Introduction.
These are God’s memorials in the order in which they were instituted, that is, the Sabbath, the Lord’s Supper, and baptism.
As for the Sabbath, there are some who claim this is the seventh day of the week which is our Saturday, while others celebrate the first day of the week which is Sunday. Some Christians say there should be unleavened bread and alcohol-free wine for communion, while others like to use alcoholic wine and buy pre-baked round biscuits. There are some who baptize with full immersion in water, while others splash a few drops on a newborn child’s forehead.
Most people know that Christianity operates with two different days of rest, this is the seventh-day Sabbath, which is Saturday, and the first day of the week which is Sunday. But not everybody knows why it has become so. Some claim incorrectly that the seventh day’s Sabbath is for Jews, and for them only, and these believe the Sabbath is a Jewish invention, and that there are only a few other marginal groups that follow this Jewish tradition. Others claim that the Sabbath does not apply anymore, and that it was nailed to the cross together with Jesus. What is certain, however, is that not everybody knows when the Sabbath was instituted or when Sunday came into the picture and why there is theological disagreement about which day, according to the Bible, is the right one.
To defend their views on the Sabbath, many falsely claim that the seventh-day Sabbath is only for Jews, and they believe that the Sabbath is a Jewish invention and that only a few other marginal groups follow this Jewish tradition. Others claim that the Sabbath no longer applies and was nailed to the cross with Jesus. What is certain, however, is that not everyone knows when the Sabbath was instituted or when Sunday came into the picture, and why there is theological disagreement about which day is the right one according to the Bible.
When Jesus instituted the Lord’s Supper, he said, this do in remembrance of me (Luke 22:19). This lays down clear guidelines for how we should celebrate the Lord’s Supper. When Jesus said this do, He took an unleavened bread which He broke into pieces and gave to the disciples. Nothing is said about what kind of drink was in the chalice, or wine cup, but everything that is fermented is a picture of sin, and it is therefore natural to believe that it was new wine from grapes, that is, unfermented wine. Jesus never touched alcohol.
We know from history that the first Christians were baptized by full immersion in water. There are many today who believe that it is natural to baptize young children, but it is written thus in the baptism command: Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, [even] unto the end of the world. Amen, (Matthew 28,19-20).
Others believe that it is immaterial to be concerned with right and wrong in this context since they claim that the day we keep holy and worship on does not matter to God, because they keep every seventh day holy even if they choose Sunday. Then we can just as easily take all ten commandments and break them down because if it doesn’t matter which day we keep holy, which by the way is laid down in the fourth commandment (Genesis 20:8-11), then we can say the same about the other nine commandments. Let’s look at a couple of the commandments if we follow this line of reasoning:
The sixth commandment in Exodus 20:13 reads: Thou shalt not kill. The question that arises then becomes: Is it okay in special cases to kill those who cross our plans?
The eighth commandment in Exodus 20:15 reads: Thou shalt not steal. Here the question becomes: Is it okay for an outsider to steal, or whether I can steal something just because I fancy that particular thing?
Of course, in response to both problems we get that it is not good to break God’s commandments, and they will tell me that I can neither kill nor steal without breaking God’s commandments. But, I say, you tell me that it makes no difference to God how we keep God’s ten commandments and refer to the fourth commandment – the Sabbath commandment. In most cases, there is silence, dead silence with the others.
However, it seems to play a big role. Or … … …?
Whatever attitude one may have to this question allow myself to make clear that God himself has something very important to say about the aforementioned issues. If God says it is significant what day we honor the, we should at least set aside some time to find out what God has to say to this and why.
This has something to do with God’s memorials, and these are, as mentioned before, the Sabbath, the Lord´s Super and the baptism. Let’s look at these three memorials, but we start looking at them in reverse order.
All Bible texts are taken from King James Version 1611/1769, unless otherwise stated.
God’s memorials.
The baptism:
About the baptism, the Bible says.
