Fourth Commandment:
"Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant, nor your animals, nor the alien within your gates. For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy. Exodus 20:8-12 NIV
Ok. Simple question. What is the first day of the week? Look at your calendar. Sunday is the first day of the week. Now look at the seventh day of the week on your calendar. What is it? Saturday. Yes, my friends, Saturday is the seventh day of the week in which the lord rested from his work. In Genisis it says that "By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done." Genesis 2:2-3 NIV.
So, why do we worship on sunday? I don't know, but the bible says otherwise. God says otherwise, since the bible is his word. I am a Seventh Day Adventist and my religion worships God on Saturday. Our religion is one of I think three religions that worship God on Saturday.

Adventist Beliefs
As a Christian church, Seventh-day Adventists are a faith community rooted in the beliefs described by the Holy Scriptures
God's greatest desire is for you to see a clear picture of His character. When you see Him clearly, you will find His love irresistible.
Scripture is a road map. The Bible is God's voice, speaking His love personally to you today.
Jesus is the one who never changes in a universe that always does. Jesus is Creator, Sustainer, Saviour, Friend, God's Son, and God Himself!
God's vision for you is life as He lives it! God loves you, and wants to give you the highest quality of life imaginable.
In the heart of God is a place you can experience as home. God loves you, and wants to spend time with you personally, one on one, as two close friends.
God's love is about you. Personally.
Salvation? God cleans away all our sins and replaces them with His goodness. We don't have to be "good" for Him to accept us. Nevertheless, we must accept His promise and allow Him to clean out everything the enemy has left in us. Then we begin to experience the transforming power of His love. It's like a giant war: one side pulling us toward empty pleasure and destruction, and God urging us to accept His offer of peace and purpose.
Remember, Jesus has already won the war. He is victorious! We celebrate His victory in our lives when we participate in the Lord's Supper. This meal includes three symbols:
* Foot washing (which symbolizes our commitment to love others as Jesus loves us),
* bread ("This bread is my flesh," Jesus said, "which I will give for the life of the world," John 6:51, NIV), and
* wine or grape juice ("Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life." John 6:54, NIV)
To help us understand how God can transform us into His children, Jesus modeled the process of baptism for us. Baptism symbolized dying to self and coming alive in Jesus. Seventh-day Adventists practice full immersion baptism because by being fully buried beneath the water we symbolize that God's grace fully fills us with His new life for the future. Through baptism we are truly born again in Jesus.
Eternal life, peace, purpose, forgiveness, transforming grace, hope: Everything He promises is ours, because He's offering it and He's shown we can trust Him to do exactly as He promises. Accept His gifts, and you immediately become an active part of His family, and He joyfully becomes part of yours.
