When I was younger I knew of Christians who would keep Sunday as the sabbath and were quite strict about it too. No work, no housework even, no shopping, no TV etc. However they would travel more than a sabbath’s day journey to get to church and seemed ignorant of the fact that Saturday was the Jewish sabbath anyway. Even at a young age I found it all quite odd.
In later years I realised that Jesus wasn’t a sabbath keeper and in fact even rewrote Mosaic law (verbally of course) and in later years still I abandoned the idea that any sort of religious dogma, creed and rules were somehow sacred. For me this has been liberating and enabled me to see new wisdom in the teachings of Jesus. I’ve also seen the latent spiritually hypocrisy which can creep into the attitudes and behaviours of some Christians who hang onto some, traditional precepts and teachings have been handed down in one form or another, either through family, church denomination or interpretations of the bible.
Any thoughts on this?
