Question for Fellow Christians

[Anonymous No.18350437]

Question to my fellow /lit/ Christians:

Do you read on Sundays? To clarify, I'm not talking about leisurely reading, but reading for study.

I personally don't like to do it, as I can spend the time with God, friends, or family instead. What do you all think?

You can read and study what you want on the sabbath.
Man was not made for sabbath, sabbath was made for man, so as long as what you are doing is in good faith, there is nothing wrong with studying and reading on the sabbath.

I often do powerlifting on the sabbath because I don't see it as work, but as fun. Sabbath is just a day where you stop from normal life to enjoy a day free from work, a day that anticipates our coming lives in the New Jerusalem. Its a day where we stop from the work that we do to sustain ourselves physically on the Earth, not from the kind of fulfilling and meaningful work of the things we enjoy doing.

Q. 115. Which is the fourth commandment?
A. The fourth commandment is, Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work; but the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates. For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

Q. 116. What is required in the fourth commandment?
A. The fourth commandment requireth of all men the sanctifying or keeping holy to God such set times as he hath appointed in his word, expressly one whole day in seven; which was the seventh from the beginning of the world to the resurrection of Christ, and the first day of the week ever since, and so to continue to the end of the world; which is the Christian sabbath, and in the New Testament called The Lord's Day.

Q. 117. How is the sabbath or the Lord's day to be sanctified?
A. The sabbath or Lord's day is to be sanctified by an holy resting all the day, not only from such works as are at all times sinful, but even from such worldly employments and recreations as are on other days lawful; and making it our delight to spend the whole time (except so much of it as is to be taken up in works of necessity and mercy) in the public and private exercises of God's worship: and, to that end, we are to prepare our hearts, and with such foresight, diligence, and moderation, to dispose and seasonably dispatch our worldly business, that we may be the more free and fit for the duties of that day.

Q. 118. Why is the charge of keeping the sabbath more specially directed to governors of families, and other superiors?
A. The charge of keeping the sabbath is more specially directed to governors of families, and other superiors, because they are bound not only to keep it themselves, but to see that it be observed by all those that are under their charge; and because they are prone ofttimes to hinder them by employments of their own.

Q. 119. What are the sins forbidden in the fourth commandment?
A. The sins forbidden in the fourth commandment are, all omissions of the duties required, all careless, negligent, and unprofitable performing of them, and being weary of them; all profaning the day by idleness, and doing that which is in itself sinful; and by all needless works, words, and thoughts, about our worldly employments and recreations.

It's Sunday and i'm hungover again, already masturbated, going to ignore friends and then get drunk again tonight because memorial day is tomorrow. I miss when the church was still open.

I desire to meet freedom itself, that is, God, the source and the meaning of all things.
