RE>>, this seems like bondage to me<< Colleen your getting it backwards... God's Law is not bondage it is Liberty. Working 7 days a week for Pharoah .. That is bondage. Getting no time off work to go and worship God on the Lord's Day .... That is bondage. Satan is the deceiver and He has deceived even Christians into thinking that getting a God ordained day off every week is bondage. How can that be. How can those who say they love God hate to obey him even when that obedience is liberty and health? Homosexuals see God's laws about sex as bondage. Are we better than they because we judge a differnet law? We are not called to Judge the law at all: James 4:11 Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge. If a restaurant is being supported in breaking the Sabbath and insisting people work that day how is it Christians have no conviction of sin and partake and support the unGodly store owner by spending money and creating a market on that Day? I believe it is our flesh that see God's Law as bondage. Is freedom the right to do whatever you want? Is that not the devil's idea of freedom. No - the Christian's idea of freedom is the ability to freely worship God and to have the power to do what is right. Indeed to love what is right and to hate what is evil. What is right is defined by God alone. God gave us Ten Commandments. Jesus said not one Jot or Tittle would be changed of that Moral code. How dare we call men to work 7 days a week and give them not rest. If you owned a restaurant would you deny them the right to Sundays off to go to Church? Or would you encourage them to take that day off and trust God to earn you enough money by working only six? Can not our God provide even in a dessert place? Many malls now will not let faithful Christians own a store. They make it a term of lease that you be open 7 days a week. They are set against God's Holy Law and gift of Rest and against faithful men saved by grace who honor God's Law. They have many confused Christian who help them by spending money in those mall even on that day. What then should our cry be to America that seek to take away the "sign of the Creator God" from our land. Exodus 8:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, Go unto Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Let my people go, that they may serve me. Why do modern Christians believe all 9 of the 10 commandments?
