Subject: Are we free to disobey God's OT Law? (2) |
Bible Note: Agreed; Wouldn't it be nice if we prepared our Sunday meal on Saturday, and once again called the day before the Sabbath, the preparation day? That way we would not have any excuses or distractions in our lives to prevent us from fully observing the Sabbath day. Many people say, "I won't cook on the Sabbath day, but then go to a resturant and have other people cook their food for them. Wouldn't it be nice if places of business were closed on the Sabbath (Sunday) in my instance to allow employees who work at them the opportunity to be able to attend worship services? I remember when we had "Blue Laws" and business establishments like resturants, stores, etc. were closed on Sunday until after 12:00 noon. Yes it truly would be wonderful to go back to those days, but it is highly unlikely. However we can personally honor the Sabbath, by making preparations on Saturday, not out of a legalistic mindset, but rather because we individually desire to honor God, and observe the Sabbath from the heart, not compulsion. |
