The Pool Guy REALLY Broke the Law When He Carried His Mat

‚ÄúIf anyone carries anything from a public place to a private house on the Sabbath intentionally, he is punishable by death by stoning. ‚Äú Barclay on the Mishnah in the commentary on John 5

So when the pool guy says ‚ÄúThey guy that healed me told me to‚Äù he‚Äôs not just making excuses‚Äìhe‚Äôs defending himself from a STONING! I thought it was bad to carry the bed, but not DEADLY ILLEGAL! Bonhoeffer said that ‚ÄúWhen Christ calls a man, He bids him come and die.‚Äù and some people sooner than others
