Proverbs 1:5 A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels: 7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
If the Scriptural record of the 6000-year age of the world is incorrect, as science currently claims, then the great facts about the creation would have to be dismissed summarily, and that will include throwing out the Sabbath, marriage, and God’s original instructions on diets and foods. Thus, we have science denying God on the one hand and the papacy discrediting His Creatorship, by the institution of a substitute day of rest that is entirely the brainchild of the beast in Revelation 13.
So, for all intents and purposes, God’s original day of rest, the 7th day Sabbath is under attack on two fronts. Therefore, the keeping of the original Sabbath will be the great test of loyalty to God, in these last days of earth’s history. In years gone by, the test of one’s allegiance to God was to believe, acknowledge, and accept, Christ, as The Savior of the world. But this is no longer a test of one’s loyalty, in and of itself.
The claim to believe in Jesus has gone mainstream, but has been so watered down in the process that it virtually means almost nothing today, whenever the popular majority in Christendom make this claim. The other gospel, which teaches persons to believe, without obeying God’s commandments, has bred a multitude of professed believers, who now take to themselves the name of Christ, but who recoil from obeying His law.
Mark 7:6 He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. 7 Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
