The following ain't my post, yet I wanted to share: The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil paralled with Sabbath resistance. This might explain more of the resistance to the Sabbath than people are comfortable admitting. ⸻ 1. The Core Issue Is the Same: Authority vs Autonomy The Tree was not forbidden because fruit is dangerous. The Sabbath is not commanded because days are magical. Both test who defines good. “God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it…” — Genesis 2:3 Notice: the Sabbath exists before sin, just like obedience itself. Which means resistance to it is not about legalism. It’s about relational posture. ⸻ 2. Sabbath, Like the Tree, Is Not About Information Most people who resist the Sabbath do not lack Bible knowledge. They know: • It’s in the Ten Commandments • Jesus kept it • The apostles observed it • It is grounded in creation, not Sinai So the resistance is not intellectual. It is experiential. Same as the Tree. The Sabbath forces a person to feel dependence, not merely agree with it. ⸻ 3. What the Sabbath Exposes The Sabbath does something no other commandment does: It requires you to stop producing and trust God anyway. “In it you shall do no work…” — Exodus 20:10 That’s not moral effort. That’s surrender of control. Which is why the resistance often sounds like: • “That feels restrictive” • “That sounds legalistic” • “That makes me uncomfortable” • “That can’t matter anymore” Those aren’t theological objections. They are autonomy reflexes. ⸻ 4. Same Pattern as the Tree Let’s line them up. The Tree: • God defines what is good • Humanity is asked to trust • The temptation is independence • The response is resistance framed as wisdom The Sabbath: • God defines sacred time • Humanity is asked to rest • The temptation is self-definition of worship • The response is resistance framed as liberty. Same sin, different fruit. ⸻ 5. Why Sabbath Resistance Feels So Emotional Very few people get angry about: • Not murdering

Hello everyone

Good evening friends. With so many things going on around us (good, bad, & indifferent) I know that our strongest weapon is the power of consistent prayers! No pressure here, but if you are interested in doing a prayer meet up a couple times weekly, please let me know and let’s get this prayer circle going. Thanks for your consideration and have a great evening! Judi 😊
