We will certainly do our best to help you not be confused about this Bible
subject.  The simple answer is that Sabbath observance is no longer in
effect - regardless of what the Adventists say.  We all live under the
gospel of Christ today, not the law of the Old Testament, including the
Sabbath law given to Israel (Col. 2:14-17; 2 Cor. 3:14; Gal. 3:24-25).
Regardless of their sincerity, the Adventists have twisted the word of God
to their own demise (2 Pet. 3:16; Gal. 1:8-9).

Let me sincerely warn you not to be drawn in by their error and false
teaching on this subject.  Please consider the following from God's word to
see why I am giving you such a warning.

The Sabbath law was given to Israel by God at Mt. Sinai -- not at the
beginning of time to all men as Sabbatarians proport (Exo. 20:8; Neh.
9:13-14).  It was given to the nation of Israel as a sign of the covenant
between God and the nation of Israel (Exo. 31:12-18; Deut. 5:15).

You must understand that we do not live under the law which God gave to
Israel through Moses -- we are to hear Christ Jesus (Matt. 17:1-5; Heb.
1:1-2; Matt. 28:18).  We do not live under the 10 commandments -- they were
a part of a law given only to Israel, which distinguished them from all the
other nations (Exo. 19:5-6; Exo. 20:1ff).  That law was removed by Christ
and now all men are under His gospel (Mk. 16:15).

Everyone one of the 10 commandments are renewed -- and even strengthened --
in the gospel of Christ (cf. Matt. 5:17ff).  Every one, that is, except the
Sabbath command.  This is not surprising, since it was a command to Israel
as a sign between God and Israel -- only.

Yes, Jesus was raised on the first day of the week (Lk. 24:1, 7, 21).  In NT
times Christians gathered on the first day of the week to "break bread" (the
Lord's Supper) and worship together (Acts 20:7; cf. 1 Cor. 16:2).  It is
undeniable that NT Christians assembled together, not on the 7th day
(Sabbath), but on the 1st day of the week.

The Bible never calls Sunday the "Christian Sabbath."  Since such a term is
never found in the Scriptures we should not be used if we intend to "speak
as the oracles of God" (1 Pet. 4:11).

I have some material about the Sabbath on the BIBLE ANSWERS web site that I
encourage you to study.  It was written after I had a series of discussions
and studies with some Adventists.  I urge you to visit these pages.  The
material goes into more depth than I have briefly written in this post.
