On Shabbat no fire?

(1/5) > >>

SW:
I read on Wikipedia that it's not allowed to spark a fire. Is it true? How do you inflame a candle or the menorah?

Harzel:
I think in Shabat Hanuka the menorah is lit before the Shabat begins and the day after it is lit after the Shabat ends. The Shabat Candles are lit just before Shabat, actually I think an hour before the Shabat actually begins.

But it is true that sparking fire is forbidden on Shabat and based on that rule even turning on lights or electrical appliances is also forbidden.

Raulmarrio2000:
Not lighting a fire is one the 39 prohibitions for Jews during Shabat. They can have a fire lit before Shabat begins. But a Gentile MUST NOT keep Shabat. It's forbidden and even dangerous for his soul and his life!!! If you are a Gentile you can choose a day in the week to rest from your job, you can choose the Seventh Day, in remembarnce of the Creation if you want, but you MUST NEVER do the ritual Jewish rest neither on Saturdays nor on anyother day.

SW:
So if I would do Shabbat it's dangerous for my soul? We Christians have the Sunday.

I think from a Jewish view even if a gentile is trying to keep Shabbat he must at least do one violation like turning on a light for example.
