I just wanted to ask this short quick question. What do you think of Christians who goes to work or open their shops on Sunday? My personal opinions are; Except you’re a 7th Day Adventist Christian, a university student (probably needing to attend a tutorial) and a government worker e.g Health workers and Security outfits. I believe God made Sunday for rest and he commanded it. What is your own opinion? And if I’m wrong, tell me why with scriptural references. Thanks in advance

Christianity is not against going to work on Sundays, so it's not a sin. But anything that will deprive you time to effectively serve God is a sin. 27 Likes 4 Shares |

The bible didn't specify when is the Sabbath day... And besides the Sabbath day was meant to be kept holy... In my opinion, I see nothing wrong in going to work or business on Sunday, at least after you have gone to church... That's if you are a Christian ooo And remember, Christianity and Islam isn't the only religion... 3 Likes 1 Share |

Mathew 12:1 At that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath. His disciples were hungry and began to pick some heads of grain and eat them. Mathew 12:2 When the Pharisees saw this, they said to him, “Look! Your disciples are doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath.” Mathew 12:3-4 He answered, “Haven’t you read what David did when he and his companions were hungry? He entered the house of God, and he and his companions ate the consecrated bread—which was not lawful for them to do, but only for the priests. Mathew 12:6-7 I tell you that something greater than the temple is here. If you had known what these words mean, ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice,’ you would not have condemned the innocent. What Jesus is saying here is that it is ok to work on the Sabbath day if you are hungry. That is if you need the work to feed yourself. After all, can a hungry man have strength to serve God or dance in church? Don't tell me the holy spirit is the only strength you need. The holy spirit was with Jesus everywhere he goes. His disciples were the closest to him and they were doing what we do today (preaching the world of God). Yet they had to stop at the grainfields (a farm) to havest grains to feed on. The Bible said they were hungry. Jesus then went further to clarify what is really important in verse 6 and 7. He said something greater than the temple is here. referring to himself.. That he desire mercy, not sacrifice. The temple in this context is what we may refer to as the Church. So he is telling us that we shouldn't lose focus of what Christianity is really all about. And that is him, Jesus Christ. We sacrificing our work, hunger to go to church is not what he desire. He desire mercy. What is mercy? Oxford languages dictionary define Mercy as compassion or forgiveness shown towards someone whom it is within one's power to punish or harm. The Pharisees wouldn't have condemned his deciple if they new that mercy is what God desires. Funny thing was that Jesus and his deciples were actually heading to the synagogue. They got this condemnation from the Pharisees just because they were seen havesting fruits and eating in the farm. So we should learn to understand people before we condemned them. If someone is not going to church, approach the person to know why. Try to look at things from their perspective and offer a solution (if you can) that might them. Don't just jump into condemnation. People who go to church are not better than those who do not go to church. We are all children of God and should advice non Church goers on the importance of going to church rather than imposing our superiority over them. 20 Likes 3 Shares |

After the church service, u can go and open your shop if you wish to. The most important thing in a Christian is genuine relationship with Jesus Christ. 13 Likes 1 Share |

shogotermies:Read your Bible OP, Christ is the Lord of the Sabbath . It's not a sin to work on the Sabbath day Mt 12:2-8 2 When the Pharisees saw this, they said to him, “Look! Your disciples are doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath.” 3He answered, “Haven’t you read what David did when he and his companions were hungry? 4He entered the house of God, and he and his companions ate the consecrated bread—which was not lawful for them to do, but only for the priests. 5Or haven’t you read in the Law that the priests on Sabbath duty in the temple desecrate the Sabbath and yet are innocent? 6I tell you that something greater than the temple is here. 7If you had known what these words mean, ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice,’ a you would not have condemned the innocent. 8 For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.” 1 Like 1 Share |

GanagiBitrus: Smiles. I hope you know "going to church" isn't the same thing as "serving God" Going to church is simply having communion with the one another. And sharing God's word to strengthen one another in the faith. It is not serving God. Serving God is what you do all the days of the week. It is what you do with your life. 9 Likes 1 Share |

You can not go to work every Sunday. There are some Sunday you go to work and there are some Sunday you don't go. Just keep pushing forward and trust God for another job that will allow you to serve your God wholeheartedly. Remember Bible says "do not forsake the assembly of your brethren" |

 If they don't work on sunday, how will they feed, how will they pay tithe? Even the bible says give ceaser to ceaser and God what belongs to God... So they need to work, so as to be able to cater for themselves and even the need of the church... So that's why most churches ⛪️ now have different service hours to cater for everybody's timing.... 1 Like |
