No one has rewritten God’s commandment.
The RCC itself "Claims" to have re-written the commandment through the Authority they claim was given to them by the Lord's Christ, to change God's Sabbath as was defined in the Holy Scriptures as being the 7th Day of the week, Saturday as described at creation which the Commandment of God Himself referenced, to the first day of the week, Sunday, the Catholic sabbath.
This is the issue EGW had as defined in the very website you posted. EGW didn't teach that men who worshipped God on Sunday were of the devil. Your post taught that, but EGW didn't.
It was never about what days of the week to worship God, as EGW, Wesley, Calvin, and all reformers promoted worship of God every day of the week. I was always about God's sabbath VS, the RCC Sabbath, 7th day vs. 1st day.
If you can find in the website you posted where EGW says worshipping God on Sunday makes a man receive the mark of the beast, please show me. I know Jesus obeyed God's commandments, and worshipped God every day, even Sunday. I find no evidence that EGW taught Jesus was of the devil, for worshipping God on Sunday. But I could be wrong, so if you can find such a teaching, please provide it.
And if you can't, then shouldn't you clarify your teaching here?
1.Gods (Ten Commandments including the) 4th commandment was given (BY GOD) to Israel during Moses time (15th century BCE) and (God Inspired) Moses wrote to write the 5 books of the Torah which includes the 10 commandments.
They also include God's Laws given to Moses in Lev, 19
17 Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbour, and not suffer sin upon him. 18 Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the LORD.
2. The law was given to Israel and to those that dwelled with them. The law was never given to the gentiles or to the church.
That is what the RCC taught, and many reformers adopted many of her philosophies. But there are some who believe we should obey God, like Jesus and Peter and James and Paul and Moses and Abraham and David and Zacharias and Simeon and Shadrack and Danial, and actually EVERY EXAMPLE of Faithful men given us from Abel to the Cornelius.
According to what is actually written in the Word of God who became Flesh, God has One Law:
Ex. 12:
49 One law shall be to him that is homeborn, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you.
Eph. 4:
4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; 5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
God's Church has always been, and will always be those who "Yield themselves" servants to obey Him, Jew or Gentile as Paul teaches. In fact, John actually tells me how to know if I am in His Church, or just some random religion who calls Jesus Lord, Lord.
1 John 2:
3 And hereby we do know that we know him, "if we keep" his commandments.
The teaching that God's Law is always for someone else, is a popular deception promoted by preachers "who profess to know God", since the garden of Eden. I was also placed in a world in which these same voices, promoting the same disobedience exists. And Jesus Specifical warned about these "Many", who come in His Name.
I advocate therefore, that men "Take heed" they are not deceived by such a philosophy as Eve was, even if the voices promoting it "Comes on Christ's Name".
3. The gentiles were never under the law (Acts 15).
I have heard this preaching before, but when I actually read what is actually written, I find that it isn't true.
Acts 15:
19 Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from among the Gentiles are turned to God:
20 But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, (Law of Moses) and from fornication, (Law of Moses) and
from things strangled,
(Law of Moses) and
from blood.
(Law of Moses)
21 For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath day.
This is the same exact teaching that Jesus Himself, taught the multitude and His Disciples in Matt. 23.
Matt. 23:
1 Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples, 2 Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat: 3 All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.
It makes perfect sense that the Apostles would direct the Gentiles to follow the exact same teaching Jesus instructed, before HE was murdered. Alas, "many" who call Jesus Lord, Lord, don't want to listen to Moses or the Prophets God sent, even though Jesus Himself and His Chosen Apostles directed them to. Jesus also spoke to this, which sheds light on why folks don't believe Jesus in this matter.
Luke 16:
31 And he said unto him, If they "hear not" Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though "one" rose from the dead.
4. No one kept the 4th commandment prior to Moses. There is no record in scripture.
There is no record of anyone Loving the Lord their God with all their soul and all their might either. There is no record of anyone Loving their neighbor as they Loved themselves. But it would be stupid to claim God didn't have ANY Laws simply because there is no record of Him giving them. When did God give Noah His Laws concerning what animals are clean for food and what animals are not? And yet Noah knew God's Laws concerning His Judgments concerning Clean and unclean animals.
When did God give Noah's sons His Law concerning "looking on the nakedness of their father"? Yet they all knew the Law, even though one of the sons rejected it.
When did God give His Laws that Sodom broke, or His adultery Commandment that Amalek most certainly new about, along with the wages of breaking this Commandment of God? And yet Amalek knew of God and His Commandment against adultery, even though God didn't inspire Moses to write about His Laws, Statutes and Commandments until later.
Which shows clearly that we are not privy to the entire conversation God had with Abraham or Noah when God gave to them
His commandments, His statutes, and His laws.
Consider the foolishness of the philosophy that promotes that God sanctified and Set apart and made Holy, the 7th Day of the Week, but didn't share or even mention this part of His Creation to Noah and Abraham. To preach that Abraham saw Jesus Day, but God didn't show Him the Sabbath HE was Lord of, that seems pretty foolish based on limited information we have.
And why would a person even exalt himself in such a way as to make all these assumptions about God? Isn't it because he doesn't like some of God's Commandments, and is working
to justify his rejection of them?
That is why. If you were honest you would admit it, just as I did all these years ago when I looked into the Law of Liberty and saw what manner of man I was, and my motivation for making the same foolish claims.
Maybe you will not be persuaded to consider, but for those reading along, can you not see the point?
