This page is dedicated to The Sabbath Question
We will list articles and scriptures that relate to the
Sabbath (the Seventh Day) and why God commands us to
keep the Sabbath holy. We will also show that God
prophesied that there would be one who would attempt to
change the day to worship Him from Sabbath to another
day.
The Following Protestant Leaders
Have Testified About the Sabbath
or the Fourth Commandment
Baptist:
"There was and is a commandment to keep holy the
Sabbath day, but that Sabbath day was not Sunday. It
will be said, however, and with some show of
triumph, that the Sabbath was transferred from the
seventh to the first day of the week, with all its
duties, privileges, and sanctions. Earnestly
desiring information on this subject, which I have
studied for many years, I ask, where can the record
of such a transaction by found? Not in the New
Testament, absolutely not. There is no
Scriptural evidence of the change of the Sabbath
institution from the seventh to the first day of the
week. Of course, I quite well know that Sunday did
come into use in early Christian history as a
religious day, as we learn from the Christian
fathers and other sources. But what a pity that
it comes branded with the mark of paganism, and
christened with the name of the sun god, when
adopted and sanctioned by the papal apostasy, and
bequeathed as a sacred legacy to Protestantism!"
Dr. Edward T. Hiscox D.D., author of The Baptist
Manual, stated Nov. 13, 1893, at a New York
Minister’s Conference discussing the heated debate
over whether the Chicago World’s Fair should remain
open on Sunday (emphasis added).
Church of Christ:
"There is no direct Scriptural authority for
designating the first day [as] the Lord's day."
Dr. D. H. Lucas, Christian Oracle,
Jan. 23, 1890.
Church of
England:
“Many people think that Sunday is the Sabbath. But
neither in the New Testament nor in the early church
is there anything to suggest that we have any right
to transfer the observance of the seventh day of the
week to the first. The Sabbath was and is Saturday
and not Sunday, and if it were binding on us then we
should observe it on that day, and on no other."
Rev. Lionel Beere, All-Saints Church, Ponsonby, N.Z.
in Church and People, Sept. 1, 1947.
"Is there any command in the New Testament to change
the day of weekly rest from Saturday to Sunday?
None." Manual of Christian
Doctrine, page 127.
Congregational:
"The current notion that Christ and His apostles
authoritatively substituted the first day for the
seventh, is absolutely without any authority in the
New Testament." Dr. Lyman Abbott, Christian
Union, Jan. 18, 1882.
Disciples
of Christ:
"If it [the Sabbath commandment] yet exists, let us
observe it... And if it does not exist, let us
abandon a mock observance of another day for it.
'But,' say some, 'it was changed from the seventh to
the first day.' Where? when? and by whom? - No, it
never was changed, nor could it be, unless creation
was to be gone through again: for the reason
assigned [in Genesis 2:1-3] must be changed before
the observance or respect to the reason, can be
changed. It is all old wives' fables to talk of the
'change of the sabbath' from the seventh to the
first day. If it be changed, it was that august
personage changed it who changes times and laws
ex officio, - I think his name is "Doctor
Antichrist.'" Alexander Campbell, The Christian
Baptist, February 2, 1824, vol 1, no. 7.
Episcopalian:
“The Bible commandment says on the seventh-day thou
shalt rest. That is Saturday. Nowhere in the Bible
is it laid down that worship should be done on
Sunday." Phillip Carrington, quoted in Toronto
Daily Star, Oct 26, 1949.
Lutheran:
"The festival of Sunday, like all other festivals,
was always only a human ordinance." Augustus Neander,
History of the Christian Religion and Church,
Vol. 1, page 186.
"The observance of the Lord's Day (Sunday) is
founded not on any command of God, but on the
authority of the Church." Augsburg Confession of
Faith.
"They [the Roman Catholics] allege the change of the
Sabbath into the Lord's day… and they have no
example more in their mouths than the change of the
Sabbath. They will needs have the Church's power to
be very great, because it hath dispensed with the
precept of the Decalogue." The Augsburg
Confession, 1530 A.D. (Lutheran), part 2, art
7, in Philip Schaff’s The Creeds of Christiandom,
4th Edition, vol 3, p. 64.
Methodist:
“It is true that there is no positive command for
infant baptism. Nor is there any for the keeping of
the first day of the week. Many believe that Christ
changed the Sabbath. But, from His own words [Mat.
5:17-19], we see that He came for no such purpose.
Those who believe that Jesus changed the Sabbath
base it only on a supposition.” Amos Binney,
Theological Compendium, p. 180-181.
"Sabbath in the Hebrew language signifies rest, and
is the seventh day of the week... and it must be
confessed that there is no law in the New Testament
concerning the first day." Charles Buck, A
Theological Dictionary, "Sabbath."
Moody
Bible Institute:
"The Sabbath was binding in Eden, and it has been in
force ever since. This fourth commandment begins
with the word 'remember,' showing that the Sabbath
already existed when God wrote the law on the tables
of stone at Sinai. How can men claim that this one
commandment has been done away with when they will
admit that the other nine are still binding?"- D.L.
Moody, Weighed and Wanting, page 47.
Presbyterian:
"God instituted the Sabbath at the creation of man,
setting apart the seventh day for the purpose, and
imposed its observance as a universal and perpetual
moral obligation upon the race." American
Presbyterian Board of Publication, Tract No.

sabbath day.

layeth hold on it; that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and keepeth his
hand from doing any evil.
(Isa 56:6 KJV) Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the LORD,

own pleasure, nor speaking [thine own] words:

day, neither do ye any work, but hallow ye the sabbath day, as I commanded your
fathers.

saith the LORD, to bring in no burden through the gates of this city on the

(Jer 17:27 KJV) But if ye will not hearken unto me to hallow the sabbath day,
and not to bear a burden, even entering in at the gates of Jerusalem on the
sabbath day; then will I kindle a fire in the gates thereof, and it shall devour
the palaces of Jerusalem, and it shall not be quenched.

be opened, and in the day of the new moon it shall be opened.
(Eze 46:4 KJV) And the burnt offering that the prince shall offer unto the LORD
in the sabbath day [shall be] six lambs without blemish, and a ram without
blemish.
