If you go to church on Sunday, can you go to work after? (scripture, Israel)

Galatians 2:21
I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.

Romans 6:15
15 What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.

I never once said that what Jesus said was a lie. You are making false statements and what will it get you? Not a place I would want to be for sure.

Jesus said He came only to the Jews and you said He came to both Jew and Gentile. That is calling it a lie. End of story.

So very sad you are! have a blessed day. Jesus came for the world, but hey, you go ahead and continue to play your nonsensical games. It will get you nowhere. I will pray for you.

Let's let Jesus explain it:

He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”

So i guess you were never lost, but i guess you holler like the best of them when you sing Amazing Grace.

I once was lost(even though i'm not a jew) but know i'm (oh i must be a jew then).

Well if really not lost then a "spiritual" Jew. Grafted in.

Not that I'm encouraging making Sunday a work week in more places, as if most of us aren't overworked as it is... I'm just curious.

If the United States was a Christian country, (like some people want to think) don't you think we would still have Blue Laws?

If it was, it wouldn't need them. Christians would avoid such things anyway.

As I've pointed out to many, for some, work is an absolute necessity on Sunday, doctors, nurses, people who keep the power plants on, police and firemen. This is not the Old Testament. But Christians should be in church when possible, and be active members of the congregation. Not being part of an active worshiping congregation is to put your faith and salvation at risk. But working after church, I don't see the problem. Sometimes you can't get away from it. But, I've never quite figured out why so many think taking time to rest, relax with family, play is a bad thing. Some people are just way too focused on work and chores.

I don't want to argue about the days. I would really like to know if working 7 days a week is breaking the commandment, is going to church on one of those 7 days enough to say it's not being broken.
