“The moral law stands on an entirely different foundation from the ceremonial or ritual law.”
God gave man his own will to decision. (Matthew 23) So by requiring people to work on the sabbath, depending on what day it is based upon different religions is man’s decision...both to require it and work it.
I guess my question is where was he when he was briefed prior to taking the job that he wouldn’t be required to work any day assigned even holidays? If he had a problem with that, he never should have accepted the job offer. Now he’s decided he doesn’t want to work on his sabbath so what has he been doing and why now? It isn’t the job of the employer to determine if he can’t work a given day for religious purposes if the original job wouldn’t allow it.
“Protestants used to believe what this guy believes.”
Depends on how far back you go with those beliefs. There was also a belief that a fair days wage for a a fair day’s work was part of the trust in both the employer and employee. So what prompted this sudden pulling back by the employee after he was aware he could be assigned to work on any day and he agreed to take the job under those terms?
But this is not over, yet. The case now returns to the lower courts.
The justices clarified law that made it illegal for employers to discriminate based on religion, requiring that they accommodate the religious beliefs of workers as long as the accommodation does not impose an “undue hardship on the employer’s business.” The court had previously defined the statutory term “undue hardship” by saying that employers should not have to bear more than what the court called a “de minimis,” or trifling, cost.
Having to reassign people to work extra hours which may cause overtime in the terms of big money when all the employees step forward, will exceed trifling cost as it could be thousands, will have to be addressed and decisions made. All the SCOTUS did was pass the buck.

U kind of lost me. It’s not that hard. God made the 7th day HOLY at creation, before sin. And he said he made it FOR me, for man, for adam for all of us. It’s a gift to us. A day set apart so we won’t come apart.
Why is it in the 10 commandments there with lying and stealing? Because in that one commandment, God reveals his authority to make the law. The Sabbath is his seal of authority......”Lord God, creator of heaven and earth.”
That is who the lawgiver and lawmaker is. And no church can make a day holy. Rome claims it is the mark of her authority over scripture to transfer the solemnity of the Sabbath to Sunday. At least she’s honest. She knows there is no Bible support for it. She even looks at Protestants and says....why Sunday? That’s our day. The Bible says Sabbath, the 7th day. And she’s correct.
Fact is, Daniel told us aobut this haughty power, the little horn. Arising out of Rome. And Daniel even tells us she would “think to change set times and law.”
The Sabbath is the only commandment in the law having to do with time.
The Christian church used to uphold the 10 commandments. Now look at them.....they have talked themselves out of it...all because of the Sabbath.
They can twist and turn and bend all the scripture they want. Jesus said NOT ONE JOT OR TITTLE till all heaven and earth pass away.
That is why John Wesley said the following.......and today.....nobody believes it. Bizarre to me:
This ‘handwriting of ordinances’ our Lord did blot out, take away, and nail to His cross. (Colossians 2: 14.) But the moral law contained in the Ten Commandments, and enforced by the prophets, He did not take away.... The moral law stands on an entirely different foundation from the ceremonial or ritual law. ...Every part of this law must remain in force upon all mankind and in all ages.
