Anchor Scriptures:
"O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles." Psalm 43:3,

"Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled." Matthew 5:6

In this panel discussion, we explored "Why Sunday is Not the Christian Sabbath Day" and gave 10+ uncontroverted reasons. Also, extra-biblical evidence in support of the validity of Saturday as the 7th day of the week and the Sabbath of the fourth Commandment was presented during the conclusion. At the same time, panel members focus on what the Bible has to say regarding a seemingly controversial topic.

Beware of closed minds and majority rule - What should be the test of the Sabbath? Only the word of God, the infallible rule of inspired Scripture. One can be sincere and sincerely wrong. Paul and the early church, including Greece and Gentiles, followed Jesus' example (Luke 4:16; Acts 13:42, 44; 16:13) but wrongly heard that Paul had large crowds of Jewish at synagogues only on Saturdays. Modern critics say Sabbathkeepers as legalists, really; John 14:15? Remember, don't look for the most popular way, convenient way, or via political correctness, but let's look for the Bible way; it's possible to observe or keep the Sabbath in today's competitive, industrialized society (1 John 5:3; Mat 6:33), though there is economic manipulation of Saturdays to our perils temporary. Also note that without love, Sabbath-keeping, including all law, will be mechanical and miserable such that commandments keeping should be dight and relational.

Panel members attempted to answer the questions below using the Bible and extra-biblical references. These questions were derived from the various justifications for Sunday observance.
i. The Sabbath is part of the old covenant. We are under the new covenant of grace, so keeping the Sabbath is unnecessary. Is that true?
ii. The Sabbath is for the Jews. It was given to the children of Israel only. Sunday is the Christian Sabbath. The apostles rested on Sunday, the 1st day of the week, not on Saturday, the 7th day (see Acts 20, I Corinthians 16, and Revelation 1:10). Does the bible support this position?
iii. Some people believe that the law was nailed to the cross; therefore, we are no longer required to keep the Sabbath of the fourth commandment. Are we free from keeping the Ten Commandments because of the death of Christ on the cross?
iv. No need to keep the fourth commandment because Jesus is our Sabbath. Is that true?
v. The seven days weekly cycle instituted at creation has been lost. We cannot tell which day is the 7th day of the week. How true is this assertion?
vi. The fourth commandment says we should work for six days and rest on the seventh day. Hence any day of the week can be a Sabbath day. Can we select any day of the week and observe it as the Sabbath?

Our subsequent episodes will analyze each question and present specific answers. Stay connected for more unadulterated content.
