Questions for Christians about the Christian concept of God

So you're saying PEOPLE celebrate it on Sunday because Jesus resurrected, but GOD told the people Saturday should be holy, right? and you're choosing and supporting the people side of the issue?

But it wasn't God who told the people, it was Moses. No one had ever heard God speak, but Christians believed that when Jesus spoke and acted it was God speaking, therefore anything he said was what God said. No one is picking the people's side. Jesus distinctly allowed work to be done on the Sabbath, therefore Christians allow work to be done on the Sabbath.

^ what you talking about? in genesis, it says god rested on the 7th day and made it the holy day for years to come etc.
and yea people could work if it's necessary, but what about all the other unholy things we do on saturdays?

All I'M talking about is that Jesus's words are more important than Moses's to Christians. And technically all the unholy things we ever do an any day are wrong, but for Orthodox Jews on the Sabbath, and for Christians on Sunday at one point, doing any work is not supposed to happen. Now it's different, but if you go back a couple thousand years no Jew was willingly working on the Sabbath, or at least they weren't supposed to.

Now my question to you is, if god nor jesus did not pronounce Sunday as the worship day, why is it that we follow a man made holy day?
