on December 16 2014 the Los Angeles Times ran a story entitled Hungarian
lawmakers ban Sunday shopping to boost family togetherness this news Sunday law
is scheduled to go into effect March 15 2015 according to the LA Times
Hungary's Sunday legislation is the political brainchild of the of Hungary's
Christian Democratic People's Party which is largely a Roman Catholic
political group this recent law parallels other Sunday laws enacted in
Germany and Austria all of these developments bring up the looming
question which is this is Sunday rest legislation proper and any time
especially in the sight of God first of all Sunday laws have been
enforced to various degrees of intensities for over 1500 years so they
are not new the first Sunday law was passed by the Emperor Constantine in
Rome in the year 321 AD Sunday has been enforced throughout European history in
British history and of course in the early Puritan colonies of colonial
America I have a book in my hand called Dateline Sunday USA written by an
attorney Warren John's the subtitle says this is the story of three and a half
centuries of Sunday law battles in America this book documents the court
cases and the struggles as to whether Sunday legislation is constitutional or
not on the back cover of this book it says that Sunday laws once consigned to
the whipping post a Connecticut man for scandalously kissing his wife on Sunday
and it also later nearly caused the arrest of George Washington for riding
his horse on that day once again the question comes up to us all is
Sunday legislation proper in the first place especially in the sight of God a
straight answer to that question is no definitely not for the following three
reasons number one God never uses force to compel anyone to Oh
to obey Him the last chapter of the Bible which is
the book of Revelation chapter 22 says in verse 17 whoever wills let him come
and take the water of life freely god never twists people's arms to
worship him or serve him he always gives human beings a choice to love him and
obey Him or not the second reason is that Sonny laws have absolutely no
support in either the old or the New Testaments the third reason is that
sunday is really not the biblical day of rest in the first place
although sunday is often called the Christian Sabbath if you look closely at
the Ten Commandments in Exodus chapter 20 in verse 10 the Bible says that the
seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God it's the seventh day that is
God's holy day any good Jew knows that the seventh day starts sundown Friday
night to sundown Saturday night if you check any dictionary or encyclopedia it
will tell you that Saturday is the seventh day Jesus Christ rose on Sunday
which the New Testament calls the first day of the week based on Scripture
Anna's and historical facts Jesus Christ died on Good Friday he quietly rested in
the tomb throughout the seventh day Sabbath and
on Sunday morning he rose from the dead but his resurrection did not make Sunday
into the Sabbath Jesus did not authorize such a change in fact he never said even
one word about it throughout his entire ministry such a concept is solely a
tradition of men a tradition being especially promoted by the Roman
Catholic Church which is largely behind the Sunday law in Hungary if nations
churches individuals are ever to fully please God they should follow his
inspired Word not the theories and the traditions of men concerning the
Pharisees Jesus Christ said in Matthew 15 verse 9 he said in vain do they
worship Me teaching for doctrines the commandments of men and then in John 14
verse 15 Jesus Christ told His disciples not long before he died he said if you
love me keep my Commandments and His commandments are the
commandments that are written in the Bible they are not the traditions of men
if Jesus said if you love me keep my Commandments if those are his own words
which they are those words are good enough for me I hope for you too for
