Most Christians celebrate Sunday because Christ rose from the dead on SUNDAY . The Holy Spirit descended on the apostles on SUNDAY.

Yes, but like I asked in a previous post, does this mean we don't have to follow the 10 commandments?

Also, in the very early days, Christian Jews used the synagogues , in some places to meet on Sunday.

Is this is in the Bible somewhere?

"Yes, but like I asked in a previous post, does this mean we don't have to follow the 10 commandments?"

We must follow the 10 commandments, but it is important to understand the spiritual signifigance of the Law. Christ is not only the fulfillment of Scripture, but also the fulfillment of the Law. The Law in the OT were types and shadows of things to come. They pointed to Christ. The sacrificing at the temple pointed to Christ's sacrifice on the Cross. The feasts pointed to Christ. The distinction of clean and unclean foods pointed to Christ. As Christ says in Mark, the Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. The Sabbath was made so that man could rest from work. It was meant as a day of rest. This was the 7th day of the week, as God rested on the 7th day during creation. So the question is, should we still observe the Sabbath? Let's preface this with another question. Should we still make sacrifices to God for our sin?? Should we still abstain from meat of unclean animals?? The answer to these is no, but they are clearly in the Law. The reason the answer is no, is because Christ is the fulfillment of the Law. So in these areas he has completely fulfilled the law as to do away with them. He is the perfect sacrifice, so there is no need to make sacrifices for our sin, because they are covered by the Blood of Christ. We no longer need to abstain from meat of unclean animals, because Christ has made it so there is now no more distinction between Jews and Gentiles. We all can have access to the Father through Him. The Gentiles are no longer unclean, but clean in Christ. The same may be applied to the Sabbath. We are now at rest in Christ. Our Sabbath is in Christ. He is our rest. We observe Sunday as the Lord's Day, but we are now at rest in our Lord.
