St. SteVen said:
The 4th Commandment is the Sabbath Commandment, correct?
Probably the most controversial of the lot.
That one can't help but be divisive. Unless you keep it to yourself.
As soon as you claim that the seventh day Sabbath is God's holy day, what does that say about any other day?
And by extension, what does that say about anyone who "observes" another day?
I understand that there is biblical support on both sides of the issue. I spent years in debate on the subject.
Fine folks on both sides of the issue get pretty worked up over it.
I don't consider Sabbatarianism to be a false doctrine.
I respect those who have chosen to observe. They have the freedom to do that.
They do not however have the freedom to say terrible things about
my free-will choice in the matter. But, what else can they do if they really believe it?
Other than keep it to themselves, or share in a non-condemning way about their personal choice.
Unfortunately, if you really believe it, there is no other choice. There's the rub.
Does that make sense?
