Exodus 20:8-11 says > Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. 9 **Six days you shall labor** > and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD > your God, on which you must not do any work—neither you, nor your son > or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant or livestock, nor the > foreigner within your gates. 11 For in six days the LORD made the > heavens and the earth and the sea and all that is in them, but on the > seventh day He rested. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and > set it apart as holy. Similarly, Deuteronomy 5:12-14 says > Observe the Sabbath day by keeping it holy, as the LORD your God has > commanded you. 13 **Six days you shall labor** and do all your work, 14 but > the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God, on which you must > not do any work Have any Christian theologians or denominations held that a 5 or 4 day work week, unlike the 6 day work week apparently proscribed in Exodus and Deuteronomy by God, is unscriptural and should therefore be replaced with a 6 day work week by Christians?
