Not your average Mormon
If I am observing every seventh day as a holy day, I believe God's pleased with my behavior, regardless of which day I use to start counting with. But if you see it differently , then you should definitely observe a Saturday Sabbath. (I believe God puts a great deal of stock in how much integrity we have in trying to live according to what our consciences tell us.) I just can't help but wonder if over the many thousands of years since God set forth that commandment, our calendars have been so accurate that we're actually worshiping on the seventh day anyway. It actually seems pretty unlikely to me that things haven't gotten messed up over the thousands of years since the Ten Commandments were given. For instance, did you know that as far back as the 6th century B.C. (when the Jews were being held captive by the Babylonians), the Babylonians would occasionally change the number of days in their week, probably to keep their calendars in sync with the phases of the moon. For example, sometimes they'd have three 7-day weeks and then follow it by a 8-day week. I can easily see how someone might think it was the last day of the week, and it was really the first. I don't know if that makes sense or not, but that's how I see it.It is an interesting idea that it does not matter to God which day we set aside to be different from the others. However, God already set aside one day. He worked six days and set aside the seventh. He did not say we should pick any day we want. He said remember the seventh.
