*** 1AAA The Old Testament gives us TWO lists of the Ten Commandments - one in the Book of Exodus and another list in the Book of Deuteronomy. The Ten Commandments in Deuteronomy 5:15 tells us that the purpose of the Sabbath is to remember the Exodus - that is - the Exodus from slavery to Pharaoh in Egypt. If the purpose of the Sabbath in the Old Covenant is to remember the Exodus from slavery to Pharaoh in Egypt, then the purpose of the Sabbath in the New Covenant is to remember the Exodus Jesus Christ brought about by His death and resurrection. Jesus Christ brought about the true Exodus - the Exodus from sin and death - which the Old Covenant Exodus was only a shadow. Paul tells us in Colossians 2: 16-17, that not only are the "ceremonial laws" a "shadow" but that the Seventh-Day Sabbath is a "shadow" also. Here it is in Paul's Letter to the Colossians 2:16-17 : '16. Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival (that's the annual Jewish feasts), a New Moon celebration (that's the monthly Jewish feasts), or a Sabbath day (that's the weekly Seventh-Day Sabbaths). 17. These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ.' "Shadow" does NOT mean "done away with", it means "transformed". The Old Covenant Passover feast was not "done away with" but was transformed by Christ himself into the Body and Blood of Christ at the Last Supper. The sacrifice of the lamb in the Temple was NOT done away with but transformed into the sacrifice of Christ (the true Lamb) on the Cross. The altar in the Temple was not done away with but transformed into the altar of the wood of the cross. A "shadow" is literally an outline on the ground or wall. A shadow on the ground is not me - I am the real thing - the shadow is only an image, an outline. So too, the "shadow" in the Old Testament has become the reality in Christ at his death and resurrection, which he accomplished on the First-Day of the Week - not on the Seventh-Day of the Week. The Letter to the Hebrews tells us that the New Covenant is greater than the Old Covenant (Heb 8:6) - and that the New Covenant reality is made present in Christ Jesus - while the Old Covenant pointed to something greater to come - the fulfilment of the Old. Jesus Christ, by His death and resurrection, brought about the true Exodus - not from slavery to Pharaoh in Egypt - but the true and real Exodus from slavery to sin and death. That is why Hebrews tells us that there is still a Sabbath day for Christians to keep but that it is On Another Day - that is what Hebrews tells us - the Sabbath is to be kept but kept on Another Day - its right there in Hebrews. Hebrews 4: 8-11, specifically verse 8, shows us its on "another day" For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day. 9 There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; 10 for anyone who enters God’s rest so that no one will perish by following their example of disobedience. In addition - by Christ's resurrection on the First Day of the week - Sunday - Christ has brought about a New Creation - which the New Testament confirms - Christ Jesus IS the New Creation and He IS First-Fruits. There are Sunday Sabbaths in the Old Testament (Lev 23: 9-14) called First-Fruits. God made the Jewish Feast of First-Fruits in the Old Testament to always fall on the Sunday - that is - the Sunday which followed the Saturday Sabbath in the week of Passover week - so Sunday Sabbaths are already given us in the Old Testament - and First-Fruits day is the very day on which Christ rose from the dead following the Passover Last Supper. God had always planned that Christ would rise on the First-Fruits Sunday Sabbath - and Christians obedient to Christ's First-Fruits Sabbath Resurrection - gather every Sunday. Christians celebrate and obey and fulful the requirements of both the Book of Exodus (creation - now a New Creation in Christ Jesus) and the requirements of the Book of Deuteronomy (remembering the Exodus from Egypt - now remembering the true Exodus from slavery to sin and death) by their Sunday celebration of the fulfilment and reality brought about by Christ on the First Day of the week - Sunday. Christians celebrate this on the day of the week Christ accomplished it. In Christ Jesus Christians through Baptism have already entered the heavenly Jerusalem (Heb12:22) and sit with him on his heavenly throne (Eph 2:6) - they already participate in the eternal heavenly rest - and Sunday is a foretaste of that eternal rest - Sunday Mass (and every day of the week when we go to weekday Mass) we enter into that eternal heavenly community of the angles who forever pray and sing "Holy Holy Holy, Lord God of Hosts.." - this is the Mass - this is what the Mass is for - we don't have to wait for death and for heaven after death - we can come to the heavenly hosts and join with them in the eternal praise of God. The Jews in their Sabbath keeping remember the week just past - but we Christians put God first in our week - by bringing everything we are and have, with and for Christ - Christ is the First and the Last - Sunday is the First Day of the week so we gather together to offer and give Him everything - and He gives us Himself - truly present in the Eucharist.
