What is Sabbatarianism? Historical use of term

[BobRyan]

from wikipedia - Sabbatarianism - Wikipedia

Sabbatarianism advocates the observation of the Sabbath in Christianity, in keeping with the Ten Commandments.[1] The observance of Sunday as a day of worship and rest is a form of first-day Sabbatarianism, a view which was historically heralded by nonconformist denominations, such as Congregationalists, Presbyterians, Methodists, and Baptists, as well as many Episcopalians.

Among Sunday Sabbatarians, observance of the Lord's Day often takes the form of attending the Sunday morning service of worship, receiving catechesis through Sunday School, performing acts of mercy, and attending the Sunday evening service of worship, as well as refraining from servile work, playing sports, viewing the television, shopping and dining at restaurants.[6][7][8] The impact of first-day Sabbatarianism on Western culture is manifested by practices such as Sunday blue laws.

God's Word "the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD" (YHWH)

Still it is interesting to see how they all were making the point in my signature line


================

I am glad these groups all affirm all TEN of the Ten Commandments for Christians.

The Baptist Confession of Faith,
the Westminster Confession of Faith ,
D.L. Moody,
R.C Sproul,
Matthew Henry,
Thomas Watson
Eastern Orthodox Catechism
The Catholic Catechism.

========================

And why not since in Jer 31:31-34 we have the New Covenant with the moral law of God known to Jeremiah and his readers - written on heart and mind.

That Law - including that unit of TEN where "the first commandment with a promise" is the 5th commandment according to Paul in Eph 6:2

Speaking of those commandments Paul says "what matters is keeping the commandments of God" 1 Cor 7:19

The point being that some bible details are so incredibly obvious - both sides admit to them

The devil is in the details.

As much as the weekday-1 folks may have gotten some details wrong - still wouldn't it be great if the discussion could get to the level of "we all agree that all Ten of the Ten commandments are included in the Law of God written on the heart" -- as they were back in the 1800's (As can bee seen in the examples given in the OP) ?

Amen! We will be honoring the commandments of God in heaven and on the new earth. We should all prepare NOW!
