Bible Question:
Dear wordoer I am appreciative that Doctor's and especially nurses who tend to the sick are available to work on Saturdays and Sundays. Didn't Jesus Himself even say; "Then said Jesus unto them, I will ask you one thing; Is it lawful on the sabbath days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy it?" Luke 6:9 and Mark 3:4 Grace to you New Creature |
Bible Answer: Hello New Creature, you ask; Is it lawful on the sabbath days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy it?" My answer is; It is lawful to do good, not to do evil, Never is it lawful to do evil. Saving life would be my preference and according to scripture as well (as if my preference would matter). Mark 3:4 And He *said to them, "Is it lawful to do good or to do harm on the Sabbath, to save a life or to kill?" But they kept silent. I won't keep silent, I'll tell you straight. Mark 3:2 They were watching Him to see if He would heal him on the Sabbath, so that they might accuse Him. I don't know how you have come to think that I would not want someone to be healed. But the Pharisees were looking to accuse Jesus. Mark 3:6 The Pharisees went out and immediately began conspiring with the Herodians against Him, as to how they might destroy Him. They set out to destroy Him because He did good? This is the Pharisees mindset, they would rather see someone suffer, They had no compassion on this afflicted man. Never should a Christian desire to see someone suffer. The point of my answer was to have a day of rest. Work six days and rest on the seventh. As far a Doctors and nurses, do they heal on the Sabbath? or are they making a living off of the suffering of others? It is something to think about. If this is the case, I am not very appreciative of it. I would rather the sick and afflicted humble themselves before the Great Physician, so they might be truly healed. Thank you for the opportunity to clarify my position on this important subject, wordoer |
