Okay,
I've been really interested to read this thread, and the bible discussion one about keeping the sabbath.
from what I understand so far, it seems that we christians (gentiles) don't HAVE to follow the law? In that we can do work on our sabbath , just like Jesus did.
But I was wondering, what everyone thinks about still having a day (any day) of rest?
Reason I ask is because today after church I got out a folder and started doing some work for uni, and my bro-in-law andy said to me "Gen, do you have a sabbath?"
i was confused, and he went on to ask me if i had one day of not doing any work. i told him i didn't, and he thought i should.
so I went and looked up some scriptures and then found this thread, and i'm still a bit confused. Is it okay to work on sundays? (or whatever day a person might use to fellowship with other believers etc.)
Is it possible that doing work for the Lord is okay, whilst doing work for other reasons isn't? I wondered that because of this story in Mathew
" 9And when he was departed thence, he went into their synagogue:
10And, behold, there was a man which had [his] hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? that they might accuse him.
11And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift [it] out?
12How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days."
