From the "Being Part of a Local Church" thread...
I would like to see what you have to say, because I'm specifically thinking about people like Pastors, church volunteers, police officers, firefighters, doctors, nurses, hospital orderlies, etc... and thinking that it's not always possible to say "nobody should work on a Sunday."
I understand that the Bible says that we should work 6 days and a rest, that our work week is modeled around the Creation week. But what if I take Tuesdays off instead? What if I follow the Jewish tradition that says Saturday is the Sabbath?
I can see several justified exceptions, because it's the spirit of the law that we are told to follow, not the exact words. Look at all the things that Jesus came to correct. Jesus himself was persecuted by the religious leaders of the day because he performed a miracle and did great works on the Sabbath.
