Monday is the first day of the week according to me.  Where does it state in
the Bible about days of the week, or which day is the first day of the week.
It doesn't.

See above.

They changed nothing.  Again, see above

Of course it was, but they chose which day of the week their Sabbath was.

Ah but he does.  That you dont believe does not matter, and as you state up
above, you are your own authority as well.  Your word means nothing.
You might want to read up on the history of the Church.  You obviously know
less then you think

Where did you get that silliness?  Again, the Bible, does not state the name of
the day of the week.

No fault, just wishing to be different, and which Christian faith would you be
referring to?  Most that I know of celebrate Sunday, except for the Jewish
religion