Kenneth Proske OK NAME ALL THE LAWS IN THE BIBLE NOT JUST ONE! FULFILL THEM ALL IF YOU CAN BUT JESUS SAID IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE! LEGALISM NEVER SAVED ANYONE!

Just listening to this “preacher” makes my stomach turn. Yelling and criticizing others is so unkind and accusing others of worshipping the devil is just beyond the pale. I’m not an Adventist but I am a sabbath keeper and I truly appreciate the Pastors gentle and firm rebuttal using the scriptures. I have learned so much from listening to your teachings. Yelling in rage at people and accusing others of believing things that are not true is just so wrong. I cannot even imagine Yahshua treating people that way. Thank you for sharing this.
Amen and amen, dear ones his grac and truth are so merciful and kind that at times I have almost forgotten I was being rebuked, he was so willing to forgive and lead. For his mercy endureth forever.
No. Merely keeping the sabbath is not demonic. Very dishonest wording. What is demonic is saying that sabbath-keeping is mandatory when Scripture explicitly says otherwise (Col. 2:16). What is demonic is condemning Christians who don’t hold to sabbatarianism and telling them how worshipping on Sunday is pagan (it is not). What is demonic is saying how sabbath is the seal of God when the Bible says the Holy Spirit is the true Seal of God (Eph. 4:30).
I recently started keeping the Sabbath on Saturday to the best of my ability (some places I often need to go aren't open on Sunday). My physical and emotional health have improved greatly. God knows what He's doing.
To all my Seventh Day Adventist Christian brothers and sisters,please stand firm,and strong fully grounded and settled in your faith, be steadfast unmoveable. Don't be distracted by every wind of doctrine.
Amen! My grandparents were Seventh Day Adventist...my grandmother would say...don't take my word, study God's word. I thank Lord Jesus for the special people he allows to grace our lives. God bless🙏
My friend, don`t be fooled by him, and don`t be fooled by his false teaching!! As the Bible says: "For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works." 2 Corinthians 11:13-14 Adventism is a FALSE RELIGION, because teaches a different Gospel!! As the Bible says: "But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed." Galatians 1:8-9 Take heed my friend, to the WORD OF GOD!! Repent of your sins and follow the REAL Jesus Christ! The mercy of God is still available to you, now!! Accept it today!!
Then you should watch Nelson Walters he is humble not smug,. But SDA chose this character instead of someone like the people who debated with him about the Sabbath
He has not always been like this. If you watch his sermons done years ago, he is not this calm while mentioning some bashing of the truths (he was still calm enough, though). What I want to say is, he also has been led by the Spirit of God and being changed to be better over the years. It makes me praise God and be hopeful and know that God can do great thing for me, too. He can change me to be better, too. I just have to let Him.
Men like him make me study my bible more because the devil is angry with those who keep the commandments of God and have the faith of Jesus. Friends, what we are about to be up against will require us to cry day and night for God to pour out the latter rain on us. The majority of the christian world has made void the law of God thinking they are doing God a service.
The Sabbath is not binding in the New Covenant. Colossians 2:16 “Therefore, do not let anyone judge you about what you eat and drink or about the observance of a festival or of the new moon or of a sabbath. Those things are a shadow of the things to come, but the body belongs to the Christ.”
@@deus_vult8111 actually what that verse meant was to not let anyone judge you for actually keeping the sabbath. You are just reading it with your mind made up of what has been taught to you over the years.
