The thinking is that since Christ rose on the third day, Sunday is the new Sabbath. My problem is that while we go to Church on Sunday, we tend to work the rest of the day which is against the 9th commandment. I've been praying for clarity on this issue.

Clarity: The Sabbath day has not changed. It cannot be changed. It was sanctified forever from the beginning.

That is the truth. You've got one eye open. now have courage and open the other one. : )

Thank you for noting that the Sabbath is Saturday and always will be....Sunday is the first day of the week, and the Bible does declare that ‘whatever day a man honors unto the Lord, let him honor it.”

I think Sunday Church recognition as a Sabbath ‘day of rest’ came about from farms being so far from the Church and tithes were paid on the first day of the week, so it was easier to have services on the day the ‘first fruits’ were brought.
The distinction of that convenience was not taught to children and Sunday became accepted as the only Sabbath, when in reality it is Saturday....no matter what faith or denomination a person is....even the Resurrection of Christ is noted as being on ‘the first day of the week’.
In Judiasm that day begins at Sundown the evening before.

However, isn’t the Sabbath day a Jewish commandment? I realize that Jesus, when he mentions love thy neighbor..., he says that that is what the rest of the commandments are hung on. It’s too late and I’m too tired to find Christ’s actual quote.
