I’m not much for organized religion, but I found myself enjoying his sermons, some of which I still think about. He seemed like one of the most sincerely decent people in the megachurch circles; I always wondered if he’d get caught in some scandal like so many of his peers, but it sounds like he’s still a decent man.

It makes me sad to think of Robert Schuller’s joyful and loving welcome being tainted by his daughter’s “welcome, but only after you sign here that you agree with my bigoted and moralistic opinion”…I don’t know if I would ever have gone to his church, but I used to feel I would have been welcome as a guest. Not any longer, it seems.

We are an open and affirming church that welcomes LGBT people. Why, even the pastor is gay!

Given the Crystal Cathedral’s precarious current financial situation — they are in bankruptcy — I would not be surprised if a large donor has promised a major gift on the condition the church become more visibly anti-gay.

And, from a business perspective, the current leadership of the Crystal Cathedral has led them into severe decline and bankruptcy court. In a real business, with an independent board of directors, they’d be fired.

Please show me chapter and verse where God changed its mind about which day was the Sabbath

Please show me where it’s written that “the Sabbath” CAN’T be “Sunday,” or where “Sabbath” is even clearly identified as being “the day after Friday.” (You won’t find this, because Jewish tradition doesn’t name the six non-Sabbath days of the week.)

Of course, since Jewish tradition has always regarded the “Sabbath” as being the final day of a seven-day week, then for consistency’s sake, Christians who want to observe Sunday as the Sabbath ought to reckon the week as beginning on Monday, thereby making Sunday the seventh day.

So in this sense — and ONLY in this sense — calendars that treat the Christian Sabbath (i.e., Sunday) as the FIRST day of the week rather than the LAST day of the week are inconsistent with the way that Scripture defines “the Sabbath.”

But NB that calendars beginning the week on Monday and ending on Sunday are in fact used in some Western countries that are or historically were majority Christian — it merely happens that the Sunday-to-Saturday week is the preferred calendar format in other countries, including the US.
