1. Why has the church lost its appreciation for the Sabbath? (00:17)

The SDA pastor I work with, and whom I consider a friend, has asked this same question.

He and I have close to argued at length, but he doesn't listen. He kept claiming the Sabbath day of rest predates the Law by being instituted back in Genesis in God's rest, not through Moses. That's one way cults cling to Law...same with people who say the Law wasn't really Israel's but is our model of the character of God himself, which makes it binding today as the code of conduct for all. It's all designed to neutralize Paul's teaching of the believer's death to Law.

He also pretty much ignored everything I brought up about the Gospel of grace and the uniqueness of the revelation Paul received.

Very nice man, but blind so I've given up.