@@aussieblue7132 Instead of calling me “blissfully unaware” perhaps you can enlighten me as to exactly how I am so. That is, if you have the truth on your side. Otherwise your passive aggressive assertion made without evidence can be dismissed by me without evidence. I thought Aussies were brighter than that m8.
This is one of the most beautiful, dignified defenses of one's belief system that I have ever had the privilege to witness. Pastor Batchelor is a remarkable man.
Thank you Pastor Dough, I was a catholic and was converted to the Bible truth of Sabbath, the 7th day, as God instituted. God bless you more as you continue to calmly tell the truth.

@@chrismason8476 Remain hard-headed but the Sabbaths refers to the Ceremonial Sabbaths which are traditions, Ceremonial Sabbaths are not enforced in the Ten Commandments, yet we know that Paul didn't abolish the Sabbath he guided us to keep the sabbath by him following the sabbath and him telling us to be like him who is like Christ.
Thank you pastor Dough. I came from Sunday worship and didn’t understand anything much from Bible prophecy. After I understand about the Sabbath my brother and I got re-baptized. Praise the Lord only His word still standing.
No. Merely keeping the sabbath is not demonic. Very dishonest wording. What is demonic is saying that sabbath-keeping is mandatory when Scripture explicitly says otherwise (Col. 2:16).

What is demonic is saying how sabbath is the seal of God when the Bible says the Holy Spirit is the true Seal of God (Eph. 4:30).
@@deus_vult8111 There were two categories of sabbath. The context reveals that Col 2:16 is referring to the feast days, not the weekly Sabbath. The feast days were part of the ceremonial law written by man on parchment, and kept outside the ark of the covenant. The weekly Sabbath is on another level: It is one of the ten commandments, written by God on stone and placed inside the ark. You seem to imply that if the holy Spirit is a seal of God, then his moral law cannot contain his seal. But according to 1Jn 3:24 this is not a contradiction, because the Spirit will dwell in those that keep his commandments. A seal is typically a mark signifying the owners 1) name, 2) title and 3) jurisdiction. The 4th commandment covers all three. It is the one commandment that reveals the true identity of the author of the entire decalogue.
@@user-xm4rr1yt6n Colossians 2:16 already mentioned the feast days when it said, “Let no man therefore judge you… in respect of an HOLYDAY, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath…” You are obfuscating Paul’s words to be redundant. The “HOLYDAYS” were ANNUAL celebrations like the Passover, the days of Unleavened Bread, the Feast of Weeks, the Feast of Tabernacles, the Day of Atonement, etc. the Israelites were required to cease working on those special days. The “new moon” were MONTHLY celebrations where the moon was in conjunction with the sun and appeared as a slender crescent in the sky. The “sabbath” in Col. 2:16 is simply referring to the WEEKLY 7th day that Israel had to keep with all the other special days that Leviticus 23 and Numbers 28-29 list. Read Galatians 4:10-11 “Ye observe DAYS, and MONTHS, and TIMES, and YEARS. I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain.” “Days… Months… Times… Years…” (Gal. 4:10) - “Holyday… New Moon… Sabbath…” (Col. 2:16) Paul is listing all of the liturgical days of the Jewish calendar by virtue of their frequency in either ascending or descending order of their occurrence. Annual, Monthly, Weekly. This is a fact even SDA scholars like Samuele Bacchiocchi & Ron DuPreez have admitted. Read Ezekiel 45:17 “And it shall be the prince’s part to give burnt offerings, and meat offerings, and drink offerings, in the FEASTS, and in the NEW MOONS, and in the SABBATHS, in ALL SOLEMNITIES of the house of Israel...” Read 1 Chronicles 23:31 “And to offer all burnt sacrifices unto the LORD in the SABBATHS, in the NEW MOONS, and on the SET FEASTS, by number, according to the order commanded unto them, continually before the LORD:” Read Hosea 2:11 “I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her FEAST DAYS, her NEW MOONS, and her SABBATHS, and ALL her SOLEMN FEASTS.” Read Nehemiah 10:33 “For the shewbread, and for the continual meat offering, and for the continual burnt offering, of the SABBATHS, of the NEW MOONS, for the SET FEASTS, and for the holy things…”
