No argument there... under the New Testament there is NO instructions or command from the Lord that says one must rest or worship the Lord on Saturday.. or Sunday for that matter.
A half-truth and half-argument from silence that is far too flimsy to nullify a divine, etched-in-stone command recorded in Scripture.
The Ten Commandments are the only part of Scripture that was physically written by God Himself.
As posted above we do see see the Apostles gathering and worshiping the Lord on Sunday... but who knows, they may have went out and worked on Sunday afternoon and took their day of rest on Thursday!
No, they kept the Sabbath according to the commandment, just like the mourners in Luke 23:56.
People can keep any schedule they want, but scientific studies show that vital indicators show a reduction of stress beginning in the afternoon-to-evening hours of Friday, even when they have conflicting schedules, indicating a definite circaseptan rhythm. There's a reason that bussiness-as-usual has come largely to a stop on Friday afternoons, traditionally.
Similarly, folks can stay up until 3 AM and sleep until 11 if they choose, but the nightly pineal secretion of melatonin in the brain dictates that the ideal, restorative sleep cycle only occurs between roughly 9 PM and 5 AM, depending on seasonal and geographical circumstances.
God's creation operates on laws, scientific and moral.
What if someone has to work 7 days a week in order to make ends meet, you guys think they go to hell because this is what they have to do in order to provide for their family?
It is both unwise and unreasonable to establish a normative from a "
What if?" anomaly.
The weird obsession with the 4th commandment being one the violation of which has a special connection with hellfire is yours—not mine.
However, rejecting any one of God's commandments is sin, the wages of which is death, and the 4th commandment just happens to be the one that the devil, with the help of so many Christians today, has so widely demonized. There is a reason for it, and it's a problem that will have to be discussed extensively as the end of time draws ever nearer.
Anyone who absolutely has to work to preserve life or facilitate Sabbath activities, is blameless just like the priests in the Temple, as per Christ's instruction in Matthew 12:5. It is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.
Other workers will have to get Sabbaths off if they want to be obedient to God.
I turned down a great-paying job once for this very reason, while unemployed, and God provided me with a much better one just a week later, with the employer more than happy to honor my sense of conviction and duty to God.
All who wish to cherish doubts about God's Word will find ready hooks upon which to hang them.
