What I think of the Christian / Jewish Sabbath

[jennifer_bloom]

For a long while, I was not interested in resting or relaxing and I could not rest properly because the health products I was taking were making it hard for me to fall asleep at night. I was always wondered I would forget an idea and not get things done on time if I rested and I was worried God would punish me for being lazy if I was unproductive or I would fail to earn the money that I need to expand my financial empire.

But what I realized since I want to author books is that when you take one day off to rest, you are able to return to your work with a new mindset, fresh eyes, fresh perspectives and a more objective critique. I also discovered legal medicinal mushrooms and now I sleep like a baby and my metabolism is speeding up to. I learned about Google docs and no longer have to email my notes to myself over and over and I learned how to create file folders and duplicate essential documents and cut and paste using only my fingers on my cell phone. All of this saved me time and enabled me to rest.

So I believe the sabbath is a therapeutic day for meditation, for healing, for cleansing, for recovery, for re-emergency, for achieving epiphany, for deconstructing emotional bitterness and built up tension, and for restoring the mind and heart and body and soul with enlightenment procedures that allow you to move on to the next stage of your work projects. People used to tell me that when they gave up their time to serve or seek God, that God would compensate them for the time they sacrificed to devote themselves to religious activities, it’s also a habitual and regular mechanism for rezoning faith and spirituality in your life so that the perimeter of your existence becomes faith and growth and not purely tertiary or circumstantial navigation.

That is why I believe keeping the sabbath is important.

I believe that as well.
This was a good Take. Thanks for sharing it.

I'm personally Christian

I did not do it for the longest time. Now I refuse to work on Sundays. God has always been there for me. I figure the least I could do is give him one day where I go to church, meditate, read scripture and pray. To tell you the truth I have never been happier since doing it and things are working out for me and seem easier.

I am an atheist but I like the passion you have for those topics. I hope I don't offend you but I like when women are passionate about something from their lives.
Also, in terms of morals I am not that against christian morals. There's things I would never do though because I don't believe in God, but I respect your believes.
From my perspective there's lots of values from Christianity that make sense in terms of having a healthy society. And if they were followed today probably we would be in less trouble.
I say this but I am also aware that this will never change the fact that I don't believe, because I have my strong reasons for that.
But yes your text on sabath is interesting and the perspective about having a day to rest is very important to have a healthy life. Or that's how I see it.

Sabbath to Sunday, was not done to differentiate between Christians and Jews. Early Christians kept the Saturday, seventh day Sabbath. The bible says to keep the Sabbath, and there is nothing in the bible that changes Sabbath to Sunday. That is a human construct, that goes against the instruction of God, in the bible.

“Observe the Sabbath day by keeping it holy, as the LORD your God has commanded you.”

[cth96190]

There is no Christian sabbath.
The sabbath was abolished when Jesus died, along with the rest of the law of Moses, despite what nutters such as Ellen G. White may clain.
