Point blank: the choice to close on Sundays or on any other day should be left in the hands of the business owners. It should never be in the hands of the government.
If a business owner believes that he should close on a certain day due to his faith, he will put his faith over his profit margins. Otherwise he really worships money anyway.
Muslim businesses do this, as do Christian businesses. I believe Chik Fil A and Hobby Lobby are two examples. No problem! Freedom of religion (:
The instant the State decides which religious dogmas must be observed, religious liberty has been infringed upon; for a Muslim will be forced to close down on a day he has no regard for, as will a Seventh-Day Adventist Christian. It throws the entire principle into hazard.
That and if it’s regulated, it’s not personal obedience.
I tend to agree, even before getting into little technicalities like the Sabbath being on Sabado. 😉 Everything being closed on Sundays sure was nice though.
I know what you mean but these matters must be personal obedience to God like you said. These things have to be fruits of the Spirit not outwardly enforced regulations. You think it was nice to have everything closed on Sunday wait until you live in a Spirit-filled town where everyone observes Sabbath rest by free will choice! And yeah no I'm not shilling for Saturday or Sunday, I think it's merely "every 7th day" so if you start counting on Tuesday it would be every Monday
Yeah. Arguing with myself as much as the argument.
Everybody has their spots where they have something they want from the Ring of Power.
I do advocate for Saturday, but also agree that “every seventh day” (which could be on Sunday, even though that ends up not being functionally different) is much more valid than “1700 years ago, the Pope/Emperor of Rome said it should be on Sunday now.” Even Saturday could be wrong, after all. The discussions on lunar cycles get wildly, and highly erroneously, intense.
Agreed, I’d rather live in a spirit filled observance of sabbath than a statute ordained observance of it.
…
All these unions tell us constantly how they got us the 40 hour work week. For one, do we really need to work that much? For two, having two days off is necessary right now to allow for observance of God’s commands. These people who all fly a raised fist flag are trying to take God’s credit. Shocking.