The like figure whereunto [even] baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ, (1 Peter 3:21).
And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, [even] unto the end of the world. Amen, (Matthew 28:18-20).
Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life, (Romans 6:3-4).
There are no denominations that practice full immersion under water that have problems following this order. This happens every time someone is baptized in a Christian church that practices baptism by full immersion. Why? To show the world that we have accepted Jesus Christ as our saviour. When the candidate for baptism is completely submerged under water, this means that the «old» person dies and is buried, when the person is lifted out of the water again, it symbolizes the resurrection of the «new» person.
In other words, baptism symbolizes that the person who is baptized puts away the old life and begins a new life in Christ.
Those denominations that practice infant baptism do so for another special reason. In the Middle Ages, when the Catholic Church had introduced several of the non-biblical dogmas such as eternal burning hell, purgatory, and that baptism was one of the sacraments necessary for salvation, they began to baptize infants because it was believed that the child would be lost if it died without being baptized. They have not been able to change this, perhaps not so strange, because the Catholic Church says it never makes mistakes, and that it never changes. Therefore, such abominations are part of the dogmas of the fallen church – whether it is the fallen Catholic church or the fallen Protestant churches. The fallen churches completely ignore what Jesus says in Mark 10,14,16: But when Jesus saw [it], he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God … // … And he took them up in his arms, put [his] hands upon them, and blessed them.
Baptism, however, has a much older history, and a form of baptism was practiced before and in Jesus’ time where the individual walked daily through a pool completely filled with water to commemorate the exit from Egypt. Later came John the Baptist, who baptized with water in the Jordan River, and finally we received the following message from Jesus; go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
This memorial is not difficult to keep as it is neither enshrined in the Ten Commandments nor tied to a special day. We can baptize people on any day of the week we wish. The only criterion is to baptize or to be baptized, and everyone who is baptized, regardless of the way they are baptized, be it adult baptism or child baptism, this is done as a fulfilment of Jesus’ command to go out and make everyone His disciples by baptizing them.
The communion:
About the communion, the Bible says.
For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the [same] night in which he was betrayed took bread: And when he had given thanks, he brake [it], and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. After the same manner also [he took] the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink [it], in remembrance of me. For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord’s death till he come, (1 Corinthians 11:23-26).
There is no doubt that this is done in all Christian churches around the world, both in the Catholic Church and in the Reformed Church. In some churches, this is done every single week, in other churches it is not quite so often, but it is done, and it is done regularly just to keep this memorial in order to fulfil the word of Jesus, “this do in remembrance of me.”
The communion was instituted by our Lord Jesus Christ on Holy Thursday just hours before he was betrayed and arrested by the Roman soldiers. «This do in remembrance of me,» Jesus says, and we have no difficulty doing this, because this memorial is not attached to any particular day, nor is it embodied in any of the ten commandments.
There are those who claim that the apostles had already moved the Sabbath to Sunday, just after Jesus’ death and resurrection, because they once gathered on a Sunday in Troas to say farewell to Paul. The point in this section is hardly that Sunday had become the Lord’s Sabbath day. Rather, Paul was going out on one of his missionary journeys and held a «farewell sermon» to his friends. Then it may well be discussed whether it was the communion, or a regular evening meal Paul kept, (Acts 20,7).
I mean it was simply a meal they held, and I base this on several things, including the two Greek words, «klasai» and «arton» as translated by «breaking the bread» simply means; (klasai) broke into pieces and (arton) bread or food, and that this was a common term for eating a meal. By all means, it may have been the communion they shared, but to assert that it was the communion and then using this verse to defend Sunday observance is simply unreasonable and this is to read something into the text that does not stand there.
But back to the point. The only criterion attached to the communion is to do this in remembrance of Him who gave His life to our salvation, and by sharing the communion, we fulfil Jesus’ words to remember Him by doing this. I do not know if there are so many who really know why this is done, but we will do this to remind His death until he returns.
