What Makes Antioch So IMPORTANT in Church History?

📖 Why was Antioch one of the most important cities in early Christianity?
The city of Antioch played a critical role in the growth of the early Church. It was the first place where followers of Jesus were called “Christians” (Acts 11:26), a major center of Apostolic teaching, and the home of St. Ignatius of Antioch. As a key city for missionary work, theological debates, and Church leadership, Antioch helped shape Christian doctrine, biblical interpretation, and the spread of the Gospel across the Roman Empire.

So what happened at the incident of Antioch?

Why was there a strong disagreement between between Paul on one side and Peter, Barnabas and James on another?

In the city of Antioch, the believers were first called Christians. In the year 107AD, the 3rd bishop of Antioch was the first to refer to the Christians as Catholic.

The Greeks conquered it in the 4th century AD, wasn't it BC?

I so really want to know when and how Sunday the 1st day of the week became, the official day that the Christians started to meet for church services...? In the light of the fact tbat through Matthew to the book of Acts it is very clear that they met on the 7th day the Sabbath day... How and when did Sunday became the day to congregate as church? Any biblical foundation to call it the Lord's day?
Last question are Christians not bound to keep the Sabbath anymore? If sois it based how our Lord Jesus Christ answered the pharisees on the Sabbath... If so, does it mean that the 4th commandment is no longer valid? I so dearly wish to know and/or directed to read somewhere that would reveal tbose answers... Thank you

Very good content. I'm a new subscriber. But it's a bit off-putting to see hyper-Catholic uniforms (with crosses everywhere) on some of the characters. Nobody dressed like that until much later.

The Letters of st.Ignatius of Antioch to the Smyrna's chapter 1 verse8 - where the bishop is present, there let the congregation just as where Jesus Christ is there is the CATHOLIC CHURCH.
