there is debate about which day of the week the sabbath is?? i've never heard any debate. just ignorance and people trying to correct it. the Bible is pretty clear about which day it is. i guess you could argue that it seems confusing to certain countries that consider Monday the first day of the week? because "weekends" are for rest...? but i'd hardly call that an 'argument'... Side: Yes.

We should. Amusingly do most so-called "christians" even know which day that is? Most of the ones i run into still think it's Sunday... however on that note, the Jewish take on "keeping Sabbath" was a bit flawed as corrected by the Word of God: Matthew 12 New American Standard Bible (NASB) Sabbath Questions 12 At that [a]time Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath, and His disciples became hungry and began to pick the heads of grain and eat. 2 But when the Pharisees saw this, they said to Him, “Look, Your disciples do what is not lawful to do on a Sabbath.” 3 But He said to them, “Have you not read what David did when he became hungry, he and his companions, 4 how he entered the house of God, and they ate the [b]consecrated bread, which was not lawful for him to eat nor for those with him, but for the priests alone? 5 Or have you not read in the Law, that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple [c]break the Sabbath and are innocent? 6 But I say to you that something greater than the temple is here. 7 But if you had known what this [d]means, ‘I desire [e]compassion, and not a sacrifice,’ you would not have condemned the innocent. Lord of the Sabbath 8 For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.” 9 Departing from there, He went into their synagogue. 10 And a man was there whose hand was withered. And they questioned [f]Jesus, asking, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”—so that they might accuse Him. 11 And He said to them, “What man [g]is there among you who [h]has a sheep, and if it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will he not take hold of it and lift it out? 12 How much more valuable then is a man than a sheep! So then, it is lawful to do [i]good on the Sabbath.” 13 Then He *said to the man, “Stretch out your hand!” He stretched it out, and it was restored to [j]normal, like the other. 14 But the Pharisees went out and [k]conspired against Him, as to how they might destroy Him. Side: Yes.
