This reasoning has to be used, because there is not one word in the Bible to support this change. What about Christ's words? Matthew 5:17 says, "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil." For some reason there are many people in the Christian Church who have a hard time distinguishing between the moral law (Decalogue - Ten Commandments) and the ceremonial law (Law of Moses - handwriting of ordinances). Jesus fulfilled the ceremonial law. Colossians 2:14 says, "Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;" The moral law still stands. If you ask any Christian if it is okay to willfully violate any of the other nine commandments, the answer will be, "No! Certainly not!" Paul agrees in Romans 3:31, which says, "Do we then make void the law through faith? Certainly not! On the contrary, we establish the law." When the fourth commandment is brought up, there is a lot of fluff about how it was changed but no substance. There is no substance, because the Bible does not recognize or sanction the change. In Matthew 15:3 Jesus asks, "...Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?" It is the tradition of man that made the Sabbath change. It is also a tradition of man that will be the mark of the antichrist, a law of man in violation of one of God's commandments. Examples may be found in Daniel 3 and 6. Finally, Revelation 12:17 reads, "And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ." So, we see that God's end-time remnant people will be keeping all of God's commandments. Research this question with an open and honest heart. The answer is self-evident. God will not let you be misled. May the Lord bless you.

Jesus taught us to observe the sabbath but to do so by doing good works. He taught that the sabbath was made for man and not man for the sabbath.
