Now for Sunday
God commands men to work upon the first day of the week. (Exodus 20.8-11.) Is it wrong to obey God?

  • None of the patriarchs ever kept it.
  • None of the holy prophets ever kept it.
  • By the express command of-God, His holy people used the first day of the week as a common working day for 4,000 years, at least.
  • God Himself calls it a “working” day. (Ezekiel 46:1.)
  • God did not rest upon it.
  • He never blessed it.
  • Christ did not rest upon it.
  • Jesus was a carpenter (Mark 6:3), and worked at His trade until He was thirty years old. He kept the Sabbath and worked six days in the week, as all admit. Hence He did many a hard day’s work on Sunday.
  • The very first thing recorded In the Bible is work done on Sunday, the first day of the week. (Genesis l: l-5.) The Creator Himself did this. If God made the earth on Sunday, can it be wicked for us to work on Sunday?
  • The apostles worked upon it during the same time.
  • The apostles never rested upon it.
  • Christ never blessed it.
  • It has never been blessed by any divine authority.
  • It has never been sanctified.
  • No law was ever given to enforce the keeping of it, hence it is no transgression to work upon it. “Where no law is, there is no transgression.” Romans 4:15 (See also 1 John 3:4.)
  • The New Testament nowhere forbids work to be done on it.
  • No penalty is provided for its violation.
  • No blessing is promised for its observance.
 
Trot out the same old, tired arguments. The New Covenant is for those who are new creations in Christ Jesus. My advice is to quit your dead religion and come into the new life. Lord Jesus died and rose again to grant us liberty, not to put us back into bondage.

Sun worship? So you advocate worshiping Saturn instead? Not much of an improvement.
No, the days of the week are named after pagan gods:
  • Sunday — Sun deity (e.g., Sol/Helios in Roman/Greco-Roman tradition; various sun deities in otherpagan cultures)
  • Monday — Moon deity (e.g., Luna/Selene)
  • Tuesday — Tiw/Týr (Germanic war god; equated with Mars)
  • Wednesday — Woden/Odin (chief Germanic god; equated with Mercury)
  • Thursday — Thor (Germanic thunder god; equated with Jupiter)
  • Friday — Frigg (or Freyja in some traditions) (Germanic love/fertility goddesses; equated with Venus)
  • Saturday — Saturn (Roman god of agriculture/time; retained in the Latin-derived name)
In the Bible God calls days by their number with the exception of the seventh day which is the Sabbath.