Common to the communion and the baptism is that none of them are embodied in the Ten Commandments of God or linked to a special weekday.
The Sabbath:
About the Sabbath, the Bible says.
And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made, (Genesis 2:2-3).
Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day [is] the sabbath of the LORD thy God: [in it] thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that [is] within thy gates: For [in] six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them [is], and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it, (Exodus 20:8-11).
When it comes to this memorial of the creation, as the Sabbath is, then it is for most people not so important anymore! By letting the common Christian believe that it does not matter which day is the Lord’s Sabbath, the prosecutor has already won a great victory, and many are hiding behind verses like: Romans 14:5: One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day [alike]. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind … … and / or … … Colossians 2:16: Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of a holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath [days] … // … but they detach the verses, take them out of their context and forget to see the whole of the paragraph, the whole book or the whole Bible for that matter. The context of Romans 14:5 is that Paul exhorts the church in Rome to show charity, (from 13:8). Probably there were some who sentenced their brethren in the church in Rome because they did or didn´t do certain things. This is what Paul is concerned with.
We must also consider that the Sabbath, the weekly Sabbath, God’s day of rest, was not a theme for Paul or the other Apostles. For them, the sabbath was the seventh day of the week, period. Another important point is that it is only the seventh day of the week that the Lord blessed and sanctified. None of the other six days of the week has been blessed and sanctified, and this place the seventh day in a special position among the days of the week. The Sabbath is the «Queen of Life.»
Colossians 2:16 speaks of the ceremonial sabbaths, all the festivals that were introduced in the religious calendar that pointed to Christ and the service that He should do. The word Sabbath really means «to abstain from work», and in other words, they were holidays or festivals. These Sabbaths were: Passover, 14 abib; The Feast of Unleavened Bread, 15th to 21st Abib; The feast of the first fruits, 16th Abib and 6th Sivan; The feast of the weeks, Pentecost, 6th Sivan (50 days after the harvest of the barley); The feast of the trumpets, 1. Tishri; The great day of atonement (Yom Kippur) 10. Tishri and the feast of the tabernacle, 15th to 22nd Tishri. (Leviticus chapter 23.) Abib is the first month of the religious year and corresponds to our March/April, Sivan the third month and corresponds to May/June, Tishri the seventh month corresponding to September/October.
These are the Sabbaths, in plural, which are the ceremonial Sabbaths Paul mentions in Colossians 2:17, which appears in the next verse, where it says: “Which are a shadow of things to come … …”
At all times we must keep in mind the biblical principle – typology, i.e. type and antitype in order to gain a correct understanding of the texts.
Those who claim that it is the weekly Sabbath, Paul mentions in the two verses above, also alleges that the Sabbath was not given to people in general, but to the people of Israel in particular, and not until the Sinai, referring to the fourth commandment in Exodus 20:8-11. The problem with such an argument is that it does not measure up to what the Bible itself says about the matter. Before Israel came to Sinai, we can read about the Sabbath day in Exodus 16. The Sabbath is explicitly mentioned in four verses, 23; 25; 26 and 29, and in verses 27-28 we read the following: And it came to pass, [that] there went out [some] of the people on the seventh day for to gather, and they found none. And the LORD said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws?
It is obvious that Israel knew the Sabbath before coming to this point on the history’s timeline. Who believes that God would criticize and punish his people for not keeping the Sabbath if they did not know it from before?
As we can see in Genesis 2,2-3, the Sabbath is not a Jewish tradition, but we find it already at the seventh day in the creation week when God instituted the Sabbath by blessing the seventh day of the week and sanctified it. This happened when there were only two people throughout the world, Adam and Eve, and before sin entered the world. To sanctify something simply means that God has set something aside for holy use, and it is only God Himself who can sanctify something by His presence, for example a day.
The fact that God has not made changes regarding the Sabbath is found in the Bible. Through the prophet Amos the Lord says: Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets, (Amos 3:7).
