I’m in church on Sundays. I don’t think God minds which day of the week we dedicate to Him.

I’m in church in my mind every day - don’t have to go to a building but I do any to be with like minded people.

I don’t want to get into that discussion directly, but I will provide food for thought.

I believe that it is pretty clear in the Garden of Eden what God expected of man related to the sabbath. He blessed the Seventh day and sanctified it. No other day was blessed by God as a pairing between him and man.

At the cross Christ died and was buried prior to sundown when the sabbath started. He awoke after the sabbath had ended.

Here thousands of years apart, the sabbath was still something to be reckoned with.

God requested a sacrifice of an animal from Able and Cain to point forward to the Sacrificial Lamb, who would purchase the souls of humans back from Satan. Cain brought fruit to sacrifice, and God would not accept it. Cain wound up killing able out of jealousy.

Man was urged to separate from his parents and couple up with a woman. Now men couple with men and women couple with women. Should we merely say that God doesn’t really care any longer about that sort of thing?

You see, Satan is the great deceiver. If he can’t get you to openly forsake God, he’ll try to bend the rules, so that you can still claim to yourself that you are adhering to God’s command. It’s up to you how you come down on that.

I’m not going to make any claims about what God will judge people by. It’s up to each of us to determine that for ourselves, after due diligence.

You are not off base with common orthodoxy these days. What you stated is commonly held to be true.

Take care.