@@user-xm4rr1yt6n “You seem to imply that if the holy Spirit is a seal of God, then his moral law cannot contain his seal.” 👉 The Sabbath is not a moral law. The Sabbath is a Ritual / Ceremonial law just like the feast days and circumcision. Jesus said so himself. Matthew 12:5 “Or have ye not read in the LAW, how that on the SABBATH DAYS the PRIESTS in the TEMPLE PROFANE the SABBATH, and are BLAMELESS?” JESUS says the priests working in the temple on the sabbath are profaning it by working but are blameless! This means temple work takes precedence over the Sabbath! John 7:23 “If a MAN on the SABBATH DAY receive CIRCUMCISION, that the LAW OF MOSES should not be BROKEN; are ye angry at me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the SABBATH DAY?” JESUS also says the work of circumcision is precedence over the Sabbath!!! Everyone recognizes the priestly work in the temple and the act of circumcising a man are both CEREMONIAL and that they supersede the SABBATH. This means the Sabbath is CEREMONIAL and NOT moral!
@@user-xm4rr1yt6n “But according to 1Jn 3:24 this is not a contradiction, because the Spirit will dwell in those that keep his commandments.” 👉 Where did Jesus command us to keep the Sabbath? John 5:18 says Jesus BROKE the SABBATH. And Paul says the weekly Sabbath along with the Monthly New Moons & Annual Feast Days are NOT to be a matter of judgment among believers (Col. 2:16; Rom. 14:5; Gal. 4:10). Let’s examine your final statement: “A seal is typically a mark signifying the owners 1) name, 2) title and 3) jurisdiction. The 4th commandment covers all three. It is the one commandment that reveals the true identity of the author of the entire decalogue.” 👉 This is more man-made logic that came from people like Ellen G. Witch & Uriah Smith and not the Bible. The Bible says the HOLY SPIRIT is the SEAL OF GOD. Where does the “Holy Spirit” denote a name, title, jurisdiction ?? NOWHERE. It’s a made-up list. 👉Just because a Bible verse mentions the name (YHWH), title (Lord) and dominion of God (Heaven/Earth) does not mean that verse is describing the Seal of God. For example, using SDA logic, one could argue that the Torah is the "Seal of God" because it contains this verse: “Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens [is] the LORD'S thy God, the earth [also], with all that therein [is].” (Deut. 10:14) Or one could claim that the prophetic writings of Isaiah or Jeremiah are the "Seal of God" using SDA logic: “O LORD of hosts, God of Israel, that dwellest [between] the cherubims, thou [art] the God, [even] thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth: thou hast made heaven and earth.” (Isa. 37:16) “Ah Lord GOD! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, [and] there is nothing too hard for thee.” (Jer. 32:17) Psalm 146:5-6 “Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God: Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth for ever:” In addition to the Ten Commandments, look at all of the other Bible verses that mention God's name (God), His title (Lord), and His dominion (heaven and earth): Gen. 14:22 “And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up mine hand unto the LORD, the most high God, the possessor of heaven and earth…” Gen. 24:3 “And I will make thee swear by the LORD, the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife unto my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell:” Also Deut. 3:24, Deut. 4:39, Deut. 10:14, Jos. 2:11, 1 Ki. 8:23, 2 Ki. 9:15, 2 Chr. 2:12, 2 Chr. 6:14, Isa. 37:16, Jer. 32:17, Acts 4:24, Acts 17:24. It should now be evident that just because God's name, title, and jurisdiction/dominion appear within a Bible verse does not prove that passage has any particular connection with the Seal of God in the New Testament.
