Time is short while at work, so, to quote myself in response to your posting of this same article on another thread:

Well, no one denies that the Church “changed” things to Sunday. The problem for you is that the process was well underway even in apostolic times, and the end game for the Judaizers was in the mid-Second Century. The Judaizers were overruled by a Church that had the self-awareness of the authority to do so. In any event, your article is off by a couple hundred years with regard to these changes. They had already been moot by the time of Constantine. Contrary to the article’s slant, except for a few highly isolated holdouts, no one held to your peculiar take on Sabbaths and festivals by the early 300’s. The movement became extinct. SDA authors are not noted for any real scholarship in their histories of these things, and this article’s “hero” is no exception.
For you to be correct on this issue of Sabbaths and festivals, you must show how a God who promises to care for and guide His Church “all days till the end of the age” failed to so guide the Church in this matter, and continued in this failure for no less than 1700 years (if you include the few isolated holdouts; if you don’t it’s closer to 1900 years) until the mid-20th Century, when the neo-Judaizer groups like yours first saw the light of day. If you cannot credibly explain this away, then your case is conclusively demonstrated to be very unsound.
