Hypothetical Question

[EastCoastRemnant]

Focus on the questions I presented:

• I had asked for your support for a 3rd covenant that is going to be made with a people that will never exist.
• I believe I had also asked how a Sunday law is able to violate a sabbath ordinance that doesn't even exist in the Christian dispensation.

Nothing you wrote above addressed either of these in the slightest. You merely claim that Ellen White's writings were inspired, and that matches her own claim of inspiration.

God is either teaching His church, reproving their wrongs and strengthening their faith, or He is not. This work is of God, or it is not. God does nothing in partnership with Satan. My work . . . bears the stamp of God or the stamp of the enemy. There is no halfway work in the matter. The Testimonies are of the Spirit of God, or of the devil. [VOL. 4, P. 230.] {5T 671.2}
​

When Biblical support for the model Ellen White posited can't be found, it then becomes necessary to consider Ellen's own admission that her writings were inspired by the devil.

This is another logical fallacy, argumentum ad hominem, or an attack on the person presenting an argument rather than responding to the argument itself.

I'm a literal six-day creationist at the core, and I have appealed to the creation account several times in my posts to demonstrate the origin of God's "My rest" that preceded the sabbath's origin by about 2500 years. Hebrews 4:4 quotes from Genesis 2:2 to show God's rest as a promise that remained to be attained by those who had the sabbath the previous 1500 years. What you call present truth is from a source that doesn't acknowledge the Scriptures as the truth, and your posts reflect that background modus operandi. It is really not conducive to discussion when you can't answer direct questions and defer to personal attacks.

I'll pray for you Victor... you seem to have some deep hate/resentment for Ellen White and what she wrote.

What is the impact of a belief in a future "national Sunday law" on the persons who hold it? How does it impact their eternal security? How does it impact their view of non-sabbatarians?

Cool we're playing arm chair psychology now...

Can I play?...

How does asking rhetorical questions further your stated purpose of unity among the brethren.

Shucks, it was Ellen who claimed inspiration from the devil, and you won't even listen to her own testimony!

If her disposition were up to me, I would have concluded Ellen White's writings to be the product of a fertile imagination mixed with resentment for experiencing forced ejection from the Methodist church her family were members of and ignorance of the Biblical Gospel. However, Ellen White did not leave that option open for us. She insisted that you compare her writings with Scripture and make a determination that her inspiration was from either God or the devil - no middle ground was offered as an option. All I have done is complied with Ellen's wishes, something you apparently aren't willing to do.

And as I wrote before, it is really not conducive to discussion when you can't answer direct questions and defer to personal attacks. Throughout this thread you have not responded to any inquiries regarding the premise a Sunday law relies on, and nothing objective for your "faith" in a coming Sunday law.

Sure. All are welcome. I'd be interested your thoughts on the impact of "the national Sunday" law on the person who is concerned about it. Feel free to share your insights.

Open and honest, respectful dialogue is perhaps one of the better ways to get there. BTW, I don't define "unity" as "without disagreement."
