@ We have had this conversation before on this list, remember? Or
should I go back and drag it all out again?

Of course I agree with the OT Sabbath principles - they all pointed to Christ.

Now if I own land and I don't want to allow my land to rest, that's
MY business.

If you attempt to impose your moral conscience on me and by forcing
me to let my land rest, you aren't loving your neighbor as you love
yourself since there is no way you would allow anyone to force his
moral conscience on you.
