Is it a sin to mow your lawn on Sunday afternoon?

Yes, it’s fine if you don’t wear Bermuda shorts or Daisy Duke’s Seriously I suppose if we were under the law we could do cut it on Sunday but not Saturday. But least you offend someone just don’t cut it

  1. If one believes the ten commandments are all binding on Gentiles the same as they are on the Jews under the law, then mowing the lawn could be a way of obeying the commandments:’Six days shalt thou labor’….What we call ‘Sunday’ is the first day of the week, not the seventh________________

  2. I don’t mow grass on Sundays because I know my neighbors would take offense and view it as disrespectful to God. But I don’t believe there is any biblical support for Sabbath-observance binding upon New Testament Christians. No one really keeps the Sabbath as defined in the Bible anyway. Folks didn’t go to church on the Sabbath day in the OT. The same ones who would cry foul over mowing a lawn on Sunday would think nothing of having their wives slave over a hot stove cooking their meal and cleaning up after them.Not to mention, even in my old age, I’d be afraid my dad would ride by and catch me

  3. My maternal grandfather was a drunk. We were with him in N. Fl on Sunday at a place you could see fish in the water. We asked if we could fish. He said; no boys it is Sunday. I suppose He thought it was a sin________________Recorded Sermons @ http://www.pastorwiley.com

  4. The Old Testament says the sabbath is a time for ‘holy convocation.’Leviticus 23:3Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath of the LORD in all your dwellings________________

  5. It is only a sin for the preacher, if he gets caught.!!!!But no, I see no see no sin there.! Most non-Christians think the idea is good, but would draw a line in a subject. But the no, of the mower would distract folks from their rest time.It is not a great idea to for a gudance, but firework________________Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/

  6. If this is a debate. Teaching is sorely needed. That was a cheap shot Brad. Much beneath you. I have been in many SS classes where the discussions run amuck (Even happens quite often here!), and in many ways folk were taught! Probably in this case maybe some eyes were opened. ________________Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/

I have been in many SS classes where the discussions run amuck (Even happens quite often here!), and in many ways folk were taught! Probably in this case maybe some eyes were opened. There was nothing cheap about it.These folks don’t understand:a. The Sabbath.b. That we are not under law.c. How Jesus fulfilled the law.These are pretty basic concepts. I use opportunities like this as teaching points with my children and people in a church setting. If we don’t use situations like this as indicators of areas where teaching is needed, we will still be debating this issues 2,000 after the cross. 15 years after the cross, the apostles were still debating whether Gentiles had to be circumcised to be saved…it wasn’t a cheap shot to see that Paul had work to do teaching them about the new covenant. You over-reacted to my statement________________I’m not saved because I’m good. I’m saved because He’s good!My website: http://www.bradfreeman.comMy blog: bradcfreeman.tumblr.com/

  10. Whenever it needs it,irregardless of the day of the week. I would ask a follow up question to your study group: suppose it had rained for several days in a row and the forecasts were calling for one clear day,which just happened to be Sunday. It’s supposed to start raining again Sunday afternoon so your one window to mow is Sunday morning. Do you miss church to mow? If you’re the pastor,of course you can’t, but would you excuse your congregants from church________________“Hell will be filled with people that didn’t cuss, didn’t drink, and may even have been baptized. Why? Because none of those things makes someone a Christian.”

You over-reacted to my statement. You see Brad, I assumed since the discussion came up that teaching did occur. You seemed to assume that there was none and that the parishioners were still ignorant of Sabbath and Sunday.I thought DaSheik posted to see the reaction on the forum. From the pew I enjoy that type of discussion to try to separate the Law from Grace. I considered the place (SS) of the discussion and thought ‘What a great discussion point.’ But I am a small thinker. ________________Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/
