Grant, I wonder if you are a football fan? Just because, if so, I hope you're demanding to the team ownership that the whole team should be put to death immediately. After all, a literal reading of the Bible does tell us that anyone who works on Sunday should be killed, right? And you've apparently linked belief in Christ with blindly following everything in the Bible.

Wrong. The Bible makes no such statement. Nowhere in scripture is the Sabbath, the 7th day of the week, equated with Sunday, the first day of the week.
I have no problem whatsoever with his meanness. I do, however, have a very serious problem with his lack of presence.
Presence, or presents? You want... what? God to be a wish granter, like a Genie?

All over America and in fact most of the world, the airways are filled with filth and degeneracy. Oh, to be sure, it requires a receiver set to receive and modulate the signals, but in such an environment, would you expect God to be close at hand?
He is as close as we want him to be. We’re the ones making Him keep his distance.
God doesn’t hate everyone; He just hates you.

Before Christ we were so steeped in the sin and He had to deal with the problem directly Himself. Then Christ took it all on His shoulders and He decided to step back. Remember, He incarnated into Christ so he now understands all the more our failings. Before that He didn’t fully understand what it was to be human.
None that I have ever read. YHvH's commanded day of rest is Shabbat alway was always will be. Sunday worship is a Pagan myth promulgated by the Roman church What "Bible" are you reading ?
shalom b'SHEM Yah'shua HaMashiach
in the fourth century.
Feel free to choose which one you'd be willing to give us insight towards...
How about;
Are you Swank? An assistant? Paid? Not paid? A fan of his? (that would be ok, nothing particularly the matter with that) But please, help us out...anything actually towards answering these questions could be good PR (public relations) for Swank.
Not answering, of course, would be bad PR. The choice, is all your own...
Because the main stream media wont give Him a break. Now if he were a Liberal Democrat, he would have no problems with public relations.
This guy needs to read the Gospel where Jesus and his disciples technically violate the Sabbath in a narrow legalistic way. Jesus points out that “the Sabbath was made for man,” not the other way around. Some masters would have been happy to work people 7 days, but the Sabbath gave them rest, and a chance to thank God.
Oh come on, didn't understand?
What moron wrote this?
If we read the article, we see it well explained that God is not “mean.”
For those responding without reading the article, particularly those with a complaint, I say:
God is not mean. He is just.
God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son. Has anyone on this board given his only beloved son’s life for an enemy? No, and none of us would.
God did not wink at sin. Because He is just, the penalty had to be paid. Because He is merciful, He paid with His own blood.
You have not understood the Bible’s deity.
Read the Book again.
And we wonder how cultic theology comes into being.
Thanks for your note.
