Sabbath under attack

[True-believer]

Here are some things to review, as outlined in my paper:

1. The Sabbath could not be kept by anyone living in the Jewish community without the head of household being circumcised. The Council of Jerusalem determined that circumcision was not to be required of Christians. Therefore, the Sabbath as a requirement for Christians is impossible.

2. In Hebrew, Moses clearly stated in his account of what happened on the 7th day of Creation that there was no Sabbath commandment implied by what he said. Therefore, it is impossible that the Sabbath was given to anyone except for the Jews.

3. Colossians 2:14-17 is a command, from God, through Paul, that the Sabbath is not to be required of Christians. The result of trying to evade this clear fact has created havoc within the Adventist Church because it is impossible to get around the FACT. Again, we find that the idea that Christians must keep the Sabbath is IMPOSSIBLE.

The Early Church began abandoning Sabbath-keeping prior to 70 AD, had nearly universally abandoned it by 100 AD, and has universally abandoned it by 140 AD. It is impossible that Christians would have done this without biblical authority to do so. The only POSSIBLE explanation is that they followed the commandment of God, given in Colossians 2:14-17, not to require Sabbath-keeping any longer.

Keep this ever before you mind, Luke. You can not believe something just because you want it to be so. No amount of wishing, hoping, and praying will make the Sabbath true, no matter how bad you might want to believe it is true.

Anyone who wishes to believe the Sabbath is part of the New Covenant must disprove everything I wrote in the paper I sent you. This would be IMPOSSIBLE, because there are no possible answers to the FACTS presented there-in.

To prove that the Sabbath started in Eden, for example, you must disprove that Hebrew linguistics do not prove that Moses specially stated, using his own language of Hebrew, that there was no Sabbath commandment implied in his account of the events of the 7th day of Creation, and so on.

Adventists knew the TRUTH about the Sabbath lie prior to 1888, yet have persisted in teaching it, knowing that it was IMPOSSIBLE because it would have disrupted the flow of tithe money into the Church, and there would be no money to support the preachers and their false prophet, Ellen White.

I do hope you will study the paper I sent you very carefully. There is nothing particularly new about what I wrote. Adventists have known it all since 1888. Outside of Adventism, these facts have been known for nearly 2,000 years. The first Christians, in their earliest writings, talk about how they understood that the Sabbath did not begin at Creation.

It is arrogant and just plain stupid that Adventists want to believe that they know more about the Sabbath than the First Christians.

It is my prayer that you will not be deceived by Sabbatarians. Sabbatarianism is impossible, and it cuts deeply into the truth about Grace.

If you have any additional questions, please feel free to write. I will work with you as long as you wish.

Thanks!

Hello everyone,

The above article is by a exAdventist named Kerry.

My mum and stepdad have been getting all this stuff from him and been sending it off to me.

Please prayer.

Here are some things to review, as outlined in my paper:

1. The Sabbath could not be kept by anyone living in the Jewish community without the head of household being circumcised. The Council of Jerusalem determined that circumcision was not to be required of Christians. Therefore, the Sabbath as a requirement for Christians is impossible.

This is a human tradition and has nothing to do with God's expectations or requirements. The council of Jerusalem did not deal with the Sabbath question since there was no dispute or disagreement over the weekly Sabbath.

[John317]

The Early Church began abandoning Sabbath-keeping prior to 70 AD, had nearly universally abandoned it by 100 AD, and has universally abandoned it by 140 AD.

False. Two fifth century church historians, Sozoman and Socrates wrote that, except for the churches at Alexandria and Rome, almost all Christian churches celebrated the mysteries on the Sabbath day. The churches were worshipping on both the Sabbath and Sunday by the fourth century. The church at Rome was encouraged to fast on the Sabbath and to feast on the Sunday.

Also, if the church abandoned the Sabbath, why were laws put in place in Rome which prohibited Sabbath keeping?

There is proof of widespread Sabbath keeping in many parts of the world all throughout history. The Christians in part of Africa kept the Sabbath. For instance, the Coptics in Egypt and the Ethiopians.

Quote:

God was the only One who had the authority to change or abolish the Sabbath. The Apostles themselves did not have the authority to change the law of God.

If the Sabbath was going to be changed and Sunday become part of the New Covenant, it would have had to be done before the death of Christ.

Besides, it can be easily shown that Col. 2: 14 had nothing to do with the Sabbath or the Ten Commandments. It had to do with the list of sins we are guilty of having committed against God. This list was nailed to the cross.
