Constitutes Work according to whom? That is the point here. Christ is showing the contrast between the traditional/religious defination and what God has indended.
this is true even now. god is not a respecter of the traditions of man even if they are directed at worshiping Him, for the sake of the appearance of Holyness. The story of the 'Good Sameritian' is another example of this.

Quote: Then, of course, you will argue that becuase Jesus knew the correct interpretation they should have bowed to it. However, the odds that they trusted him to be the son of god are probably as good as the chances of you believeing that some random person claiming to be the second coming was telling the truth.Christ was working under the OLD Law with the Jews. (That is why He came doing miricals) It was through Miricals That one was established as a Prophet of God. The stronger and more amazing the mirical the stronger and more important the message the Prophet had. The fact that Christ (Even if they did not believe him to be the Son of God) established Himself by rasing the dead and healing the sick when not even present Would have put Him in a class on his own far above and beyond all other prophets the Jew has every seen. Now couple this with the teaching He had on the sabbath, and his ablity to call on the power of God and do (what they considered to be work) on the sabbath Meant that the Jewish authority had misrepersented what the sabbath was, and what could or could not have been done on the sabbath. That is why they plotted to Kill Him after this. Because basically He had power they did not and basically told all of them and their followers that they did not understand or had the wrong understanding of one of the most basic commandments. He did this in such away that for them they could not deny His authority nor what He said. For they knew only God could grant this power and God would not have granted Him this ablity if He was not Truly repersenting God.
Quote:Because god is merciless and unforgiving by nature?If that were true then why offer attonement?

If that is not the right response then your going to have to explain what "Your brain is a pickle" means.
