Biblically speaking, the Sabbath is on Saturday. Anyone marking the Sabbath on Sunday is playing into the hands of the Antichrist. [Spirituality & Religion]

Did Jesus alter the day of the Sabbath? I don't remember him doing that. I remember him telling folks to calm down a bit. Like if your animal is stuck in hole on the Sabbath you can go ahead and work to get it out lol. But i don't recall him changing the day.
@Pikachu He didn't specifically, but between His statements that the Sabbath was not absolute and the greater theological importance of His resurrection than the specific day of the week God decided it was time for Him to take a break, the change is defensible.
Unless he himself made the change then i don't think it [i]is[/i] defensible. Maybe Jesus had the authority to change the Sabbath but humans certainly don't have the authority to change it on his behalf whether they think his resurrection takes precedence or not.
@Pikachu In general I'd say no, but He invested His 12 disciples and by extension those who shared the Pentecost with them with some rather broad authority on any point of doctrine which He hadn't specifically laid out explicitly.
