The Highway Forums General Discussion Theology Discussion Forum Where do you and/or your church stand?

And I would bet you are correct. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> I intentionally used the phraseology that I did in the hopes of leaving some "wiggle room". There have been those historically, most in the Baptist camp, for example, John Bunyan and C.H. Spurgeon among others, who reject the binding of the day and as a strict definition of the "Sabbath", i.e., the Fourth Commandment yet they have held that Sunday, aka: "The Lord's Day" is to be sanctified and ironically used such texts as Isaiah 58:13, 14 as applicable to how Sunday should be viewed. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/scratch1.gif" alt="" /> For that I am thankful.

All others basically view Sunday, (the Christian Sabbath or The Lord's Day) as one which you go to church in the morning (sometimes evening as well) and do whatever you so desire thereafter; e.g., go to the beach, play volleyball, competitive sports, etc., etc., rather than restricting your thoughts and deeds to that which is specific to the worship of God.

I thought this would be an interesting survey and so far none have voted "No" as to the first question, unfortunately. Perhaps over the next week there will be some. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/shrug.gif" alt="" />
