Look, if you want to observe the Sabbath on Saturday, that's fine with me, and I'm sure it's fine with God. If I want to observe it on Sunday, I'd appreciate your keeping your condemnation of my doing so to yourself. Thank you for caring, but I already have heard the word, and I am already blessed beyond measure.
You are confused, scripturally, and even about your own (LDS) material, in what it says:
"
God’s Laws Remain Constant
“Although the world has changed,
the laws of God remain constant. They have
not changed;
they will not change. The Ten Commandments are just that—commandments. They are not suggestions. They are
every bit as requisite today as they were when God gave them to the children of Israel. If we but listen, we hear the echo of God’s voice, speaking to us here and now. …
“Our code of conduct is definitive; it is not negotiable. It is
found not only
in the Ten Commandments but also in the Sermon on the Mount, given to us by the Savior when He walked upon the earth. It is found throughout His teachings. It is found in the words of modern revelation.
“Our Father in Heaven is
the same yesterday, today, and forever. The prophet Mormon tells us that God is ‘unchangeable from all eternity to all eternity’ [Moroni 8:18]. In this world where nearly everything seems to be changing, His constancy is something on which we can rely, an anchor to which we can hold fast and be safe, lest we be swept away into uncharted waters.”" [Words of the Prophet -President Thomas S. Monson; LDS.org] -
Words of the Prophet
According to the official stance taken by the LDS church, from the official LDS.org website:
"
The Ten Commandments are eternal gospel principles that are necessary for our exaltation. The
Lord revealed them to Moses in ancient times (see Exodus 20:1–17), and they
are also referenced in whole or in part in other books of scripture (see Matthew 19:18–19; Romans 13:9; Mosiah 12:33–36; 13:13–24; D&C 42:18–29; 59:5–13; 63:61–62).
The Ten Commandments are a vital part of the gospel. Obedience to these commandments paves the way for obedience to other gospel principles. " [LDS.org, Ten Commandments] -
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
Notice, the offical LDS.org site, cites
Exodus 20:1-17, and let us see what it says in
Exodus 20:8-11 [from LDS.org; classic, or check with Internet Archives WayBack Machine for the older version of the website]:
"8 Remember
the {a} sabbath day, to keep it {b} holy.
9 {a} Six days shalt thou {b} labour, and do all thy work:
10 But
the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy {a} stranger that is within thy gates:
11 For in {a} six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested
the seventh day: wherefore the Lord {b}
blessed the sabbath day, and {c}
hallowed it." [4th Commandment; LDS.org] –
Exodus 20 or
Scriptures
Ex 20:8 [Notation] -
“the {a} sabbath day” - “HEB stopping, cessation, rest (from labor). See Ex. 31:17. TG Sabbath.” Ex. 31:17 given as “17 It 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.”
Ex. 20:9 [Notation] - “{a} Six days” - “Ex. 35:2.” - Ex. 35:2 given as “2 Six days shall work be done, but
on the seventh day there shall be to you
an holy day, a sabbath of rest to the Lord: whosoever doeth work therein shall be put to death.”
Ex. 20:11 [Notation] - “For
in {a} six days” - “Ex. 31:17; Moses 2:31 (24–31).” Ex. 31:17 given as “17 It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and

Ex. 20:11 [Notation] -
“{b} blessed the sabbath day” - “Gen. 2:3 (1–3); Mosiah 13:19; D&C 77:12; Moses 3:3.” Gen. 2:3 (1-3) given as “1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. 2 And
on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and
he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. 3 And
God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.”; [LDS Book of Mormon] Mosiah 13:19 given as “19 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is; wherefore
the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.”; [LDS Doctrine & Covenants] D&C 77:12; [LDS Book of Mormon] Moses 3:3 given as “3 And I,
God, blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it; because that in it I had rested from all my work which I, God, had created and made.”
Ex. 20:11 [Notation] -
“and {c} hallowed it.” - “OR sanctified or consecrated.”
Notice which Day that LDS.org officially cites from Scripture
Exodus 20:8-11.
The 7th Day, the Sabbath of the LORD thy God, ... unchangeable, constant, as the Character of God, Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today and forever... I change not...
Again notice, from official LDS.org:
"
The Lord personally gave counsel to his children regarding the importance and sacredness of the Sabbath day.
He said, “Remember
the sabbath day, to
keep it holy.
“Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
“But
the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
“For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested
the seventh day: wherefore
the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.” (Ex. 20:8–11.)
The Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it, and he has asked us to
remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. It is a day for spiritual thought and growth; a day to meet with the saints and to partake of the sacrament; a special hallowed day to read the words of God as recorded in his sacred scriptures.
Fathers who disrespect that which God hallowed and fail to keep the Sabbath day holy will generally pass this sin on to their posterity.
It is a sin to unhallow that which God hath hallowed. Keeping the Sabbath day holy has a hallowing effect on the soul of man, and love for God and his commandments is increased."
[The Ten Commandments; Elder Bernard P. Brockbank; Assistant to the Council of the Twelve] -
The Ten Commandments
Another:
"B.
The Sabbath day was
changed in the meridian dispensation.
“The Church
accepts Sunday as the Christian
Sabbath and proclaims the sanctity of the day. We admit without argument that under the Mosaic law
the seventh day of the week, Saturday, was designated and observed as the holy day, and that the change from Saturday to Sunday was a
feature of the apostolic administration following the personal ministry of Jesus Christ. Greater than the question of this day or that in the week is the actuality of the weekly Sabbath, to be observed as a day of special and particular devotion to the service of the Lord” (James E. Talmage, The Articles of Faith, 449)."-
http://www.lds.org/manual/doctrines...-27-the-law-of-the-sabbath?lang=kor&clang=eng
Notice that what they say in one place is perpetual, unalterable, and a sin to unhallow, in another place is somehow 'changed' and 'accepted' [not by Jesus they say, but by the church], but
they cannot place exactly where, for no such example or commandment in scripture exists for it to be so changed.
The argumentation of an 'apostolic' change after Jesus, is Roman Catholic doctrine...
If I asked the elder, or ward bishop, or stake president, or one or all of the quorum of seventy, or yet higher still in the congregation of LDS, including the LDS president [prophet], would any of them tell me that they could not be sure which day is the "first [day] of the week" is? How then can
“the 7th”, be “the first”???, how can that which is made
“Holy” by God, be altered, changed and accepted by men???
Which day does the LDS congregation celebrate "Easter"? Which day does the LDS congregation officially recognize as the day of the resurrection? They say it is the “first day of the week”, and not the 7th Day...
"The
Savior was ...
resurrected. The New Testament contains several accounts testifying that He rose from the tomb (see
Matthew 28:1-8; Mark 16:1-14; Luke 24:1-48; John 20:1-29; 1 Corinthians 15:1-8; 2 Peter 1:16-17)." -
Resurrection
Therefore, the LDS.org clearly demonstrates which day is
"the seventh day" [aka "Saturday"] and which day is the
"first [day] of the week" [aka "Sunday"], and the two shall ever be separate, for
the 7th Day is Holy, and the first is not...
