Yeah, it's just that you get all kinds of opinions on it in the Christian community. There is controversy for instance as to whether the sabbath should be kept; and if it should be kept, does it matter which day? In Romans Paul tells us not to criticize another's choice of the holy day, but some - such as certain Messianic flavors and the 7th Day Adventists - are fairly well set on Saturday.

I have a sister who is Christian but has been known to work all 7 days of the week. Is this a sin or not? I'm not entirely convicted either way in light of some of the stuff in the new testament. On the other hand, I'm grateful that it's fairly easy for me to set aside that one day for worship, prayer, and study.

I'm fascinated by the Torah (just started reading Genesis) and try to obey all 12 commandments.

Thanks for your perspective.

FWIW
