There is no Gospel I know of that references changing the date of the Sabbath and Jesus practiced the traditional, Saturday Sabbath placement from what we read in scriptures. Except when the Pharisees and Sadducees were accusing him of violating it to cure the sick and save people.

However, I believe I have heard a Catholic Priest or two address the reasoning for the Catholic Church making Sunday the weekday for holy obligation is from the tradition of it being a Sunday when Christ rose from the dead.

Something tells me Charlie would have give that young woman the hat off his head at least seven times seventy times.

Jesus answered them, “I have shown you many good works from the Father; for which of these do you stone me?”

which I grab onto in this context as a way of noting that, while it is true that they claimed instead to want to stone Him on account of things He had said rather than done, there were also the good works in play; and these should also be part of what one who would be any sort of martyr following in Kirk’s footsteps brings to the table.

Charlie Kirk advocated that people read the basic texts of Western Civilization at least once a day and he practiced what he preached. He wanted people to read Plato, Aristotle, John Locke, the Federalist Papers, etc. But the single most important text was the Bible. What he saw there led him to a personal decision to turn off his phone from sundown Friday until Saturday night.

From a Halakhic perspective, there is no requirement for and no merit to a non-Jew observing the Sabbath, but his decision shows a remarkable level of intellectual honesty. Ask a Christian why his Sabbath is on Sunday, and you’ll be amazed. There is actually no mention of such a thing in either the Old Testament or the New one.

In fact, a few Christian groups who reflected on the matter decided to move their Sabbath back to Saturday. The Seventh Day Adventists are the most obvious, but there were also “Subotniks” in Czarist Russia.

As this article illustrates, it does seem that Charlie Kirk demonstrated an uncommon level of respect and warmth toward the Jewish people.

I sense that if Mrs. Kirk is going to use her husband’s martyrdom, she will have to find the balance of citing the hateful nature of the left that resulted in Charlie’s death, vs. employing his ability to disagree without being disagreeable. She needs the first to reduce the impact of the leftist’s attempts at blaming him (and by extension her for carrying on his mission), and the second is needed for the “more balanced left of center folks” (plus some rightists) to let them accept and engage with their (still) erstwhile “enemy”.

When I end up in conversations with my left of center liberal friends, sometimes we have to ignore politics due to TDS, but with some of them we end up with a “pox on both their houses” in describing the reality of the legislatures failing to find their own agreements across the aisle to address the modest (rather than rabid or extreme versions of ) problems that need addressing (i.e., immigration, healthcare and insurance, proper levels of DOD budgeting, aiding business growth and job creation, and especially fiscal responsibility.)

I find Capehart and Brooks particularly detestable.

Barf. Reason infinity + 1 why the MSM ranks somewhere below a snake’s private parts in any measure worth measuring.

Another great quote:

“If we create a climate of fear so that everyone is afraid to talk,” Goldstein added, “then we’ve actually kind of accomplished the goals of people who wanted to silence Charlie Kirk in the first place.”

Ah yes, the classic slap-them-with-their-own-principles trick.

“Well, Jesus said to turn the other cheek, dontcha’know?”

Yes. But not in perpetuity. Reference the cleansing of the Temple.

Sometimes enough is enough.
