Answer 1

No sweetie making popcorn? dancing? Using electricity? Has nothing to do with work. You have to realize society is a lot different then biblical times. It all depends on your relationship with God, some people have no choice to work on sunday because of bills and obligation. I had to sometimes and I would pray that God would understand. But dont try to nit pick every little thing because someone would be crazy to say flushing your toilet is a sin or something

Answer 2

Aussi the rules to sabbath are found in Exodus 16:22-26, 20:8-11, 31:12-17, Leviticus 23:3, 24:8, Numbers 15:32-36, Deuteronomy 5:12-15. The only mentioning of the rules in the New Testament are just a few of the details that Jesus elaborates on. The set of the rules of Sabbath are listed in the passages above. There were also many feasts that had a special sabbath day in them such as passover or day of atonement, but I did not include them in the list above. As you can see from those verses that it was a very strict day with no work. Not even cooking was allowed. This would rule out popcorn. Also notice that a couple of those passages mention that it is a statute or sign between God and Israel. That is important. Jesus freed us from this strict law. This is exactly what is said in Romans 7:4-6. This is the message of Romans, Galatians, and especially Hebrews. Look at Hebrews 8:7-13 and 10:9. According to Hebrews 10:1 the old was a shadow of what we have now with Jesus. This implies that we are not under the old law of having a sabbath day but rather it is a shadow of something that we have. This is explained very well in Hebrews 4:3-11. Notice it is telling us that our Sabbath rest is not a day of the week that has strict regulations, but rather it is in Heaven that we rest for our works. That is our Christian Sabbath. Please take time to look at these verses and I think they will help.

Answer 3

You can do anything you feel like doing on the "Christian Sabbath", i.e. Sunday. Nowhere does it say that God made this particular day holy nor that He sanctified it. And what God didn't sanctify in the first place, it is totally impossible for anyone to KEEP holy.

On the other hand, if you are a Christian who accepts the 7th day Sabbath, then that day is dedicated to God totally. All regular work should cease. Any humanitarian work that could not be done on other days is permitted. Essential services, e.g police, medical, are also permitted. If you really need the popcorn, go right ahead. Enjoy the Sabbath with God; make it a delight, not a burden.

Answer 4

First you should consider what the purpose of Sabbath is. Then you could start to figure out what might be a sin or not.

For example, I think that the purpose of Sabbath is to devote a day to enjoying God and enjoying family. So I'm trying to incorporate activities that will promote those things. Is popping popcorn a sin? Not in my mind. Because it shouldn't be about what I can't do... it's about what I GET TO DO, to fulfill the purpose of the Sabbath. That could mean reading the Bible, or books about God, playing outside, having a deep conversation, things that would help build relationships. It would be tough to justify other things, though... Like sitting in front of a TV or computer all day and not connecting with people, other than the fine people of Y!A, of course. Remember, Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath. Check out Isaiah 58, too.

Answer 5

You are saying the same things that the jews did about Christ!

HERE is Christ's teaching about the Sabbath:

Mark 2:27 (New International Version)

27Then he said to them, "The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.

What IS important is that we DO set a day aside each week, to spend with God-NOT what day of the week it is!

Answer 6

nicely then enable's all take off the Sabbath. in the adventure that your position catches hearth then oh nicely, that includes paintings to placed it aside. in case you want an officer then too undesirable this is the Sabbath the officials take that damage day. enable's bypass visit Grandma contained in the nursing domicile. Oops she's hungry and dirty, no one works on the Sabbath to look after her. The medical institution has surprisingly extreme lack of life rates on the Sabbath because no on is there to look after sufferers. there is not any thanks to maintain away from engaged on the Sabbath.

Answer 7

MARK 2:27 NKJ : And He said to them, "The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath.".....It doesn't mean to stop living for a day. The very reason we are commanded to cease from our own works on the Sabbath is so we may devote the time to the work of honoring and serving God; that we may "turn your foot from the Sabbath, from doing your pleasure on My holy day, and call the Sabbath a delight, the holy day of the Lord honorable, and shall honor Him, not doing your own ways, nor finding your own pleasure, nor speaking your own words" (Isaiah 58:13). Here it is clear that it is our own works—the course of our everyday business—that we are to avoid on the Sabbath. On the other hand, we are to honor God on the Sabbath. Giving honor to God often entails work—"good works."
A careful reading of Scripture reveals that we are to cease and rest from common or profane work on the Sabbath, so that the time may be devoted to God’s holy purpose. But implicit in the Sabbath command is that we do the work necessary to fulfill the spiritual aim and meaning of the Sabbath. On the first Sabbath, God rested from His work of physical creation, but He did the work of creating the Sabbath, blessing and sanctifying it (Genesis 2:2–3; Mark 2:27). The weekly Sabbaths and the annual Sabbaths were proclaimed to be "holy convocations"—commanded assemblies for the purpose of gathering to hear God’s word taught, and for congregational worship (Leviticus 23:2, 4). This includes the "work" required to travel to the place of assembly, and to listen, learn and participate in the worship service. Those commissioned to teach did the work of reading and explaining God’s word. On such occasions, people customarily did the work of eating and drinking, sharing and rejoicing in the holy day and in the truth of God’s word (Nehemiah 8:1–12). Other work implicit in the command was done, too: even on the most solemn day of the year—the Day of Atonement—the priests did the work of slaying animals and offering sacrifices before God, according to the requirements of the law (Leviticus 16).

Answer 8

None of that is a sin. Read in the Bible about the Pharisee's getting on to Christ's disciples from pulling grains of wheat off the stalk and eating them on the Sabbath. They considered that work and eating and Christ told them not to concern themselves with such religious laws. Pop your corn dear you will be fine.
Love in Christ,
