Hi, friends! We received thousands of comments and questions from the Sabbath discussion with Steve Gregg. We thought it would be useful to go a little deeper into answering some of the most common objections to Sabbath observance raised by Steve and others.

Before the commandments were given at Mt. Sinai the Israelites were to gather manna daily and only for the day or it would go bad. On the sixth day they were to gather a double portion so that they could rest on the seventh day and the manna would not go bad. We are all Israelites not just the Jewish nation. May we not harden our hearts to the truth.
it strikes me as odd that people like Steve back up their claims by using the word Seventh-day Adventist. Maybe he should study Seventh-day Adventist, as far as I know we are one of the very few religions that believe in the seventh day. Knowing that Roman paganism changed that holy day to the sixth day. From what the Bible teaches us, there is no room for debate, there is no room for error, if I had to make an educated guess, if Daniel and John were giving such detailed and vivid prophecies, that are based on the faith of the seventh day. I find it morally reprehensible that someone can call themselves Christian and teach something else. It's simply illogical. We are called Seventh-day Adventist because of commandment number four, not because we're legalistic, but because we believe all 10 commandments. That does not make Seventh-day Adventist people any better than anyone else. But what we believe in is certainly turning out to be something of great difference than other religions. and if you read, Daniel, and the book of revelation, you will quickly find out the difference between Catholicism and the Seventh Day Adventist Church. These debates and quibbling is exactly what Satan thrives on. He is the master of deception, an artist with confusion, a liar. And that is what Satan wants. If I were Steve, I would look up the word repentance. A commandment requires obedience, dedication, faith, just to name a few, keeping the sabbath holy is not easy, but that does not give man the right to accept pagan policies to make the Sunday convenient. When Sunday law gets enforced, may I point my fingers and call the other denominations that keep the Sunday holy, and call them legalistic? Or would that not be sociably acceptable? in any case, debate or not, the Bible has been dead on with every prophecy it lists what happens at the end of time when your soul makes the decision as to what mark it receives, it is then that the fourth commandment will become clear to everyone.
this Steve guy should put his energy into absorbing the truth of the Bible rather than tiptoe around the truth with debates. At the end of the day, regardless, what Steve thinks. There is no scripture that abolishes commandment number four regardless what state the Egyptian slaves were in, which is just a play on words and completely irrelevant not to mention it holds no weight on the abolition of ANY of the commandments. ESPECIALLY number four. Furthermore, Doug bachelor is correct not because Doug bachelor is correct, the reason Doug Batchelor is correct is because the Bible is correct and Doug bachelors basis are all covered by the Bible. It Steve does not believe the whole Bible in its entirety, then, perhaps refrain from arguing the commandments of God. This is not something the Seventh-day Adventist made up, this is something the Seventh-day Adventist believe in. That does not make anyone legalistic, the Bible is the whole truth not 90% of it. Regardless of the attention, Steve is either trying to arouse for himself or cloud the beauty that the word of God really possesses. The fact you find the time or the necessity to debate, the obvious is clearly an atheistic approach. I strongly & respectfully disagree with anything. Steve has to say regarding the word of God, the Bible may not always be clear, because we are not always putting the effort to study and understand it like Doug bachelor does, most of us read the Bible two or three times a week, Doug Batchelor sprinkles the Bible on his cereal in the morning. This is why I appreciate Doug bachelors teaching, Doug bachelor would be another Steve if he taught anything to the left field of what the Bible truthfully says. People like Steve, who play with the words of God are described in the Bible as well. Steve should stick to debating human laws which are faulty the day they are made, not the word of God. I find him a complete insult to my strong beliefs in the holy Bible. I am sad that Steve is so misinformed and misguided about the definitive laws of God. He would've been a great Pharisee, when Jesus was being crucified.