God bless you pastor Doug.. Watching you from India 🇮🇳.. I too face this kind of pastors here... I Praise God for pastors like you who are bringing light to this world.. ❤ Let truth triumph.. 💐🙏
SDA is another sect that takes one part of the bible and ignores others that give a fuller picture -- ""Why do Christians worship on Sunday and not Saturday "" is a great short you tube video that explains why it is better to Worship on Sunday if you are a Christian
I was baptized in the First Baptist Church in 1983 when I was 13 years old. In 2021 I had my eyes opened. I've now been baptized as a Seventh-Day Adventist after understanding the Bible's truth about Sabbath worship. Something I felt I always knew but never knew. The whole,.. those who have ears let them hear, and eyes to see thing, really hit me hard once I realized how blind I had been all my life. I feel renewed! A joy within me has been sealed. My new faith is strong and secure!! This preacher does have an anger within him that tells me he will fall hard if he ever truly sees how blind he has been. I hope his congregation will be able to catch him. Because it'll be a long hard fall alone.
*** 1AAA The Old Testament gives us TWO lists of the Ten Commandments - one in the Book of Exodus and another list in the Book of Deuteronomy. The Ten Commandments in Deuteronomy 5:15 tells us that the purpose of the Sabbath is to remember the Exodus - that is - the Exodus from slavery to Pharaoh in Egypt. If the purpose of the Sabbath in the Old Covenant is to remember the Exodus from slavery to Pharaoh in Egypt, then the purpose of the Sabbath in the New Covenant is to remember the Exodus Jesus Christ brought about by His death and resurrection. Jesus Christ brought about the true Exodus - the Exodus from sin and death - which the Old Covenant Exodus was only a shadow. Paul tells us in Colossians 2: 16-17, that not only are the "ceremonial laws" a "shadow" but that the Seventh-Day Sabbath is a "shadow" also. Here it is in Paul's Letter to the Colossians 2:16-17 : '16. Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival (that's the annual Jewish feasts), a New Moon celebration (that's the monthly Jewish feasts), or a Sabbath day (that's the weekly Seventh-Day Sabbaths). 17. These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ.' "Shadow" does NOT mean "done away with", it means "transformed". The Old Covenant Passover feast was not "done away with" but was transformed by Christ himself into the Body and Blood of Christ at the Last Supper. The sacrifice of the lamb in the Temple was NOT done away with but transformed into the sacrifice of Christ (the true Lamb) on the Cross. The altar in the Temple was not done away with but transformed into the altar of the wood of the cross. A "shadow" is literally an outline on the ground or wall. A shadow on the ground is not me - I am the real thing - the shadow is only an image, an outline. So too, the "shadow" in the Old Testament has become the reality in Christ at his death and resurrection, which he accomplished on the First-Day of the Week - not on the Seventh-Day of the Week. The Letter to the Hebrews tells us that the New Covenant is greater than the Old Covenant (Heb 8:6) - and that the New Covenant reality is made present in Christ Jesus - while the Old Covenant pointed to something greater to come - the fulfilment of the Old. Jesus Christ, by His death and resurrection, brought about the true Exodus - not from slavery to Pharaoh in Egypt - but the true and real Exodus from slavery to sin and death. That is why Hebrews tells us that there is still a Sabbath day for Christians to keep but that it is On Another Day - that is what Hebrews tells us - the Sabbath is to be kept but kept on Another Day - its right there in Hebrews. Hebrews 4: 8-11, specifically verse 8, shows us its on "another day" For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day. 9 There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; 10 for anyone who enters God’s rest so that no one will perish by following their example of disobedience. In addition - by Christ's resurrection on the First Day of the week - Sunday - Christ has brought about a New Creation - which the New Testament confirms - Christ Jesus IS the New Creation and He IS First-Fruits. There are Sunday Sabbaths in the Old Testament (Lev 23: 9-14) called First-Fruits. God made the Jewish Feast of First-Fruits in the Old Testament to always fall on the Sunday - that is - the Sunday which followed the Saturday Sabbath in the week of Passover week - so Sunday Sabbaths are already given us in the Old Testament - and First-Fruits day is the very day on which Christ rose from the dead following the Passover Last Supper. God had always planned that Christ would rise on the First-Fruits Sunday Sabbath - and Christians obedient to Christ's First-Fruits Sabbath Resurrection - gather every Sunday. Christians celebrate and obey and fulful the requirements of both the Book of Exodus (creation - now a New Creation in Christ Jesus) and the requirements of the Book of Deuteronomy (remembering the Exodus from Egypt - now remembering the true Exodus from slavery to sin and death) by their Sunday celebration of the fulfilment and reality