Also, God said that folks were to do all their works (sins) for six days, and then on the seventh day they were to desist from all work. Remember too, that the law was a tutor leading to Chirst. Jesus clearly showed that "good works" (not sins) can be carried out any time and that is ok with God.

Departing from there, He went into their synagogue. And a man was there whose hand was withered. And they questioned Jesus, asking, "Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?"-so that they might accuse Him. And He said to them, "What man is there among you who has a sheep, and if it... ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (William of Pompano) http://godsmercy.net/sreply/3711 Wed, 04 Nov 2009 05:39:27 PST http://godsmercy.net/reply/3705/t/The-Sabbath-Day-11-03-09-.html#reply-3705
The Sabbath was to be a GIFT to man from a loving God who wanted us to take time to rest and refresh ourselves. It did become Law to the Jews, and such a law that there have been debates up until modern times as to what constitutes WORK. In Israel about 15 years ago, many homes in Tel Aviv were damanged by fire because people were arguing whether it constituted WORK to put out a fire on the Sabbath. They could call their rabbi on the phone, but worried that it might be a sin to call the fire department. People lost their lives over this.

Exodus 20:8 (KJV)

The Sabbath Day (Saturday,) is created for us to be a day of rest. A lot of us work on Saturdays, I even worked on Saturdays when I had a job... I felt obligated to do it, but guess what? They cannot make us work on a day that goes against our "religion" legally. But we do have to request that day off. So, maybe you won't get another day of the week off... So, what it's a fair trade. We need to keep the Sabbath Day holy and use it as a day of rest as God intended. Even worse some of us don't take any days off of work. My mother worked two jobs when I was growing up, and at one point she had 3 jobs. There were no days off for her. You feel like you have to in order to survive to be able to support your family, but what you need to do instead is just trust God and abide by His Will. He'll take care of you.
