Yes, but how do we know the actual day God first created the heavens and earth? It could have been Tuesday.. therefore the sabbath day would be Monday. Wednesday first day, the following week's Tuesday would be last. Thursday first day Wednesday last day. Friday first day, Thursday last. Monday first day, Sunday last. Saturday first day, Friday last. Bottom line, we really don't know now do we?
Question is, when did the calendar come in, what based them to say Sunday is the first day of the week and Saturday the last?

Yes. The seventh day was Saturday. However, Christ was resurrected on Sunday, which is when Christianity began to worship on Sunday as the sabbath, I guess you could say to commemorate that sacred event.

No. When Christ died and rose from the dead, he fulfilled the customs of the old testament - He rose on the first day of the week and rested from His work on the first day, which makes Sunday the sabbath - not Saturday.
Hebrews 4:7-10 - Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts> 8 - For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day. 9 - There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. 10 - For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.
Acts 20:7 - And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until late midnight.
Those that believe it is from sunset Friday to sunset on Saturday still believe in the old customs BEFORE Christ's death. When Christ rose from the dead, he rose on the first day, thus, the first day, when he rested from his works is what is now observed as the sabbath.

That's right, technically, Saturday is the sabbath however, celebrating the sabbath on Sunday has become the accepted tradition. I don't believe that God is concerned about what day of the week we keep the sabbath on but rather that he is more concerned that we set one day a week aside to rest in the LORD.

The day of the week was changed due to the fact that Jesus rode from the dead on Sunday ( The first and real reason for Easter...Easter SUNDAY) As I understand it,the change was accepted by Jews at that time. Remember-the disciples were Jewish. The Holy Spirit also descended on a Sunday (Pentecost)

Friday at Sunset ++++.

I have the problem solved--- I keep EVERY DAY HOLY- and Worship HIM seven days a week.
Strictly speaking the word "Shabbot" in Hebrew means "rest". On the seventh day of the week of creation GOD rested---- HE was not tired-HE does not get tires. He "rested" --- or "arrested" - that is, stopped the series of creation----because IT WAS "ALL DONE", " FINISHED", ARRESTED!
I hope all peoples who keep the SHABBOT do it properly!
Do not flush their own toilets or tear their own toilet paper! FOR THAT IS WORK!
Only walk a few paces to the place of worship (one must live very close), don't drive a car, because turning the key and steering is WORK!
DO NOT let your cat or dog run loose! The animals too must observe!
OBSERVING ANY ONE OF THE 613 LEVITICAL LAWS PUTS YOU UNDER THEM ALL!
Tithing, An exact percentage of moneys to give - Keeping the Shabbot - No labour AT ALL allowed. DO NOT USE ELECTRICITY - because a person had to "work" to deliver that service to you. And on, and on, and on ---
Look up Mark 2:27 - it states that The SHABBOT is made for man-man was not made for the Shabbot.

You are correct. The Jews worshiped on Saturday. But when Jesus came and gave the "Last Supper" and the sacrament started and blood sacrifices ended, he had us meet on Sunday. For Sunday was the lord Ressurected and it became his day. We now worship on the Lord's Day, which is Sunday.

Every day is a holy day, according to some religion. Jews and Adventists-- Saturday. Muslims-- Friday. Hindus-- Monday, etc.
It doesn't really matter.

And you come to this conclusion because God had a calendar and decided on a Sunday to start creating? Oh, wait, there were no calendars, or days, or earth, or sun, when he started. The calendar is a creation of man, so cannot be used as a tool to determine the Sabbath.
