"Christians should not take part in sporting events or go shopping on a Sunday"
R.E Coursework Question 2
“Christians should not take part in sporting events or go shopping on a Sunday”
I slightly agree but partly disagree also with this statement. Because God has stated to everyone that the seventh day of the week (or Sabbath day) should be kept holy and dedicated to him, It was also written in the Bible, that God exclaimed “On that day no one is to work neither you, your children, your slaves, your animals, nor foreigners who live in your country” Exodus 20:10. I think that sport has decreased its value for recreation and increased its value for money for instance, the majority of people who play sport now only play it for an obscene amount of money they receive for doing so, not their love for the sport. It would appear that because of watching football on a television set or in a stadium would be self-centred and inconsiderate because your presence may add to the fact that many more people would have to work because of you. Yet by playing sport on a Sunday, you are working but also causing others to.
