Dear, Here are the Ten Commandments that Almighty God Told Moses to tell all of us.

The Ten Commandments (Exodus 20:2-17 NKJV)
1 “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall have no other gods before Me.
2 “You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My Commandments.
3 “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.
4 “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.
5 “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you.
6 “You shall not murder.
7 “You shall not commit adultery.
8 “You shall not steal.
9 “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
10 “You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's.”

Jesus Christ said, "Heaven and Earth will pass away. But comma ( , ) will not miss from from the word of God.

Only if you perform an essential service - Life or Death decision maker. If your Donkey falls in a Well on the Sabbath, will you not take it out? However, don't specifically use the Sabbath day (Sunday for Christians), to do work that CAN have been done on other days, if you are in control of making such decisions.

Sunday worship is never an institution of God, it is a man made institution. The true sabbath of God is Saturday being the seventh day of the week. Exodus 20:8 says “Remenber the Sabbath day to keep it holy, six days shall thou labour and do all your works but the seventh day is the sabbath day of the Lord...

Early on the 1st Day of the Week, The women went to the tomb of Jesus Christ... He rose on the 1st Day, Hence Christians have the Sabbath as Sunday. The Jews that Killed Jesus, refuse to honour Jesus and continue with Saturday. Jesus is the son of God. Phillip, do you still ask to see the Father? To see me is to have seen the Father.

According to your book of horror stories (the Bible)



It says....(Numbers 15:32-36)--"Now while the sons of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering wood on the sabbath day. 33And those who found him gathering wood brought him to Moses and Aaron, and to all the congregation; 34and they put him in custody because it had not been declared what should be done to him. 35Then the Lord said to Moses, "The man shall surely be put to death; all the congregation shall stone him with stones outside the camp." 36So all the congregation brought him outside the camp, and stoned him to death with stones, just as the Lord had commanded Moses."




What a good and merciful God
Luke 14:3 And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day? Luke 14:5 And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not straightway pull him out on the sabbath day?

It wont be a SIN if after you attended church service

But, it is not stated in the bible

Sunday is not Sabbath. If you want to keep Sabbath, keep it on Saturdays, for crying out loud!

OsamedeHazard10:
The Bible says Remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy. Even God said on the 7th day he rested so your not supposed to be working on Sunday
Your submission suffers severe confusion.

You mean you are ignorant that Saturday, NOT Sunday, is Sabbath? You mean you don't know Sunday is the first day of week? You need more education. Period!

That's what Jesus tried to point out to the pharisees, keeping it holy is a thing of lifestyle and not just from inaction. To the believers, the Sabbath day is everyday, and not a particular day of the week. We need to live righteously and please God all the time.
Jesus did good on the Sabbath, he harvested corn from the field, he healed the sick , he did what he would have done on any other day just to let us know that the Sabbath God requires is by our lifestyle of righteousness.

Is cooking not considered work? Why don't we all starve on Sunday, since we don't want to work.

Why would God allow people to fall sick on Sunday if he truly intended that we don't work on Sunday? - why would he punish the doctors and nurses who work to save the lives of his children on Sunday. What of the taxi driver, cleaner, policemen and several others who make it possible for us to live, eat, get to church, worship God - is God's law designed to make them sin and go to hell?
I wonder the anarchy that will ensue if policemen, NEPA engineers etc decided to stay home or spend the entire day in church and refuse to work on Sunday.

I am at work now, saving lives, the lives of God's children and I give God thanks for making it possible for me to do so.

Nigerians and sin/law. It's never a sin or against God's when we want to deceive others, swindle them of their money or dupe them - oh; I forgot it's called deal or contract. Rubbish. Let's first remove the plank in our eyes before trying to remove the speck in another person's eye.
The pastors that preach this rubbish are busy collecting money from corrupt politicians who have raped our future and our dear country.

I only see here why many Christians are been deceived. We don't study the bible, we only wait for someone to go and read and come and tell us and we just accept. If the word of God is true and our salvation depend on it, we would have done better than most of the things am reading here. In the first place SUNDAY IS THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK. SATURDAY IS THE LAST DAY OF THE WEEK so SUNDAY IS NOT THE SABBATH DAY, SATURDAY IS THE SABBATH DAY! Go and read your bible! Those pastors are not better than you, search the scriptures. Everyday is a day of worship!

I'm sure it's God's spirit contending with you on the subject you just posted. First and foremost, Sunday is not the "Sabbath of the Lord thy God". A careful study of the Bible will reveal to you that Saturday, not sunday is the sabbath.

Now, to answer your question. The breaking of God's commandment is a sin. No human rationalisation can change that. Going to work on Sunday is never a sin. Rather, refusing to keep a commandment of God that a special day, the 7th day of the week which is saturday, be set aside for Him is the real problem.

One can work on the sabbath. The question is just that: whose purpose does it serves? Yours or God's? If what you are doing on the sabbath is YOUR own way, dear, you are sinning. "If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honourable; and shalt honour him, NOT DOING THINE OWN WAYS, NOT FINDING THINE OWN PLEASURE, NOR SPEAKING THINE OWN WORD" (Isaiah 58:13 KJV).

If you are a doctor, the sabbath should not be used as an excuse to abdicate your role of saving lives. However, needless task and other things that can be done on other days should be avoided. It's a day God had fixed from the inception of this world to commune specially with his children. Just a pity that majority of people are missing out!

If you have studied scriptures and allowed the Holy Ghost to reveal the interpretations to you, you would know that most of the things in the old testament are shadows of the things in the new. When the old testament laws were given it was to signify something else in the new testament.
For us in the new testament, the Sabbath is not just a day. I would not want to go further as I'm finding a stop in my spirit.

Lemme just answer your question directly, as a Christian you can work on Sundays from time to time as long as you have your time to fellowship with the brethren at other times.

Apostle had something to say about this in Colossians 2vs 16 . You can read through the entire chapter to get what he was saying clearly.

Shalom
