I never said Paul was against Christ, my point is he was just
a man like any other..... Able to make mistakes, thats all.....

But weren't not talking about getting saved by works, or at least I'm not. I'm talking about talking one day a week and resting. That's all. God has accommodated our work to allow a rest day, and has blessed us for taking it. Why wouldn't that be okay?
We are both saved by faith alone. His brothers, who are not Christians, still knock themselves out at their farms seven days a week, and are no better off than we are for having our rest.
We aren't religious about it, we just take it easy on sunday, give our bodies and minds a break. We don't think that we are super-christians for resting, we don't compare ourselves to anyone who doesn't, all I know is, we are better able to face the hard work of the rest of the week and God has not allowed our income to be at a loss though we only work six days. We kind of think of it as a witness to his brothers that God blesses us though we don't work as much as they do!
This may be slightly off topic, but is living the Christian life meant
to be so complicated?
Making sure we do this and don't do that?
I know there are things we are to do and things we are not to
do, but did the Lord mean for it to be this way?
Is it possible just to simply surrender our lives to Jesus and let
the Holy Spirit guide our way and do our best in His strength and
power to walk in obedience?
Keeping the Sabbath is not wrong, nor is not keeping it.
I believe everyday should be lived unto the Lord and the
important thing is entering into His rest.
That wasn't my point. My point was did Jesus mean for everything to be difficult.What way? Is it hard facing truth?
I was not saying anything about living "loosely".
Jesus said His yoke was easy and His burden light. But people
are trying to bring others into bondage.
