They can worship on Sabbath. Just because we need some people to volunteer their services on Sabbath for the welfare of others is no reason to make void the Command.
Surely, you understand that emergencies occur everyday,,even on Sabbath.
If you work at walmart on Sabbath,,it is sinning. First off,,, going shopping on Sabbath is sinful... I don't buy nor sell on the Sabbath.
If you are a nurse and you have folks that need care on Sabbath,, go,, take care of them.. it is not unlawful to do good and help folks that are sick on the Sabbath.
If you are a police officer.. Then you can still worship on Sabbath, and go to your job.. Same with a fireman.
But,, if you run a bowling alley,,, you should close it on Sabbath.
Really,, this is all simple common sense.
My wife is an RN... She helps people,,even on Sabbath.

i should also add that while sabbath keepers have a lot of explaining to do here...these issues pose no problem for the rest of us...
the bible says that christians are all priests of God...the work we do on the sabbath is done 'to the glory of God' as is all the rest of the work we do...so as priests we are permitted to serve God through our work on the sabbath...just like the old testament priests and jesus broke the sabbath yet remained innocent because they were doing a service to God...

Jesus never broke the Sabbath,, you are lost! lol
If you believe Jesus is a sinner,, and it's fairly clear that you think Jesus is just full of sin.. Perhaps Muhammed would be a better choice as a savior for you. Cause according to you,, Jesus is a mere sinner,,, so surely you don't think a sinning Jesus is the Messiah?

john 5:18..."For this reason therefore the Jews were seeking all the more to kill Him, because He not only was breaking the Sabbath, but also was calling God His own Father, making Himself equal with God."
but jesus broke the sabbath without sinning as i have already explained several times in this thread...and we are capable of the same...
in any case i have -never- said jesus was a sinner...i believe that jesus lived a perfect life and never sinned...
so again you are accusing me falsely...and again i remind you of one of the commandments...
exodus 20:16..."You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor."
and like i already said about muhammad...he taught salvation by works...i believe in salvation by grace through faith in christ!

Don't give me the excuse that you have nothing to eat,, so you must go to a restuarant on Sabbath,, Fiddle-sticks!
If you prepare for Sabbath,, you could go to the grocery and make a nice lunch from the things you purchased on Friday, before Sabbath begins,,,,that's why friday is referred to as "preparation day".
If you are organized and prepared for Sabbath,, it becomes quite a peaceful blessing,, instead of a time of stress-related decision making.
Jesus didn't break the Sabbath. Jesus didn't commit Blaspheme...lol
What's wrong with you?
So it shall be in the last days,, Gods people will be accused of Sabbath breaking!!!
Those who refuse to observe Sunday the 1st day of the week,, will be accused,, just as Jesus was wrongly accused of breking Sabbath...
Jesus is sinless! Understand that..
Jesus forgave the sins of men... Somthing only God can do,,,, So,, the pharsisees falsely Accused Jesus of 2 crimes: Sabbath-breaking,,, and Blaspheme. He was innocent of both charges.

it is not a sin to be a good employee...
ephesians 6:7..."With good will render service, as to the Lord, and not to men, knowing that whatever good thing each one does, this he will receive back from the Lord, whether slave or free."
to be a good employee is doing good on the sabbath...which is lawful...

the verse i just quoted says -flat out- that jesus was 'breaking the sabbath'...it doesn't say 'they accused him of breaking the sabbath'...and it doesn't quote someone making the claim he was breaking the sabbath...
the divinely inspired narrator john says plainly that jesus was 'breaking the sabbath'
and it wasn't a sin for him because he was a priest and priests are allowed to break the sabbath in their service without being guilty of sin...
'so it shall be in the last days'...are you now pretending to be a prophet too?

Rach,, when I learned about the Sabbath,, I had a job, and I worked on Saturdays.....
I finally went to my boss, and I told him of my new found faith. I told him that I liked my job,, but, I had come to a crossroad...
I told my boss to give me my Sabbath off,, or I would quit. My boss was an atheist and a drunk.
The next Sabbath,, he told me, I didn't have to work anymore Saturdays!
I went to God, before I went to my boss.
I upheld God and His Commandment.... and because I did,, He softened the heart of my boss and my boss, gave me my Sabbaths off,, reluctantly,, but he did.
I have the utmost confidence in God. If I go to Him and ask Him anything.. I believe He will do it for me if it is in His will.
I tell you this.....
Sometime ago.. I had some great financial trouble. I nearly lost my house.
I went to God...And I prayed that He would get me a job. After my prayer,,, I swear to you,,, not 10 minutes went by,, that my phone rang,, and a job was offered at 21 bucks a hour.
If I call on God,, I'm sure He hears me. He upholds me, constantly. And I love Him!
Now,, excuse me,, I have to go. Happy Sabbath!

i am posting this quotation from another thread because it is an example of the way sabbath keepers -should- behave...which sadly is -not- the way most of them behave...especially the seventh day adventists...
notice a few things from this post...
the poster makes no assertion of superior obedience or any other kind of moral superiority just because he is observing the sabbath...
the poster does not attempt to condemn or accuse or otherwise impose guilt on those who aren't observing the sabbath...
the poster does not claim that those who do not regard the sabbath as he does are future recipients of the mark of the beast...
i don't observe the sabbath...but i have no problem with sabbath keepers when they take this approach...
