Please, why not?
Its not like one day matters...
You're a sinner, I'm a sinner
This much is true, but...
Why not, I told you why not.
That one day is all that matters...
What would Jesus do?
I'm asking you as a friend...
Jesus would keep the Sabbath.
A real friend wouldn't ask me...
I'm very disappointed in you.
You're going to make him sad...
Disappointed, in me?
Do those people include you...
No, he's going to be sad too.
He wanted you to come along...
If he's sad that's with him
He already knows I can't come...
No, no, he's sad.
He texted me last night...
No!
I'm not going...
Why not?
Because I'm not breaking my Sabbath...
I'm Seventh-Day Adventist and a friend of mine (his words in bold) was having a birthday hang out with his friends on the Saturday of his birthday. I can't do anything but worship and go to church from Friday sunset to Saturday sunset because that is my Sabbath. I can't lie I've broken my Sabbath before and I was fully aware that I was doing so. However for my birthday a year ago I made the commitment to myself and God to live a better life by getting baptized. I'm not going to turn into the perfect Christian over night but things that I can control about my life and religion I want to keep according to how I was raised. He said I wasn't being a good friend in not going and tried to use my boyfriend as a bait to get me to go even though I said no. I do wish him a happy birthday but at the same time I would respect your religion and choices there after so please give me the same common courtesy.
