    why do we worship on Sunday instead of Saturday? If the star appeared in the east, how could the wise men end up in Bethlem which is west. Why do we celebrate Christmas in December when there are no shepherds in the fields in December because they are kept in town until warm weather......could you shed light on these questions. I know that Constantine 1 decreed on March 7 321 that all worship in Rome would occur on Sunday the day of sub worship but when II added everything up, I got a bad number..... March 7 is the 66th day of ear and adding 321 Ad 3, 2, and 1 is 6 which together is 666.Now, according to Daniel and Revelation, the antichrist will be a pope and the beast that gives him his power is the Roman catholic hierarchy. SO>..... why do we worship on Sunday???????

    Hi Freddie,

    I'm happy to offer my opinion. We can and should worship God every day, but many churches choose Sunday as a day to worship I believe because the first century church met on the first day of the week- Sunday. Read Acts 20:7. Since that is an example we are given, surely that's a good time to meet.

    For your 2nd question, can you please provide scripture with the east/west that you believe is confusing? Christmas- I don't know. I kind of doubt Dec 25 was the correct day Jesus was born. But we also don't know the exact place in Bethlehem or elevation Jesus was born. There are many variables.

    What some Roman guy or Catholic said or did carries no weight or credibility. The fact is Acts 20:7 said long before them that they met on the first day of the week so its not wrong to gather that day.

    As for 666, people into numerology can make any book have the same 'coincidences' through enough research, but this is merely confirmation bias. It's similar to the birthday paradox how it seems illogical and almost like a conspiracy how with so few people you have 2 or more with the same birthday. It's a cute party trick just like the 666. It's equally likely to find 555 or 444 or any other sequence if one crunches enough numbers, but it doesn't mean anything. If some day I see people funneled into taking a mark with 666 on it then I will know with certainty that is something to avoid, but someone doing a little trickery to make a coincidence seem like its not is insignificant in my opinion. God bless.
