Since God's Law, expressed in the Ten Commandments, is just as applicable to us today, we are still obligated to keep God's Sabbath holy just as we are obligated not to commit adultery or make graven images. The Sabbath was a creation ordinance (1 day of rest in 7) and has never been undone. It was meerly reissued at the time of the Mosaic law. Since the New Testament indicates that early Christians worshipped together on the first day of the week, we have good reason to move the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday. -- Tom Albrecht Burroughs Corp. ...{presby|psuvax1|sdcrdcf}!burdvax!bnapl
