Jesus allowed his disciples to pick corn on the Sabbath. Jesus healed a man on the Sabbath. The scribes and Pharisees were all over Jesus about this.
For 19 years I tried it your way. It did not work for me. I was not made for keeping rules. The rules were made for my benefit. If the rules do not benefit me, I am out. I learned this lesson waaaaayyyyyy too late. I should have left long, long ago.
So, there is my answer.

Well that is a convenient outlook on scripture. "If said scripture just doesn't work for the way I like things...then that scripture just must not apply to me".
Thats pretty extreme foolishness for even this forum, and this forum has had some real doozies!
