I have heard the Pope changed it, and then I have heard some people say no the Pope didn't. Does anyone really know why it was changed and by who?

Adam's Rib the Bible does not say that all the commandments are done away with except for two. It means those are the two greatest commandments and if you obey those you should follow all the others just by obeying those two.
Look in Matthew 22:35-40

Man cannot change God's law - the Catholic church claims to have had the authority to change it. Constantine wanted to join the pagans and Christians together and used their holy day to worship the sun. He marched his soldeirs through the river and said they were all baptized and all Christians. For many years Christians kept two days Sabbath and Sunday. Sabbath is the seventh day of the week and Sunday is the first. Ex. 20 check out www.3abn.org

2 reasons:
1. To distance themselves from the Jews after being thrown out of the Temple in 70 CE (that is when historians began to note the first Sunday Sabbath observances)
2. Most of the pagan religions celebrated on Sundays it was to counteract them to ensure Christians did not keep Pagan worship rituals (this came as Christianity grew).
Paul in romans said: One man considers one day more sacred then another and an Colossians do let anyone judge you in regards to religious festival. Although not official until the 300's it is repeatedly talked about Paul preaching on a Sunday morning.

The need for The change is still a moot point; God was said in Genesis to have rested on the 7th day of creation. In actuality God hasn't rested yet because he is still creating. Look at the Hubble pictures of the "heavens" with stars being formed out of nebulous gases all over the sky!

Even as early as the church in the book of Acts Christians have been gathering together on Sundays. They would do this to worship, fellowship, etc... Why I'm not exactly sure, but it has something to do with the fact that it was on a Sunday that Christ rose from the grave.

Jason is right, it was done by the early Christians since they got together to commemorate the Eucharistic meal and chose Sunday being the day that Christ rose from the Dead.

it was changed because many many yrs ago someone decided it would be o.k. to change the law of god to fit mans purpose and worship on the first day of the week. Many heathens worshipd the sun on sunday anyway so they figured lets just make sunday a day of worship altogether. I personally worship on sat. because man did not have the right to change the holy day God did not change it man did and to fit His needs not Gods so SAbbath was not changed, just mans day of worship I

about the year 300 a.d. when the roman emporer(who was a pagen) formed what is known as the roman catholic church, he change the sabbath to sunday so other pagens would be more easily converted. since sunday is the day of the sun god. but he didn't convert till he was on his death bed.

I would have to agree with you on that. The Pope at the time thinking he was just big ****, changed it.

Constantine changed it to get the people together and to stand away from the Jews

I think it was a guy named Dave. He belonged to a cricket league that played tests on Saturday making it difficult to meet his religious obligations.
