By
I welcome any dialogue from those who are opposed to the commanded
observance of the Seventh-day Sabbath for Christians and all
the world. The challenge is to show Biblical proof that will refute any
of these 10 Bible facts concerning the Seventh-day Sabbath. All responses will
be answered promptly with solid Bible evidence.
Irrefutable
Sabbath Truth #1 - Whenever Yahweh – the God of the Bible and the Father
of Yahshua (Jesus) our Savior identifies
Himself, He many times refers to the fact that He and His Son are the Creators
of the heavens and the earth. This is extremely important to Yahweh and should
be to us!
Isaiah
51:13
And forgettest Yahweh thy Maker,
that hath stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth;
and hast feared continually every day because of the fury of the oppressor, as
if he were ready to destroy? and where is the fury of the oppressor?
Isaiah
54:5
For thy Maker is thine husband;
Yahweh of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God
of the whole earth shall he be called.
Jeremiah
33:2
Thus
saith Yahweh the Maker thereof,
Yahweh that formed it, to establish it; Yahweh is his name;
Deuteronomy
4:32
For ask now of the days that are past, which were before thee, since the day
that God created man upon the earth,
and ask from the one side of heaven unto the other, whether there hath been any
such thing as this great thing is, or hath been heard like it?
Isaiah
40:26
Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number: he
calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that he is strong
in power; not one faileth.
Isaiah
41:20
That they may see, and know, and consider, and
understand together, that the hand of Yahweh hath done this, and the Holy One
of Israel hath created it.
Isaiah
45:18
For thus saith Yahweh that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it;
He hath established it, He created
it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am Yahweh; and there is none
else.
Ephesians
3:9
And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the
beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:
Colossians
1:16
For by him were all things created,
that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they
be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
Irrefutable
Sabbath Truth #2 – The Bible reason given for why our heavenly Father Yahweh
and His Son Yahshua (Jesus) are worthy of worship is because They CREATED
ALL THINGS! Therefore, His
reminder to remember the Seventh-day Sabbath must be taken seriously. The
Godhead did not cease to be Creators of the heaven and the earth when Christ
died on the cross! Get this point very
clear in your mind!
Revelation
4:11
Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things,
and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
Irrefutable
Sabbath Truth #3 – The Godhead gave one AND ONLY ONE memorial that would
remind the universe forever that they are the Creators of the heavens and the
earth, and that one reminder and memorial is the Seventh-day Sabbath. To
negate what God blessed as His memorial surely is an affront to the Creator!
Exodus 20
8 Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
10 But the seventh day is
the Sabbath of Yahweh thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou,
nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy
cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
11 For (or because) in six days Yahweh made heaven and
earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Yahweh blessed the Sabbath day, and
hallowed it.
Now therefore let it please thee to bless the house of
thy servant, that it may be before thee for ever: for thou blessest, O Yahweh,
and it shall be blessed for
ever.
Irrefutable
Sabbath Truth #4 Sunday – the false Sabbath, which was instituted by the fallen
church, and which she proudly boasts of having changed as predicted in Daniel
7:25, has no reference to the fact that Yahweh is the Creator God. Nor does it
honor His Son as Creator! In effect, the devil has taken away from much of
churchianity the only command that shows Yahweh is the true Creator God. The
enemy of God’s law has made much of the world forget the very command that
Yahweh said “remember!” The fourth
commandment is the only command that gives the reason why the Godhead is worthy
of worship, and that is because they created all things! Does it not
make sense that the devil would especially be opposed to this commandment? See
Revelation
Daniel 7
25 And he (the Little Horn which represents the fallen Roman Church)
shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of
the most High, and think to change
times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and
times and the dividing of time.
Irrefutable
Sabbath Truth #5 - Jesus’ death on the cross did not change the fact that “in
six days Yahweh made the heavens and the earth.” As long as the earth and the
universe remain, so will the memorial to their creation be in effect! The only
way the seventh-day Sabbath could be done away with is if another God came
along, created another universe, and gave another day in memorial of it! But
don’t anyone hold their breath for that!
