On these areas of the discussion board it may "seem like" there is no agreement on anything.
But as it turns out there are a number of points that BOTH the pro-Bible-7th-day-Sabbath and the pro-Sunday scholars DO agree on!
Here is an example of claims made by the pro-Sunday sources - and 6 of the 7 are actually correct according to the Bible!.
Yes that is right - 6 of the 7 are actually common ground between Sabbath keeping and Sunday keeping Christians.
1. That the Sabbath Commandment is first given to mankind in Gen 2:1-3
2. That all mankind was obligated by the TEN commandments in the OT and to this very day.
3. That the seventh day as the Sabbath was Saturday the seventh day of the week from Gen 2:1-3 until NT times - including at the cross.
4. That the Ten Commandments are the moral Law of God
5. That the moral law of God is written on the heart under the New Covenant
6. that the Ten Commandments as the moral law of God are in no way opposed to grace and the Gospel.
7. That the Sabbath commandment can rightly be BENT by man-made-tradition to point to week-day-1 after the cross.
I agree with 6 out of 7 as listed above - (Obviously I don't agree to point 7)
So then of the SIX points where BOTH sides admit to the Bible details - we have a result that confirms there is such a thing as "obvious Bible details that BOTH sides admit to".
And frankly at that point we conclude "it just does not GET any easier than that!".
Everyone has free will and can object to whatever they wish - but it is nice to find that in a world of 'differences' some Bible details are so obvious BOTH sides admit to them.
Nice!
An example where Charles Stanley seems to hold out a similar view as the Baptist Confession of Faith -- section 19 and 20
