The VRCC Sabbath

[The emperor has no clothes]

I wonder if it is possible to institute a voluntary moratorium on any hateful, devisive, political posts on Sundays ? Seems like one day without would do us good. I put forth the motion that Sunday's are dedicated to talk of riding, motorcycles, rainbows, and unicorns.

[Hook#3287]

I'll second the motion except the part about rainbows and unicorns

I just threw that in for any of our unicorn lovers. 

[Hook#3287]

Do you actually know any?

Unicorn lovers, not unicorns.

Other than my 5 year old granddaughter, no.

Maybe while we are at it we can install a day of hush for those inclined to whine.

[The emperor has no clothes]

I guess that's one vote against the Sabbath 

[Beardo]

To make it easier, how about just days that end in y?

The Sabbath is on Saturday.

Really ? I guess that shows what a savage I am. I thought it was Sunday.

Not a savage at all but a man cannot serve 2 masters.

Lets be clear Meat, although we are about as far apart on political issues as we can be, I'm sure you are a good guy. I hope one day to meet you in person and we could laugh at the back and forth we do here. Although I doubt we could agree on much except maybe a good steak and riding, but that could be enough.

I'm not sure what that means, and I'm ok with not knowing. I thought the Sabbath was on Sunday, I guess I was incorrect.

WIKI - Jewish Shabbat (Shabbath, Shabbes, Shobos, etc.) is a weekly day of rest, observed from sundown on Friday until the appearance of three stars in the sky on Saturday night.

I thought Christians also observed the Sabbath ? I had friends who's families were fairly devout, good Christians. I could have swore it was Sunday's that they stayed at home. But, that was almost 50 years ago.

It was and it is, but a few religions still use Saturday.

Sabbath starts at sundown Friday evenings

All days start in the evening

The bible says Sabbath is the 7th day of the week.  I believe the rub comes from different interpretations of the 7th day, either from calendar differences or whatever.  Jewish and Seventh Day Adventists observe Saturday as Sabbath (probably some others too).  But most religions observe Sunday as their Holy day or Sabbath.  Since we have members of all faiths, you would have to define Sabbath more narrowly.

[Robert]

This is one scripture and words that God gave to Moses that is in the Ten Commandments. Gen. 2:2; Ex. 20:11; 31:17 are a few more places in scripture.

Exo 20:8  “Remember to observe the Sabbath day by keeping it holy.
Exo 20:9  You have six days each week for your ordinary work,
Exo 20:10  but the seventh day is a Sabbath day of rest dedicated to the LORD your God. On that day no one in your household may do any work. This includes you, your sons and daughters, your male and female servants, your livestock, and any foreigners living among you.

This is why the Jews still observe Saturday as the Sabbath. Sunday being the first day of the week and Saturday being the last day. Our calendar and times are set on the Torah or Jewish laws. To make the US more of a secular nation they changed BC/AD to CE/BCE the BC/AD notes the time of our calendar in marked reference to Before Christ then the year of our Lord now they changed it to common era and before common era. Its in our fabric of society that we are a Christian nation

God never changed this, and there is no specific command on this.

Man and some say the church decided on Sunday as the day of worship. The churches reasoning  was it was the day that Jesus rose from the dead and when He did we had a new and better covenant than the old covenant.

The idea is also given that we are under grace and not the law also. There actually is no scripture the says that we are supposed to change the day of worship in scripture.

Rom 14:5  In the same way, some think one day is more holy than another day, while others think every day is alike. You should each be fully convinced that whichever day you choose is acceptable.
Rom 14:6  Those who worship the Lord on a special day do it to honor him. Those who eat any kind of food do so to honor the Lord, since they give thanks to God before eating. And those who refuse to eat certain foods also want to please the Lord and give thanks to God.

We celebrate Easter Sunday and if you remember when Jesus was crucified and taken down off the cross on Friday since the Sabbath/Saturday was a special Sabbath and the priests did not want anyone on the cross. So they broke the legs of the two thieves but fulfilling scripture they did not break Jesus legs and instead pierced Him in the side and water flowed out, fulfilling scriptures in His death as well as life.

