is in Him that we rest every day of the week.

No I am not saying it is wrong to go to church on Sunday or Saturday, just that the calendars have been altered so much by so many that realistically and/or legally speaking no man can with confidence say that our days of the week this day are the specific days of the week from Exodus when the law was given to keep the Sabbath.

Do you have a scripture for this? This is not what Christ practiced nor preached. In fact, the Pharisees tried to get him to break the Sabbath so that they could stone him.

Mat 12:1 At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn; and his disciples were hungry, and began to pluck the ears of corn, and to eat. Mat 12:2 But when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto him, Behold, thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day. Mat 12:3 But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was hungry, and they that were with him; Mat 12:4 How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the shewbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them which were with him, but only for the priests Mat 12:5 Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless Mat 12:6 But I say unto you, That in this place is one greater than the temple. Mat 12:7 But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless. Mat 12:8 For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day. Mat 12:9 And when he was departed thence, he went into their synagogue: Mat 12:10 And, behold, there was a man which had his hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? that they might accuse him. Mat 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? Mat 12:12 How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days. Mat 12:13 Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, like as the other. Mat 12:14 Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him.

No I am not saying it is wrong to go to church on Sunday or Saturday, just that the calendars have been altered so much by so many that realistically and/or legally speaking no man can with confidence say that our days of the week this day are the specific days of the week from Exodus when the law was given to keep the Sabbath.

Dan 7:25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.

In our Roman terminology, Saturday is the Sabbath. Sunday is the First Day.

I just got this from a net search

I hope all this hasn't already been covered, I haven't read through the posts yet.

I think if you do some research you will indeed find that days have been added and subtracted from the "Official" calendars over the centuries. What I also have found is that the cycle of days has never been broken. For instance, when The British Calendar Act of 1751 added eleven days, the day after Wednesday the second became Thursday the fourteenth etc.,etc. The seven day cycle remained the same.
