Somebody needs to do their homework! Sunday is never mentioned in the Bible, and the few verses mentioning the first day of the week say nothing of it being a sacred day or the Lord's day-read them all in context. Just cause you meet on wednesday night for prayer meeting doesn't make it a day of worship. God instituted the seventh-day Sabbath at Creation as a special day for man to leave his cares and spend extra time with God-it was a memorial of creation. That's explains why in the 10 commandments it says to "Remember the Sabbath day..." Why would He tell them to remember something they'd never known before? God is the same yesterday, today, and forever, and He wrote His law in stone. Study history and you will find that it is man who changed the Sabbath to Sunday to help bring the Christians and the gentiles together. The Sabbath is God's seal and yes by worshipping on the false Sunday Sabbath we are preparing to recieve the mark of the beast. As to 666, there is only one power that totally fits the description given in Revelation, even though there are a few other names that can add up to 666.

No.
The early church met upon the first day of the week.
It is the day Jesus rose from the dead (Mark 16:1-2)
The church began on Pentecost (Acts 2). Pentecost was always on the first day of the week.
Acts 20:7 says, "Upon the first day of the week when the desciples gathered together..."
Early Christians were commanded to collect an offering on the first day of the week. (1 Corinthians 16:2)
When Christians meet upon the first day of the week, they are following Biblical (New Testament) examples and commands. This practice was not originated through the Catholic papacy.

Actually honoring Sunday was started before the papacy even existed. Constantine was a life long worshiper of the sun god sol. The traditional day for worshiping sol was Sunday so Constantine changed it from Saturday to Sunday. Satan had nothing to do with it.
In ancient Jewish tradition Satan is simply an angel doing the work that God assigned to Satan to do.
The word Satan means challenger. With the idea of Satan challenging us, or tempting if you will. This description sees Satan as the angel who is the embodiment of man's challenges. This idea of Satan works closely with God as an integral part of God plan for us. His job is to make choosing good over evil enough of a challenge so that it becomes clear to us that there can be only one meaningful or logical choice.
Contrast this to Christianity, which sees Satan as God's opponent. In Jewish thought, the idea that there exists anything capable of setting itself up as God's opponent would be considered polytheistic or setting up the devil to be an equally powerful polarity to god or a demigod.
Oddly, proof for The Christian satan/devil mythology is supposedly found in the ancient Jewish texts that were borrowed to create the bible. One can’t help but wonder how Christians came up with such a fantastically different interpretation of Gods assistant Satan in their theology.
Other hints about Satan’s role in human relations can be seen if you look at the name Lucifer. It meaning in the original tongue translates as Light bearer or light bringer. Essentially the bringer of enlightenment. The temptations of the Satan idea bring all of us eventually into Gods light. Hardly the Evil entity of Christian mythology.

Actually that is not why they do it. Jesus rose from the dead on Sunday. That is why they changed the date.
He was supposed to have fulfilled all the old laws and so this was a new day. A new time period. Adam was never told to keep the Sabbath. that was for those brought out of Egypt as slaves.
His raising from the dead and being the sacrifice seemed more important.

The 666 is not a literal mark, we do have to chose tho, which one are we serving and obeying, the Lord God creator of the sabbath (7th day of the week) or man made traditions like sunday worshiping.

Sunday is the day when God rested after creating the world. And Satan didn't create the papacy. You're crazy.

Sunday is the Lord's Day, the day Jesus rose from the dead. John recieved Christ's revelation on the Lord's Day (Revelation 1:10).

Yes, I believe so, as it is written in the Holy Bible that keeping the sabbath is MANDATORY, meaning you HAVE to do it, and it is also written that the sabbath is on SATURDAY not on SUN day, the day of the pagan worship of the SUN! get it?
