    Argument #11: "Hebrews 4:1-9 says that we should rest as He (Christ) is now, that He died for our sins and that Sabbath is basically suspended until we are on the new earth.“ But they don’t look at the entire statement being made. Let’s look at Hebrews 4:1-11 (if you want to see my in-depth...

    Addressing some anti-Sabbath arguments

    Argument #6: "Jesus is my rest." o Jesus is not a "day" nor is He ever symbolically/metaphorically linked to being a “day” in the Bible; He's linked to being "the vine", "the lamb", "the door", "the rock" and many other things but never, not once, a "day". We must stick to the Bible and the...

    Addressing some anti-Sabbath arguments

    Probably the #1 most questioned part of the SDA doctrine is the one that is most apparent; why do we keep the 7th day Sabbath (from Friday sundown to Saturday sundown) instead of Sunday as most Protestant churches do?
