7th Day Christians

FACTS ABOUT THE SEVENTH DAY SABBATH

1. IT IS ONE COMMANDMENT THAT THE LORD SAYS TO REMEMBER - EXODUS 20:8

2. After working the first six days of the, the great God rested on the seventh day. (Genesis 2:1.3.)

3. This MARKED the day as THE LORDS day of rest, or Sabbath day, as Sabbath refers to the day to rest. Example: When someone is born on a certain day, that day then becomes his birthday. So when God rested upon the seventh day, that day became His rest or Sabbath day where creation of the earth’s birth was established; thus we are to REMEMBER HIS works. Take Note: The resurrection of Christ has nothing to do with the day of rest, the Sabbath day and the creation of earth. The Seventh day Sabbath is the day we are to rest, not on the day of His resurrection, which the world has been taught to remove the Sabbath and obey the antichrist pope’s day of rest which they say is Sunday. Therefore the seventh day must always be God's Sabbath day. Can you change your birthday from the day on which you were born to one on which you were not born? No. Neither can you change God's rest day to a day on which He did not rest. Hence the seventh day is still God's Sabbath day.

4. The Creator blessed the seventh day. (Genesis 2:3.)

5.He sanctified the seventh day. (Exodus 20:11.)

6. He established the Sabbath day in the Garden of Eden. (Genesis 2:1-3.)

12. It was not just made for the Jewish people, for it was made 2,300 years before ever there was ever a Jew.

13. The Bible never calls it the Jewish Sabbath, but always "the Sabbath of the Lord thy God." Wicked men should be cautious how they have clearly stigmatized God's holy rest day.

43. Paul, the apostle to the Gentiles, called it the "Sabbath day" in A.D. 45. (Acts 13:27.) Did not Paul know? Or shall we believe modern teachers, who affirm that it ceased to be the Sabbath at the resurrection of Christ?

51. There was never any dispute between the Christians and the Jews about the Sabbath day. This is proof that the Christians still observed the same day that the Jews did.

52. In all their accusations against Paul, they never charged him with disregarding the Sabbath day. Why did they not, if he did not keep it?

53. But Paul himself expressly declared that he had kept the law. “Neither against the law of the Jews, neither against the temple, nor yet against Caesar, have I offended any thing at all." Acts 25:8. How could this be true if he had not kept the Sabbath?

54. The Sabbath is mentioned in the New Testament fifty-nine times, and always with respect, bearing the same title it had in the Old Testament, “the Sabbath day.”

55. Not a word is said anywhere in the New Testament about the Sabbath's being abolished, done away, changed, or anything of the kind.

56. God has never given permission to any man to work upon it. Reader, by what authority do you use - the seventh day for common labor?

57. No Christian of the New Testament, either before or after the resurrection, ever did ordinary work upon the seventh day. Find one case of that kind, and we will yield the question. Why should modem Christians do differently from Bible Christians?

58. There is no record that God has ever removed His blessing or sanctification from the seventh day.

66. The saints of God will not be burned by the fourth plague because they would not worship on the day of the Babylonian sun worship Sunday, but they continued to keep the seventh day Sabbath of the Lord. The wicked are burned by the sun for not obeying the fourth commandment, but worshipping the sun. God then gives them the sun they worshipped in Revelation 16:8 - And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire. 

67. Anyone who removes the seventh day Sabbath and replaces it with Sunday is worshipping the beast and his image and will die in the end. Revelation 14, 16, 18