brought about by Christ on the First Day of the week - Sunday. Christians celebrate this on the day of the week Christ accomplished it. In Christ Jesus Christians through Baptism have already entered the heavenly Jerusalem (Heb12:22) and sit with him on his heavenly throne (Eph 2:6) - they already participate in the eternal heavenly rest - and Sunday is a foretaste of that eternal rest - Sunday Mass (and every day of the week when we go to weekday Mass) we enter into that eternal heavenly community of the angles who forever pray and sing "Holy Holy Holy, Lord God of Hosts.." - this is the Mass - this is what the Mass is for - we don't have to wait for death and for heaven after death - we can come to the heavenly hosts and join with them in the eternal praise of God. The Jews in their Sabbath keeping remember the week just past - but we Christians put God first in our week - by bringing everything we are and have, with and for Christ - Christ is the First and the Last - Sunday is the First Day of the week so we gather together to offer and give Him everything - and He gives us Himself - truly present in the Eucharist.
I'm not an SDA, but I did an exhaustive concordance study of the Sabbath-Sunday issue years ago. I couldn't find anywhere in the Bible where it says the 7th day Sabbath was changed or abolished. There is also not one verse in the Bible that says we should rest or worship on Sunday, or that we should keep it in honor of the resurrection.
Great...sounds like you did your homework...so I am curious...with a clear concise study with such clarity as you stated...Do you now keep the Biblical Sabbath...the seventh day (saturday)
God's Sabbath and Israel's Sabbath are different. In Genesis Chapter 1 verse 1 - 2 we read, in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was formless and covered with darkness while a mighty wind swept over the waters. Day 1. Then God created light and he separated light from darkness. Day 2. God created a dome that separated the waters below and above. Day 3. God made the dry land appeared. He called the dry land earth and the water the sea. He created the vegetation. Day 4. He created light to separate day and night. He created fixed times, seasons, days and years. He made two great lights to rule the day and the night (sun and moon?). Day 5. Then God created sea creatures, birds Day 6. God created animals, beasts and man. Notice that God's day 1, day 2, day 3 were not depended upon the sunlight or the shadow of the earth that caused our day and night. This is to say, God's day and night are not the same as our day and night which is a 24 hours cycle. In the 10 commandments, God commanded the nation of Israel to keep the Sabbath rest just as he had rested on the 7th day after the completion of his creation. Thus, Israel's Sabbath is just a foreshadow of God's Sabbath. It is just a copy. Now, if we try to keep Israel's Sabbath then it should be from sunset on Friday to sunset on Saturday. However, if we are in Norway, or at the North pole, how will we observe the lengthy Sabbath day during April to August where the sun shines for about half a year? Also, if we claim to observe Israel's Sabbath, then people all over the world especially the so called Sabbath keepers like the Seventh Day Adventists should keep the Sabbath exactly at the same time the Jews in Israel keep their Sabbath. But this will violate the principle of sunset to sunset in other parts of the world, like Norway. Therefore, it is not possible to keep Israel's Sabbath. So far we have seen that Israel's Sabbath and God's Sabbath are different. We have also seen that we can't keep Israel's Sabbath too. But then Christians are the new Israel and Jesus did not come to do away with the law but to fulfill it. So what about the new Sabbath? Jesus said, come to me, all you who are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest. What does this rest mean? Is it the same thing as Paul talked about entering God's rest in Hebrews 4 : 1 - 11? Paul said Israel did not enter into God's rest when they entered into the land of Canaan. That is why Paul further said God spoke of another day to enter into God's rest. Paul then exhorted the Hebrews to enter into that rest the day they hear God's voice without hardening their heart. From this passage, we see that God's rest, or God's Sabbath is not about 7 day cycle but about finding our salvation in Jesus Christ. In the gospel, Jesus said that his Father is always working and likewise he was doing the same. This raises a question of how could God work always but still have his rest on the 7th day? The only logical explanation is that God rested from creating new things but he did not rest from sustaining the things he created already. Thus, every day (24 hours day of our day) is a Sabbath day for God till he the day he creates the new heaven and the new earth. And since we are to keep the new Sabbath, or God's Sabbath, of which Jesus is the Lord of the Sabbath, everyday should be a Sabbath day for us. We have found our rest in Jesus Christ. We don't have to roam restlessly to find rest in Judaism, Islam or Hinduism or Budhism.... We should observe this Sabbath rest till the day we receive our glorified body in heaven.
