Limiting the Lord's Day to one day a week has resulted in an epidemic of misunderstanding of what God requires of us. I would venture to say that the majority of people would understand Sunday as the one day of the week that we are required to focus on God and worship Him, and that on the rest of the days of the week that's not as important. How backwards that is! And it's all the result of legalistic Sabbatarianism that has drilled into people's heads the idea that Sunday is more special that other days, so God really wants us to worship Him on that day, as opposed to the other days of the week -- even though there's not one passage that informs us that this is our responsibility under the New Covenant!

Christ has accomplished it all. We have no need to work for our salvation. We can rest in His work on our behalf. That's what the Sabbath is all about. It was looking forward to Christ. Christ is our Sabbath Rest. We have no further need to worry about following legalistic rules about refraining from all work on Saturdays or Sundays -- especially because there's not one passage in the New Testament that can be found to say that the Sabbath was switched to Sunday.

This whole battle over trading on Sunday is quite fruitless, because if people would just lay aside their traditions and hold to Scripture alone, they would see that God has already given them rest and that the Sabbath is a part of the Old Covenant that was accomplished and fulfilled by Christ.

I didn't want to imply that I'm fine with the state of public education or the indoctrination going on in schools today. I was homeschooled and plan to homeschool any children the Lord gives me. But my point was that I do believe it is good and even necessary for all children to be taught those Islamic vocabulary words. I was taught them under the homeschool curriculum from Bob Jones University, and I'm glad I was. It's the Americans who don't know the meanings behind those words who are in trouble. And I don't see anyone calling out BJU and other Christian universities for teaching their students about one of the world's major religions.
