Wow, I can't believe
our time is just about up.
00:00:01.33\00:00:02.96
I wanna throw out
one more question here.
00:00:03.00\00:00:04.93
What do you suggest about
00:00:04.97\00:00:06.43
spousal physical
relation on Sabbath?
00:00:06.47\00:00:09.60
Wow.
00:00:09.64\00:00:10.97
You know, I look to this one
00:00:11.01\00:00:12.34
because I'm
married, going on 38 years
00:00:12.37\00:00:14.04
and praise God, it
has been beautiful.
00:00:14.08\00:00:16.01
There was in the Jewish writings
00:00:16.04\00:00:17.45
the Mishneh Torah,
00:00:17.51\00:00:19.01
they compile the
collection of Jewish laws,
00:00:19.05\00:00:21.28
compiled called the Maimonides.
00:00:21.32\00:00:23.69
And they said in
that Mishneh Torah,
00:00:23.75\00:00:26.96
the book Shabbat 30:14,
00:00:27.02\00:00:30.23
they said,
"Whenever sex was entered
00:00:30.29\00:00:33.36
into by a husband and wife,
00:00:33.40\00:00:34.73
they called it considered
00:00:34.73\00:00:36.33
a dimension of
Sabbath pleasure."
00:00:36.36\00:00:39.17
So they said, "God
would not have made
00:00:39.20\00:00:40.97
man and woman and
said, the greatest gift
00:00:41.00\00:00:44.44
I've given to you
must wait until Monday."
00:00:44.47\00:00:48.21
Plus there's
something else He did,
00:00:48.24\00:00:49.58
I'll give you guys to take that.
00:00:49.61\00:00:50.95
Well, I mean
obviously the very first command
00:00:50.98\00:00:52.31
that He gave
them on the sixth day,
00:00:52.35\00:00:53.68
by the way, it's
probably would have been
00:00:53.75\00:00:55.08
toward the end of the sixth day,
00:00:55.12\00:00:56.62
the command He
gave him was what?
00:00:56.65\00:00:58.25
Be fruitful and multiply,
00:00:58.29\00:01:00.79
but we don't see
there'll be fruitful
00:01:00.86\00:01:02.26
and multiply except on Sabbath.
00:01:02.29\00:01:04.53
So in this case,
absolutely I think
00:01:04.56\00:01:06.96
God left that
gift that moment open
00:01:07.00\00:01:09.43
for the husband
and wife to decide on.
00:01:09.46\00:01:12.27
I love James, it says,
"Every good and perfect gift
00:01:12.30\00:01:15.10
is from above and comes down
00:01:15.14\00:01:16.47
from the Father of light."
00:01:16.50\00:01:17.84
So you think
about the gifts that
00:01:17.87\00:01:19.24
God gives to us
and one of those gifts
00:01:19.27\00:01:21.58
is the gift of sexual intimacy
00:01:21.61\00:01:23.78
within the bounds of marriage."
00:01:23.81\00:01:26.65
God created Adam
and Eve on Friday,
00:01:26.68\00:01:29.32
and so what were they
doing Friday night and Sabbath?
00:01:29.35\00:01:31.82
I mean they were
just newly married,
00:01:31.85\00:01:33.59
so I think what a
gift from God our Father,
00:01:33.62\00:01:35.59
so praise Him for that.
00:01:35.62\00:01:37.16
Amen. Amen.
00:01:37.19\00:01:38.53
Amen.
00:01:38.56\00:01:39.89
