I'm not exactly a strict sabbatarian but...

...is it inconsistent for a Christian to admire Truett Cathy of Chik-fil-a for sacrificing profits by closing shop on Sundays in order to honor the sabbath by giving his employees a day of rest if the same Christian goes out to eat after church every Sunday, thereby forcing someone to work for him?

Just wondering.

Peace

You must have too much time to think when I am away.


And yes, it is inconsistent.

If your reason for admiring him is because you think people shouldn't work on Sunday, then yes, it is inconsistent.

If your reason for admiring him is because he's taking an uncommon and potentially unpopular stance to stick to his own beliefs, even if you may not agree 100% with those beliefs, then it is not inconsistent.

Personally, I quietly cheer the Closed on Sunday stance Monday through Saturday, and then quietly curse it on Sundays when I want something to eat.
