Baptysterian
Puritan Board Freshman
Let me preface my question by saying that when it comes to the Lord's Day as the Sabbath I am in full agreement with the 2nd LBCF Ch.22.7 but not settled concretely on Ch.22.8, specifically in regards to "do not only observe a holy rest all day... about their worldly employment and recreations." I'm still working through this particular aspect of observing the Sabbath and am open to my view being altered and would even say that I continue to find myself more and more aligned to the confession. However, I am still reserved in regards to abstaining for recreations. That being said, if the confessions are correctly representing the biblical view of the sabbath and it truly is a part of the moral law and people break that moral law, should churches exercise church discipline? If you don't think so, please explain why church discipline should not occur for breaking of the sabbath but should occur for a man committing adultery even though both are a part of the moral law. Again for sake of clarity, I am holding my position loosely and am open to it being altered.
