But you can by simple obedience. It all friends upon who our what authority you choose to surrender to. If you observe Sunday, you observe and obey the Catholic Church. If you observe a "rest in Christ theme", which varies from church to church depending on your prospective, you are observing your own authority. They're is no justification for discarding the Commandment. Your excuses are simply made up according to your own imagination. You cannot biblically justify disobedience to the letter of the law. You can promote the indwelling Spirit who empowers you to obey, which you actually do elsewhere, but you reveal who your Lord in when discarding the 4th Commandment. Your going on about the covenant etc merely discloses your weak arguments, and your accusations that Sabbath keepers going understand the covenants reveals your own inhept research and scholarship. And your poor attention when attending Adventist churches. I could give you any number of brilliant links to articles, seminars, sermons, that teach sounds clear instruction and insight into the covenants... Without any reference to Ellen White... And without destroying biblical context and meaning. But because you are locked into your adopted position, I don't believe you'd be interested.
Backlit, I love hearing from you and responding to you and @quietthinker.
Besides conservative Foursquare Gospel, Seventh-day Adventists are my favorite denomination that I respect. I praise God that I had that Biblical foundation and background of the Old Covenant. And those two denominations are people who are zealous for what they believe, because you DO what you believe. And like me, you want everyone to know what you think you know. And like me, you believe you only have the real truth. I know I do. And it doesn't matter if one of us is wrong. We are living up to the knowledge that we have, and we are both God's children. Philippians 3:16. I even worship God on Saturday, but like I do everyday, from the time I get up till I go to bed, and even in my dreams. I abide in Him, and converse with Him. And, yes, He with me. BTW, you'll find this funny. On the other site I'm a member of they also have atheists and other religions, and when this atheist heard that I hear God's voice, and what He tells me to pray for comes to pass, he really got worried about me. He thought I was schizophrenic. No, I'm just supernaturally spiritually born again.
I also praise God that He led me to the full gospel - Spirit-filled Charismatic conservative Foursquare Gospel. Funny, both denominations were founded by women. Of the two, I love EGW more. I guess that is because I know more about her than I do Aimee Semple McPherson. But now I relate the most with Kathryn Kuhlman, who was nondenominational, but had such a close relationship with God who taught her that her theology was truly her own, as is mine. I actually know no one who believes exactly as I do about the interpretation of Scripture. But the relationship Kathryn had with God was the same as mine. I cried when I read her life story. We were so alike. And she gave up the same things I did for God, the love of her life. Well, now I'm rambling. I just want to say in parting that I respect both of you for loving God's commandments and keeping them. I keep the New Covenant commandments just as fervently, so in that we are just alike, and what I have always kept from my time as an Adventist, passion. I really do not worry about you two being saved, as you two and @Phoneman777 and @Eternally Grateful may about me. And @Phoneman777, I see in my alerts that you've responded to me. I'm not going to open them, as we are not going to change each other's mind. You do what you believe 100% in your heart. And I will do what I believe. And really - don't care what the rest of the world may think of you doing you. I'll see you all in heaven I'm sure.
