If your dog or one of your parents fell into a hole on the sabbath, would you not help them out of the hole? Do you think God would dis-approve of you heping someone on the Sabbath?

Have you read the NT and where Jesus explains or ReBukes the learned on Working on the Sabbath?
I don't quite understand your point here. Yes, of course I would help someone on the Sabbath. I will happily help anyone, regardless of what day it is. But, my post made no claim to the contrary. Instead, I was pointing out that according to the Old Testament, God appears to want us to kill anyone who works on the Sabbath. I'm not suggesting we should kill anyone!
My post presents a modern day example of what could happen if someone were to take this passage as being the authoritative Word of God, and subsequently acted upon it. My hypothetical character kills the hypermarket employees (including the one who asks him if he needs any help) precisely because they're working on the Sabbath, and he believes God has instructed him to murder them. One employee asks him if he wants any help simply because that's what people who work in shops tend to do when someone looks suspicious! I wasn't making a point about being punished for offering to help people who work on the Sabbath.
See Matthew herin lies the problem
You have a Pyscho running around trying to interput one verse out of context and killing everyone. It is no different than what you are trying to do. Take a verse and apply it out of context. Of Course there are going to be people who do this just like there are people who do it to fantasy works and role playing games. What has that to do with Christianity?
Why don't you stop the flamming and ask the questions?
Hypothetically then would you killer be working on the sabbath as well?
See where this gets thin is why would the killer who is bent on enforcing Gods Laws ignore the rest of the laws?
And because of this post I can see clearly you are going to try and get the Bible banned. Otherwise why would you bring this up?
Again Matthew are you "A person from the Nation of Isreal?"
