In reply to:
[color:"blue"]but I believe the answer is because the Roman Catholic church, by her supposed authority, changed it from Friday evening through Saturday evening (the 7th day), to Sunday.

Steve,

Can you show me where in either Exodus 20:8-11 or Deuteronomy 5:12-15, Saturday is said to be "the Sabbath"? The N.T. Church, however, understood the essence of the Moral Law as taught in the Decalogue and had no trouble changing the "day" on which they met and yet not violate the Fourth Commandment one iota. If you haven't read Jonathan Edwards' second sermon in his 3-part series, I would commend it to you as it deals specifically with the "change" of the day from that observed by the old covenant and theocratic Saturday, to the new covenant and universal church's Sunday; i.e., "The Lord's Day".

In His Grace,
