I had not said anything of the sort, only that the Sabbath is not Sunday. However, again we must look to the scriptures, and not cherry pick. It is in bad faith to cherry pick in order to try to justify your actions. When people engage in cherry picking, they are certainly doing it for the benefit of their peers and for themselves; for they desire to be seen in a positive light. But The Lord cannot be fooled as he knows what is in your heart.

Here is a good place for you to read all the references of Sabbath in The Bible. Why would you ask another person when your best and most true answer lies therein, and nowhere else?

So you're saying it is fine to hunt and fish and mow your lawn on Sunday, but not on Saturday? Just clarifying.

Why even discuss this in a Biblical context if we cannot even understand and agree that Sunday is not the Sabbath? Satan works very hard to push and shove the mind of man around just enough to become sin. The Lord does not care what we think or want or what our religious leaders may say. That is why His inspired word was written down; so that we don't need to go through a layer of human-controlled indirection. And the Bible is very clear: Saturday is the Sabbath which the 10 Commandments tell us to keep holy. I mean come on folks, there are only 10 Commandments and they are called Commandments because they are not suggestions, or opinions or personal preference. The Lord did not say pick thee one day from the week and keep it holy. Those who cannot follow the 10 Commandments will not enter the gates of Heaven. And make no mistake, He does not expect very many humans to pass His tests!!! His word tell us this in plain and simple terms:
Matthew Chapter 7:
13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

Sunday? Sunday is the first day of the week. Sabbath is Saturday. You can't find anything to back up that Sunday is the 7th day. Just look on your phone Calendar and see what's the first day of the week

You said...
The literal translation of the word Holy means set apart. In another word: different. The things that we do on Sundays are different than what we do Monday through Saturday.
So if we are living a wholesome life and respectful to the lords wishes I see no problem with fishing on Sunday. I don't fish during the week, I get no rest during the week, and almost all my time is in service to others during the week. Fishing on Sunday is me not doing the same as the other six days of the week. It's also personal alone time to reflect on things like the the lord and how I've done in his service the last six days of the week. It's ok to have an opinion on your interpretation of the lords word, when you tell others they are wrong you yourself go against the lords word, in my opinion only. Let's not forget that the scripture was written by man, not the Lord. To interpret the written word as literal hard law I believe is flawed, as it was written by man, and every man is himself flawed. This is just my opinion and in no way meant to be disrespectful or critical.

Check it out and enjoy your freedom in Christ!

Christ is the end of the law for all who believe. We died to to sin and the law so we can live through Christ. You have freedom to follow the Holy Spirit. Whoever is under the law is under a curse.

In Maryland, we have Sunday hunting. We also have a program called Hunter's and Farmers Feeding the Hungry. This program allows hunters to donate a harvested deer to feed the homeless at soup kitchens, food pantries and the like at the state's expense. In Matthew 12:11-12, Jesus stated the following:
He said to them, “If any of you has a sheep and it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will you not take hold of it and lift it out? 12: How much more valuable is a person than a sheep! Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.”
Therefore, if you go out on the morning of the Sabbath with the true and honest intention before the Lord of harvesting a deer for the purpose of donating it to that type of a program so that the homeless and the poor are able to eat to survive, would you not then be performing good work on the Sabbath and abiding by the what was said in the passage Matthew 12?

So what can you actually do with your family on the Sabbath. I know God doesn't want us to only read bible, sing worship songs, and go to church, He aldo wants us to relax rest, and enjoy what He created for us.

so if law is done away with as some claim.. why have any morals or questions about the sabbath command since we now have no law? silly lawless ones the love of messiah is when we keep his commands and those saved will have testimony of messiah and keep the commands

the sabbath is saturday and yes harvesting (hunting) doing uour own thing breaks sabbath

I will definitely be praying and asking God for guidance on this.

I think Christians need to observe the true sabbath day and not a man made day as Sunday. Some will say different I understand that's you manly way of thinking that you can change gods sabbath from even to even which mean sabbath day is from sun set Friday to sunset Saturday. To get a better understanding of the bible always remember 2 Corinthians 13:1 the testimony of two or three in a matter. Sabbath is a testimony of two even two even. Friday evening till Saturday evening. The sun and the moon testimony of two. Man and woman. The Father the Son the Holy Ghost testimony of three. This should open up new understanding in the bible for many.

didn't mean to emphasize the point! Computer got carried away!

I'm not Jewish and was never under the Old Covenant. My choice is the New Covenant or nothing.
The purpose of the law is to point you to Christ and show you need a savior because you can't follow the law.
The 10 commandments were letters on stone that brought death. 2 Cor 3:6-7

Law increases sin. Rom 7:8-11, Rom 5:20. What does the sign wet paint, do not touch! make you want to do?

Grace teaches us to say no to ungodliness, not the law. Titus 2:12

We are led by the Spirit, not under law. Gal 5:18

When you become a Christian, the purpose of the law has been fulfilled for you, and you are no longer under it. The law is for non-believers. Believers are to be led by the Spirit. But don't worry, the Spirit will never lead you to commit murder or adultery. You don't need the 10 commandments to hold you back.

This gives me much food for thought.... Thank you!

Being faithful to god is the most important thing that you can do and being in the woods where you can have a one on one conversation with our lord and savior,for god is my rock that I lean on everyday.

The software for the website couldn't actually insert the Greek letters. Where the text looks all funky, the English equivalent is, mia ton sabbaton. Hope that helps clear that up.

I laughed when I read this. Sorry, but the Sabbath is from sundown Friday until sundown Saturday. So hunting on Sunday is perfectly fine with God. Now, hunting on the Sabbath is all together another matter. God established the Sabbath as the last day of the week, known to most people as Saturday. And no where in the bible does God say it is okay to change from having our day of worship from the seventh day to the first day of the week.

For example, in Acts 20:7, most translations say something along the lines of, On the first day of the week we came together to break bread... Yet there are two things that must be looked at when reading this verse. First, the word day is in italics, which means it is not in the Greek. Second, when we look at the Greek μια Ïων σαββαÏων we realize that it should be translated First of the Sabbaths which is in reference to what Christians might know as the Feast of Weeks, or the Counting of the Omer. You see, in the bible we are told that after passover we are to count the Sabbaths, and after the seventh Sabbath, the next day is Pentecost.

Food for thought...

Shocking Catholic Church Statements:

It is well to remind the Presbyterians, Baptists, Methodists, and all other Christians, that the Bible does not support them anywhere in their observance of Sunday. Sunday is an institution of the Roman Catholic Church, and those who observe the day observe a commandment of the Catholic Church. Priest Brady, in an address, reported in the Elizabeth, NJ ‘News’ on March 18, 1903.

Protestants ... accept Sunday rather than Saturday as the day for public worship after the Catholic Church made the change... But the Protestant mind does not seem to realize that ... in observing Sunday, they are accepting the authority of the spokesman for the Church, the pope. Our Sunday Visitor, February 5th, 1950.

Deny the authority of the Church and you have no adequate or reasonable explanation or justification for the substitution of Sunday for Saturday in the Third - Protestant Fourth - Commandment of G-d... The Church is above the Bible, and this transference of Sabbath observance is proof of that fact.’’ Catholic Record, September 1, 1923.
