I merely pointed out the fallacy (and danger) of interposing the fallible opinions of men (no matter how "wise") as authoritative "legislators" between the "partners".

Good to know that, dear brother in Christ! Thank you ever so much for the further elaborartion/clarification of the issue at point! Certainly I have no problem with it. To put it mildly....

No man can claim (or be said) to be "wise" who thinks he is free to chart his own course, without reference to the truth of reality. Which he does not/cannot make. Himself.

All thanks and praise and glory be to God!

Thank you so very much for sharing your insights, dear brother and sister in Christ!

My brother and his branch of the family are observant Christians who celebrate the Sabbath. As I recall, they tape over the light switches to avoid doing work by reflex. But perhaps they also think it would making a fire, which it is not as you have explained. I'll need to discuss that with them.

The rest of my family, also Christian, does not observe the Sabbath and instead observes the Lord's Day (Sunday.)

Personally, I look forward to Christ's 1,000 year reign on earth as the prophesied Sabbath (Genesis et al)

Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath [days]: Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body [is] of Christ. - Colossians 2:16-17

To God be the glory!
