SUNDAY LAWS aka BLUE LAWS

The 'Christian' Church and Sunday Closure Laws

There are strong moves afoot in the United States of America and Europe from various professed Christian churches to have the government legislate Sunday into law.

The following are some sentiments given for doing so.

1. In many countries around the world, there are laws in place that require businesses to close on Sundays. These laws, often known as Sunday closure laws or Blue Laws in the USA have been a topic of debate for some time. However, for many Christian believers, these laws hold great importance and significance.

   
   

2. Sunday closure laws have their roots in Christian tradition, as Sunday is typically recognized as the day of worship and rest for Christians. This day is seen as a time to attend religious services, spend time with family, and reflect on one's faith. By having businesses closed on Sundays, it allows believers the opportunity to participate in these important activities without the distractions of work or shopping.

3. For Christian believers, having Sunday closure laws in place helps to uphold the sacredness of the 'Sabbath' day. It provides a designated time for spiritual rejuvenation and connection with one's faith community. By ensuring that businesses are closed on Sundays, it sends a message that this day is different from the rest of the week and is to be treated as such.

4. Additionally, Sunday closure laws can have a positive impact on families and communities. By having a common day off each week, it allows families to spend quality time together and participate in activities that strengthen their bond. It also provides an opportunity for communities to come together, whether through attending religious services, participating in social events, or simply enjoying a day of rest.

5. In a world that is increasingly fast-paced and focused on consumerism, Sunday closure laws serve as a reminder of the importance of setting aside time for spiritual reflection and rest. They help to preserve the values and traditions that are important to many Christian believers, and provide a designated day for worship and family time.

6. While Sunday closure laws may not be popular with everyone, for Christian believers, they hold great significance. By upholding these laws, it allows for a day of rest, worship, and reflection that is vital to one's spiritual well-being.

BAD IDEA WHICH NONETHELESS WILL COME TO PASS ACCORDING TO PROPHECY

Unfortunately Sunday laws while purporting to defend religious freedom in fact do the very opposite and actually signal the end of religious liberty. Papal Rome has called on numerous occasions for the legislation of Sunday.

Interesting the new Pope took the name Leo XIV but remember what Pope Leo the XIII his predecessor said about Sunday in his Encyclical Rerum Novarum:

40. The working man, too, has interests in which he should be protected by the State; and first of all, there are the interests of his soul. Life on earth, however good and desirable in itself, is not the final purpose for which man is created; it is only the way and the means to that attainment of truth and that love of goodness in which the full life of the soul consists. It is the soul which is made after the image and likeness of God; it is in the soul that the sovereignty resides in virtue whereof man is commanded to rule the creatures below him and to use all the earth and the ocean for his profit and advantage. "Fill the earth and subdue it; and rule over the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the air, and all living creatures that move upon the earth."(29) In this respect all men are equal; there is here no difference between rich and poor, master and servant, ruler and ruled, "for the same is Lord over all."(30) No man may with impunity outrage that human dignity which God Himself treats with great reverence, nor stand in the way of that higher life which is the preparation of the eternal life of heaven. Nay, more; no man has in this matter power over himself. To consent to any treatment which is calculated to defeat the end and purpose of his being is beyond his right; he cannot give up his soul to servitude, for it is not man's own rights which are here in question, but the rights of God, the most sacred and inviolable of rights. 

41. From this follows the obligation of the cessation from work and labor on Sundays and certain holy days. The rest from labor is not to be understood as mere giving way to idleness; much less must it be an occasion for spending money and for vicious indulgence, as many would have it to be; but it should be rest from labor, hallowed by religion. Rest (combined with religious observances) disposes man to forget for a while the business of his everyday life, to turn his thoughts to things heavenly, and to the worship which he so strictly owes to the eternal Godhead. It is this, above all, which is the reason arid motive of Sunday rest; a rest sanctioned by God's great law of the Ancient Covenant-"Remember thou keep holy the Sabbath day,"(31) and taught to the world by His own mysterious "rest" after the creation of man: "He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done."(32)
