this time Sunday had not been OBJ
served. Then it goes right on and
calls it the seventh day. It also
speaks of Friday, Saturday, and
Sunday. Now, at that time the
days were not named, but were
called by numbers. That sounds
as if something is wrong some-
where.
Christ gave explicit directions
concerning the material things

per (and not once did he ever use
the word sacrament) He taught
that Love is the fulfilling of the
law" If we truly love Christ we
will try to do His commandments,
but if we do them with am eye to
a blessing, we are sure to miss the
blessing, for then we are doing il
for self. Material blessings are
promised in the old Bible, spirit
ual blessings in the new, but we
would miss either if done for self
The Bible says. Whatsoever ye
do, do all to the glory of God"
1t is entirely foreign to the
nature of Christ to say he would
send a curse on a person because
he did not do certain things. Yol
remember when Peter cut off thu
ear of the servant of the high
priest Christ reproved him and
cured the man.