  • After the holy Sabbath has been trodden down “many generations,” it is to be restored in the last days. (Isaiah 58:12,13.)
  • All the holy prophets kept the seventh day.
  • When the Son of God came, He kept the seventh day all His life. (Luke 4:16; John 15:10.) Thus He followed His Father’s example at creation. Shall we not be safe in following the example of both the Father and the Son?
  • The seventh day is the Lord’s Day. (See Revelation 1:10; Mark 2:28; Isaiah 58:13; Exodus 20:10.)
  • Jesus was Lord of the Sabbath (Mark 2:28), that is, to love and protect it, as the husband is the lord of the wife, to love and cherish her (1 Peter 3:6.)
  • He vindicated the Sabbath as a merciful institution designed for man’s good. (Mark 2:23-28.)
  • Instead of abolishing the Sabbath, He carefully taught how it should be observed. (Matthew 12:1-13.)
  • He taught His disciples that they should do nothing upon the Sabbath day but what was “lawful” (Matthew 12:12.)
  • He instructed His apostles that the Sabbath should be prayerfully regarded forty years after His resurrection. (Matthew 24:20.)
  • The pious women who had been with Jesus carefully kept the seventh day after His death. (Luke 23:56.)
  • Thirty years after Christ’s resurrection, the Holy Spirit’ expressly calls it “the Sabbath day,”(Acts 13:14.)
  • Paul, the apostle to the Gentiles, called it the “Sabbath day” in A.D. 45. (Acts 13:27.) Did not Paul know? Or shall we believe modern teachers, who affirm that it ceased to be the Sabbath at the resurrection of Christ?
  • Luke, the inspired Christian historian, writing as late as A.D. 62, calls it the “Sabbath day.” (Acts 13:44.)
  • The Gentile converts called it the Sabbath. (Acts 13:42.)
  • In the great Christian council, A.D. 49, in the presence of the apostles and thousands of disciples, James calls it the “sabbath day.” (Acts 15:21)
  • It was customary to hold prayer meetings upon that day. (Acts 16:13.)
  • Paul read the Scriptures in public meetings on that day. (Acts 17:2, 3.)
  • It was his custom to preach upon that day. (Acts 17:2,3.)
  • The Book of Acts alone gives a record of his holding eighty-four meetings upon that day. (See Acts 13:14, 44; 16:13; 17:2; 18:4. 11.)
  • There was never any dispute between the Christians and the Jews about the Sabbath day. This is proof that the Christians still observed the same day that the Jews did.
  • In all their accusations against Paul, they never charged him with disregarding the Sabbath day. Why did they not, if he did not keep it?
  • But Paul himself expressly declared that he had kept the law. “Neither against the law of the Jews, neither against the temple, nor yet against Caesar, have I offended any thing at all.” Acts 25:8. How could this be true if he had not kept the Sabbath?
  • The Sabbath is mentioned in the New Testament fifty-nine times, and always with respect, bearing the same title it had in the Old Testament, “the Sabbath day.”
  • Not a word is said anywhere in the New Testament about the Sabbath’s being abolished, done away, changed, or anything of the kind.
  • God has never given permission to any man to work upon it. Reader, by what authority do you use – the seventh day for common labor?
  • No Christian of the New Testament, either before or after the resurrection, ever did ordinary work upon the seventh day. Find one case of that kind, and we will yield the question. Why should modem Christians do differently from Bible Christians?
  • There is no record that God has ever removed His blessing or sanctification from the seventh day.
  • As the Sabbath was kept in Eden before the fall, so it will be observed eternally in the new earth after the restitution. (Isaiah 66:22, 23.)
  • The seventh-day Sabbath was an important part of the law of God, as it came from His own mouth, and was written by His own finger upon stone at Sinai. (See Exodus 20.) When Jesus began His work, He expressly declared that He had not come to destroy the law. “Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets.” Matthew 5:17
  • Jesus severely condemned the Pharisees as hypocrites for pretending to love God, while at the same tune they made void one of the Ten Commandments by their tradition. The keeping of Sunday is only a tradition of men.
Amen brother!

And it continues on as it is always God's perfect will.

Heb 12:22 But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels, 23 general assembly and church of the firstborn who are registered in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect

Isa66:22For as the new heavens and the new earth
Which I will make shall remain before Me,” says the Lord
,
“So shall your descendants and your name remain.
23;And it shall come to pass
That from one New Moon to another,
And from one Sabbath to another,
All flesh shall come to worship before Me,” says the Lord.
 
I have been trying to get a reply from sabbatarians.

According to traditional Jewish theology, particularly as outlined in the Talmud and by scholars like Maimonides, the Seven Laws of Noah (Noahide Laws) are considered universal moral laws intended for all humanity, whereas the Ten Commandments are specifically part of the Torah covenant given only to the Jewish people. (google)

Do you agree?

If not why not?
What????? Are you assigning me busy work. Be honest, all this academic language and vague inferences. Are you a Jesuit assigned to control the direction of chats on this website?

In the Bible God calls days by their number with the exception of the seventh day which is the Sabbath.
So again I'll ask the question. Do SDA think it better to worship on a day devoted to Saturn than to the Sun? Christians in the NT called Sunday the Lord's day, because that is the day that Lord Jesus rose from the dead. The word Sunday is not found in the NT, even though some translators chose to translate the "first day of the week" thus.

The first day of the week replaced the Sabbath for many believers soon after the resurrection. So the SDA opinion that it was introduced by Catholicism is false. And the idea that Sunday worship will be enforced by the Beast is laughable.
The Catholic church blended pagan and Christian doctrines together to switch the day of worship to the day of the Sun.

Here are some facts about the Sabbath:

