what gets me that if they did legally declare sunday a fossil free sabbath, the same ones who are wanting it would more than likely then want an exemption so they could go to church!

I am sorry, I am not Jewish
I live under Christs covenant
Thanks anyway
Christ both kept the Sabbath, and taught the proper method in keeping the Sabbath. Paul, and Apostle of Jesus, both kept the Sabbath, and taught the gentiles on the Sabbath.
Christians have to keep God's 7th Day Sabbath, not any day they please, or no day at all.
Jesus was a Jew, hmmm
Please also note Jesus broke the Sabbath according to tradition
John 5:18: “Therefore the Jews sought all the more to kill Him, because He not only broke the Sabbath, but also said that God was His Father, making Himself equal with God.”
But anyway, all I have is your say so and thats not good enough for me, care to back it up with scripture
As for Paul teaching on the Sabbath, did he not teach on other days as well...
I cant earn my salvation by keeping the sabbath, that would be stupid of me to think that
I am guessing you are a 7th day adventist or a UCG member, you are welcome to rely on your own actions to save yourself, as for me, no thanks, my trust is in Christ not religion

jesus didn't honor the sabbath on sunday though, did he? the jews were pretty good at writing down the holy scriptures from age to age without errors... I imagine that they were just as maticulous when it came to keeping track of their sabbaths and holy days. what day do the jews consider to be the sabbath? how about the muslims?
for in six days God created the heavens and the earth and on the seventh, he rested...so we, in like manner should rest on the seventh day also.. do christian worship the same god as the jews and muslims, or is it a different god, who happened to have been involved in creation also, who rested on the first day of creation instead of the seventh?
doing a little research into why the christians now call sunday their sabbeth, I've run across several explanations. one was that some pope just decided to change it, as a statement to his power, basically he changed it just to prove that he could. another one, a little more believable was that before that pope changed it, many of the christians had already changed their day of worship to sunday... to separate themselves from the jews since the romans were persecuting the jews quite badly..
I don't see either of these two reason as really that virtuous. so I see that change as being an error that was made over a century ago.
in reality there are not that many christians honoring the sabbath! and you would think that if this was on christ's top ten list of to dos.... he would have let them know long before now that they have the wrong day....the day of sun worshipping pagans!!!
In an impassioned address Friday, Pope Francis denied the existence of Islamic terrorism, while simultaneously asserting that “the ecological crisis is real.”

I've watched a few videos on the subject, one even claimed that the seventh day adventist changed over to sunday. so I went to the local websites for those churches and they seem to have a nice statement still denouncing sunday as being the sabbath, which makes me wonder just how much else is really true in some of those videos.
they are one of the few churches in the area that actually still hold prayer meetings in their church though. I considered going back to church a few times through the years but not being able to find one that actually seemed to value prayer as worthy for it's own service was kind of a drawback to me. too bad all their churches seem to be over on the other side of the city and I just can't drive that far anymore.
the idea that they'd designate a day as a national sabbath, day or rest, or whatever, sounds rather nutty to me. using global climate change as a justification sounds even nuttier. I really think that changing the workweek to 10 four hour shifts would be more effective really. then you have the whole separaton of church and state to contend with and of the three abrahamic religions, christianity seems to be the only one that sees sunday as the sabbath and then there's some christians that deny that. it seems that the christians would be out voted really. but, we seem to have ventured into the twilight zone of late so nothing would surprise me really.

On Monday, leading biologists, ecologists, and economists are gathering at the Vatican for a series of discussions about humanity’s relationship to the natural world. Pope Francis has made environmental stewardship a key issue for the Catholic church, and this latest summit will attempt to identify social and economic changes that need to take place in order to prevent the planet’s ecology from falling too far into disrepair, and in doing so disrupting human progress.

Only one per cent of the rich owns 50% of the wealth in the world: "From here derives environmental injustice and ecological injustice. Greenhouse gases that increase global warming are emitted by rich countries. The United States, with a population of about 6% of the world, produce 40% of greenhouse gases. Who is dying? The poor.

She also explored Pope Francis' notion of inner ecological conversion, linking our spirituality with the life of the Trinity pervading all of creation, a spirituality that takes time for Sabbath rest and for gratitude as well as action. She will be a speaker at the National Justice and Peace Network conference 21-23 July, which will focus on 'A Sabbath for the Earth and the Poor'.

The Commission of the Bishops’ Conferences of the European Community has joined with other groups in calling for Sunday to be recognized as a common day of rest...
www.comece.eu...
The European Sunday Alliance aims to promote and re-integrate the Sunday as the common weekly day of rest in the EU working-time directive. The network of the Sunday Alliance believes that, in particular in times of digitalisation, all citizens of the European Union are entitled to benefit from decent working hours and that only essential services should operate on a Sunday.

I'm a little lost here. Are you tying Climate Change belief to the Christian bogeyman NWO?