If you ever wanted to see the life and death of the Messiah who we call Jesus in the Old Testament  and a few new testament then here is some of the scripture references, not all of them

Isaiah 7:14
Hosea 11:1
Micah 5:2
Matthew 2:4–6
Genesis 3:15
Exodus 12:5
Hebrews 9:14
Psalm 8:5–6
Psalm 40:6–8
Psalm 40:9
Isaiah 6:9–10
Isaiah 8:14
Isaiah 9:1–2
Isaiah 11:10
Isaiah 40:3–4
Isaiah 42:1–4
Isaiah 61:1
Daniel 7:13–14
Daniel 9:24
Zechariah 9:9
Zechariah 11:12–13
Malachi 4:5–6
Exodus 12:21–27
Exodus 12:46
"Now it was the day of Preparation, and the next day was to be a special Sabbath. Because the Jewish leaders did not want the bodies left on the crosses during the Sabbath, they asked Pilate to have the legs broken and the bodies taken down. The soldiers therefore came and broke the legs of the first man who had been crucified with Jesus, and then those of the other. But when they came to Jesus and found that he was already dead, they did not break his legs. Instead, one of the soldiers pierced Jesus’ side with a spear, bringing a sudden flow of blood and water. The man who saw it has given testimony, and his testimony is true. He knows that he tells the truth, and he testifies so that you also may believe. These things happened so that the scripture would be fulfilled: 'Not one of his bones will be broken'" (John 19:31–36)
Leviticus 17:11
Numbers 21:9
Job 19:23–27
Psalm 22:1
Psalm 22:16
Psalm 31:5
Psalm 38:12–13
Psalm 68:18
Psalm 118:17–18
Isaiah 25:7–8
Isaiah 50:3–6
Deuteronomy 18:15–16
Jeremiah 31:31


Jesus the Christ, is the proper way to say Jesus name and Jesus actually means God Saves and Christ means the Anointed one. Even the name means Gods redemptive power and plan.

I'm more of a Black Sabbath guy myself, although I recognize and respect different strokes for different folks...

Understood   (I think) Some people practice the Sabbath on Saturday and some do on Sunday ? I amend my motion to more accurately describe the desired effect. I will name this proposed legislation MH 104. Here to for on Sunday's the membership of the VRCC (regardless of up to date dues) shall voluntarily refrain from the posting of devisive, angry, condescending posts. With the understanding of the Jewish tradition that a new day begins at sundown, pent up anger and vitriol may resume sundown Sunday. (Kind of like the movie High Noon, but we will refer to it as Bloody Sundown).
Everybody retreat to their political parties and prepare for a vote. I believe we will vote via one of those 1-900 numbers.

Um.  Meathead, I'm only posting because I just wanted to and did make a post about great customer service and saw yours.  I not only avoid "hateful, devisive, political posts" on Sunday but all 7 days of the week by normally not reading the General forum.  

[solo1]

From a practical view, when I was in the Army Medical Corps, we had Conscientious Objectors, in this case Seventh Day Adventists, who were given Saturday off. As a result, they missed all of the formal Saturday inspections and the BS associated with that.

On Sunday, they were 'on duty' and had 'guard duty' in the day room. That po'd the rest of us.

That was stateside duty, didn't apply in Korea.

This must be something new for you. I remember you being pretty hateful toward many Trump supporters in the past.

I don't know if it would work. Are you willing to take that chance?

This might be a tough rule to follow.  Sundays are when many are actually out riding their motorcycles (or unicorns?) and chasing rainbows (or unicorns?).  Those who are at home and on their computers on a Sunday are going to be in a grumpy mood because there's some reason they aren't doing something like that.  

Many Christians consider Sunday to be their "Sabbath", as they try to use it as God intended the Sabbath to be used, for rest and for worship.  Another common term for the Christian Sunday "Sabbath" is the Lord's Day, which I personally prefer.  We (the family I lead) try to sanctify Sunday several ways:  1. by abstaining from non-worshipful media before noon, 2. by attending our congregation's service of worship, 3. by spending recreational time together, occasionally missing church to do this, and 4. by refraining from non-essential work.

I fully realized at the time of my motion it would be a tall order. Maybe I should come up with a slogan. "A unicorn in every pot" ? (I think your Lord's Day sounds pretty good)
