Now, IF the Exodus 16 passage is to be held as a universal principle to which one must adhere to rightly observe the Sabbath Day, then the Pharisees were correct and Jesus Christ was guilty as charged. Personally, I have no desire to go there.

Again, we must be very careful not to impose man's tradition(s) upon the conscience as if they were written in stone by the very finger of God Himself. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

In His grace,


Pilgrim,

The way your expressing the view of preparing for the Lord's day is a little inflated. Exodus 16:22,23 are just nice EXAMPLES. There may be some who feel they must adhere but I think most just do it to honor the Lord by giving him more time and realize that they are not making the day more "holy" by their works. I don't know of any, including myself who impose traditions upon the conscience of their fellow Christians as if they were written in stone by the very finger of God Himself and if there is shame on them.

1 Corinthians 6:12 ¶ All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.

1 Corinthians10:23 ¶ All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.
