Bible Question: I have to work sundays ,is that a sin a violation of Gods law ?? |
Bible Answer: Hello bobnstar, I would not say that it is in violation of God's law to work on Sunday, because it is hard to determine which day is the Sabbath. He doesn't say don't work on Sunday. I believe a good rule for today is to work six days and rest on the seventh, that is mentioned often. We should do the best we can, if your seventh day doesn't line up with everyone elses, I wouldn't debate it, allow the Lord to direct your steps. I do believe you should take one day in seven to rest. That seems to be sufficient for God, or he would not have said it. I believe we will know which day is the Sabbath as we grow closer to our Lord, He will reveal it, and we will with one mind keep that prescribed day, of one accord. I think it is interesting the way God determines as a day, look at Gen 1:5, God called the light day, and the darkness He called night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day. , It seems to start at noon ( beginning of evening) and ends at noon (at the end of the morning). I hope this helps you, wordoer |