Everything that was made was made by Jesus. See John 1:1. He said the
Sabbath was MADE for man. (See Mark 2:27-28) If it was MADE, it was Jesus who
MADE it!
Exodus 20
1 And God spake all these words, saying, (He spoke from His lips the
Ten Commandments.)
Psalm 89
34 My covenant will I not break, nor
alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.
Irrefutable
Sabbath Truth #6 – The seventh day Sabbath is not a “Jewish Sabbath.” It was
created at the end of creation week – 1800 years before Abraham ( of whom the
Jews descended) was even born! The Seventh-day Sabbath will be observed in the
New Earth by “all flesh”- not Jews only!
Genesis 2
1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of
them.
2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and
he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
3 And God blessed the
seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from
all his work which God created and made.
22
For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain
before me, saith Yahweh, so shall your seed and your name remain.
23 And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and
from one Sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me,
saith Yahweh.
16
this is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the
Lord, I will put my laws into their
hearts, and in their minds will I write them;
17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.

Corinthians 3:3
Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered
by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy
tables of the heart.
1 John 2
3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if
we keep his commandments.
4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his
commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
Irrefutable
Sabbath Truth #8 – A warning and reminder to the world from the Lord is going
forth reminding the world to worship their Creator! The world cannot worship
the Creator if it continues to trample on the Seventh-day Sabbath; the ONE
memorial He gave that He is the Creator! In fact, this command has almost the
exact same wording as the fourth commandment!
Revelation 14
7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the
hour of his judgment is come: and worship
him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.
Irrefutable Sabbath Truth #9 – The early
church observed the Sabbath and Paul and the apostles taught men to come to
public worship on the seventh-day Sabbath. Paul clearly taught this to the
gentiles even AFTER the Jews had gone out of the temple. He did not tell the gentiles to come back the
next day for Sunday service! It’s very clear from Acts 13:42-44 that Paul
preached on the Sabbath day to both Jews and Greeks. He kept God’s law and
warned believers to live lives in agreement with the principles of the Ten
Commandments. Church history tells us that Sunday observance did not begin till
at least 100 years after the death of the apostles!
Acts 13
42 And when the Jews were
gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be
preached to them the next Sabbath.
43 Now when the congregation was broken up many of the Jews and
religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them,
persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.
44 And the next Sabbath day
came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God.
1 Corinthians 6
9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the
10 Nor thieves,
nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers,
nor extortionists, shall inherit the
Irrefutable
Sabbath Truth #10 – There will be a remnant of believers who will be keeping
all of God’s commandments for the right reason – because they love the Lord! If
they were keeping them to earn their way to heaven, the devil would be glad
because no one can be saved by their works! But the following verse tells us
that the devil is enraged at these believers because they are keeping God’s
commandments for the right reason – they are in love with the Lord, and this
causes the devil to have “great wrath.”
Revelation 12
17 And the dragon was wroth
with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of
Jesus Christ.
James 2
10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
11 For He that said, do
not commit adultery, said also, do
not kill. (From the Ten Commandments) Now if thou commit no
adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law. 12
So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.

By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep His
commandments.
3 For this is the love of
God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
Ezekiel 22
25 There is a conspiracy of her
prophets in the midst thereof,
like a roaring lion ravening the prey; they have devoured souls; they have
taken the treasure and precious things; they have made her many widows in the
midst thereof.
26 Her
priests have violated My law, and have
profaned Mine holy things: they have
put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they shewed
difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from My Sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.
27 Her princes in the midst thereof are
like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, to get
dishonest gain.
28 And
her prophets have daubed them with untempered morter, seeing vanity, and
divining lies unto them, saying, Thus saith the Lord
GOD, when Yahweh hath not spoken.
