You do realize that every person in this forum is Adventist and believes we should keep the Sabbath commandment, right?

Well, I dont need to...you are claiming that the sabbath was not a feast day...the text clearly says they are. And if you would understand the different covenants you would understand the Sabbath pointed to and is fulfilled in Christ who fullfilled the whole law.

Really? There are those here who would say that not everyone here is a true adventist, much less an adventist... Not saying that you have said that T&O, I am just saying that there are those here who have that opinion...You do realize that every person in this forum is Adventist and believes we should keep the Sabbath commandment, right?

Of course T&O all seventh day adventists believe in observing the sabbath day... why would you think that they would not? I am sorry for addressing you, let me know when its okay to direct any comment towards you....Here's what's interesting...someone just came into an Adventist forum and stated we don't have to keep the Sabbath commandment...but your comments are geared toward me?
Do Progressive Adventists keep the Sabbath commandment? If so, why is it more important to overlook comments like those and to continue a fight you don't even have with me?
Who is the true enemy here Stormy? Me?
I agree that a line has been drawn, but you do more than your fair share of making sure that line stays exactly where it is.
Do Progressive Adventists believe we should keep the Sabbath commandment of God?

Enemies on the forum? Surely you jest...
seventh day adventists.... not all adventists are seventh day adventsts... and who said your comment was more or less important than someone else's?That's what I thought. So how was my comment to him that Adventists keep the Sabbath commandment more important than his comment that NO ONE should keep that commandment? Especially since what I said was TRUE....Adventists DO keep the Sabbath commandment.
seventh day adventists.... not all adventists are seventh day adventsts... and who said your comment was more or less important than someone else's?
because I found your comment more interesting does not mean I felt it was more important than any other comment made in this forum... I read it, thought of something and replied... that is allowed last time I checked the rules... AT's comments were also read, I was not compelled to reply to his, so I didn't...So what is your comment about? You originally said not everyone considers some of the posters on here to be Adventists, but now you're saying not all Adventists are Seventh-day Adventists.
So let me clarify: This is a Seventh-day Adventist subforum.
Seventh-day Adventists keep the 4th commandment of God to obey His holy day.
You gave my comment more importance than "Adventtruth"'s when you overlooked what he said to specifically quote me and find fault in what *I* said.
You don't see any fault in his comment that the Sabbath was fulfilled and we don't have to keep it anymore?
THAT doesn't need defending but you think past comments do? What? I'm just not sure where you're coming from with this one.

As for your not understanding where I am coming from, it hasn't been the first time, and I am sure it won't be the last...
I am not engaged in any rivalries here, I do on occasion interact with people here, ideas are exchanged and we move on.... While I do not feel the need to "defend" who I am to those who are not adventist, I refuse to allow those who are adventist to suggest that I am not one...Your rivalry with certain people on here does appear to be more important than defending why you're a Seventh-day Adventist to begin with.
And the reason I don't understand where you're coming from is because you don't always take the time to explain what you say. You talk in circles sometimes Stormy.
I can't read minds or hearts, so it'd be easier if people just SAID what they mean instead of trying to make people guess....because that leads to the inevitable "oh so you think you know what I'm thinking now?"
But the Sabbath nay-sayers will counter with the argument that Sunday was already the established day of worship for Christians long before Constantine, and that he only made into law what was already in effect.
Of course, the sources I have seen them use for proof of this, are Catholic historian sources. Hmmmmm...
On one point I do agree with the Sabbath critics however: Christ is our True Sabbath Rest, amen. However, I do not see this as Him fulfilling the shadow and obliterating the Sabbath commandment. It all goes back to whether you regard the laws fulfilled and nailed to the cross as the whole, compete Torah law, or just the ceremonial.
The nay-sayers will, of course, claim that the Sabbath is a ceremonial law given only for Israel.
Great post!The reason that I do not engage in exhaustive Sabbath apologetics here, is because it has been done in the past, many times, by people better and much more qualified than I.
Sam Bacchiocchi's book from Sabbath To Sunday is a case in point. There is nothing I can say that the good doctor hasn't already dealt with exhaustively and extensively in this book:
http://www.biblicalperspectives.com...id=31&osCsid=2cf7af50ba734570923a9982ce10f61c
I have never read or heard anyone refute Bachiocchi's research on the Sabbath issue properly. No one. Not even Dale Ratzlaff and his book Sabbath In Crisis, which I have in my library.
Actually, I have a lot of anti-Adventist/EGW books in my library, including Walter Rea's White Lie (for research purposes.)
The Sabbath truth is as plain as the nose on my face to me. I have heard all the arguments against it and, frankly, I just never saw it. Some formers obviously did, but I couldn't.
It seems no matter how much you try to show that the Sabbath was very much kept in the New Testament, there is always a counter-argument for every argument.
If you say that Paul preached in the synagogue on the Sabbath, they will respond that he was only doing so to reach the Jews, and that is where and when he had to go to do this.
So, it is a stalemate if you ask me.
Walter Veith clearly shows how, at the council of Trent, the Reformation failed to the Counter-Reformation on one point: The Sabbath.
But the Sabbath nay-sayers will tell you that such a thing never took place at the Council Of Trent.
We have always believed that Emperor Constantine changed the day of worship from Saturday to Sunday to accomodate the pagans who were flooding into the church.
But the Sabbath nay-sayers will counter with the argument that Sunday was already the established day of worship for Christians long before Constantine, and that he only made into law what was already in effect.
Of course, the sources I have seen them use for proof of this, are Catholic historian sources. Hmmmmm...
I could go on with every argument and counter-argument. You get the point.
I just don't see it as an effective use of my time Trust.

You just cannot win either way it seems.
I am surprised it is not referenced in Sam B's book, if it is not then it is a major deficit.
Can you identify that there even is such a thing as a moral and ceremonial differentiation of the Law? You won't find the Jews doing that.

Advent,
I'm curious as to how you think that Christ fulfilled the Sabbath as in fulfilled it to complete it so that it does not need to be kept anymore? You know like He did on the Cross to make an end to sacrifices.
The Sabbath is about a time that God set aside for us to spend time with Him developing our relationship with Him. Something that we will spend an eternity doing.
So you're not Adventist anymore Adventtruth?
