My Christian View of Sabbath

[jennifer_bloom]

I never used to keep the sabbath because I could not find a biblical explanation for keeping it that applied to Christians, but then I realized that having depression for 25 years until 2020 and anxiety disorders for 12 years between the ages of 9-20 and post traumatic stress disorder from ages 9-15 and than working on my book projects 7 days a week for 2.6 years was taking a toll on my heart health.

According to the book I read, somebody with the number of problems I had in child hood had a 100% chance of getting heart disease in old age. And I realized, God mandated the sabbath because restfulness heals your body and heart and mind and spirit and soul. So now I detach from my writing one day a week to meditate and heal.

Because rest has healing properties.

I am not religues, but in my family we take the sabuth as a day of rest, staying off the net completely, freeing the mind, speanding time with the family without screens
It did good, till it kind of become its own family religion we keep, there something really good in it

The Sabbath (Shabbat) is out of the Jewish tradition. Roman emperor Constantine declared Sunday (the first day of the week) as the recognized day of worship throughout the empire to unify his people. It is not a whacko Catholic conspiracy. It is a religious tradition just like Christmas, which actually happened at another time.

Remember the sabbath and keep it holy, after God made the heaven and the earth and many other things he created on the 7th day he rested, most people literally think Sunday is the sabbath thats the first day of the week, look at your calender and you will see that Saturday is the true sabbath!
