FK: The OT wasn't wrong. Properly interpreted it teaches that God is to be honored on the Sabbath. Doing good honors God.

No, FK, the OT says that any work is prohibited on a Sabbath. It couldn't be more plain. [several supporting scriptures]

It is obvious then that Jesus did not consider "doing good" to be "OT work", as in the passages you cite.

No, FK, we are having a lawyer moment here. :) What the OT says is "any work" (on more than one occasion and by more than one author), which really leaves no wiggle room, and we are looking (hopelessly I might add) for a legal "loophole" in order not to admit that Christ disputes Moses on this.
