Two: An Inconsistent Sabbatarian
An Inconsistent Sabbatarian totally agrees with the consistent sabbatarian up to the point of seventh versus one in seven part. At this point he changes the "unchanging" moral law in two ways. He first changes the day from the seventh to first, and then also changes the God given reason(s) for remembering the day. We now keep the Christian Sabbath (A term and concept totally unknown in Scriptures) holy to remember the resurrection of Christ. The view has no clear and compelling New Testament evidence for either of these changes. However, to his credit, the inconsistent sabbatarian does honestly try to be consistent with the specific rules that God gave to Israel concerning Sabbath behavior. The Puritans nearly all held this view.
The rest is here. Any thoughts? I've become interested in the Reformed view of the Sabbath after listening to a tape on the Ten Commandments by Dr. Laura and then seeing "Amazing Facts" [SDA program] last night.
Thanks,
