Well by the Lord Christ saying that He is the Lord of the sabbath then it is the lords day but if you wish to live by law then christ to you is nullified then there is no more remission of sins if you observe the sabbath as the law says then you are a debtor of the whole law but if you observe the law as christ had set by example then you are a faithful stewart

Well, there you have it. Proof!!
Someone on the internet cited the "Catholic Record" from September 17, 1893. I've never heard of the Catholic record, have you?
Stuff like this shows the serious lack of critical thinking skills that go into being an SDA. The quote is absolutely useless. The "Catholic Record" is not a thing. Maybe it original referred to something like the "Baltimore Catholic Record" or "Los Angeles Catholic Record" or some other obscure piece of literature. Why on Earth would you quote an obscure article from an obscure publication no one has access to and really doesn't matter.
It's like me quoting a post on the internet. Who cares?

Question: Which is the Sabbath day?
Answer: Saturday is the Sabbath day.
Question: Why do we observe Sunday instead of Saturday?
Answer: We observe Sunday instead of Saturday because the Catholic Church transferred the solemnity from Saturday to Sunday.” -Rev. Peter Geiermann C.SS.R., The Convert’s Catechism of Catholic Doctrine, p. 50
There is tons of support for the papacy changing the seventh day Sabbath to the first. Unlocking Bible Prophecy

No, that's what SDAs teach because they were a miserable failure in the 19th Century. Their group predicted in the end of the world twice and failed. They were about to scatter, so they adopted two ideas: 1) Christians should celebrate on Saturday 2) Hate Catholics, which was really popular at the time due to immigration.
Christians gathered on Sunday since the time of the NT. What people forget is that Christians were Jews... meaning, they saw themselves as Jews and practiced as Jews. They did not go to the Jewish synagogue one day and then join the Church the next. They belonged to both. They went to both at the same time.
Eventually they were kicked out of the temples, so they added the temple aspects of the new Christian aspects.

Sabbath has to do with a day of atonement a day of rest. The number seven is far less important than the purpose of the day.
God rested on the seventh day. God established the Sabbath as the day of atonement and a day of rest. There is nothing scriptural about the requiring the day of atonement be the seventh day of the week.
Jesus warned of worshipping the Sabbath instead of the God of the Sabbath. Human nature and a couple millennia and look what we have. Folks looking down their collective noses at other folks because of a day. Go figure.
Christ is our Sabbath. Christ is our day of atonement. Christ is our day of rest. No individual day of the week is so special that it influences our eternal destiny.
