According to Colossians, there appears to be some disagreement amongst the first century church on *whether* to keep the Sabbath:
> Colossians 2:16

> Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a **Sabbath day**.
Did the first century church keep the Sabbath?
And if so which day was it on? The Jewish Saturday or the new Christian Sunday?
