Nehemiah Chapter 13:15-22 Makes it very clear, no selling or buying on Sabbath Day, it even addresses wine & other things. Jews prepared everything day before, they didn’t buy or sell on Sabbath. That’s what they voted on selling issue, not drinking issue.

Exodus 16:22-26
Keeping God’s Sabbath is so much more than drinking or not drinking on Sunday. God says, Keep it holy. God wouldn’t even provide manna from heaven on God’s Sabbath. He told the Jews to gather twice as much day before Sabbath. If God won’t violate his rule providing manna for his people on sabbath, Should we do any less? If you insist on drinking, buy twice as much on Saturday, that’s your right. Let’s keep Sunday Holy because God kept his day holy. I support Roger.

There was a man who once said, “ I rather live my whole life believing and living for God and die and find out that he didn’t exist than to live a life without him and die and open my eyes standing in judgement”.

Your Christians values I never questioned. I believe the same as you do. We must stand for what we believe. I have a couple of issues why I wouldn’t vote for it but yes if we stand on Christian Values then I wouldn’t expect you to vote any other way. I respect your decision. I know we have disagreed on many issues but we always agreed that we were brothers as Children of God.

Where in the Bible does it say, “thou shall not drink wine or spirits on the day of the sabbath”?

Come on, it’s 2018 and why are we mixing religion and politics? You cannot refer to Christmas because you may offend someone so you refer to it as winter holiday but you can throw “YOUR BELIEF” that someone will be violating God’s will by buying alcohol on Sunday?

Seems as if the citizens elected Rodger Atkinson on his political stance and integrity to represent them. Apparently this is what he is doing, voting the way his integrity directs him. You and I may disagree, but as long as he is voting honestly, and not in a way to “fill his collard bucket” then he should vote as his conscience directs him.
