I was reading a couple of Bible verses this morning that made me think, thinking is good, at least most of the time. Anyway it seems the Pharisees had 1521 regulations just for keeping the Sabbath. I'm sure they were sincere in their actions and thoughts. Just trying to make it clear what you can and can't do beyond a shadow of a doubt. They had become so wrapped up in their doctrine they forgot what they were originally there for. Ultimately God has what we call common sense and wants us to have it too and remember what the Sabbath was originally actually for, for worship and communion with Him. Jesus healed the man with the withered hand on the Sabbath much to the Pharisees displeasure. Their precious rules and regulations had been broken, their doctrine shown up for what it was. Let's don't get so wrapped up in rules that we can't enjoy communion with God and his creation.
Matthew 12:9-14 and Mark 3:1-5
Very well said :)
