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 workâneither 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?
