The Sabbath day did not move to Sunday. There is no scripture to back this.

As you recall, Christ came not to abolish the Law but to fulfill it.
Question: What does this mean?
What of all this below?
Mat 5:27
Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:

But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.

Mat 5:33
Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths:

Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.

Mat 5:45
That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
Mat 5:46
For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?

Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

Christ came to fulfill the law, not to abolish it.
Mat 5:17
Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
Mat 5:19
Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Mat 5:20
For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Mat 5:21
Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:
Mat 5:22
But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.

What of the Sabbath Day? Has it also been completed as the others? Is every day now our day to remember The Lord, our God? Do we not speak to Him as a father, a friend? Is Christ not our first love? Is it not promised to the faithful that God will dwell in their hearts? That He will dwell with us on Earth? Even on the New Earth, which is nothing like the former? Where Christ is the light?
Is it reasonable to believe that our treatment of the Sabbath Day should be the same? That we should consider every day as The Lord's day, since The Lord made all days? He made the Sun, Moon, and the lights above which we can discern the passing of time by. He made the earth and the sea. Every day is His and while we work and go about our affairs, do we not in this age, under the New Testament, think on our Father in Heaven? Do we not afford Him our prayers and thanksgiving?
I know I do my best to thank our Father in Heaven for every Sunrise, for every day.
Hello sister Zetetica, BIG welcome and so nice to meet you .
Correct sister you are right there is no scripture that says that God's 4th commandment is abolished and we are now commanded to keep Sunday as a Holy day. What do you think God's 4th commandments is saying *EXODUS 20:8-11?
Thanks for sharing your thoughts sister and nice to meet you.
God bless.
