If you follow_______ you will honor ________ .

[Scuba]

If you follow Islam you will honor Friday, the sixth day.

If you follow Antichrist you will honor Sunday, the first day.

If you follow Jesus Christ you will honor Saturday, the seventh day.

Acts 13:44 On the next Sabbath almost the whole city came together to hear the word of God.

It's just that simple.

[Tom Wetmore]

The day you honor seems a tricky test.  Jews still honor Saturday, the seventh day.  Yet they clearly don't follow Jesus Christ.  Numerous devoted followers of Jesus Christ do not keep Saturday as Sabbath with no intent to dishonor Him by doing so.    Many of them specifically keep Sunday and follow and worship Jesus Christ.

Why is it not honoring any other day than Saturday, the seventh day?  Why do you think that followers of  Antichrist only honor Sunday, the first day?  

What do you call anyone who denies that Jesus is the Messiah?  What do you call someone who denies that Jesus came in the flesh?  Do you think that there is only one antichrist?  (Hint - see if you can find in Scripture where the word "antichrist" is used.)

1John 2:18; 1John 2:22, 1John 4:3; and 2John 1:7 are the only verses that mention "antichrist" specifically; and all of them match Tom's questions rather than Scuba's proposition.  I think as one studies deeper into things, they become more complex and convoluted rather than simpler and more clear.  The basic message of the gospel is summed up in the most memorized verse in the Bible - John 3:16 - and Romans 10:9: "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved;"  and those basic truths are pretty much common to almost all Christian sects.  We don't need a Greek or Hebrew lexicon or EGW to understand that.

As I've said before, I believe that Jesus would have us look for ways to INCLUDE other believers in our fellowship rather than how to EXCLUDE then through peculiar doctrines that complicate the gospel message.
