If today is your Sabbath, do you feel being on the computer goes against your day of rest?

Dear child, I feel I must answer you...you keep on asking ?about the Sabbath. In the new testament Jesus said old things are put away...the teachings of the sabbath is one of them, this was before the death of Christ.\nAlong with keeping the sabbath there were many other  requirements, like sacrificing, which we no longer have to do because Jesus did it for us. He was the ultimate sacrifice. I hope this helps you and GOD BLESS

Not me. I've been at work all day and I'm TIRED.\n\nSo I am sitting all snuggled into a zillions soft pillows and blankets~~it's cold here in Maine--with my wireless keyboard and answering silly questions.\n\nIt makes me laugh. Some of you guys are hilarious!

I feel the same way, feeling it hard to move my eyes from the screen. What I do is to set an alarm clock beside my computer, reminding me of having a rest every half an hour or so.\n\nTo me studying and going to Yahoo Answers are not enemies to each other. I can use Yahoo Answers as a kind of reward for studying for a period of time.\n\nGood luck to your exam!

when you know you will come back to your computer in the same day then you can put it in stand by. The less you keep turning on and off your computer the better. It puts a strain on your hard drive if you do that a lot of times a day. So stand by is the best you can go.

don't know about that, but I know it can affect your mood and how well you react the next day.  You actually need proper amount of rest.

The Sabbath is from Friday Evening to Saturday Evening; Jews still keep it as some christians. No work is to be done this day.\nJesus himself told us to keep this day (John 4:22-24).\n"Ye worship ye know not what; we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews." John 4:22\nNotice Jesus was saying that we should worship Saturday like the Jews.\n\nLook Sabbath up in Encyclopaedia Americana, Vol.24, pp.68-69.\nThe Calendar also tells us the 7th day is Saturday.\n\nIf you look up Genesis 1:8; it tells us that the evening and morning were the second day. Lev.23:32 says from evening to evening to celebrate the Sabbath.\n\nGENESIS 2:2-3 "AND ON THE SEVENTH DAY GOD ENDED HIS WORK WHICH HE HAD MADE; AND HE RESTED ON THE SEVENTH DAY FROM ALL HIS WORK WHICH HE HAD MADE. AND GOD BLESSED THE THE SEVENTH DAY, AND SANCTIFIED IT: BECAUSE THAT IN IT HE HAD RESTED FROM ALL HIS WORK WHICH GOD CREATED AND MADE." {sanctify = to set apart; make holy}\n\nEXODUS 20:8-11 "REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY, TO KEEP IT HOLY. SIX DAYS SHALT THOU LABOUR, AND DO ALL THY WORK: BUT THE SEVENTH DAY IS THE SABBATH OF THE LORD THY GOD: IN IT THOU SHALT NOT DO ANY WORK, THOU, NOR THY SON, NOR THY DAUGHTER, THY MANSERVANT, NOR THY MAIDSERVANT, NOR THY CATTLE, NOR THY STRANGER THAT IS WITHIN THY GATES: FOR IN SIX DAYS THE LORD MADE HEAVEN AND EARTH, THE SEA, AND ALL THAT IN THEM IS, AND RESTED THE SEVENTH DAY: WHEREFORE THE LORD BLESSED THE SABBATH DAY, AND HALLOWED IT." {the 4th Commandment}\n\nREV.14:7 "SAYING WITH A LOUD VOICE, FEAR GOD, AND GIVE GLORY TO HIM; FOR THE HOUR OF HIS JUDGEMENT IS COME; AND WORSHIP HIM THAT MADE HEAVEN, AND EARTH, AND THE SEA, AND THE FOUNTAINS OF WATER."{fear God means reverence him; also this text points back to the 4th Commandment}\n\nLEV.23:3 "SIX DAYS SHALL WORK BE DONE: BUT THE SEVENTH DAY IS THE SABBATH OF REST, AN HOLY CONVOCATION; YE SHALL DO NO WORK THERIN: IT IS THE SABBATH OF THE LORD IN ALL YOUR DWELLINGS."\n\nDEUT.5:12-14 "KEEP THE SABBATH DAY TO SANCTIFY IT, AS THE LORD THY GOD HATH COMMANDED THEE. SIX DAYS SHALT THOU LABOUR, AND DO ALL THY WORK: BUT THE SEVENTH DAY IS THE SABBATH OF THE LORD THY GOD: IN IT THOU SHALT NOT DO ANY WORK, THOU, NOR THY SON, NOR THY DAUGHTER, THY MANSERVANT, NOR THY MAIDSERVANT, NOR THINE OX, NOR THINE ***, NOR ANY OF THINE CATTLE, NOR THY STRANGER THAT IS WITHIN THY GATES: THAT THY MANSERVANT AND THY MAIDSERVANT MAY REST AS WELL AS THOU."\n\n{Jesus's Example= "For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:..-1PETER 2:21}\nLUKE 4:16 "AND HE CAME TO NAZARETH, WHERE HE HAD BEEN BROUGHT UP: AND, AS HIS CUSTOM WAS, HE WENT INTO THE SYNAGOGUE ON THE SABBATH DAY, AND STOOD UP TO READ."\n\nMARK 2:23-28 "AND IT CAME TO PASS, THAT HE WENT THROUGH THE CORN FIELDS ON THE SABBATH DAY; AND HIS DISCIPLES BEGAN, AS THEY WENT, TO PLUCK THE EARS OF CORN. AND THE PHARISEES SAID UNTO HIM, BEHOLD, WHY DO THEY ON THE SABBATH DAY THAT WHICH IS NOT LAWFUL? AND HE SAID UNTO THEM, HAVE YE NEVER READ WHAT DAVID DID, WHEN HE HAD NEED, AND WAS AN HUNGRED, HE, AND THEY THAT WERE WITH HIM? HOW HE WENT INTO THE HOUSE OF GOD IN THE DAYS OF ABIATHAR THE HIGH PRIEST, AND DID EAT THE SHEW BREAD, WHICH IS NOT LAWFUL TO EAT BUT FOR THE PRIESTS, AND GAVE ALSO TO THEM WHICH WERE WITH HIM? AND HE SAID UNTO THEM, THE SABBATH WAS MADE FOR MAN, AND NOT MAN FOR THE SABBATH: THEREFORE THE SON OF MAN IS LORD ALSO OF THE SABBATH." {The Pharisees thought his disciples were breaking the Sabbath by plucking and eating corn; but Jesus told them it wasn't work. Jesus healed on the sabbath as helped people. On the Sabbath day you can even warm meals as boil water for oatmeal on the Sabbath. The work that you cannot do is cooking meals because it takes an hour or hours to cook or by staying in the fields to do hard labor or cleaning, shopping in the store, eating at restaura

