I also am not trying to pick on any one, i believe it is fine to hold service any day of the week except Saturday. FOURTH COMMANDMENT. Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. And as has already been stated. Genesis 2 3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made. It was a day of rest.

Yes, but I think it goes a little deeper than that.

Isa 58:13 "If you turn away your foot from the Sabbath, From doing your pleasure on My holy day, And call the Sabbath a delight, The holy day of the LORD honorable, And shall honor Him, not doing your own ways, Nor finding your own pleasure, Nor speaking your own words,
Isa 58:14 Then you shall delight yourself in the LORD; And I will cause you to ride on the high hills of the earth, And feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father. The mouth of the LORD has spoken."

This has to do with recognizing and living in the holiness of the day. In my understanding and experience the sabbath and the feast days of the Lord are absolutely infused with his presence that is on a level above and beyond his presence in our lives at other times. The verses above are basically instructing us to find and recognize that holiness, to live it and breathe it and forget about what man's considers "restful". Sleep all day? Well that might make us feel better physically but there's not really a spiritual component to it. Worship on the sabbath is part of finding it a delight...part of recognizing and honoring what God made holy.

You could be right, but Jesus said you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.

Maybe it is just me because i do not like fences or walls, and i do not like authority except what i see in the Words of Jesus, i will take my chances.

Jesus said man was not made for the Sabbath, but the Sabbath was made for man.

So that is the reason for my take on the rest.
