“WHAT THE CHURCHES SAY ABOUT SABBATH”

Dear beloved friends some church leaders have told the truth about the 4th Commandment. Yet, today, few have ears to hear about the Sabbath. The following are some things that various church leaders have said. I do hope that you find them interesting and helpful.

American Congregationalists: No authority exists in the New Testament for substitution of the first day for the seventh "The current notion that Christ and His apostles authoritatively substituted the first day for the seventh, is absolutely without any authority in the New Testament." Dr. Lyman Abbott, in the Christian Union, June 26, 1890

Anglican: Nowhere commanded to keep the first day "And where are we told in the Scriptures that we are to keep the first day at all? We are commanded to keep the seventh; but we are nowhere commanded to keep the first day. The reason why we keep the first of the week holy instead of the seventh is for the same reason that we observe many other things, - not because the Bible, but because the church, has enjoined [commanded] it." Isaac Williams, Plain Sermons on the Catechism, Vol. 1, pp 334, 336

[Chaplain Pat Harris]

Ozell:

God's Assurance: "These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life..." 1 John 5:13.

To call it eternal life would be a mockery if the person who had it could lose it and suffer eternal death. On the contrary, eternal life is linked with the promise that one cannot perish - a clear assurance of "eternal security" or "once saved, always saved." John 3:16 promises those who believe in Jesus Christ that they "should not perish, but have everlasting lie."

Shalom in Yeshua,
Chaplain Patricia Harris

[Archbishop Trevor 'Elihu' Greene]

Though I'm not one that stands with these fellas on their doctrine Chaplain, I cannot stand here and say I agree with the "once saved, always saved" doctrine. It is all a choice if one wants to continue on with the LORD. Lets look at the Millenial reign for example. The believers will rein with Him for 1000 years once He returns, but Satan will be loosed and will deceive many. Who are the many? THE BELIEVERS WHO ONCE WALKED WITH HIM! Think it wouldn't happen? Ask Judas about betraying His LORD, and see. GOD's love does not hold you captive in His salvation. Nothing and no one can keep you from committing suicide. Sure they may prevent it from time to time, but sooner or later, you will succeed. Such is the same with those who leave the LORD.

I agree with you on that, the once saved always saved is a dangerous and deceptive doctrine. you are a free agent and just as you choose to serve the Lord somewhere along the line you may choose to stop. The book says (Deut.30:19) I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: People are decieved if they think the Lord is going to force them in His Kingdom. You have a choice

[Kent Lawton]

to Pat Harris it's a dangerous thing to teach that once saved always saved. When the bible plainly says (Eze:19:26) When a righteous man turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and dieth in them; for his iniquity that he hath done shall he die. (Ex.32:31-33) 31 And Moses returned unto the LORD, and said, Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made them gods of gold. 32 Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin--; and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written. 33 And the LORD said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book. The bible doesn't teach once saved always saved

[Archbishop Trevor 'Elihu' Greene]

Amen, that verse stands strong.

[Hezekiah Ben Israel]

I agree with Broth Kent..
