Supporting arguments
The Sabbath should be observed on Saturday, rather than Sunday. Christians should also respect the laws restricting work and other behaviors on the Sabbath as described in the Old Testament. This is commanded by God, and confirmed throughout the Bible. [1]
Opposing arguments
The Sabbath as described in the Old Testament is a Jewish tradition. The Christian holy day is properly observed on Sunday, and Christians do not need to strictly observe any prohibition on work on Sundays. [2]
The Sabbath observance commanded by God in Exodus 20 is part of a covenant with the nation of Israel. This covenant was replaced in the New Testament. [3]