The Sabbath, the seventh day of the week, therefore, has eternal validity, and the Lord has not changed in it any way after he blessed and sanctified the seventh day of the week.
But, what is really the Sabbath? Is it a religious formality? I myself don´t believe that the Sabbath is a religious formality, and for me it is not just an outer shell that I wear every Saturday, but it has a much deeper content. The Sabbath is for me that day when I can put away all trivial matters and all the problems, meet my God who is especially present this day, and be with Him, my Creator and Saviour, to get to know him a little better for each sabbath that comes without any external things being able to affect me these 24 hours.
Unlike the baptism and the communion, the Sabbath was instituted already in the garden of Eden before the fall, and it is also embodied in the Ten Commandments, with a request to remember the creation (Exodus 20:8-11) and to look forward to the final deliverance (salvation), Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee. Six days thou shalt labour and do all thy work: But the seventh day [is] the sabbath of the LORD thy God: [in it] thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thine ox, nor thine ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that [is] within thy gates; that thy manservant and thy maidservant may rest as well as thou. And remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and [that] the LORD thy God brought thee out thence through a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore the LORD thy God commanded thee to keep the sabbath day. (Deuteronomy 5:12-15).
The prophet Isaiah says the following about what we should do on the Sabbath, and what blessings await us if we keep the Sabbath as God wants us to do: If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, [from] doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking [thine own] words: Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken [it], (Isaiah 58:13-14).
Perhaps that’s why it’s so hard to accept that the Sabbath was, is and always will be Saturday, and to comply with the fourth commandment to hold the seventh day as the Lord’s holy Sabbath.
The Sabbath has always been under attack from Satan, and he has used every means at his disposal to destroy God’s Sabbath. Unfortunately, one of his aids is the Catholic Church, which has taken responsibility and boasts that they have changed the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday. Let’s look at some statements from the Catholic Church, and from a Methodist, a Baptist and a Presbyterian.
It is necessary to clarify certain statements from DKK, such as that the Sunday celebration began as a weekly Easter celebration. That the catholic church claims this is incredible. In the next sentence, the catholic church contradicts itself as they now claim that it was the resurrection of Jesus that was the very core of Sunday celebration, which is now called, a weekly communion celebration. The raisin in the sausage is nevertheless this argument: This is how Sunday appeared as a day that Jesus Christ himself practically had chosen. That the Catholic Church dares the claim that Jesus himself has elected Sunday as the Sabbath day is at their expense. There is not a single place in the Bible that even alludes to the claim that Sunday has become God’s holy day.
The Catholic Church also says the following: The very first Christians were Jews. And for a time they kept the Sabbath on Saturday – the seventh and last day of the week.
Take time to think about what the Catholic Church is saying. It readily admits that God has not changed the Sabbath, and willingly admits that it is the Catholic Church that has moved God’s holy Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday as a result of their own traditions that arose in the first centuries AD. Furthermore, we can read:
But instead of remembering the pagan sun worship, the name was reinterpreted: The sun is the greatest light, and was allowed to represent Christ, the light of the world (John 8:12; 9:5; 12:46), the light that reveals God to the Gentiles (Luke 2:32), the true light, that which enlightens every human being (John 1:9). That the sun was hailed as life-giving and as invincible (cf. the mid-winter solstices sun feasts) was also something that easily could be transferred to the Lord Jesus.
It is well and good that the Catholic Church claims that they have reinterpreted the pagan rituals and dressed them in a Christian robe, but there is no doubt that it is the sun god who is honoured. One of the pope’s many titles is precisely the pagan title: Pontifex Maximus. Does anyone think this is just coincidence?
A moment!. It is not the Sun god who is honoured on this day, it is said. It is quite possible that someone honoured the sun god and that someone still does. But to say that those who keep Sunday as a day of rest honour another god is an exaggeration. Those who keep Sunday as a day of rest do so for the God of Judaism or Christianity whether it is wrong or not. Such a claim is both a lie and a conspiracy theory.