@@manisymone8622 I make no comments for those who follow Judaism. But for Christians, the rest of the 9 commandments are still valid. Of course, Jesus just raised the standards of those teachings so that we may live according to what God intended. We can read this in Matthew chapter 5 verse 17 to 46. He said, you have heard it in the past, do not murder but I now say to you, do not even get angry with your brother; you have heard it in the past, love your brother but hate your enemies. But now I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you. You have heard it in the past, do not commit adultery. But now I say to you, do not lust for any woman...
Thank you Pastor Doug, you truly are heaven sent to a confused planet. We have to read our bibles more and keep cross referencing the scriptures. That shows that Saturday is and always will be the sabbath. I thank God and my parents for teaching me the truth❤️
No. Merely keeping the sabbath is not demonic. Very dishonest wording. What is demonic is saying that sabbath-keeping is mandatory when Scripture explicitly says otherwise (Col. 2:16). What is demonic is condemning Christians who don’t hold to sabbatarianism and telling them how worshipping on Sunday is pagan (it is not). What is demonic is saying how sabbath is the seal of God when the Bible says the Holy Spirit is the true Seal of God (Eph. 4:30).
I stopped going to church on Sundays, ppl have told me it's the only day the ppl are off to worship. IT's in South America. I need prayers to open their eyes
I belonged to the Presbyterian Church but i love your Biblical teaching @Pastor Doug . I pray that you will lived long till our Lord Jesus Christ come . That Pastor in the clip was intoxicated by the wine of Babilon we pray that Jesus will open his eyes before it's too late . Amen 🙏🙏🙏

Colossians 2:16 directly refutes Doug. “Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.”
@@artgod2890 hi, I have tried to contact you about the GC dramatized audiobook that why is there some words missing or changed? None the less it’s still 🔥

The Jews were angry at gentiles for not keeping the Jewish holidays properly. Some gentile ate only veggies. Some ate only meat. Others ate nothing. Because the Gentiles were not Jews, they did not have to keep the laws of Moses. What was the shadow of "things to come"? The sacrifice of Jesus. Those feasts that pointed TO His sacrifice were NO longer binding after the cross. There are several feast sabbaths---- It is plural--NOT singular.. ..Feats Sabbaths. One occurs in the summer, this is the Feast of Weeks (Shavuot). And four occur in the fall in the seventh month. Feast of Trumpets (Yom Teru'ah) on the first day of the seventh month; the second is the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur); and two during the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot) on the first and last day.
We should worship God any day and everyday. If you wish to worship him on a Saturday, good for you and the other wishes to worship him on a Friday good for him too.
@@sledge387 we should worship Him all days of the week. The sabbath is His day that he sanctified at creation for us to observe and set aside as a memorial to his work. Why would anyone choose another day of the week when he already picked one for us?
Thank you pastor Doug. I became a Sabbath keeper through your Net '99 evangelistic campaign, before that I was always fearful and searching for Truth and found " peace that surpasses all understanding". God has given you true wisdom, one can see how much you love the Scriptures of Truth! "Death before dishonour" to the Lord and His Holy Sabbath is our motto! God bless you all.

