The Crime Against The Sabbath
Exodus 31:15… “For six days, work,
but the seventh day is a Sabbath of
rest, holy to the Lord. Whoever does
any work on the Sabbath day must
be put to death.”
What is work?
Scribes define work = Mishnah
and Talmud.
Pharisees commit to following
rules about work.
Some Examples:
Tying a knot
Walking
Carrying a burden
The Crime Of Healing
John 9:3
Luke 13:1-5
“Suffering is not an index of a
person’s sin. But having said that,
specific suffering may still come
from specific sins.” - Gary Burge
“Anyone who eats and drinks (Holy
Communion) without recognizing the
body of the Lord eats and drinks
judgment on himself. That is why

and a number of you have fallen
asleep.” - I Corinthians 11:30
