How about this, she was arrested for silently praying outside a child murder factory. The gall of the government to try to temporarily change God's immutable laws. :Laugh:Laugh:Laugh

She committed a thought crime. Let's also recognize for a minute that police are increasingly not our friends and are more and more often being drones of the state enforcing its will upon all who dare think differently. This is especially true in the UK where most police appear to be...

I'd like to see a bigger focus on preserving the American family in the GOP's agenda. Expansion of the child tax credit, tax incentives so that one parent can stay home with the child, restructured single family home benefits, tax structure favoring main street over wall street and deregulation...

Considering that it's a classically reformed position, and the position that founded this country, that argument would be a hard row to hoe haha

No idea if they added the amendment or not. It's horrendous for the reporting limit to be $600 for this filing year. Legislators Try To Tackle 1099-K Issues In Omnibus Bill Amendments

I'm replying to a specific argument. The argument was made that it's OK to miss service if you're sacrificing it out of dedication to your spouse. Therefore, based on that argument, if I am dedicated to my spouse every week for a decade, and subsequently miss Church service for a decade, then...

We'll agree to disagree on your sabbath day. Back to the OP, regardless of if the Church worships on a Saturday or a Sunday, if a Church Member (Pastor's Wife Included) misses all the Worship services for their entire life because they're "working" then that is sin.

Wow, I guess I can avoid worship service for a decade if I'm doing it out of dedication for my spouse. Imagine that, having a Pastor whose wife hasn't been to Church in a decade. Yeeech, and Christians wonder why we're in the mess we're currently in haha. Pastor Candidate: "Hello, I'd like to...

Of course I don't rest on a Saturday. I'm not Jewish. Jews have a Sabbath on the 7th day of the week (Saturday) because they don't believe that Christ rose the following day (SUNDAY, 1st day of the week) so they continue to hold to the old sabbath. As a Christian I happen to believe that...

Only if you're a Premill. The Postmill Christian would say that our purpose is to over time work to create a world more like Christ's teachings, where the number of Saved is so overwhelming that all of the earth becomes in submission to Christ's teachings bringing in the Millennium reign of...

Baptists, Presbyterians, Mennonites, Amish and Catholics all have enough kids at far above the replacement level. The problem is the powers-that-be insist on importing additional immigrants into the U.S to out compete the natural-born Americans. This depresses wages, balkanizes the U.S and...

Hymn Name: Perfect Wisdom of Our God I typically don't have a problem with most of the Getty's music. They're one of the very few mostly solid modern Christian music writers. Here's a problematic verse though that my family did not sing in worship service: "Oh, grant me wisdom from above To...

Some other examples from Modern Day NC: -Hunting on public land is banned in NC on Sundays from morning until Noon. -Alcohol sales are only allowed at certain hours during the week, and on Sundays Blue laws in the United States - Wikipedia It's also blanket illegal in my county to sell alcohol...

I agree that society has changed since the Blue Laws, some Blue Laws are still in effect in my state of NC. With all due respect though, a changing society is not an excuse to miss worship service. In fact, if we look at the Old Testament the Sabbath Commandment is one of the most exhaustively...

There is an excellent quote from S. Truett Cathy (Founder of Chick-Fil-A) on this subject: "Our decision to close on Sunday was our way of honoring God and directing our attention to things more important than our business. If it took seven days to make a living with a restaurant, then we needed...

Some excellent material from the great theologian Johnathan Edwards on the importance of sabbath: The Perpetuity And Change Of The Sabbath -- Jonathan Edwards Some excerpts: "It is the mind and will of God that the first day of the week should be especially set apart among Christians for...

So, at what point in your theology does the scale tip from "attending enough" to "not attending enough" for a believer who is supposed to be growing in Church. Is once a month enough? How about once every 2 months? Once every 6 months? The purpose of Bible Studies and fellowships are meetings...

Of course I'm all for Church Discipline. The Bible tells us to actively practice it for sanctification and to restore brothers and sisters back into fellowship who have fallen into sin. What Christian wouldn't be for Church Discipline? I hope so. If I ever got to a place where I was skipping...

What would need to happen in this case is the Church would need to confront the Pastor's wife as per Galatians and Matthew and explain that neglecting the meeting of the saints for work is not acceptable and is sin. And yes, if there is a true budget shortfall that is not the result of going...

Since it's causing her to miss service, then yes it's a problem. I would even say it would call into question the Pastor's qualifications as per having a well managed household if his wife is out working on the Lord's Day, akin to if the Pastor's kid are misbehaved. IMO every effort should be...
