Sigh-- I read a CEV, mostly because I don't have to sort through old english, but I do miss some of the poetry and handsome phrasings.

> The Old Testament Law had a large number of times which had to be observed. The Sabbath day is really the only one that has carried over into mainstream culture, but that rule is no longer in effect. Some people observe it anyway, but not even in the manner the Bible requires.

> Personally, I think it's a good idea to set aside a certain regular time for worship, reflection, and prayer, just because it seems to work well with human nature to ensure that these things get done. But there's no longer any biblical doctrine in effect now that *requires* such an observation, let alone specifies what it should be.

Hmmm... never thought of it that way. You do putline your thoughts well. Thank you.
