Are you OK? I mean, can you understand what I am typing?
Let me try again.
The Sabbath is not a creation of SDA. It is mentioned 147 times in the KJV, 55 times in the New Testament alone, long before Ellen White was even born. You claim it isn't about White, then you single out her theology. I have been faithful to the God of the Bible regarding HIS 10 Commandments, including HIS Sabbath that JESUS, not Ellen White, said was made for man for almost 30 years. I have not set foot in an SDA establishment ever. I don't believe in temples made with wood and stone, or the preachers who exalt themselves to the Chief seats therein.
Why are you so obsessed with her? It is the Christ who is Lord of the Sabbath Days, not Ellen White.
Of course religions of the world despise and pollute God's Laws and Sabbaths. Have you read the examples God had written for our admonition? How can a person study as directed and not see the importance of God's Sabbath to HIM, and for us?
But God's word doesn't return void so I will continue to let HIM speak for Himself.
Rev. 13:
6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
Since the change or abolition of the Christ's Sabbath is not Prophesied anywhere, even once, in the entire Bible, I have to go outside the Bible to find it's origins. You can look into the historical supports given here to double check these references, so as to see for yourself. Surely this is the beginning of the prophesied "war" against those Saints.
Rev. 14:
12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
"When Emperor Constantine I—a pagan sun-worshipper—came to power in A.D. 313, he legalized Christianity and made the first Sunday-keeping law. His infamous Sunday enforcement law of March 7, A.D. 321, reads as follows: “On the venerable Day of the Sun let the magistrates and people residing in cities rest, and let all workshops be closed.” (
Codex Justinianus 3.12.3, trans. Philip Schaff,
History of the Christian Church, 5th ed. (New York, 1902), 3:380, note 1.)"
You will find Constantine murdered anyone who was faithful to the Feast's of Christ that HIS First church gathered in. In other words, if Constantine would have been in power in Jerusalem when Peter and the Apostles gathered on Pentecost, Constantine would have murdered them, and he would have murdered Paul and Jesus as well. He slaughtered a lot of folks, but only those who walked even as HE Walked.
This is the founder of the religious philosophy you are promoting.
"The Sunday law was officially confirmed by the Roman Papacy. The Council of Laodicea in A.D. 364 decreed, “Christians shall not Judaize and be idle on Saturday but shall work on that day; but the Lord’s day they shall especially honour, and, as being Christians, shall, if possible, do no work on that day. If, however, they are found Judaizing, they shall be shut out from Christ” (Strand,
op. cit., citing Charles J. Hefele,
A History of the Councils of the Church, 2 [Edinburgh, 1876] 316)."
"Cardinal Gibbons, in
Faith of Our Fathers, 92nd ed., p. 89, freely admits, “You may read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation,
and you will not find a single line authorizing the sanctification of Sunday. The Scriptures enforce the religious observance of Saturday, a day which we [the Catholic Church] never sanctify.”
Again, “The Catholic Church, … by virtue of her divine mission, changed the day from Saturday to Sunday” (
The Catholic Mirror, official publication of James Cardinal Gibbons, Sept. 23, 1893).
“Protestants do not realize that by observing Sunday, they accept the authority of the spokesperson of the Church, the Pope” (
Our Sunday Visitor, February 5, 1950).
“Of course the Catholic Church claims that the change [Saturday Sabbath to Sunday] was her act...
And the act is a mark of her ecclesiastical authority in religious things” (H.F. Thomas, Chancellor of Cardinal Gibbons).
"The Catholic Church claims that “the church is above the Bible, and this transference of Sabbath observance is proof of that fact” (Catholic Record of London, Ontario Sept 1, 1923)."
SDA, in spite of many of their religious traditions contrary to scriptures, are right about the Sabbath of the Christ. Not their observation so much, but certainly the Scriptures they use to support the "Way". I don't prescribe to the Catholic religion as I am not Catholic, just as I don't prescribe to the SDA because I am not of that religion either.
My Faith lies in the Christ of the Bible, and HIS Words. I know religious men have been polluting God's Sabbaths since the beginning, why would I want to take my instruction in righteousness from them, especially since I have HIS Word in my own home.
So as I said before, modern religions, in my view, are just an extension of the parts of the Levitical Priesthood that preserves religious power. They are about power and money and philosophies which promote religions. If a man follows the teaching of the Christ there would be no temples of wood and stone, HIS Temple is in our minds. Where two or more are gathered in His Name. We worship God in Spirit and Truth. He was killed for promoting this "Way of the Lord" which put an end to power of the Levite Priest and Pharisees who rode on their coat tails.
In my view, these religions are the "other " voice in the garden. This is why the Lord's Christ tells us to "come out from among them and be ye separate.
It's not about SDA for me, SDA has nothing to do with my beliefs. It is 100% about the Word's of the Christ which are Spirit and Truth.
