except for the celebration of Sunday as the Lord's Day Another tender spot. Another celebration Christ (or his disciples) didn't celebrate. I know , I know they met on the first day of the week (as well as other days of the week). If Christ is our example - why don't we follow His example? What day is the Lords Day pray tell? Hint see Mark 2:28. Also I understand the change from Sabbath to Sunday was early on in the churches history. With no Biblical reason. If we love Him - we should do what? Hint John 14:15.

Colossians 2:14-17 -
"Blotting out the handwriting of the decree that was against us, which was contrary to us. And he hath taken the same out of the way, fastening it to the cross. And despoiling the principalities and powers, he hath exposed them confidently in open shew, triumphing over them in himself. Let no man therefore judge you in meat or in drink, or in respect of a festival day, or of the new moon, or of the sabbaths, which are a shadow of things to come, but the body is of Christ.""Festivals, new moons, and sabbaths were the three kinds of feast days of the Mosaic calendar (see Neh. 10:33, Lev. 23, Num. 29:6). Paul thus states that the whole Jewish festal calendar, sabbath days included, is not binding on Christians." (James Akin, Catholic Answers)

Also I understand the change from Sabbath to Sunday was early on in the churches history. With no Biblical reason. Given that the change was made by some of the same men who wrote your New Testament, it seems rather silly to defer to them in print and not defer to their authority in person.
Then again your New Testament was canonized by a church which had been celebrating Easter and worshipping on Sunday for about three centuries, and that doesn't seem to bother you.
