Constantine had a part to play in it, yes. However he wasn't the only person who instigated this change. Gradually, over time, Christians began to start worshiping on Sunday as a way to attract pagans to convert to Christianity. They worshiped the sun god on Sunday, and the Christians felt that if they started worshiping on Sunday, that it would draw more pagans into the church. However, this was just a ploy started by Satan to draw us away from God's true Sabbath, which He commanded us to keep on the seventh day, Saturday. God never changed the Sabbath, man did, and we must obey God rather than man.
Gen. 2:1-3; Ex. 20:8-11; Luke 4:16; Isa. 56:5, 6; 58:13, 14; Matt. 12:1-12; Ex. 31:13-17; Eze. 20:12, 20; Deut. 5:12-15; Heb. 4:1-11; Lev. 23:32; Mark 1:32.)

Constantine is the sabbatarians fall guy. the reality of the project is, Christians have been accumulating mutually on Sundays long until now Constantine. this finished "debate" is obfuscated via the declare that Christians have been before preserving the sabbath for the sake of communal worship, which isn't real. The sabbath exchange into stored via refraining from paintings on that day AT homestead. So even the early church, made up of Jewish and Gentile believers, met mutually on Sundays on a similar time as the Jewish Christians rested, preserving the sabbath, the day until now. initially Sunday exchange into purely used for communal worship and prayer, and not dealt with as an afternoon of relax. the hot covenant would not require the observance of days or a sabbath. .

No. Constantine was a pagan and could not change anything within Christianity at the time. He didn't make it the nations religion either... he merely made it a legal religion, recognized by Rome. The Catholic Church, when it gained a foothold, changed it in hopes of gaining more converts from the pagans. All of the talk of the "converts" that went to Christianity during that time is really rather silly, when history shows that many of the people "worshipping" in the churches were pagan as well.... they just didn't have anywhere else to go when the Church started taking over pagan shrines and erecting their own churches in their stead.

God defines the sabbath. It will always be Saturday.
But in the New Testament, it became the habit of the Christians to meet on Sunday rather than Saturday.
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 midnight."
Many were converting from Judaism; they likely went to temple on Saturday, then listened to Paul's teachings on Sundays. This was long before Constantine, however, it was him who made it "official" for the church.

# "Sundaykeeping was introduced into the Christian Church rather innocently, and its first advocates never dreamed that it would take the place of the seventh-day Sabbath of God. Sundaykeeping had its origin in Rome during the reign of the Emperor Hadrian in the second century. Hadrian persecuted the Jews in Rome incessantly. In an attempt to separate themselves from the Jews and avoid being persecuted with them, these early Roman Christians began keeping Sunday in addition to the Sabbath."
# Hadrian was Emperor of Rome (117-138 A.D.) THIS IS LONG BEFORE the first Pope.

That was a decision made by the Roman Church to show their contempt for the Jews, as they also promote to eat ham on Passover for the same reason. Sadly they overlooked the fact that Jesus was a Jew.

constantine, a pagan roman emperor, actually led a council that edited and re-compiled the bible, throwing out many (over 200) books.
they also voted on whether jesus was to be human or divine. prior to that, he was considered human; the vote was to make him divine, and thus, a cult icon. this was 300 years after the jesus-myth allegedly died.
