What does this say about God?

First, in the day violating the sabbath was no minor offense, basically giving God the finger. Nobody got away with doing that to an earthly, less worthy king. And it says He doesn't conform to what YOU want HIM to be, you need to conform to what HE wants YOU to be. A valuable lesson.

I was taught from the cradle that violating the Sabbath was a Capitol Offence resulting in eternal death.

I was trained that when civil law requires one to break the Sabbath, one had better take the punishment handed down by the court, rather than face God's wrath.

As one of the commandments, the Sabbath is sacrosanct and the cornerstone of all that follows.

Oh, and the Sabbath is the seventh day, not the first.

But yes, punishing one man for breaking the Sabbath might be compared to a parent punishing one child for feeding poison to all of his siblings.


You would kill one of your own children for trivially breaking the Sabbath? Because by gathering his toys on the Sabbath he is poisoning the others toward the Laws of God?


We went from the OT to present and went from responsible adult who was deliberately being traitorous to a little child playing with toys. Can you provide more logically equivalent illustrations? This sounds like liberal news media.
