It has puzzled me, particularly in recent months, as to why breaching of the 4th commandment seems to be taken far more lightly in many churches and among Christians than the breaking of other commandments.
It does seem, on a superficial level, far more acceptable to fellowship as Christians with a Sabbath-breaker than an adulterer for instance, but is this really right?
People might say that it is far less clear from Scripture that we are to observe the Sabbath than that we ought not to commit adultery, but the moral law is all of one, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.
I understand that the practical implications would be difficult if one were to be as stringent in this as mentioned, but it's just something that's been on my mind...
Thoughts?
