Conclusion
The week was being counted before the creation
of the time-keeping pieces of the sun and the
moon. The Sabbath, like marriage, comes to
us from the Garden of Eden. It has always had
faithful observers. When light shown on the Law
of God after 1844 the Sabbath truth was revealed
to God’s prophet, Ellen White, and to God’s
movement, the Adventists.
The confusion that the lunar Sabbath ideas have
created is not sensible. The arguments regarding
“three months in a row” and “all Sabbaths in
scripture on the 15th, 22nd,
etc.” are only so much misunderstandings and
speculations.
The gifts given to preserve the church from such
winds have been despised.
A “thus Saith the Lord” for lunar-Sabbath
keeping has not been demanded. And it can not be
produced.
One organization has offered a substantive
reward for a Biblical refutation of the lunar
Sabbath doctrine. Appended to that offer was a
quote of Luther, “By
the mercy of God, I conjure you, . . . to prove
from the writings of the prophets and apostles
that I have erred. As soon as I am convinced of
this, I will retract every error . . . ."
This is
a noble position, and a rare one. May it be the
sincere position of those who have been
erroneously carried away with the pseudo-history
of the lunar-Sabbath proponents.
Amen.
