[Sabbath Controversy #3] A Vindication of the Seventh-day Sabbath, and the Commandments of God

MOSES’ CODE OF LAWS, BY JESUS AND HIS APOSTLES

“That is written in their law, they hated,” etc. - John 15:25 SC3 164.8

“Justified by the law of Moses.” - Acts 13:39 SC3 164.9

“Is it written in your law, I said, ye are gods?” - John 10:34 SC3 165.1

“Have ye not read in the book of Moses.” - Mark 12:26 SC3 165.2

“Judged according to our law.” - Acts 24:6 SC3 165.3

“Out of the law of Moses.” - 27:23, and 21:20, 22, 24, 28 SC3 165.4

“And your law.” - Acts 18:15 Paul. SC3 165.5

This and much more could be given to show the clear distinction that Jesus and his Apostles and the Jews always kept up between the law of God and the law of Moses. This is why so much confusion pervades our minds, when we read Paul to the Cor., Rom., Gal., and Col. If we carefully read his letter to the Hebrews, his Jewish brethren, we shall see a clearer distinction. In the 7th chapter, and first part of the 8th, he describes the priesthood; the change to Christ in his sanctuary in the heavens, and then the second covenant, the law of God written on our hearts. 9th chapter explains the first covenant, with its appendages, and the change. 10th chapter shows that these appendages never could make us perfect. 9th verse speaks of the change; 16th verse of the law of God again, and the 28th of the law of Moses. These four chapters will give more light respecting the two codes of laws; how one is abolished, except the types, and the other established, than all that ever I read from the pens of these no-commandment professors. May God help us to see the clear light. SC3 165.6
