I took this challenge and went to the Greek Lexicon. I was doing research on the word Sabbath and I amazed myself by what I found. The New Testament does in fact teach that the Sabbath did get changed from the end of the week to the first of the week. Four verses: Matthew 28:1, Mark 16:2, Luke 14:1 and John 20:1. The link to the challenge has been disabled by me. The man I conversed with didn't want to accept the findings from the Greek Lexicon and kept insisting that I need to repent. When I would not bite he cut me off and asked me to not email him any further. For me the money was never the issue, only to correct an albeit error in translation.
Here are my findings:

Matthew 28:1


In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre. (KJV)

http://bible.cc/matthew/28-1.htm


This verse is incorrectly translated, as indicated by the Greek Lexicon the word σαββατων or Sabbath is written in two positions the 3rd word and the 8th word. So first day of the week is not correctly translated. It should translate the first New Sabbath

Greek Lexicon
οψε δε σαββατων τη επιφωσκουση εις μιαν σαββατων ηλθεν μαρια η μαγδαληνη και η αλλη μαρια θεωρησαι τον ταφον

In the end +__ of the sabbath as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre


σαββατων of Hebrew origin (shabbath); the Sabbath (i.e. Shabbath), or day of weekly repose from secular avocations (also the observance or institution itself); by extension, a se'nnight, i.e. the interval between two Sabbaths; likewise the plural in all the above applications

sabbath (day), week.

So in Matt 28:1, both times the word sabbath must be translated sabbaths, and then we can see exactly what it is God had in veiw when he placed this statement in the Bible. Literally this verse should read, "At the end of the sabbaths, as it began to dawn toward the New sabbath...

Mark 16:2
http://bible.cc/mark/16-2.htm

Greek Lexicon
και λιαν πρωι της μιας σαββατων ερχονται επι το μνημειον ανατειλαντος του ηλιου

And very early in the morning the first day of the week they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun
Again this should be translated: And very early in the morning the first New Sabbath...


Luke 24:1
