Did God rest on the seventh day. He/She doesn't sleep or eat or...well all He/She really does is...what, watch us?

Still working does not mean he is still creating!!!!!!

The Lord said to them: “My Father has kept working until now, and I keep working.” (John 5:16, 17) What was the point? Jesus was being accused of working on the Sabbath.

Originally posted by galveston75It's not obvious at all, I suspected you had stollen it and so I googled it. You just topped and tailed it to make it look like your own thinking.