Why keep the Sabbath day? What is the object of the Sabbath? Who made it? When was it made, and for whom? Which day is the true Sabbath? Many keep the first day of the week, or Sunday. What Bible authority have they for this? Some keep the seventh day, or Saturday. What Scripture have they for that? Here are the facts about both days, as plainly stated in the Word of God:
  • After working the first six days of the week in creating this earth, the great God rested on the seventh day. (Genesis 2:1.3.)
  • This stamped that day as God’s rest day, or Sabbath day, as Sabbath day means rest day. To illustrate: When a person is born on a certain day, that day thus becomes his birthday. So when God rested upon the seventh day, that day became His rest, or Sabbath, day.
  • Therefore the seventh day must always be God’s Sabbath day. Can you change your birthday from the day on which you were born to one on which you were not born? No. Neither can you change God’s rest day to a day on which He did not rest. Hence the seventh day is still God’s Sabbath day.
  • The Creator blessed the seventh day. (Genesis 2:3.)
  • He sanctified the seventh day. (Exodus 20:11.)
  • He made it the Sabbath day in the Garden of Eden. (Genesis 2:1-3.)
  • It was made before the fall; hence it is not a type; for types were not introduced till after the fall.
  • Jesus says it was made for man (Mark 2:27), that is, for the race, as the word man is here unlimited; hence, for the Gentile as well as for the Jew.
  • It is a memorial of creation. (Exodus 20:11; 31:17.) Every time we rest upon the seventh day, as God did at creation, we commemorate that grand event.
  • It was given to Adam, the head of the human race. (Mark 2:27; Genesis 2:1-3.)
  • Hence through him, as our representative, to all nations. (Acts 17:26.)
  • It is’ not a Jewish institution, for it was made 2,300 years before ever there was a Jew.
  • The Bible never calls it the Jewish Sabbath, but always “the Sabbath of the Lord thy God.” Men should be cautious how they stigmatize God’s holy rest day.
  • Evident reference is made to the Sabbath and the seven-day week all, through the patriarchal age. (Genesis 2:l-3; 8:10,12; 29:27,28.etc.)
  • It was a part of God’s law before Sinai. (Exodus 16:4, 27-29.)
  • Then God placed it in the heart of His moral law. (Exodus 20:1-17.) Why did He place it there if it was not like the other nine precepts, which all admit to be immutable?
  • The seventh-day Sabbath was commanded by the voice of the living God. (Deuteronomy 4:12,13.)
  • Then He wrote the commandment with His own finger. (Exodus 31:18.)
  • He engraved it in the enduring stone, indicating its imperishable nature. (Deuteronomy 5:22.)
  • It was sacredly preserved in the ark in the holy of holies. (Deuteronomy 10:1-5.)
  • God forbade work upon the Sabbath, even in the most hurrying times. (Exodus 34:21.)
  • God destroyed the Israelites in the wilderness because they profaned the Sabbath. (Ezekiel 20:12, 13.)
  • It is the sign of the true God, by which we are to know Him from false gods. (Ezekiel 20:20.)
  • God promised that Jerusalem should stand forever if the Jews would keep the Sabbath (Jeremiah 17:24, 25.)
  • He sent them into the Babylonian captivity for breaking it. (Nehemiah 13:18.)
  • He destroyed Jerusalem for its violation. (Jeremiah 17:27.)
  • God has pronounced a special blessing on all the Gentiles who will keep it. (Isaiah 56:6, 7.)
  • This is in the prophecy, which refers wholly to the Christian dispensation. (See Isaiah 56.)
  • God has promised to bless all who keep the Sabbath. (Isaiah 56:2.)
  • The Lord requires us to call it “honorable”. (Isaiah 58:13.) Beware, ye who take delight in calling it the. “old Jewish Sabbath,” “a yoke of bondage,” etc.
So again I'll ask the question. Do SDA think it better to worship on a day devoted to Saturn than to the Sun? Christians in the NT called Sunday the Lord's day, because that is the day that Lord Jesus rose from the dead. The word Sunday is not found in the NT, even though some translators chose to translate the "first day of the week" thus.

The first day of the week replaced the Sabbath for many believers soon after the resurrection. So the SDA opinion that it was introduced by Catholicism is false. And the idea that Sunday worship will be enforced by the Beast is laughable. The mark of the Beast is physical. It determines whether or not people can engage in commerce.

Almost every justification for SDA false doctrine relies on the OT. And then SDA ignores the NT teachings that contradict SDA doctrines. Congratulations. That's how you form divisive cults. SDA condemns Catholicism, yet SDA is just as dead and hidebound as those that they condemn.

You missed the whole point- this is what man named those days. Sunday is a Pagan name- not Godly.

