If you define your Christian Liberty on Sunday as "doing whatever I want" - which directly contradicts the 4th Command - then how can you condemn someone else who violates a different command out of the pretext of "Christian Liberty"?
I believe that the book of James says somewhere that if you violate one of these commands it is as if you violated all of them.
I once heard a preacher say that he wishes his congregation was as excited about worshipping God as they are watching their favorite Football team score a touchdown.
It makes one wonder....

This has been my question also for those who take the 'Christian liberty' route. Some just outright argue that there are now only 9 commandments. I don't agree, but that seems to be a more 'consistent' argument.
