It does not depend on your view of the Lordīs Day your view is already regulated you are not allowed to have your own view. It is no more optional than adultery and could you please tell me when I have the right to commit adultery? The right to commit adultery is certainly a ludicrous position and untenable so why such a difficulty with the rest of the 10 commandments? We have so convoluted our view of subscription that we can just re-interpret what the Confession says and means and the sad fact is that there is no logical reason to resist the same thing being done to the scriptures themselves. It is not a hard issue except in as much as we do not want to submit to the biblical injunction and examples.

The sermon Sunday morning was on Matt 22:34-40. Jesus' response not only turned aside the attack of the Pharisees, but also emphasized the unity of the moral law.
BTW: Didn't the continental view approve of private recreation, but would still disapprove of organize or formal recreation. For example an informal pick-up game of basketball among neighbors vs league play.
