The Jews wanted to kill Jesus for working on the seventh day, but Jesus told them his father was working all along. John 5:8-15
As far as I know Seventh Day Adventists do not circumcise boys like the Jews and Muslims circumcise. Adventists ignore other commandments
That idea about circumcision was never commanded in OT or NT for gentiles and Acts 15 also agrees. How is this a surprise?
Also John 5 is long before the cross - so even by the most extreme policy of deleting commandments in the NT - it would not be a statement about the Sabbath deleted in John 5. In fact in John 5 Jesus does not say "the Father has only started work today" rather it has always been true - and the Sabbath was always in effect to that point in time. The Father's work did not cancel the 4th commandment at Sinai or to this very day.
for God desired mercy and not their sacrificial offerings. I attended SDA Sabbath School in the 1980’s. They could not celebrate eating lamb for Passover as many of them are vegan or vegetarian.
1. The Adventist denomination has not ever celebrated the feast days as a denominational norm or practice. But we allow the Romans 14 principle that it is up to each individual if they choose to do it.
2. The Adventist denomination does have a doctrine about not eating unclean meat - and lamb is not an unclean meat. Individual members could choose to celebrate Passover if they wish. We also do not have a doctrine saying it is sin to eat clean meat. The church does teach that a vegetarian diet is better for your health.
