Does SDA teach that "The Lords Day" that John references in Revelation 1:10 is the "Saturday Sabbath" that was established in the old covenant?
Revelation 1:10
"I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet."

My understanding is that the Sabbath is Saturday and the Lord's Day is Sunday.
I agree. Your view is unusual for an Adventist, though.
Yes they unabashedly do. And no I'm not one. I just deal with them a lot.Does SDA teach that "The Lords Day" that John references in Revelation 1:10 is the "Saturday Sabbath" that was established in the old covenant?

Not only do they keep Saturday, but allot of them believe keeping Sunday is quite literally "the mark of the beast."
The SDA are an absolutely fascinating Church the Lord seems to have blessed them with much spiritual discernment. I recommend viewing pretty much anything by Walter Veith a pastor with the SDA.
I think I remember discovering evidence that Christians were keeping Saturday up to the 5th century. Those that continued after this period were killed for keeping it. I'll try and dig up the info.
Whilst I personally subscribe to most of the SDA belief system I'm not totally convinced about the mark of the beast.
To me that mark seems to have commercial connotions and they don't fit the 666 thing into their explanation very well.
However if you ever see a world wide law enforcing Sunday worship I'd start keeping Saturday tbh.
Every wondered why Sunday though? Of course the explanation given is this is the day Christ rose from the grave which is nice. However it's Sun - day - The day of the Sun - interesting to those that know how occultism has penetrated our faith. Who are we praying to when we pray on a Sun - day?

While this doesn't make Sunday the Sabbath, if you believe the Sabbath was given only to the nation of Israel as a sign (Exodus 31), it makes sense to gather on Sunday as compared to any other day.
I think another reason Christians gathered on Sunday was to differentiate themselves from the Jews, who were being persecuted. (It didn't work as Christians were persecuted, too.)
Yep.. there was a very tough law.. which definitely made it hard to continue being associated with Jews in faith.Every time the day is mentioned Jesus appeared to His followers post-cross (7 times!) it is the first day of the week, and Pentecost happened on the first day of the week.
