They are really far from any Christianty aren't they? Don't you think they could give it a rest for the weekend?

Again... "moral Republican" is an oxymoron... just ask Abramoff... \nBush is just looking for excuses to stir the pot in middle east so his oil stocks will go up... he's doing a very good job...

If they are both Biblical (not dogmatic and legalistic) Christians. I don't see why not.  Cultural differences can be a stumbling block no matter what.  Its up to them to decide whether its worth it.

It is part of their tradition.\n\nthere are many things in their traditions that are not biblical at all.

Nice question, mate. I guess if the muslims said it was part of their religious observance, they'd be allowed to continue. Somehow don't think it would work if the Christians tried the same trick, though.

these people were probably saved tremendously from their addictions or faults. they don't have room to compromise. our jobs as a Christian is to surround ourselves with other believers. It makes us stronger and harder to break. But there are other Christians who have the ability to communicate the GOod News about Jesus Christ in a way that doesn't shut nonbelievers out. Don't lose hope!

Because either A. they are not saved and are so lost or B. they are not from America..the one's who are seem to be hypocrites..i see your point here 100%

I can't really say. There are Christians living everywhere.  But don't be discouraged cause you will be home soon.

what? do u mean after they attend mass they go out and eat?\n\nwell, im a christian too....and i see no big deal on doing such things, after all, God said that Sunday is the day to rest and make yourself feel comfortable, and happy and whatsoever, and eating outside is a good way of making yourself contented..!

I think it's because (in part,anyway..Satan is another but that'd take longer than you and I have here! LOL) anything different is suspect.  Jesus instructed his followers to be "no part of this world" just as he was not (John 17:16)and that to be friends with the world was to have emnity with God (James 4:4) Because we try as best we can to follow in Jesus and his early disciples footsteps, we too try to be no part of this world.  We cannot literally be no part, or we wouldn't be alive, so we stay away from the things the world considers important : much of the entertainment, celebrating of pagan-originating holy days,etc. That makes us stand out like sore thumbs to begin with, but THEN we come to your door every Saturday morning, trying to share what we believe to be literal life-saving truths from the Bible!!! LOL!!\nPeople are always afraid of what they don't understand. We never expect EVERYONE to come to believe as we do, but those who are not afraid are those who have learned FROM US what we believe. They may not agree, but neither do they have misinformation about us, either!  Thank you for this opportunity this evening to share with you! It's been great!!!

The fact the christianity and other such religions have a particular point of origin proves that they aren't for real.\n\nWhy would god have made these people here and these people there, so the people there could tell the people here all about him?  Thats absurd.

WE WEREN'T THERE SO WE DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT DAY IS WORSHIP.  AFTER ALL THEY DECIDED TO LEAVE OUT ALL THOSE OTHER BOOKS FROM DISCIPLES THAT WERE THERE WHY COULDN'T THEY MAKE UP THEIR OWN DAY OF WORSHIP. AS LONG AS YOU BELIEVE AND WORSHIP.

Jesus told us no one will know the day or the hour. Only God knows. It is up to us to live each day as if the LORD is coming today. You're right, it's not too late for the nonbelievers to claim Jesus as their LORD and Savior. Let us pray for them to open their hearts to the LORD each and every day.

Personally I can't answer your question but they need the rest

Most likely NOT, as most people, I believe, Party on Friday or Saturday.  Just responding the question as it was posed.

Sundays would cause a riot. IF the church goers had to choose between god and state. Saturday would seem smart to me. Less disruption to the work schedule.

I don t think so .\nThey already had their day off last Monday and Tuesday !

If you are sincere member of the church you go to, you shouldn't take a vacation from it. If you just go to church because you don't have anything else to do, then you could take a vacation from it.