No. Take the day off and rest so you can recuperate.

I used to feel the way you do. But I found a church that I agree with totally and that keeps my interest - in other words, keeps me awake. So, now I go to church in the morning (we don't have an evening service except for the youth), then I go to lunch with a friend from church. I spend the afternoon reading, watching TV and just relaxing. Tomorrow, however, I'll be watching The National Geographic Channel special on the gospel of Judas - with an open mind, because I want to know exactly what it's all about before I decide.

I know exactly how you feel. Here I am up at 2.24 a.m. and I have to be up by 6.45 a.m. I am going to try a hot relaxing short bath and a warm glass of milk with a little low fat chocolate. I think we should both log off our computer for a start if either one of us is going to go to sleep.  Ha! Ha! Hope it work for you, try to close your eyes and think of pleasant thoughts.

Yes. But the real question is what are you doing with your seven days a week, starting today. Remember the Lord (God) has given you this day. So live it.

Yes I know that and agree. There has always been (since I've been a christian) a strange feeling for me at Christmas time. I felt trapped, enslaved, depressed, oppressed and angry during the holidays. Something just never sat well with me. I studied and found out it is all pagan and vain. God never says to follow any of these so called "christian" holidays. He did however mention the Holy Days in His Torah. I am not Jewish but I am being prompted by the Lord to study the feast days of the Lord and the Holy days and the Sabbaths. They weren't  meant just for the Jews but for all who were born again as well. They bring peace and understanding of the Messiah.

Well for the readers, The Christians gathered on the first day of the week, to celebrate the ressurection. This is why most Christians go to Church on Sunday. \n\nHowever, Since Christians rest in Jesus, everyday is a Sabbath day!!!!

well its 1 o'clock in the afternoon here and my partner has no probs with me being online as im on maternity leave from work.\n\nI dont go on late during the night much anymore because im too tired because of my pregnancy.  But sometimes i used to stay up late to update my websites and group.  My partner didnt mind it sometimes but at one point i did it for a week straight to catch up with some of my deadlines.  He absolutely hated it.  It wasnt because he was wondering what i was doing tho, it was because all he could hear was my typing lol.\n\nI wont go back to doing the net much during the night after i have bub.  I'll just stick to the afternoon's, that way i dont keep my partner awake when he goes to bed!
