RE: [TruthTalk] Only 9 of the 10 commandments?

Dear Laura, the Practical One,   I don’t think that being in the majority is necessarily an indication of correctness. (“Wide is the road, and broad is the way that leads to destruction; and many there are upon it….My translation).   I would not say that anyone who does not honor the Sabbath is not in “right standing” with God. I do think they are not obeying the 4th commandment. I also think this is not an issue that should divide Christians, one way or the other. Of course, I think obeying is better than not obeying, or I wouldn’t do it. And I certainly believe there are special blessings involved in obedience.   How practical it is to obey should not be an issue. Heaven forbid it would confuse the soccer Mom’s of America! J   I also don’t think there should be any “bickering” about this. Each should present his/her best discussion, and then trust the God to be God. It’s between you and Him. I don’t lose one wink of sleep over who does or doesn’t honor the Sabbath. (Although I was up writing about it last night after the neighbor’s fire alarm woke up the neighborhood!)   Izzy   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, November 16, 2002 7:54 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] Only 9 of the 10 commandments?   Please understand that I have no intent to insult another believer.  However it was inferred that those of us (who by the way are the majority) who worship on Sunday are somehow not in right standing with God by doing so.  Look at it from a practical viewpoint.  If every denomination picked a different day to worship we would have chaos.  Schools would have a time scheduling extra curricular activities.  Workplaces would have a terrible time with schedules. It would create division between everyone.  Can't you just see it now.  OK the Saturday kids will have their practice on Sunday at 5 and the Sunday kids will practice at 5:00 on Saturday.  Please understand that the game will be held on Saturday when the Saturday Worshippers get home from church so be prepared for the game to start late.  I don't think God is impressed with this kind of bickering.  Laura So again I say, you should not criticize and insult Believers who differ with you on this