It is to go too far to call a shovel a shovel. Sunday is and will be the venerable day of the sun, even the papacy says this, and that whether we like it or not. I cannot expect that everyone know about this. Neither did I know that the title Pontifex Maximus* refers to sun worship before I read about it. Pontifex Maximus which symbolically means the highest bridge builder was the title of the highest priest in the sun worship, and this title the pope has to this day, in his capacity as both the bishop of Rome and the pope! This is not a conspiracy theory, but a pure factual information taken from serious encyclopaedias and the Catholic Church’s own pages on the internet and which are available to everyone. That secular forces in most countries around the world want to change the Sabbath has been on the agenda since the days of Emperor Constantine in the early 4th century. Most people who keep Sunday as a day of rest do not know better, and they think it should be so, and they could not care less. Already Daniel prophesied this 2600 years ago. Daniel 7:25 says: And he (the papacy) shall speak [great] words against the most High and shall wear out the saints of the most High and think to change times (the Sabbath) and laws (the Ten Commandments), and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
The question that follows then becomes: Does it really matter for an American if we celebrate July 4 on June 12 instead?
- Pontifex Maximus was the High Priest of the Pontifex College during the Roman Empire. This was the most important office in the religion of ancient Rome and was open only to patricians until 254 BC. when a plebeian first received the title. During the republic the office was to a very high degree of a religious nature, but during Augustus and the imperial period the title became at least as important politically. I 376 AD Bishop / Pope Demasus I of Rome allowed himself to be given the title Pontifex Maximus. In other words, from this date on, the bishops of Rome adorned themselves with the title of the high priest for the occult mysteries of Babylon. A title that the popes later took over. The pope is still the bishop of Rome. The official list of titles of the pope given in the Annuario Pontificio includes supreme pontiff as the fourth title, the first being bishop of Rome. (From Wikipedia.)
Here are some of the Pope’s titles: Bishop of Rome, Vicar of Jesus Christus, Successor of the Chief of the Apostles (Vicar of Peter), Supreme pontiff of the Universal Church, Primate of Italy, Archbishop and Metropolitan of the Roman Province, Sovereign of Vatican City State, and Servant of the Servants of God.
The following quotes from the history of the church are in this context thought-provoking.
The Sunday law of Emperor Constantine was given on March 7, 321 AD: On the venerable day of the sun (venerabili die Solis), the officials and the people of the cities should rest, and the workshops should be closed. But in the countryside, the people who farm are allowed to continue the work, (Codex Jusunianus in Schaff, History of the Christian Church).
I 364 AD came the first ecclesiastical Sunday law, issued by the council of Laodicea, in which the custom of not working on Saturday was condemned.
I 538 AD The Council of Orleans issued a stricter Sunday law, which, among other things, also stopped work in agriculture.
The historian Socrates (400s AD) writes in his work Ecclesiastical History this: Almost all churches in the world celebrate the sacraments on the Sabbath every week, but the Christians in Alexandria and Rome have for some tradition stopped doing this.
Lucius Ferraris, papa Petrus de Ancharano says: The pope can change divine laws, because he does not have his power in from man, but from God, and he acts in God’s place on earth and has unrestricted power to bind and loose his sheep.
The Manual of the Catholic Religion states: That the church has instituted Sunday as the day of the Lord instead of the Sabbath and set it as a day especially for worship, is a clear proof of its great power which it solemnly received from Christ.
Cardinal Gibbons’ answer to I. S. Snyder, whether the change of holiday was a sign or mark of the authority of the church. Of course, the Catholic Church claims that change is its own act. It could not be otherwise, as no one in those days would have dreamed of doing anything in spiritual and religious matters without it. And this act is a mark of the clerical power and of its authority in religious matters, (letter dated October 28, 1895).
