If God rested on the 7th day, and that day was Sunday, why is Sunday the first day of the week on the calendar instead of the last day?

Well the first day God rested was Sunday. The first day of our week is Sunday and we should rest. I think this is so we will start our week off refreshed and closer to God.

Actually, Sunday is the first day of the week, and God rested on a Saturday. That's why the Jewish sabbath is Saturday, not Sunday. But when Christ came and died for our sins, He rose again on the third day, which was a Sunday, switching the day of worship from Saturday, the end of the week, to Sunday, the beginning of the week, symbolizing a new beginning for believers.

God rested on the 7th day which was a Saturday. Do you seriously think that the Old Testament was from a Christian perspective? How Naïve are you?

Saturday is the seventh day, which is why it is the Jewish Sabbath. The old testament is essentially a jewish text....Where do you think Christianity stemmed from? Christ was jewish! Sunday was considered the sabbath for christians because it stemmed from the pagan day of celebration. Many so-called christian pratices/holidays stem from pagan practices. The two were merged in order to make christianity less 'traumatic' for the masses to convert to. Google: Emperor Constantine if you want more info.
