Lots of people reading these posts are all upset over people who talk about Saturday as the best day for the Sabbath. They say it is preaching and we should put our money where our mouth is.
Most of the people speaking for Saturday are simply reporting on scripture, and most us who prefer Saturday because it follows scripture best have to fight an entire world of using Sunday for worship if we change ours to fit scripture, even most of our churches. Most of us stand back open mouthed that the world decided this and dig into history books to find how, why, and when. We find it wasn't from scripture at all, except that Mary discovered the tomb empty on Sunday. That isn't scripture saying to change the day God designated as Sabbath, there were other very fleshly reasons.
So we tell you what scripture says, and even though scripture tells people to let us alone about it, we are labeled with the same voice infliction "nigger" used to be used in the 60's. I wonder if the people working for Sunday so hard would like to erase lots of scripture! They would have to erase the seventh day of creation, wonder how it would work to have God erase a whole day of creation?

Heb 4:1-11
Therefore, while the promise of entering His rest still holds and is offered [today], let us be afraid [[a]to distrust it], lest any of you should[b]think he has come too late and has come short of [reaching] it.
2 For indeed we have had the glad tidings [Gospel of God] proclaimed to us just as truly as they [the Israelites of old did when the good news of deliverance from bondage came to them]; but the message they heard did not benefit them, because it was not mixed with faith (with [c]the leaning of the entire personality on God in absolute trust and confidence in His power, wisdom, and goodness) by those who heard it; [d]neither were they united in faith with the ones [Joshua and Caleb] who heard (did believe).
3 For we who have believed (adhered to and trusted in and relied on God) do enter that rest, [e]in accordance with His declaration that those [who did not believe] should not enter when He said, As I swore in My wrath, They shall not enter My rest; and this He said although [His] works had been completed and prepared [and waiting for all who would believe] from the foundation of the world.
4 For in a certain place He has said this about the seventh day: And God rested on the seventh day from all His works.
5 And [they forfeited their part in it, for] in this [passage] He said, They shall not enter My rest.
6 Seeing then that the promise remains over [from past times] for some to enter that rest, and that those who formerly were given the good news about it and the opportunity, failed to appropriate it and did not enter because of disobedience,
7 Again He sets a definite day, [a new] Today, [and gives another opportunity of securing that rest] saying through David after so long a time in the words already quoted, Today, if you would hear His voice and when you hear it, do not harden your hearts.
8 [This mention of a rest was not a reference to their entering into Canaan.] For if Joshua had given them rest, He [God] would not speak afterward about another day.
9 So then, there is still awaiting a full and complete Sabbath-rest reserved for the [true] people of God;
10 For he who has once entered [God’s] rest also has ceased from [the weariness and pain] of human labors, just as God rested from those labors[f]peculiarly His own.
11 Let us therefore be zealous and exert ourselves and strive diligently to enter that rest [of God, to know and experience it for ourselves], that no one may fall or perish by the same kind of unbelief and disobedience [into which those in the wilderness fell].
