Why Do Christians Go To Church On Sunday And Not The Sabbath(Saturday) Day by dennisworld1(m): 9:37am On Nov 19, 2017
A person's decision concerning sabbath observance probably hinges on the question of how we view the entire Old Testament. If all of it is still binding on us, then so is the sabbath. If there are parts that are no longer binding because they were directed specifically to the Jewish nation, or because they were for ritual purposes, then the sabbath is open for discussion. Only some few churches like seven days Adventist still worship on Saturday

Because Jesus resurrected on the first day of the week and the early church gathered on the first day of the week in celebration and remembrance of the resurrection. This is evident throughout the book of Acts ( 1 Cor. 16:2 and Acts 20:7). Acts 20:7 is the clearest verse in the New Testament which indicates that Sunday was the normal meeting day of the apostolic church

Sabbat start form sunset Friday to sunset Saturday

Christians worship on Sundays in celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is very important to remember, though, Sunday worship is not commanded in the Bible, and Sunday has not replaced Saturday and become the Christian Sabbath. While the New Testament describes Christians gathering and worshipping on Sundays, it nowhere states that Sunday has replaced Saturday as the Sabbath. They key point in all of this is that we are not to limit our worship to any particular day of the week. We are to rest in the Lord every day. We are to worship the Lord every day. And so
in Mark 2:27
And he said to them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath. The sabbath day is not for punishment as God never design it as a burden. It was instituted for the good of mankind.

Saturday is for the ancient religion Judaism while Sunday is for the new religion Christianity. the Jews practice to Judaism while Jesus brought Christianity to life through the holy Eucharist. I'm speaking in terms of a Catholic

He is not. The only difference between Judaism and Christianity is that they don't believe in Jesus Christ, only in God and they follow the laws of Moses, while we follow the laws of Jesus Christ.

Read Joshua 10:12-14 and you will know why.

The reason is simple and that because after Joshua suspended the sun and the moon for 24hrs in order to win a battle, a day was minus; the calendar was altered as a result and Sabbath then fall on on a Sunday.

"On the day the Lord gave the Amorites over to Israel, Joshua said to the Lord in the presence of Israel:

“Sun, stand still over Gibeon, and you, moon, over the Valley of Aijalon.”So the sun stood still, and the moon stopped, till the nation avenged itself on[a] its enemies, as it is written in the Book of Jashar.
The sun stopped in the middle of the sky and delayed going down about a full day." Joshua 10:12-13

Imagine Joshua made that statement on a Friday because he didn't want to fight on a Sabbath day (Saturday) in order to keep it holy. So those going to church on a Sunday are actually the one keeping the Sabbath day and not those on a Saturday if you do the math.
