The Sunday Catechism Q.61 – What is Forbidden in the 4th Commandment?
Interesting at many levels!!!! You have a 7 day bus pass. Is a bus spin a sin? Is a Sunday paper OK, or better avoided? If low on milk and bread, then should it be ‘black tea and porridge time’? If getting a paper is it bad to lift a six pack of beer on a Sunday? Does the time of day matter? Can one ease up in the evening? What if there is a complex work meeting Mon AM and notes to read up? Also, if in company restrictions are OK to some degree, but single people may value a Sunday cafe or restaurant visit. Could a visit to Burger King lead to greater flames than those on the beef burger?!? And then there’s retirement, when a midweek dinner and prayer meeting (and/or communion service) can be more attractive than a Sunday service. Interesting questions! And of course-can online be a substitute for Sunday services. Lots of old folk go down that direction. Then there’s ‘AI’ etc…Is is less sinful (or non-sinful) to fill up with petrol on the Sabbath at an un-manned station with automatic payment used? Complicated but maybe worth another look?
