Numbers 15 : 32 "And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man that gathered sticks upon the sabbath day. 33 And they that found him gathering sticks brought him unto Moses and Aaron, and unto all the congregation. 34 And they put him in ward, because it was not declared what should be done to him. 35 And the LORD said unto Moses, The man shall be surely put to death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones without the camp. 36 And all the congregation brought him without the camp, and stoned him with stones, and he died; as the LORD commanded Moses."
Early Christians, at first mainly Jewish, observed the seventh-day Sabbath with prayer and rest, but gathered on the seventh day, Saturday, reckoned in Jewish tradition as beginning, like the other days, at sunset on what would now be considered the Friday evening. At the beginning of the second century Ignatius of Antioch approved non-observance of the Sabbath.

"The now majority practice of Christians is to observe Sunday, called the Lord's Day, rather than the Jewish seventh-day Sabbath as a day of rest and worship. in line with ideas of the 16th and 17th-century Puritans, the Presbyterian and Congregationalist, as well as Methodist and Baptist Churches, enshrined first-day (Sunday) Sabbatarian views in their confessions of faith, observing the Lord's Day as the Christian Sabbath."
so the sabbath depends on which faith you believe in it seems
Have you committed the most egregious sin of all time by working on the sabbath (Sunday)?
When you’re talking about Jews, the sabbath (Shabbat) is Saturday, NOT Sunday! Technically, in the home, Shabbat begins 30mins before sundown on Friday, but in the temple Shabbat begins at sunset on Friday. The Shabbat ends at sunset on Saturday. Given that I am NOT an observant Jew, yes I have absolutely worked on a Sunday AND a Saturday, and even Friday after sundown… and so has my mother. But, if you are going to discuss traditional forms of capital punishment, stoning isn’t the only form of death penalty. In olden traditional Jewish law there were four types of capital punishment: a) stoning, b) burning by ingesting molten copper, (often lead is cited) c) strangling, and d) beheading. Each method being the punishment for very specific offenses. However, the standards for obtaining a death penalty under Mosaic Law were next to impossible to meet, and thus were very rarely ever handed down. Some restrictions being the requirement of TWO witnesses who not only saw the crime, but saw each other, and both warned the accused that what he was about to do was a a sin against God, but the accused acknowledged that he knew it was a sin worthy of death, but he was going to do it anyway. (As MOST of these were for sexual offenses, the likelihood of anyone having two witnesses, and actually saying “I know being a male homosexual is a sin, but I’m definitely doing it anyway” was quite slim) then the witnesses were questioned by a court of 23 judges where a minimum of 13 votes was required for a conviction. And if any fact differed in the testimonies of either witness, even something insignificant like the color of the person’s eyes, the accused must be set free. Also, if the accused repented at any point, there could be no execution! In modern Israel the last execution was carried out in 1962, when Holocaust architect Adolf Eichmann was hanged for genocide and crimes against humanity. The last death sentence in Israel was handed down in 1988, when John Demjanjuk was sentenced to death for war crimes and crimes against humanity; although his sentence (and conviction) was subsequently overturned in 1993 following an appeal to the Israeli Supreme Court. No death sentences have been sought by Israeli prosecutors since the 1990s. Source: My own knowledge, and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_punishment_in_Israel
People still come to eat on Sundays. And someone has to serve them. 😂 And I'm going to work in healthcare, illness and injury don't stop on Sundays. 😭😂
If you think Sabbath breaking is the worst sin, you're missing the point of your own religion.
There's a lot worse things to do in life than violating a religious ritual. You could murder someone, which is what Moses and Joshua did to the guy who gathered sticks on the sabbath. You could rape someone. Yo oculd lie, cheat, steal, adulterate, blaspheme, etc.
No it's not. Elsewhere in the Bible it tells you feast days and holy days do not matter.
The person who wrote the Torah was an idiot.
Genesis contains literally one HALF of one true statement in the entire book.
"In the Beginning God..." is a True Phrase.
In the Beginning God Created" is a FALSE phrase. God did not Create everything in the beginning. God waited an unspecified eternity before he created his first Creation.
IN the Beginning God Created THE Heaven is false.
In the Begnning God created Earth is false. Earth is half as old as the Universe, so it could not have been created in the beginning.
False statement. the first and most important sentence in the Bible is an outright lie.
The Creation story is in the wrong order, making it false.
The Ten Commandments in Exodus are DERIVABLE from the Silver Rule and Golden Rule, so you do not need Moses to derive them. The rest of Exodus is a MYTH. The Jews were never slaves in Egypt and I doubt whoever wrote the first 7 books of the Bible had ever visited Egypt in their lifetime, if they had, they'd have mentioned the pyramids and the Libraries in Egypt... instead of inventing myths about Joseph ruling Egypt for 90 years.
Stop reading this crap, and pray for THE TRUE CREATOR to correct you.
Exodus is the same way.
The entire book is a lie and the god it promotes is not the True Creator.
Seeing as I'm no one to my job, and they got some n*gga doing my job I did on a Sunday, I do my best to NEVER work on Sunday.
Hey, wanna hear a story? Okay, so we didn't have power for 11 hours and 50 minutes. Soo i'm an on call security guard and i needed a charge to my laptop to charge my phone. I go to this little place I know the code to use the bathroom and charge my stuff. I see this dude, in there, working for the company I work with. I explained him my situation because I had no reason to lie, also I'm sure he's like "What the hell is this bish doing and where she co-" anyways, he turned a blind eye but my boss really just be picking people to work. But IF IT CAME TO ME ASKING FOR WORK, I DON'T EXIST.
The first thing that stands out is the idea of an egregious sin, which raises the question "Does God qualify our sins"? Is one sin any greater than another? Is there any sin greater than the sin that occurred in the garden. Thumbing your nose at the Creator of the Universe. Demanding our own Sovereignty. That was a Big one. Anything after that has been predictable in God's eyes. Working on Sunday for the Christian or Working on Saturday for the Hebrew. Does Daylight saving time enter into the calculation too, Just remember who He is and who you are. Set some time aside to talk to Him even if it feels like you are talking to yourself. That is called faith.

There was a shop in Cornwall, decades ago, when it was still illegal, who asked their staff to pretend they were Jewish so they could open the shop on Sundays.
Unsurprisingly, the owner turned out to be a bit of a shit.

Absolutely. In fact, I believe that I've done worse. I have cursed the Holy Spirit. Several years ago there was a thing going around called the Blasphemy Challenge.
