Well this really makes you wonder how they can push this as there is no scriptural basis for them to refer to in encouraging Sunday worship..

"Pope Benedict XVI says your life depends upon worshiping on Sunday.

“Sine dominico non possumus!” “Without Sunday [worship] we cannot live!” Pope Benedict xvi declared during a mass on September 9 at St. Stephen’s Cathedral in Vienna.
Speaking on the final day of his three-day visit to Austria, the German pope voiced a strong call for Christians to revive Sunday keeping as an all-important religious practice.
“Give the soul its Sunday, give Sunday its soul,” he chanted before a rain-soaked crowd of 40,000.
Benedict said that Sunday, which he stated has its origin as “the day of the dawning of creation,” was “also the church’s weekly feast of creation.”
Warning against the evils of allowing Sunday to become just a part of the weekend, the pope said people needed to have a spiritual focus during the first day of the week, or else leisure time would just become wasted time.

Sunday worship, he warned, was not just a “precept” to be casually adhered to, but a “necessity” for all people......"

John Paul said the same. It's an alleged quote from some alleged martyrs.

According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martyrs_of_Abitina, "Sunday" isn't really in the quote. Think that's so?

I was told there is already a Sunday Law in Croatia and Fiji.  Can someone confirm this for me?

Time is nearing the end.   We must be about our fathers business.  We must do what God leads us to do.

None of us can take life for granted!  We are here on God's time clock.  I have a question I have asked God for over 15 years.  I never got an answer until later.  As time has passed, I began to realize God had answered my prayer.  I now believe I can answer the why.  Now my question is, "What is next, and when, Lord?"

2008 is almost history.  2009 should bring this to a head.  Things look bad for 3ABN. 

I pray for Jim Gilley.  What brought all this on?  Could it be he realized just how things will be run at 3ABN.  He felt sure he could bring 3ABN back to its former glory.  Now I await the DNA test being taken.  Could that be the straw that breaks the camels back?  Could it be the eBay information being revealed to Jim Gilley?

Why was Fjarli hit with a stroke right after the Walla Walla incident?  I hope and pray he will be healed to continue his work with schools and churches across the world!

Why was JD Quinn stricken with Sepsis?  I praise God he is still with us.

All of this just shows that we are on God's timetable, not ours.  I praise God for giving me life, renewed just today.  Tonight I will rest in His arms and I will be safe no matter what tomorrow brings!

Here, this link should work....

"Give the soul its Sunday, give Sunday its soul," he said, quoting a phrase coined by a German bishop in the 20th century."

If he was quoting it still has the same affect in his purpose in my estimation..........

Sure. But he should be called on the carpet if he is using bogus translations or texts to support his premise that we should violate the 4th commandment by keeping a different day than the one God said to keep. After all, no one but God is infallible.
