To say the opposite ("mankind was made for the Sabbath") is to say that we are confined by and dominated by the legal restrictiveness of the Sabbath. In others words, man was created AND THEN the Sabbath was given as a gift to man. It is NOT the case that the Sabbath was created and then man created to be subject to the Sabbath.The Very Rev.

I wasn't so sure I'd care for the AM and PM/ New and Old Testaments reading per day. Now that we are in THROUGH THE BIBLE IN A YEAR for a while I see the benefits -- among them looking forward to New Testament readings as a help through some very trying Old Testament books. Numbers here we come! Thank you Mark for being there.Kathy Vonanoreply@blogger.com
