There seems to be an ongoing debate about which day the sabbath is. I'm told it is Sunday, and then when I go do research, a good majority of it says Saturday. Now I'm having question marks bouncing around my head because I don't know whos right and whos wrong. If Jesus took the law with him to the cross, wouldn't that take away the sabbath? Or actually no wait... If the entire 10 commandments still apply to Christians, then why is the sabbath still Saturday? Isn't it Sunday? I am literally confused.
The Israelites received a double portion of mana for the 7th day for 40 years in the wilderness, so they knew on which day God rested, they have been keeping it ever since, and the day that they have been keeping corresponds to Friday at sundown to Saturday at sundown.
Jesus did not take any laws with him to the cross. In Titus 2:14, it does not say that he gave himself to free us from any laws, but in order to redeem us from all Lawlessness. In regard to Colossians 2:14, whenever someone was crucified, the people would write out a sign that listed the charges that were against them and nail it to their cross in order to announce why they were being executed (Matthew 27:37). This served as a perfect analogy for the list of our violations of God's Law being nailed to the cross and with him dying in our place to pay the penalty for our sin, but has nothing to do with ending any of God's Laws, especially because they are all eternal (Psalms 119:160).
