Oh?
"And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him,
because he had done these things on the sabbath day.
But Jesus answered them,
My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.
Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God" (Jn. 5:16-18 AV).
What do you make of that, FRiend?

It's not work if it is love. So, it's a good thing God doesn't stop loving people, especially on the Sabbath. Because if it were work, He wouldn't be able to lift a finger.
The Messiah does not violate the Sabbath. And neither does he claim to be God. The NT is chock full of the religious Establishment's lack of insight and understanding. As it was then, so it is today. The more some folks are put in their place, the more they are offended. Kind of like President Trump vs. the political Establishment and its lockstep media.
If the Messiah believed in the trinity doctrine, for example, he wouldn't even recognize himself. Makes perfect sense actually, because he could be sitting in a church pew week after week, year after year, yet himself go wholly unrecognized by those who ostensibly believe in him.
"Trump". That's the very definition of a flipped over story.
It's a weird little world out there..
