I have sad news... I was just reading Leviticus and realized that I must exile myself, "be cut off" from my own people. Now how will I go to church?
If you were truly dedicated, and if you sought God's anointing, unlike others, this would not be an issue for you. In fact, it would be common sense.

1 Corinthians 7:5 (Whole Chapter) Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.
If a husband and wife agree to abstain from relations for a time of dedication, that's one thing. But, to say that they HAVE to abstain on EVERY Sabbath (which is Saturday, by the way) is absolutely ridiculous. Even if it WAS a commandment under the law, Jesus addresses it as thus:
Mark 2:24
And the Pharisees said unto him, Behold, why do they on the sabbath day that which is not lawful? Mark 2:27
And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:
When I read this verse, what jumps out at me is the fact that it seems to be saying in no uncertain terms "DON'T defraud (abstain) from one another BUT if you MUST..... then here are the conditions and the reasons."
Brad, have you geen triming the corners of your beard?
That's a little more appropriate than what I was admitting to, so... yes...
Actually, it may be a moot point... based on all the people who have to be killed for one reason or another, there won't be anyone to exile myself from...
