What a shock, I disagree with you guys

I really think we ought to look to Scripture for the answer to this question. And not just the Commandments. Jesus said that the Sabbath is for our benefit (Mk 2:27). I always sort of took that to mean, "Don't overwork yourself. Take a day off. Even God took a day off." So, relax, but at the same time, you really shouldn't inconvenience yourself.

In my opinion, watching a game is relaxing. So what's wrong with that? The Sabbath is for our benefit. We shouldn't break our backs over it! It seems that Andrew might just possibly agree with me on that one, and he can probably put it more eloquently.

Obviously, I'm not trying to give the final word here. If you guys have a different interpretation of Jesus' teaching, as I'm sure you do, please tell me!
