If we must keep the Sabbath as you all claim, then why do Sabbatarians Not follow the Old Testament Law exactly by keeping circumcision, animal sacrifices and keeping Passover?
If the Sabbath law is still in force, then why do they Not stone their own members when they break the Sabbath as the Old Testament Law said?

They believe that the Ten Commandments was a part of some "moral law" that was bound upon all people in all times.

Their evidence is pretty flimsy for this.

If I still did animal sacrifices, then what am I saying? I'm saying that Christ's death wasn't good enough. However, Christ's death was good enough for all people for all time. Paul, in the N.T. says that circumcision is not needed anymore. The 7th day Sabbath (Saturday) is still in effect. Some of you say that it's the Jewish sabbath and not to be followed anymore. Question for you...How many Jews were there at creation when God instituted the Sabbath as a memorial to His creation? None. And if the Sabbath was done away with, then why would it be re-established again in the new earth (Isaiah 66:22-23)? Do you really what to know why most Christians keep Sunday as sabbath? Here is a quote from the Catholic Church.

"But since Saturday, not Sunday, is specified in the Bible, isn't it curious that non-Catholics who profess to take their religion directly from the Bible and not the Church, observe Sunday instead of Saturday? Yes, of course it is inconsistent; but this change was made about 15 centuries before Protestantism was born, an by that time the custom was universally observed. They have continued the custom, even though it rests upon the authority of the Catholic Church and not upon an explicit text in the Bible. That observance remains as a reminder of the Mother Church from which the non-Catholic sects broke away - like a boy running away from home but still carrying in his pocket a picture of his mother or a lock of her hair." The Faith of Millions.

Don't like that quote...here is another.

"Perhaps the boldest thing, the most revolutionary change the Church ever did, happened in the first century. The holy day, the Sabbath, was changed from Saturday to Sunday. "The Day of the Lord" (dies Dominica) was chosen, not from any directions noted in the Scriptures, but from the Church's sense of its own power....People who think that the Scriptures should be the sole authority, should logically become Seventh-Day Adventists, and keep Saturday holy." Sentinel, Pastor's page, Saint Catherine Church, Algonac, Michigan, May 21, 1995.

So who do you follow? The Bible or the Catholic Church? I'll take the Bible everytime.

The Sabbath is Saturday, Sunday is the Lord's Day. Circumcision is still practiced in many cultures, baptism replaced circumcision, animal sacrifices no longer happen because there is no longer a Temple, it was destroyed in 70 AD. As for animal sacrifices they were basically done away with. Why? Because Jesus Christ became the last sacrifice. Passover is still practiced, it is practiced and celebrated each and everyday in the Catholic Church, it is called Eucharist

Truthfully...
Just like so many other "Christian" denominations.

They pick and choose what to believe and what not to believe.

And no we are not required to keep the sabbath today, that was to the Jew under the law.

7 th Day Adventist still keep the OT sabbath

Circumcision: Romans 2:29 -- but he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the Spirit, not in the letter; whose praise is not from men but from God.

Animal sacrifices: Hebrews 10:4 -- For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and goats could take away sins.

Keeping Passover: True Christian DO celebrate the Passover of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, as well as all his appointed Feasts and Holy Days.

Stone their own members: Romans 14:4 -- Who are you to judge another's servant? To his own master he stands or falls. Indeed, he will be made to stand, for God is able to make him stand.

Not all Christian's say you must keep the sabbath. Christian's are not under the old law. We could try to keep the sabbath day holy but we should keep every day holy.

Christian's are told to love thy God and love thy neighbor after becoming a Christian that is what we need to do, and we can not justify or condone any sin.

i don't comprehend any SDA pastors that prepare to different denominations on solar days....that would desire to be hypocritcal practices...The SDA denomination is distinctively widely used for adhereing to the fact )God's be conscious and regulation) and BTW, the seventh day Sabbath improve into given by ability of God to us to Honor, Woship and Glorify Him and take relax, some time past in GENESIS, long in the past there have been Jewish peoples, so the on going argument that this might properly be a Jewish day is absurd, and not the fact, yet another ongoing conflict right that's that we honor a "day" that's no longer genuine, any yet yet another conflict right that's the "new convenant", the desciples interior the hot testomony stored the Sabbath Day Holy...God Bless and Please seek for the fact as God tells/instructions us all to do or be decieved...in case you go with to comprehend who actual corrupted and altered God's given Holy Day, please learn the early RCC, for they led and proceed to steer many many off objective:-(

I bet they're grateful no one is going to stone them for mowing their overgrown lawn one Saturday.
