Well, as long as they claim to keep the Ten Commandments - as most Christians claim they do - then they probably should. HOWEVER, most Christians believe that the Sabbath as per the 4th-commandment is Sunday. Most, in fact, have NO IDEA that the Sabbath is Saturday or, rather, Friday sunset thru' Saturday sunset. SO, they believe that by going to church on Sunday they ARE keeping the 4th-command. If I've learned anything from my 25-year tenure as a 'Christian'* it's that the majority of "Christians" are SO in ignorance about the very book they purport to uphold.

*I was baptized a Christian in 1988. Since then I've learned that "Christian" is just a word that people often apply rather loosely to themselves whether they actually 'live' their claim to the label or whether they don't. If people see me as being 'Christ-like' because of my 'fruits' then I'm a Christian to them. If they don't, then I'm not. These days I don't feel the need to attach the label to myself as though I'm a member of some select club.

The Seventh Day Adventists are the only ones who get it right.

And, perhaps, the 7th-day Baptists but I don't know much about them.

Yes, I understand that and that's fine. But, most Christians THINK that they're being obedient to the 4th-command by going to church Sunday. If the average Christian were asked, "Which day is the Sabbath?" they would invariably reply, "Sunday is the Sabbath." In other words they haven't got a clue what a major Bible command - the 4th-command of the Big Ten - actually means. If an airline pilot knew as little about the Aviation Manual as the average Christian knows about their Bible I wouldn't dream of boarding his plane.

The deity must be very up itself if it requires a special day to be put aside to worship it.


NO human or entity should require worship!

I sort of agree with you but the 7th-day Sabbath is more a commemoration of the completion of Creation than a call to worship.

If the deity was responsible for creation it screwed up BIG TIME, so there is nothing to commemorate!
