Welcome to TruthTalk, Slade. Are you saying that breaking Shabbat is not a capital offense? How do you understand the following verses? Exo 31:14 Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people. Exo 31:15 Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death. If I have read this law of God, and I build a fire in my fireplace on a cold Saturday morning, have I sinned? Should I be put to death? Yes or no? Peace be with you.
