Sabbath was made for man, and not the other way around. It is wise advice to take a day of rest per week if at all possible. This does not have to be Sunday, even. (I work two jobs, one of which schedules me every Sunday, so Sunday is out for me.) Many pastors try to follow this principle, and may choose Monday as their day of rest, for example. There is strong practical wisdom in what God initially revealed with the Sabbath teaching, but Jesus is giving us more leeway in how to apply this to our own lives."I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

Originally posted by Scrawly View PostOne man considers one or some days holy (the weaker brethren?), another man considers all days alike (the stronger/mature brethren?). I think common sense dictates that we must rest. No one is capable of working around the clock without resting ever. I fail to see the place of the Sabbath in the life of a Christian if it just comes down to "its wise to take a rest at some point"."I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion.

6 pages and I don't think anyone mentioned the Sabbath (Saturday) and the Lord's Day (Sunday) are not the same."As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths." Isaiah 3:12

Well, Sundays as holy days or rest days or both wasn't a custom right from the start of the Church (after the crucifixion), right? It's still not clear how it became a custom to the point that we used to have blue laws. Well, not "used to": Wikipedia says that some states still limit hunting on Sundays http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_la..._United_States
for one thing.
Elmer Fudd v. Bugs Bunny may not have occurred in a Sunday, I guess.

When I worked as an on call clinician, I didn't have a choice about either Saturday or Sunday. When you're scheduled you go in. If you want to go to church, you'd better hope the clients go to church or the home is having a service. Otherwise your stuck because shift can be 12 plus hours. However I worked the hours to provide for my daughter. I think God understands single parents. That said, I could've never been an Orthodox Jew.A happy family is but an earlier heaven.

Originally posted by Scrawly View PostRight, I think its safe to assume Paul's description of the weaker brethren was essentially in regards to Jewish believers who were not yet familiar with the status of OT regulations under the New Covenant.
Looking back from the standpoint of progressive revelation in the letters of Paul Acts 15:20 can therefore be understood as to advise the Gentiles that they ought not cause the weaker brethren to stumble over issues that they know really have no significance in Christ and therefore maintain fellowship. This was the time and blossoming of God's church where Jew and Gentile were coming together in Christ so the commands in Acts 15:20 should be looked at in that light.Veritas vos Liberabit<>< Learn Greek <>< Look here for an Orthodox Church in America<><Ancient Faith Radio