Cardinal James Gibbon says in the book The Faith of Our fathers the following: One can read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, without finding a single line, which authorizes the observance of Sunday.
From Doctrinal Catechism we can include this:
Question: Can you in any other way prove that the church has the power to institute feast days by law?
Answer: If it did not have such power, it could not have done what all the professors of modern religion agree with it: it could not have introduced Sunday, the first day of the week, instead of the observance of Saturday, the seventh day, a change for which there is no authority in scripture.
In The Convert’s Catechism of Catholic Doctrine (1977 edition) we find this:
Question: What day is the Sabbath?
Answer: Saturday is the Sabbath.
Question: Why do we keep Sunday holy instead of Saturday?
Answer: We keep Sunday holy instead of Saturday because the Catholic Church has transferred the holy day of Saturday to Sunday.
The Roman Catholic theologian John A. O’Brian says in The Faith of Millions the following: Since it is Saturday and not Sunday, which is mentioned in the Bible, it is not strange that people who are not Catholics, and who say they have not received their religion from the church, but directly from the Bible, keep Sunday instead of Saturday? Of course, it is inconsistent. Sunday observance is a reminder of the mother church, from which the non-Catholic sects have distinguished themselves.
We keep Sunday instead of Saturday because the Catholic Church has transferred Saturday’s holiness to Sunday. Pieter Geiermann, CSSR: A Doctrinal Catechism, 1957 edition, p. 50.
Sunday is a Catholic institution, and its demand for observance can only be defended on Catholic terms. The Catholic Press, Sydney, Australia, August 1900.
It is best to remind Presbyterians, Baptists, Methodists, and all other Christians that the Bible does not give them any support in their Sunday observance. Sunday is an institution that comes from the Roman Catholic Church, and those who keep this day hold a commandment that belongs to the Roman Catholic Church. Father Brandy in a speech, reproduced in the Elizabeth, N.J. News, March 18, 1903.
Common sense requires that one accept one or the other of these alternatives: Either Protestantism and the observance of Saturday, or Catholicism and the observance of Sunday. A compromise is impossible. The Catholic Mirror, Dec. 23. 1893
And where in Scripture are we told at all that we are to keep the first day? We are commanded to keep the seventh day, but nowhere are we commanded to keep the first day. Isaac Williams, Anglican: Plain Sermons on the Catechism, pp. 334,336.
It is true that there is no specific order for infant baptism. Nor is there such an order to keep the first day of the week holy. Many believe that Christ changed the Sabbath. But from his own words we see that he did not come up with such a thing in mind. Those who believe that Jesus changed the Sabbath are based on pure assumption. Amos Binney, Methodist: Theological Compendium, pp. 180-181.
It was, and still is, a commandment to keep the Sabbath day holy, but this Sabbath is not Sunday. It can be easily said, however, and with a certain overtone of triumph, that the Sabbath, with all its duties, privileges, and sanctions, was transferred from the seventh to the first day of the week. When I sincerely wanted to get information on this subject I have studied for many years, I ask: Where can one find such a transfer written down? Not in the New Testament, certainly not. There is no biblical evidence that the Sabbath was changed from the seventh day to the first day of the week. E.T. Hiscox, Baptist and author of the Baptist Handbook.
As we can see, the Catholic Church does not hide the fact that they have changed the Lord’s day of rest, moving it from Saturday to Sunday. What is disturbing is that almost all Christians seem to believe the lie that has been planted that God himself has changed the Sabbath. The Sabbath is one of God’s three memorials, the baptism, the communion and the Sabbath. There is no one who has problems complying with baptism and the communion, because, as said, they are not linked to any of God’s ten commandments or to a special day. The Sabbath, on the other hand, is completely opposed precisely because it is from eternity, enshrined in God’s ten commandments and linked to a special day of the week. The only commandment that begins with REMEMBER is the commandment that almost all Christians will forget.
