The Church made that call when it switched the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday.
Some business are open on Sunday, what's your point here? People still work on somebody's sabbath.
Is the bible some sort of living document that we can update and change as necessary? It should.
Again, great, and who gets to make that call. I got it, let's have some formal organized religious body to interpret the meaning of the bible and base our laws and society on that with no appeal process. We can pattern this after... lets see now.... oh yeah, the Taliban, that's it!!!

When did Jesus, a practising Jew, make all foods "clean"? To my recollection, he only "stressed" that it is what comes out of one's mouth not what goes it that makes one unclean -- this doesn't imply all foods are clean (Jesus also said, that He came not to destroy the Law/Torah but to fulfill it).
Second, it was Constantine who decided to make the Christian Holy Day Sunday rather than Saturday (the true Shabbath according to the Torah/Old Testament) because he was also worshipping the Sun God and Sunday was its day.
