The Seventh Day of the Week is the Sabbath of the Lord

CONSISTENCY

CONSISTENCY is a rare jewel. Truth is consistent with itself; but error has as many heads and horns as the Apocalyptic dragon. This is well illustrated by the following veritable creed. SDSL 55.2

Article 1. I believe that the Sabbath has been changed to the first day of the week. SDSL 55.3

Article 2. I believe that Sunday is the true seventh day, and that it should be observed. SDSL 55.4

Article 3. I believe that we cannot tell what day the seventh day is. SDSL 56.1

Article 4. I believe that we are only required to keep one seventh part of time. SDSL 56.2

Article 5. I believe that the commandment to keep the seventh day is abolished. SDSL 56.3

Article 6. I believe that those who keep the Sabbath of the fourth commandment will fall from grace. SDSL 56.4

Article 7. I believe that every one should be fully persuaded in their own mind, whether to keep the Sabbath or not. SDSL 56.5

Reader, the foregoing is not a mere fancy sketch; I have met with a large number, who in the course of a single conversation, have avowed their faith in all the articles of the above creed. There are plenty of such all around you. Is this your creed? If so, permit me to point you to a better one. It consists of ten articles, and may be found in Exodus 20. Allow me to recommend this creed to you as infallible, it having been given by Jehovah in person, and written with his own finger on stone. You will find in its fourth article all the errors of the foregoing creed pointed out. What men have said of certain creeds of their own construction, may be said of this in truth: “If a man keep not this, no doubt he shall perish everlastingly.” J.N.A. SDSL 56.6
