I really can't see how you can make this declaration given the actual Word's of the Bible.
John 1:
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4 In him was life;
and the life was the light of men. (Notice it says the "Life" of Christ, not the death of Christ.)
Col. 1:
15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
16 For
by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether
they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers:
all things were created by him, and for him:
17 And he is before
all things,
and by him all things consist.
This means it was the Christ who told Cain to rule over the sin that is in him.
Gen. 1:
6 And the LORD (Jesus) said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?
7 If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee
shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.
It was Jesus, as the Word which said;
Ex. 20:
2 I
am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt,(Sin) out of the house of bondage.(Death and deception)
3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
It was Jesus who did the following;
Gen. 2:
2 And on the seventh day God (word which became Flesh) ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
3 And God (Word which became Flesh)
blessed the seventh day,
and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
And again, it was the Word which became Flesh that said:
Ex. 20:
8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
10 But the seventh day
is the sabbath of the LORD (Jesus) thy God:
in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that
is within thy gates:
11 For
in six days the LORD (Jesus) made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them
is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD (Jesus) blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
When the Word which became Flesh came to us in the person of Jesus there was no other "Word", no other scriptures, no letters from Paul to "wrest" as the scriptures say men do. There was only the inspired Word of the Spirit of Christ that was in the Prophets and authors.
So when Jesus made the following declarations, He was speaking to His Word as the "Word which became Flesh".
John 14:
21
He that hath my commandments,
and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him,
and will manifest myself to him.
And again.
Matt. 19:
17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good?
there is none good but one,
that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
It is man's religious tradition that corrupts, and slices and dices The Word's of Christ to fit the religion they cherish. Jesus never did.
The inspired Word of the Christ mentions the Sabbath that Jesus created for man 147 times in the Bible, 92 in the OT and 55 in the NT. (KJV)
Contrast that to the religious tradition of replacing the Sabbath Jesus created with Sunday. There is not one mention of changing this Commandment of the Christ in the entire Bible. Yes, it is true that the apostles ate together on Sunday, but no mention of it becoming His Sabbath. Yet this world has Sunday Laws, and it is known world wide as the "Christian Sabbath".
I find your justification for the elimination of His Sabbath kind of hypocritical. You suggest that these letters from Paul which were added to the Bible by the Catholic church years after Jesus died somehow make void all the Word's of the Christ before His ministry. Jesus never taught that at all. He taught just the opposite.
Matt. 5:
17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
19
Whosoever therefore
shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven:
but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Paul never taught it either.
Acts 24:
14 But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers,
believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets:
15 And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.
I might ask; "How many times must the Word which became Flesh give you a commandment before you believe in Him?"
Secondly, Man created the largest religious "High Day" ever observed in human history. The World's economy is so tied to this religious tradition that the financial world would come crumbling down if it ever stopped. Yet there is not one Word in the entire Bible, OT or NT that makes mention of it, except Jer. 10 which speaks to something similar. "The silence is deafening" yet it is considered by this world as the premier "Christian" "High Day".
Personally I don't agree with much of the SDA teaching. I think it is a mistake to trust any religious franchise for instruction in righteousness give all the warnings of religious men deceiving folks.
I think Jesus was quite clear. He taught that we are to keep His Commandments, including the Sabbath that He created for man.
The question is who do we believe?
