Don't you see how sly the Papacy is in substituting Sunday for the Sabbath? SDAs have been predicting this event for over a hundred years now. And now we seeing before our very eyes how it is playing out!! In Genesis 2, God created the Sabbath not Sunday, yet the Pope uses Genesis 2 as his theological underpinnings for Sunday rest from secular labor and for free time spent with family! That was meant to take place on the 7th day Sabbath not on the 1st day, Sunday!
Ayyyyyyyy........mennnnnnn.Are you like the Pharisees and so hung up on legalisms that you forget the intent? Looks like it.
So what if the day of rest is celebrated on Saturday or moved to Sunday to honor the resurrection of Jesus? The intent is the same.
Perhaps by attending more Protestantant services?My question is how is the papacy going to be able to get anyone outside his church to listen... let alone obey his dictates? Can he make governments enforce his ruling in this matter?
Jesus never said being a Christian would be easy in this "world"So its happening. Then its gonna be legally enforced and folks will be persecuted for not obeying the law.

If the Pope gets powers of arrest, I hope his first act of enforcement is round up all the anti-Christmas brigade- just until after Christmas though. After that, furlough them into hard labor making chocolate eggs and whatnot.Bright Candle, the reason why the Pope's plan will work is because people don't see any importance of the keeping the 7th day Sabbath. Even if the Pope was to say that you will be thrown in prison if you don't rest on Sunday, this will still not be enough to raise some people's antennas.
Do you not see how the Pope was referring to the need from rest from work on the Sunday? The command to rest one day a week came from the Sabbath Commandment, there is no command to rest from work on Sunday in OT or the NT!No - in the second paragraph he is proclaiming Sunday as the Lord's day, as the day of Resurrection. In the first paragraph he is refer to the natural order of the world as coming from God...the liturgy of time. Somewhat related, but he's not proclaiming Sunday as the OT Sabbath.

Just to be clear, not a Sabbatarian. Don't want to worry about tripping an electronic eye, starting a fire, and violating the Law, let alone driving. Worship whenever, whereever you are.
first you use osteen, then glen beck, now the pope!
how about the bible?
Paul did not want the galatians, or any of his churches messin with sabbath.
Everyone knows that catholic doctrine, is not pauline, because of the works teaching, so paaaaleeeease, get a better source..or sources..
God bless, froganator.
True. Because sadly, God's Holy Law is laying in the streets bleeding theologically speaking.Bright Candle, the reason why the Pope's plan will work is because people don't see any importance of the keeping the 7th day Sabbath.

LOL
Whaddya know- the SDAs predicted something that actually came to pass!
Of course, predicting this was like predicting that the sun would rise in the East
There might be some professed Christians and even atheists that would protest a Sunday Law on the grounds of freedom from government interference in their lives, but their numbers would be overwhelmed by the ignorant masses who don't know their Bibles.Bright Candle, the reason why the Pope's plan will work is because people don't see any importance of the keeping the 7th day Sabbath.

You speak from ignorance and arrogance.Your eyes have been blinded by the rejection of the most clear Bible truths. If you reject God's Holy Law, what more can God do to reach you?
