[PAR35]

Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work; but the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates. For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

we observe the Sabbath

Somebody needs to tell these folks that the Sabbath is on Saturday, i.e. the seventh day. (Look at your calendars.) Sunday is the "L-rd's Day," not the Sabbbath.

And it happened on the second chief sabbath, He went through the grain fields. And His disciples plucked the heads of grain and ate, rubbing them in their hands. And certain of the Pharisees said to them, Why do you do that which is not lawful to do on the sabbath days? And answering, Jesus said to them, Have you not read this, what David did when he was hungry, and those who were with him; how he went into the house of God and took the showbread, and ate (and also gave to those who were with him) which it is not lawful to eat, except for the priests alone? And He said to them, The Son of Man is Lord also of the sabbath.
(Luk 6:1-5)

Covenant College Forfeits Women’s Tennis Championship Match Because Scheduled On Sunday

The US Constitution enshrines this concept in law by not requiring the President to work on Sundays.

Kudos to Covenant! The NCAA has started to schedule college football games on weekdays, and it won’t be long before they schedule games on Sunday. It’s high time someone is finally standing up to them.

went to arch rival Tennessee Temple in Chat 1970 semester. Emptied the basketball court when they pushed some stone lion across the court they stole the year before. They won the game.

Theological differences aside, I respect them for standing by their beliefs.

[SharpRightTurn]

Bravo. With all the groups out there pushing homo/lesbo/transgender this/cis-gender that, it is both refreshing and encouraging to see a group take a stand like this.

FYI, if you’re driving into Chattanooga, Tenn. eastward on I-24 and look over at Lookout Mountain and see what looks like a castle in the clouds, that’s Covenant College. Very pretty sight.

I saw the same item today on Aquila Report. Good for Covenant for taking a stand on this.

For the people who are arguing about the correct day for Sabbath observance — you’re missing the point. If I saw a secular college respecting the right of a Seventh Day Adventist or an Orthodox Jew to not work on Saturday, or the right of a Roman Catholic to attend Mass on Good Friday, I’d be happy that the school was respecting religious freedom.

The issue is that people need to stand up for our religious freedoms or we will lose them. I think most Freepers will agree with that.
