They believe you must keep the 10 commandments in order to enter into the presence of God. And they are very strict with Sabbath, also---except it is on Sunday.

Abraham 5: 3
Now some, inspite of their own writings, say this:
Another:
"B.
The Sabbath day was changed in the meridian dispensation.
“The Church
accepts Sunday as the Christian Sabbath and proclaims the sanctity of the day.
We admit without argument that under the Mosaic law the seventh day of the week, Saturday, was designated and observed as the holy day, and that
the change from Saturday to Sunday was a feature of the apostolic administration following the personal ministry of Jesus Christ. Greater than the question of this day or that in the week is the actuality of the weekly Sabbath, to be observed as a day of special and particular devotion to the service of the Lord” (James E. Talmage, The Articles of Faith, 449)."-

Notice that what the LDS scriptures and prophets say is perpetual, unalterable, and a sin to unhallow, in another place is somehow 'changed' and 'accepted' [not by Jesus they say, but by the church], but they
cannot place exactly where in history this took place, for no such example or commandment in scripture exists for it to be so changed, and even the passages of Jarom it denies any such change.
The argumentation of an 'apostolic' change after Jesus, is Roman Catholic doctrine... and I was born into and raised Roman Catholic for 30 years and I can officially cite their position ...
... it seems certain men (Jesuits) have crept in unawares ...
LDS, who are you loyal to? Man or God. Time to search the scriptures with all your heart.
If I asked the elder, or ward bishop, or stake president, or one or all of the quorum of seventy, or yet higher still in the congregation of LDS, including the LDS president [prophet], would any of them tell me that they could not be sure which day is the
"first [day] of the week" according to the Bible is? How then can
“the 7th”, be
“the first”???, how can that which is made “Holy” by God, be altered, changed and accepted by men???
"...the first day of the week, Sunday..." –

Which day does the LDS congregation celebrate "Easter"? Which day does the LDS congregation officially recognize as the day of the resurrection? They say it is the
“first day of the week”, and
not the 7th Day, as the LDS scripture say to keep...
"
The Savior was ... resurrected. The New Testament contains several accounts testifying that He rose from the tomb
(see Matthew 28:1-8; Mark 16:1-14; Luke 24:1-48; John 20:1-29; 1 Corinthians 15:1-8; 2 Peter 1:16-17)." -
Resurrection
Therefore, the official LDS scriptures clearly demonstrates which day is
"the seventh day",
the true Lord's Day, and which day is the
"first [day] of the week", and the two shall ever be separate, for the 7th Day is Holy, and the first is not...
It can be traced from Now till Jesus and back to creation.
What will those who follow truth do? Will they brush it aside, or will they begin a reformation, beginning with themselves.
Is it right to unhallow the 7th day, the day God rested and to hallow another? I follow truth. I follow Christ Jesus, John 14:6, 14:15; Exodus 20:6.
What man, or group of men, can say contrary to God's demonstration from Creation?
