Answer to why they use Sunday as the Sabbath is because of the Roman Emperor Constanine 1; because he issued a cival decree making Sunday a day of rest from labor. I think, the Jewish way, is Friday evening to Saturday morning, I believe.
Genesis 1:5, states evening and morning were the 1 st day.
Sunday is the 1 st day of the week and today we count Morning to Evening, think about!
Saturday - evening to morning - = Sunday - day 1; eve to morn , = Monday 2 day evening to morn Tuesday = day 3 eveing to morn Wednesday = 4th day, eveing to morn Thursday = 5th day, evening to morn Friday = 6 th Day, evening to morning Saturday = 7 th day; eveing to morning Sunday 1 st day again. I hope I understand this right. In GOD's Love and may HE Bless, Theresa A. Wood
Friday evening at sunset to Saturday evening sunset is the Holy Sabbath Day.
God gave us this day to rest, just like He rested on the last day after His creation. It is one of the 10 Commandments (#4). God tells us to remember to keep the Sabbath Day. This is the only commandment that God specifically tells us "to remember". Should we consider this special? Yes we should.
Jesus tells us the Sabbath was made for man. It is a gift from God to us. We should use this day to rest, and give thanks, help others in need, visit with friends and family, attend church services, and perform in a manner consistent with the way Jesus and the Apostles performed on the Sabbath. Jesus tells us in scripture that he is the Lord of the Sabbath. This tells us that Jesus holds the Sabbath in high esteem.
Man cannot change any commandment from God, so this is still in affect for The Church and Christ Followers today if they wish to be obedient to God.
You completely missed my point. Sunday worship was already being practiced by Christians for 3 centuries before Constantine codified it, meaning sanctioned by the Roman government with protections for those who observed it.

John 1:1
GOD does not lie!
GENESIS 1:5;8;13;19;23;31
ALL Say, Evening and the Morning ; they were either; 1st day or 6th day.
Genesis 2:2 7th Day GOD Ended his Work and Rested from ALL his Work.
Genesis 2:3 It Says, GOD Blessed the 7th Day, and sanctified it: because he rested from all his work, in which GOD had Created and Made.
Like I said before,
Genesis 1:5 1 Day = Evening to Morning! So, a Day ====='s Evening to Morning! No, Matter how we look at it!
A Day Starts in the Evening and Ends in the Morning. Don't Gloss over GOD'S WORD!
Today, We go from Morning to Evening, as our Day! Think on this deeply! PRAY, about it! Go to GOD in PRAYER about it!
Then you have, as you say, Evening to Evening!
Is That what GOD's WORD actually says?????
RE - Read: GENESIS 1:5 And the rest I listed above...
YET, GOD says, Evening to Morning; are 1 day!
This is repeated in Genesis, refer to above; Book Genesis, Chapter 1 and Verses 5,8,13,19,23,31,
And Genesis Chapter 2:2; is your 7th Day!
Remember, GOD does not LIE!
There's only 1, who LIES and that's SATAN!
We are even told to test the Spirits! So, be careful!
Test your teachers, so they don't lead you in the wrong direction either!
Read the WORD, but also, LISTEN to GOD'S WORD ALOUD; BOOKS, CHAPTERS, and VERSES everyday!
Let NO MAN DECIEVE you!
HE WARNS US!
GOD BLESS to them who READS and HEARS GOD'S WORD now!
Because, we are told there will come a time, when we won't have either anymore!
GOD BLESS, PRAY, GIVE THANKS, PRAISE and Most of ALL GIVE GOD THE GLORY!

Sunday Christian worship was codified by order of Constantine, true. But this was already a practice for Christians for three centuries.
Constantine's, Order of a Cival Decree, NOT, GOD's COMMAND!
Contantine was not, GOD!
Constantine Changed the DAY of WORSHIP!
NOT GOD, AS GOD says, He Sacntified the SABBATH and IT the SABBATH was HOLY!
We are to kept all the COMMANDMENTS, if we LOVE GOD! GOD does they changing in us. When we come to Him, as the ones He
chooses!
Jesus, commanded us to LOVE one another, but he also Reminded us of the COMMANDMENTS!
Again, His WORD is on so Many LEVELS!
We start out as babes, and we grow in HIS WORD, long as we stay in it and we talk to HIM and listen to HIM, as Abraham did!
GOD BLESS!
