God worked six days, and +rested on the seventh. The Israelites were called to do the same thing. And I hate to break this to anyone, but each Sunday is exactly 7 days from the last Monday. As for the Sabbath as 'The Seventh' day, this by Jewish custom. Now that we have Christians keeping the 7th day from Monday, we can argue about how 'well' the Sunday keepers keep their holiday. Now if they kept it as well as the Seventh Day Observers, there would be two days of inactivity of a secular nature. -- John Clark jclark@ucsd.edu
