What are all you religious people doing typing on the Sabbath day?

Question

Don't you know your god commands you to do no work on the Sabbath? Or are you all just a bunch of hypocrites.

Note: Anyone who types in a response to this is breaking the Sabbath. SINNER.

Answer 1

Are Christians under obligation to keep a weekly sabbath day?

Ex. 31:16, 17: “The sons of Israel must keep the sabbath, so as to carry out the sabbath during their generations. It is a covenant to time indefinite [“a perpetual covenant,” RS]. Between me and the sons of Israel it is a sign to time indefinite.” (Notice that sabbath observance was a sign between Jehovah and Israel; this would not be the case if everyone else were also obligated to keep the Sabbath. The Hebrew word rendered “perpetual” in RS is 'oh·lam´, which basically means a period of time that, from the standpoint of the present, is indefinite or hidden from sight but of long duration. That can mean forever, but not necessarily so. At Numbers 25:13 the same Hebrew word is applied to the priesthood, which later ended, according to Hebrews 7:12.)

Rom. 10:4: “Christ is the end of the Law, so that everyone exercising faith may have righteousness.” (Sabbath keeping was a part of that Law. God used Christ to bring that Law to its end. Our having a righteous standing with God depends on faith in Christ, not on keeping a weekly sabbath.) (Also Galatians 4:9-11; Ephesians 2:13-16)

Col. 2:13-16: “[God] kindly forgave us all our trespasses and blotted out the handwritten document against us, which consisted of decrees and which was in opposition to us . . . Therefore let no man judge you in eating and drinking or in respect of a festival or of an observance of the new moon or of a sabbath.” (If a person was under the Mosaic Law and was judged guilty of profaning the Sabbath, he was to be stoned to death by the whole congregation, according to Exodus 31:14 and Numbers 15:32-35. Many who argue for sabbath keeping have reason to be glad that we are not under that Law. As shown in the scripture here quoted, an approved standing with God no longer requires observance of the sabbath requirement given to Israel.)

Answer 2

hrrm, I am not a sinner because i do not follow the Sabbath so for you to be calling me or anyone a sinner is redundant. Also if you are so religious what are you doing working so hard to ask a question? Is that not the same thing?!? think about that while you are supposed to relax and not lift a finger.

Answer 3

Well, especially we are doing the Lord's works as Jesus did when he was around on earth, we are not breaking the sabbath. But Jesus is the sabbath, worship him is keeping the sabbath. I think this is much more convenient. Sabbath is rest and we rest in Jesus. God knows our hearts. Is sabbath kept as a duty or as a worship for God?

Answer 4

good point!
if a person is required to 'recover' lost sabbath days than not all sabbath days are the same.
if i dont work all week than all week is a time of rest.
if i had rest enough to be able to type now, than i fulfilled the day of rest and it is ultimately my choice what i do to fulfill all these things.
be not a hypocrite, jesus said, how many chief priests whould have a ox fall in the ditch and Work to get it out?
how about the sabbath day is not officially sunday except to christians? How about doing good on the sabbath. ?
there are so many loop holes in what is allowable that almost anyone can be the master of his own sabbath day!

Answer 7

Where in the Bible does it say, "Thou shalt not type on the Sabbath."? In my opinion, engaging in a discussion about religion is a fitting way to spend the Sabbath. Or else, you may argue that it is breaking the Sabbath to drive your car to church?

Answer 8

Look at your calendar. The first day is Sunday, the last day is Saturday. Therefore, since God rested on the 7th day, isn't the Sabbath Saturday? It was only made Sunday later.

Answer 9

Actually the sabbath is on Saturday. The reason Christians observe it on Sunday is because that is the day of the week in which Christ rose from the dead.

Answer 10

the sabath day is a day for relaxing and giving up work. By typing and sharing the word of christ we are actually perserving the sabath day. The sabath is ment to help us rest and spend time with God and help spread his name. (typing is not work btw)
lol God bless you
P.S. We are all sinners, if you are going to use scripture use all plz or your being a hypocrite yourself. Romans 3:23 We all have fallen short of the glory of God. Read the bible a little more plz!
