Is the Sabbath Binding Today? By A. G. Hobbs, Our Seventh-day Adventist friends, as well as a few other religious bodies, insist that the weekly Sabbath should be observed today. They admit that something was done away when Christ was crucified, but insist that it was only animal sacrifice, incense, etc. They teach that there were two laws given on Mt. Sinai: that God gave one, and that Moses gave another; that the one given by the Lord was written on tables of stone, which were durable and still in force today; and that the law given by Moses was written in a book, and was abolished by Christ. They further assume that the law of God pertained to moral obligations, and that the law of Moses consisted of ceremonial duties. They make a distinction --- where there is no difference. These distinctions are not taught in the Bible. Adventists ASSUME them . Their first premise which is assumed is false, therefore, their conclusion is false. They assume the thing they must prove. ...

The Lord's Day by Irvin Barnes Introduction “ I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day ” (Revelation 1:10 ) The term Lord’s is translated from the Greek word Kuriakos . Vine defines the word as “ pertaining to a lord or master ” Thayer says, “ of or belonging to the Lord .” Thayer also states that in Revelation 1:10 , the Lord’s day, is “ the day devoted to the Lord, sacred to the memory of Christ’s resurrection. ” The same term is used in 1st. Corinthians 11:20 , regarding the Lord’s supper or communion. The church at Corinth had defiled the Lord’s supper to the point that Paul in so many words says, “ You should be coming together to eat the Lord’s supper, but because you have defiled it, what you are doing when you come together can not even be called the Lord’s supper .” Most Christians have a clear understanding of the relationship between Christ and the Lord’s supper. To separate Christ from the supper would render the supper void and useless. The connection o...

Are We Still Under The Ten Commandments? The Covenant With Israel A covenant is an agreement. God made an agreement with the descendants of Jacob. The Law given through Moses, including the Ten Commandments, is the written record of that agreement. “ The LORD our God made a covenant with us at Horeb. The LORD did not make this covenant with our fathers, but with us, those who are here today, all of us who are alive. ” ( Deuteronomy 5:2-3 ). The “ us ” in the passage is the Israelites. The Law was given only to the Israelites. We are not under the Law and it’s commandments today because it was a covenant between the Israelites and God.
