BobRyan said:Your use and meaning of this departs from the context of Moody.
As usual - you make the wild accusation and then follow with no facts, no evidence, not shred of support -- the accusation alone appears to satisfy your method and tactic.
By contrast here is what Moody actually said showing all 7 points mentioned. #722
Here is a great example of that 7 point list coming up in D.L.Moody's sermon on the TEN Commandments -

Case in point -- Here is what D.L. Moody actually said --
Here is an example of one of the "bend the commandment" but do not get rid of it - arguments.
=============================== D.L. Moody sermon on the TEN Commandments
Remember the Sabbath Day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD 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: for in six days the LORD made heaven and Earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath Day, and hallowed it.
[FONT="]THERE HAS BEEN an awful letting-down in this country regarding the Sabbath during the last twenty-five years, and many a man has been shorn of spiritual power, like Samson, because he is not straight on this question. Can you say that you observe the Sabbath properly? You may be a professed Christian: are you obeying this commandment? Or do you neglect the house of God on the Sabbath day, and spend your time drinking and carousing in places of vice and crime, showing contempt for God and His law? Are you ready to step into the scales? Where were you last Sabbath? How did you spend it?
I honestly believe that this commandment is just as binding today as it ever was. I have talked with men who have said that it has been abrogated, but they have never been able to point to any place in the Bible where God repealed it. When Christ was on earth, He did nothing to set it aside; He freed it from the traces under which the scribes and Pharisees had put it, and gave it its true place. [/FONT]
[FONT="]"The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath." (Mark 2:27) [/FONT]
[FONT="]It is just as practicable and as necessary for men today as it ever was[/FONT][FONT="]- in fact, more than ever, because we live in such an intense age.
The Sabbath was binding in Eden, and it has been in force ever since. The fourth commandment begins with the word remember, showing that the Sabbath already existed when God wrote this law on the tables of stone at Sinai. How can men claim that this one commandment has been done away with when they will admit that the other nine are still binding?
I believe that the Sabbath question today is a vital one for the whole country. It is the burning question of the present time. If you give up the Sabbath the church goes; if you give up the church the home goes; and if the home goes the nation goes. That is the direction in which we are traveling.
The church of God is losing its power on account of so many people giving up the Sabbath, and using it to promote selfishness. [/FONT]
[FONT="]"Sabbath" means "rest," and the meaning of the word gives a hint as to the true way to observe the day. God rested after creation, and ordained the Sabbath as a rest for man. He blessed it and hallowed it. Remember the rest-day to keep it holy.[/FONT][FONT="]

Your post presents all the facts needed,
Indeed - it is called a verbatim quote.
Sadly that leaves you with a factless accusation.
Your only response is to whine that evidence is provided instead of just letting your fact-challenged accusation sit by itself as if the "mere accusation alone" is sufficient to establish your fiction as fact.
Who goes for that??? (you make it appear that "you do" but I doubt that even you would go for it.)
in Christ,
Bob
