Exodus 31:12 And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying, 13 Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths you shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that you may know that I am the Lord that doth sanctify you.
Before we get into the Sabbath issue, it is important that we understand how we got to where we are, as far as the substitute day of rest goes. Satan employs a combination of religion and science to try to make of none effect, the truth about the Sabbath. He moved upon pagan and papal Rome to introduce Sunday, as a memorial of Christ’s resurrection which God never ordained, and then he employed science to try to discredit the Scriptural records of the true age of the earth.
Thus, by this two-pronged method, God’s work of creation, and the institution of Sabbath observance has gotten distorted and cloudy in the minds of the people. The study of fossils, and the science behind radio-carbon dating have contributed greatly to the fostering of the theory of evolution. According to the “X-perts” radio-carbon dating merges chemistry and physics to develop a scientific method that could accurately determine the age of organic materials as old as approximately 60,000 years.
It is based on the science that living organisms, like trees, plants, people, and animals absorb carbon-14 into their tissue. When they die, carbon-14 starts to change into other atoms over time. Scientists can then estimate how long the organism has been dead by counting the remaining carbon-14 atoms. The technique was developed in the 1940s at the University of Chicago by chemistry professor Willard Libby, who later received the Nobel Prize for his work.
Exodus 31:14 You shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that defiles it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
