If Worship on Sunday is wrong, then why do SDA rent their churches to Traditional Christian?

Interesting question came up in one of the forums from a Sunday worshiping poster, "If Worship on Sunday is wrong, then why do SDA parishes rent their churches to Traditional Christians?

On this forum Sunday-worshipping Christians are relentlessly criticized by some Adventist members, but meanwhile a great many SDA churches rent their premises out to Orthodox, Anglican and other traditional churches for use in Sunday worship.

If worship on the First Day is, as has been argued, ?the mark of the beast? or some act of eschatological disloyalty or defiance to God, then how is it ethical for SDA congregations to charge rent and make money off of Christians worshipping in such a manner?

Indeed I attended a church that worshipped in an Adventist church this morning; I won?t say which church I attended or which Adventist church they worshipped in to preclude harassment, but it is quite common. The Adventists even made their social hall available, and a very friendly Adventist was present to assist the traditional denomination I visited in accessing the facilities, and he did so without commenting on their faith.

Also it was interesting to note that the main sanctuary featured a pipe organ, paraments and other fittings and was basically identical to any Presbyterian, Methodist or Baptist or low church Anglican parish from the mid 20th century; indeed its appearance strongly reminded me of the USAF Academy in Colorado Springs (albeit without the particularly lovely architecture of Skdmore Owings and Merrill, but the overall layout of the primary and secondary worship spaces was very much in keeping with it)."

What would you answer to such a question?

A great question Hobbie!

Another point to add is that:

There are more Catholics who attend Mass on Saturday than there are Seventh-day Adventists. If worshipping Christ as God on Sunday is a sin, is a worse sin than repudiating the Trinity Doctrine?
