You are missing everything...
There were no burnt sacrifices done on the seventh day Sabbath. The verse you qouted in Numbers 28 is not the seventh day Sabbath, but rather, one of the many sabbaths and drink offerings that had to do with sin, which were a shadow of the life and work of Christ.
I miss many details contained in the law, just because there is so much detail there. The more I become familiar with it, the more I find the need to flee from its clutches and trust in my Redeemer. Apparently you have not reached that same point, as you believe that you're going to comply with Israel's covenant that none of Israel ever did.
I find that when you reply, you do so without reading the passages that are involved, and you miss context often in the assertions you postulate. Many times that missing context negates the point you're trying to convey, and this is the case once again with this citation.
Numbers 28:1-10
1: And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2: Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, My offering, and my bread for my sacrifices made by fire, for a sweet savour unto me, shall ye observe to offer unto me in their due season.
3: And thou shalt say unto them, This is the offering made by fire which ye shall offer unto the LORD; two lambs of the first year without spot
day by day, for a
continual burnt offering.
4: The one lamb shalt thou offer in the
morning, and the other lamb shalt thou offer at
even;
5: And a tenth part of an ephah of flour for a meat offering, mingled with the fourth part of an hin of beaten oil.
6: It is a
continual burnt offering, which was ordained in mount Sinai for a sweet savour, a sacrifice made by fire unto the LORD.
7: And the drink offering thereof shall be the fourth part of an hin for the one lamb: in the holy place shalt thou cause the strong wine to be poured unto the LORD for a drink offering.
8: And the other lamb shalt thou offer at even: as the meat offering of the morning, and as the drink offering thereof, thou shalt offer it, a sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
9: And on the sabbath day two lambs of the first year without spot, and two tenth deals of flour for a meat offering, mingled with oil, and the drink offering thereof:
10: This is the burnt offering of
every sabbath, beside the
continual burnt offering, and his drink offering.
The burnt offerings that are made
every sabbath day are contained in the passage governing the twice-daily oblations. These offerings are made
every single day of the year. Not only are these offerings inclusive of the seventh-day sabbath, but any and all other sabbaths as well.
The seventh day is different from all the other sabbaths mentioned in the Old Testament. As a matter of fact, you weren't allowed to light a fire on the seventh day Sabbath, which would eliminate any burnt offerings being done.
Exodus 35:1-3 Then Moses gathered all the congregation of the children of Israel together, and said to them, "These are the words which the Lord has commanded you to do: "Work shall be done for six days, but the seventh day shall be a holy day for you, a Sabbath of rest to the Lord. Whoever does any work on it shall be put to death. "You shall kindle no fire throughout your dwellings on the Sabbath day.''
If I miss details, I find you missing words staring at you in the face.
The oblations don't contradict the prohibition against lighting a fire
in your house. However, you have profaned the sabbath if you were to light a fire in your furnace or on your stove. You had better push your car out of the garage before you dare light a fire in any of the engine's cylinders, as well.
Rememeber, God calls us to love Him and love our neighbor. The Ten Commandments teach us how to do what pleases God and neighbor. The first four teach us how to love, please and worship God and the last six teach us how to love our neighbor.
As the Pharisees once noted, "
this people who knoweth not the law are cursed" (
John 7:49). God didn't call "us" as Gentiles to observe Israel's covenant, that Moses testified was unique to them (
Deuteronomy 4:7-8) and wasn't even possessed by the generation previous to him (
Deuteronomy 5:2-3). What you're saying here is that the Gentiles don't know how to love God.
Suffice to say, I frankly don't believe you. The law isn't a mere guide for good living, and God knew this as He gave Ezekiel another source of instruction prophesied in
Ezekiel 36:27.
The council at Jerusalem considered the very position you posit, that the Gentiles should become observant of the law of Moses, which is reference to Israel's covenant made at Sinai (
Deuteronomy 5). Peter stood up and proclaimed these words in
Acts 15:7-11:
7: And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.
8: And
God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us;
9: And
put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.
10: Now
therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
11: But
we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they.
Peter already knew that Israel didn't comply with the law, and I have already quoted passages from Paul that assert the same thing. Peter saw that God didn't use a litmus test of the law on the Gentiles, who had never had the law. Ergo, God has accepted them, and why should we now crush them with a legal package we couldn't comply with? God doesn't care about the law, having taken it away (
Hebrews 10:9), so why should we?
You are following those zealous of the law against Peter's conclusion, and the conclusion of the council.
I think you're missing the truth in fear that you might be accepting what Ellen White may have said. In other words, you've missed the forest in fear of the trees.
That particular forest has 613 trees in it, any of which can crush you and condemn you, and you ignore them at your own peril (which you do):
Galatians 3:10
For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in
all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.
Galatians 5:3-5
3: For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that
he is a debtor to do the whole law.
4:
Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.
5: For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.
James 2:10
For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and
yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
Romans 3:19
Now we know that what things soever the law saith,
it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become
guilty before God.
Let me give you the bottom line: Keeping a part of the law is meaningless unless you comply with
all things contained in the book of the law.
Many generations have tried before, and have failed.
You don't stand a chance, and frankly, the conclusion of being under the law is that it still leaves you guilty before God.
This is why the Gospel seems so foreign to you who hope you can keep the law.
John 1:17
For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
Now as far as the vomit bag, don't fill it up because if I ever read Desire of Ages, which I don't see that happening, I may need it too.
I am in the same boat with you when I comes to EGW. I think the exaltation of EGW by the SDA has caused a bitterness in the mouths of people. We should just look at her as just another person trying to understand God and if she ever comes up with something of her own
that can be found in the Bible let us receive it in the same way we would if anyone else spoke it.
Apparently you aren't familiar with the authority Adventism ascribes to Ellen White.
Ellen muttered error after error while affixing the endorsement of "I saw" and/or "my accompanying angel told/showed me" or "Jesus showed me" verbiage, a claim to divine inspiration.
Error isn't from God, and when Ellen's "I saw" statements are found to be in error, then we have this rule given in
Deuteronomy 18:22:
When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.
Ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law?
You shall not believe or follow a false prophet.
