SUNDAY IS NOT THE SABBATH
Today is Sunday, and so far I have been out shopping (Dollar General), and booked a kayak rental online (Wisner Rents Canoes). That means I’m engaging in commerce… “Buying and selling” on Sunday, which is the first first day of the week. I’m going on a kayaking trip down the river today as well. I’m glad these places are all open today, because many are not.
When places like Chik-Fil-A take a “Christian stand” and close on Sundays, they are propagating a false narrative and the false doctrines of churchianity. Sunday was venerated by the Catholic Church. Sunday is not the sabbath. Sunday is not the day any “Christian” business should close for. Saturday is.
By remaining open on the true Shabbat, companies like Chik-Fil-A blaspheme the sabbath, by requiring its employees to work on the ACTUAL Shabbat. They are creating an environment that causes its employees to forsake His day. It’s total hypocrisy. And Christians LOVE to support businesses that claim to be “Christian” like Chik-Fil-A, and in reality they should be boycotting it.
Yesterday was the Sabbath. None of the things I am doing today would be OK to have done yesterday. You should likewise not be working on the Sabbath, and companies like Chik-Fil-A that require employees to work on Saturday are guilty of profaning the Day that He calls holy. They are 💯 guilty as charged. Closing on Sunday is venerating the Catholic day of worship and disregarding His Sabbath, Saturday.
Chick-Fil-A takes on a Christian identity, yet the reality is that it is a false identity. It only propagates the false doctrines propogated by churchianity and the Harlot Babylonian system of worship that permeates our culture today. 🤦♂️ 😩
And for the Christians who think this post is “petty,” and that you can choose whichever day of the week you want to as the Sabbath… I hate to inform you, but your “indoctrination is showing.” You’ve been drinking the wine from thr Harlots cup for so long, you think that evil is good, and good is evil.
Shalom

My journey to truly understand the Sabbath has been eye-opening, and honestly, a bit challenging at times. Like many, I grew up with the understanding that Sunday was the day of rest and worship. It was just what everyone did, and honestly, it felt normal. But as I dove deeper into the Scriptures, asking myself, 'Is Sunday truly the Sabbath?' I began to uncover some fascinating truths that reshaped my entire perspective. It really began with simple questions: Where in the Bible does it command us to observe Sunday? And if not, why do so many Christians keep Sunday as the holy day? What I discovered was that the biblical command for the Sabbath points consistently to Saturday, the seventh day of the week. This wasn't just a minor detail; it felt like a foundational truth I had missed. For me, realizing that Sunday is not the Sabbath meant re-evaluating many of my long-held beliefs. It wasn't about condemning others, but about seeking a deeper, more accurate alignment with what I believe God's word teaches. The concept of the holy Sabbath became so much richer. It's not just a day off; it's a sacred time set apart for rest, reflection, and connection with the Divine. Practically, this has meant shifting how I approach my weekends. Instead of seeing Saturday as just another day for errands or chores, I now strive to make it a genuine day of rest and spiritual rejuvenation. It's about stepping away from the usual hustle and bustle, focusing on family, nature, and quiet contemplation. This doesn't mean I can't do anything, but it means prioritizing peace over productivity, and spiritual nourishment over commercial activities. I’ve found immense peace in this recalibration. This also led me to reflect on how society often operates. When I see businesses like a Chick-fil-A restaurant proudly closing on Sundays, I appreciate their commitment to a day of rest, but it also makes me ponder the bigger picture. If we truly want to honor the biblical Sabbath, wouldn't that commitment extend to Saturday? It’s a complex issue, and I understand businesses have many factors to consider, but from a personal faith perspective, it highlights the disconnect. Embracing the understanding that the Sabbath is Saturday has transformed my spiritual rhythm. It's a continuous learning process, and I'm still figuring out the best ways to honor this day fully in a modern world. But the intention is clear: to follow what I believe are God's instructions for a blessed day of rest. This journey isn't always easy, and it often goes against the grain of popular culture and tradition, but the spiritual rewards of seeking and living by these truths are immeasurable. It's about striving for a deeper, more authentic faith walk, one day of rest at a time.