GOD- the God who created heaven and earth Exo20:11 only named one day in the entire Bible, the Sabbath day and made it interchangeable with the seventh day and called it the holy day of the LORD thy GOD. Exo20:10-11 Isa58:13. There is no other just a deceitful counterfeit as we were warned Dan7:25. God only Blessed and Sanctified one day for holy use.

good job on copying and pasting your SDA Milton Wilcox facts sheet. The problem with your facts sheet is it completely ignores the New Testament. It ignores the fact that not once in scripture has any gentile outside of those joining Israel been commanded to keep the Sabbath. It ignores the fact no one was commanded to keep the sabbath up until exodus. It cherry picks and makes an attempt to overwhelm a person with old testament verses to push a covenant that is no longer. And apparently it worked on you. It ignores the following verses:

““Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah, not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, my covenant that they broke, though I was their husband, declares the Lord.”
‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭31‬:‭31‬-‭32‬ ‭ESV‬‬

“Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink, or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath. These are a shadow of the things to come, but the substance belongs to Christ.
‭‭Colossians‬ ‭2‬:‭16‬-‭17‬ ‭ESV‬‬

For it has seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us to lay on you no greater burden than these requirements: that you abstain from what has been sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from what has been strangled, and from sexual immorality. If you keep yourselves from these, you will do well. Farewell.””
‭‭Acts‬ ‭15‬:‭28‬-‭29‬ ‭ESV‬‬

“Now if the ministry of death, carved in letters on stone, came with such glory that the Israelites could not gaze at Moses’ face because of its glory, which was being brought to an end,
‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭3‬:‭7‬ ‭ESV‬‬

“these I will bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer; their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be accepted on my altar; for my house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples.””
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭56‬:‭7‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Not in the holy word of God- outside yes- what God warned about Isa8:20NKJV
I am foreordained, predestined, called, justified and glorified. I was born again almost exactly 54 years ago. I am baptised in water and with the Holy Spirit. I am born again of the imperishable seed and I know God and Jesus - the definition of eternal life. I am washed in the blood of the Lamb. I thank God who always gives me the victory through my Lord Jesus.

My sins are forgiven and I have peace with God. I am a new creation in Christ Jesus. I died to the Law and now I live to Christ. I live now by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. I live by a new Law, the Law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus.

Not once in my 54 years as a believer has God called me to worship Him on Saturn's day. SDA theology is based on scripture and the false prophecies of Ellen G White. SDA introduced divisive doctrines, which is an abomination to God because it sows discord.

What God blessed and sanctified Exo20:11 Isa56:1-2 that man can't do is an abomination to man? Doing what God deems as righteousness and justice Isa56:1-2 the foundation of His throne Psa89:14 an abomination to God? God's works Exo32:16 an abomination to God? What God made for man is an abomination to man Mark2:27-28

God said profaning the Sabbath is doing evil Neh13:17 Isa56:2 and keeping the Sabbath is holy and blessed and what is righteousness Isa56:2

Isa 5:20Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

That was from Review & Herald 1853, the author is anomyous but it has been in continuous publication. I believe that the major point of conflict here is that no one wants to combine the message from the Old Testament and the New Testament to arrive at a correct understanding of the doctrine.

The text was split into three parts, if you will read all three you will realize that it i written from a New Testament perspective.

Regardless of who originally wrote it, it was compiled and edited by Wilcox. That is completely useless information. The fact is it ignores many verses. The problem is your doctrine of cherry-picking verses to keep yourself under a covenant that no longer exists.

Why not? You use isa 66:23 to say we are to keep the sabbath while new moons are mentioned in the same breath. As I said, you are cherry picking to only accept what is convenient to your life.

The seven laws of Noah omit the sabbath.

The ten commandments were given to Israel only.

Your claiming the ten commandments are eternal and universal.

The seven laws of Noah given to the Gentiles are not the ten commandments.

Which means that the ten commandments are not eternal nor universal!!!!

The seven laws of Noah given to the Gentiles are not the ten commandments.

Which means that the ten commandments are not eternal nor universal!!!!

Do you agree?
No
 
Idk but, waving around your works is like unto waving around your filthy rags, and then wondering at the reaction.

The Ten Commandments is the work of God Exo32:16 that He said those who love Him keep His commandments Exo20:6 and all of His commandments are righteousness Psa119:172 including the Sabbath isa56:1-2 so I would be careful what you are calling fifthly rags. According to Scripture fifthly rags is depending on our righteousness - our version of right and wrong instead of God's Psa119:172 Isa56:1-2. So what you stated is the exact opposite of what the Scripture states.

1 John2:4 He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

You totally missed the scripture that informs of your righteousness.
That is, even while following the commandment to not murder, you've failed!
