If the Bible is to be obeyed, why aren't people put to death if they work on Sunday? Exodus35:2- For six days,

Question

work is to be done, but the seventh day shall be your holy day, a Sabbath of rest to the Lord. WHOEVER DOES ANY WORK ON IT MUST BE PUT TO DEATH.
Well, why aren't Christians following the Bible and executing those who work on Sunday?

Answer 1

because the idea is absurd. If no body worked on a sunday, then the criminals will do whatever they want and the police can't stop them. The patients will die because the doctors don't work. There are people who will not do anything and everybody has a problem. the world would be a mess. Any questions?

Answer 2

Unless you use a different calendar than most, Sunday is the first day of the week. Saturday is the seventh. Mary Magdalene went to the tomb to see the body of Christ it was the day after the sabbath, and he was crucified on the eve of the sabbath(for they went to make preparations for the burial and the sabbath) so he was crucified on the sixth day of the week and rose on the first(Sunday), three days. (Luke 24:54-56; Luke 24:1)

(I Corinthians 16:2; Acts 20:7; Revelation 1:10) these scriptures support Sunday as the day of worship and it is called the Lord's day by John because it is the day Christ rose, so it is the day Christians congregate.

The sabbath did not change with the resurrection as God ordained that the sabbath was to be honored forever and kept holy.(Exodus 20:8-11).

We do not execute those who work on Saturday because we are under grace and dishonoring the sabbath is not a sin. David did it and so did Christ. The sabbath was made for man and not man for the sabbath.

Answer 3

The six days of work according to Jewish custom are Sunday through Friday. Saturday is defined by the Bible as Sabbath.

The Sabbath is a permanent covenant that God made with the Israelites.

I'm not Jewish.
You?

Answer 4

The Sabbath as such has long since been lost in the muddy waters of calendar changes. The Jewish calendar is probably more accurate, since it has not been adjusted for Julius or Greg or Leap Year or Daylight Saving Time. If I were an employee, I would work whatever hours my boss tells me to if I expect to continue being employed. Edit: I just realized you switched horses in mid-stream. If you disbelieve the flood, take a gander at what sits on Mount Ararat.

Answer 5

Because Jesus is our Sabbath. He called himself the Lord of the Sabbath.
The Sabbath was a shadow of things to come, and Jesus was the fulfillment of that.

Did you ever hear or see the arguing about which is the day to go to church, Saturday or Sunday? It's all useless arguing.

Here's what is written about that in the Bible both sides quarrel about:
16 Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. 17 These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ. ( Colossians 2)

So Christ is our Sabbath. The day to go to church is any day. And we can worship God anywhere. That's according to the Bible.

Answer 6

Well, because this law, like all the others in the Torah (except the 7 Noahide Laws) never applied to non Jews. There was no penalty or punishment for non-Jews who broke Torah law because Torah law was not imposed on non-Jews. The only exception to this was a non-Jew who was in a Jew's home during Sabbath. In this case he had to not break the Sabbath as well, but lenience was shown to him as he was probably not familiar with exactly how to not do that, being a non-Jew and never subjected to that law.

Therefore, Christians are not bound by that law. Jesus didn't "free them from it" -- they were never bound by the laws in the Torah in the first place.

Except the 7 Noahide Laws, that is.

And if you knew Torah law, then you'd know that for Jews who broke the Sabbath, very, very rarely was death given as a punishment. There were many conditions that had to be met for such a punishment to be given, including a fair trial before the Sanhedrin. The Sabbath breaker's intent had to be taken into consideration. Was he doing it repeatedly after being given many chances? Were there witnesses? Was he doing it in order to lead other Jews into breaking it too? Depending on the severity and the intent and extenuating circumstances, death might not be prescribed at all. Education or imprisonment were also options. There are also many exceptions to this law, for instance, to save a life (known as pikui nefesh), one may break the Sabbath.

Answer 7

V good Question,

In Islaam you can work, will not stop you at all, look what Qur'aan says about....

[62:9] O you who believe, when the Congregational Prayer (Salat Al-Jumu`ah) is announced on Friday, you shall hasten to the commemoration of GOD, and drop all business. This is better for you, if you only knew.
[62:10] Once the prayer is completed, you may spread through the land to seek GOD's bounties, and continue to remember GOD frequently, that you may succeed.

Answer 8

No Christians follow the Old Testament law. We are under the new covenant under Jesus, not under the old covenant. Only ancient Israelites signed onto that covenant, which we are not. Therefore, we are under no obligation to follow OT law. I hope this is of some use.

Answer 9

This is why people need to study the Bible and go to church. Then you would know that Jesus fulfilled the old law (Old Testament) so the laws in the OT are no longer in effect.

Answer 10

Christ and his Apostles picked wheat and did other menial chores on the sabbath day. He also healed the sick on this day. On the Sabbath Day, is it better to give life, or to take it away? All should know that Christ is master of the law, and can challenge it, or make new law.
