No I didn't read the link. I read my Bible and yes there are many more points I would say, but since many Christians need to be spoonfed because if they eat real meat, they gag and convulse and fuss "not so" that is not what my church teaches.

An understanding of the Torah renders commonsense.
Deuteronomy 23:12 Thou shalt have a place also without the camp, whither thou shalt go forth abroad:
13 And thou shalt have a paddle upon thy weapon; and it shall be, when thou wilt ease thyself abroad, thou shalt dig therewith, and shalt turn back and cover that which cometh from thee:
14 For the LORD thy God walketh in the midst of thy camp, to deliver thee, and to give up thine enemies before thee; therefore shall thy camp be holy: that he see no unclean thing in thee, and turn away from thee.
Deuteronomy 23:12 Thou shalt have a place also without the camp, whither thou shalt go forth abroad:
13 And thou shalt have a paddle upon thy weapon; and it shall be, when thou wilt ease thyself abroad, thou shalt dig therewith, and shalt turn back and cover that which cometh from thee:
14 For the LORD thy God walketh in the midst of thy camp, to deliver thee, and to give up thine enemies before thee; therefore shall thy camp be holy: that he see no unclean thing in thee, and turn away from thee.
Isaiah 58:13 If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words:
14 Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.
14 Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.
Note: The Jewish Rabbis have an additional book (started out as oral Torah) called the Talmud. The LORD/YHWH said do not add or diminish. Now, having said that, they believe that on the Sabbath walking is the only mode of transportation allowed. Roller skates, scooters, skate boards, elevators, bicycles, and all motorized bikes, and vehicles. So Magenta, do you follow Talmud? Do you have a heart's desire to show God your love by your works? Works are not for salvation, but is the fruit of our salvation.
Jesus said in Mark 3:4 And he saith unto them, Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil? to save life, or to kill? But they held their peace.

Not buying the belief that you cannot keep the commandments or that it is too limited or too hard or a burden.
Rom_8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

Keeping in mind.
“And he said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. So the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.””
Mark 2:27-28 ESV
general suggested guidelines on Sabbath-
Church service isn’t necessarily what it means to “keep the sabbath.” It may be a part but not the rule.
Keep sabbath for rest . If evening comes Sunday and I don’t feel restored I probably haven’t kept the sabbath.
Sabbath can be experienced by what gives you rest and restoration.
-1mile or 20 min walk a day. Just to walking leisurely in prayer even
Sabbath activity - outdoor noises, worship songs mixed with prayer, the Word and More prayer ,giving everyone and everything to God. Consecrating - body, soul, spirit , mind, thoughts, heart, emotions, will, sleeping, dreaming, all that is within your being to Gods Cleansing blood of Jesus to wash all things .

It so happened that I've recently read an article about the difference between Presbyterians and Roman Catholics. It was an overview that explained how these two Christian churches differ from one another and what makes them unique.
Speaking about Sunday, both denominations say that Christians should worship exactly on this day.
And talking about only Presbyterians, John Calvin's direction for the celebration of Holy Communion was every Lord's Day (Sunday). During the time of the Puritan influence upon some Presbyterians, worship and the celebration of the Eucharist became lessened to once per quarter. This has changed in most mainline Presbyterian denominational churches and the celebration of Communion ranges from once a quarter to once a month to every Sunday or Lord's Day Service.
So, I don't think anything will be changed, at least in the nearest future.

Considering what they were told I think they were being very forthright, the leaders said not to preach in His name but they had received their orders.
Acts 5:27:
And they bring them and set them in the council. And the high priest asked them,
Acts 5:28:
saying, We strictly enjoined you not to teach in this name: and lo, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and purpose to bring upon us the blood of this man.
Mark 16:15:
And he said to them, Go into all the world, and preach the glad tidings to all the creation.
