Exactly! By the letter of the law, we are not to worry about any day. Saturday, sunday, or otherwise is but a shadow of things to come. But God said:
Exodus 31:15-17
Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.
16Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant. 17It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.
This is forever to a God that does not change! Obeying the Sabbath is just as important as the other nine. This is not refering to one of our particular days, which is the image. This is referring to HIS day in the spirit. We must rest from our works!

There are some things that I don't understand about the Sabbath, but one thing I know is that in the Old Testament if you didn't keep it you would be put to death, just like if you committed adultery.....So don't you think that if it was still that important then were it says in 1 Corinthians 6:9 that the adulters, fornicators, effeminate, etc would not inherite the kingdom of God, it would have also included the non-Sabbath keepers. Just my thoughts.

Anyone here read colossians 2? 
Besides that, I believe that the 'day of rest' is prophetic... we will enter into God's Rest (the mellenium) for a 1000 years.. The Sabbath was primarily for the Jews. (my humble 2 cents)

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;
15And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
The ten commandments are moral laws of God and eternal. Not to murder is eternal as the other 10 as well.
But what part of the law was nailed to the cross?
Deuteronomy 31:24-27
And it came to pass, when Moses had made an end of writing the words of this law in a book, until they were finished,
25That Moses commanded the Levites, which bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, saying,
26Take this book of the law, and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, that it may be there for a witness against thee. 27For I know thy rebellion, and thy stiff neck: behold, while I am yet alive with you this day, ye have been rebellious against the LORD; and how much more after my death?
It was this part of the law that was nailed to the cross. It was placed on the side of the Ark because it was temporary (a school master) until Christ came.

That is very interesting. I have been studying that myself. Now turn to Mark 13:18. It states And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter. It is the exact same verse, but it does not say anything about the Sabbath. I had heard that Matthew was written with more emphasis toward the Jews and Mark was written with more emphasis toward, I think it was the Greeks. But I believe that the Jew will probably end up keeping the Sabbath and the end. Since they may still keep some of the Old Testament commandment for concience sake. Paul talked about doing things for conscience sake.. I don't know that is just something a had to think of. It also says in Matthew 19 that Moses let them put away their wives for the hardness of their hearts. Moses lead the Jews. But in Mark and Luke when it talks about divorce it gives no exception clauses.
but we know that the law is good, if one uses it lawfully, realizing the fact that the law is not made for the righteous man, but for those who are lawless and rebellious,..........
it does not matter what i think, i have heard from the spirit that i must walk by faith in his holiness as my holiness and his righteousness as my righteousness, and not the law.