@@chrismason8476 Colossians 2:16 uses a plural form of Sabbath in Greek, as opposed to Acts 13:42, which uses a singular form. Therefore, we can conclude that Colossians 2:16 is about the ceremonial Sabbaths and not the weekly Sabbaths. Also, Hebrews 4:8 talks about the “rest” that Joshua gave when the Israelites settled in Canaan. This “rest” isn’t God’s final rest for the readers of Hebrews, since God did in fact speak of another day. As you can see, Hebrews 4 has nothing to do with the Sabbath. Also, Jesus coming back to life on Sunday has nothing to do with the switch to Sunday. Rather, Jesus died on Friday, RESTED on Sabbath, and rose again on Sunday. Death is symbolic or rest here.
@@VortexZauver The Book of Leviticus, Chapter 23, lists the 7 Feasts of Isreal. The seven Feasts fall into three types: yearly, monthly, and weekly - that's it - no other period of time. Paul tells us in Colossians 2: 16-17, that not only are the "ceremonial laws" a "shadow" but that all the Jewish Fessts are a shadow - including the Seventh-Day Sabbath - this is listed by Paul as "shadow". Here it is in Paul's Letter to the Colossians 2:16-17 : '16. Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival (that's the annual Jewish feasts), a New Moon celebration (that's the monthly Jewish feasts), or a Sabbath day (that's the weekly Seventh-Day Sabbaths). 17. These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ." It is clear - the weekly Sabbath is listed as a shadow - the fullness has come in Christ Jesus.
@@chrismason8476 I asked a pastor I know. Here is what he had to say: Sabbath day, the weekly 7th day, instituted at Creation by God. Reaffirmed at Sinai is still in effect. Hebrews 4:9. There remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God. Isa 66 says. We will keep Sabbath in heaven. So there were feast days, like religious holidays that happened 7 times a year, like Passover and feast of tabernacles. Yom kippur. Etc. these pointed forward to Christ. And at the cross met their fulfilment. It was ok to keep hear feast sabbaths, but not necessary, or obligatory for the christian. And one should not judge another about whether to keep them or not. God's lE does not change even as he does not change or altar the things that he says.
@VortexZauver ****1.000 Your pastor is clearly wrong - the context has to include verse 8. That is why Hebrews tells us that there is still a Sabbath day for Christians to keep but that it is On Another Day - that is what Hebrews tells us - the Sabbath is to be kept but kept on Another Day - its right there in Hebrews.

Amen Pastor Doug. For all my life I have struggled on this one doctrine. But I really don't have to anymore. The Word of God is very clear. Everytime I remind myself "GOD" not man, "GOD" rested on the Sabbath and He "Blessed" it. Human preachers who inspired no scripture keep misleading God's people. Jesus said "If you love me keep my commandments!" Keeping 9 and making plausible excuses on the one is very obedient of us, isn't it? Any Holy Spirit led and convicted Christian should know for sure. It's not about been legalistic like the pharisees and saducees. The Peace and Joy of willingly obeying His Word coupled with a personal relationship with Christ is truly a pure and true Christlike identity in the world today. Our God is Good and Faithful. I pray His Holy Spirit continues to convict and lead people out of error and also the unbeliever to Christ.

Paul told us in 1 Corinthians 5:7-8 that Jesus is the Passover Lamb. The Lord’s Supper, therefore, has replaced the Passover. Hebrews 7:27 and other passages declare that man has been once and for all reconciled to God by the death of Christ. Other passages such as Colossians 2:16-17 and Romans 14:5-6 declare that the Old Testament feasts are no longer to be observed: So let no one judge you in food or in drink, or regarding a festival or a new moon or sabbaths, which are a shadow of things to come, but the substance is of Christ (Col. 2:16-17 nkjv). God’s moral law proceeds from the righteousness of God and can never be abolished. The Mosaic Law, as an expression of this moral law, is “passing away” in that it has been superseded by another law, that is, the standard of grace revealed in the New Testament. The believer is now under law to Christ (1 Cor. 9:21; cp. Rom. 8:2-4). Although the Christian is not under the Mosaic Law as a rule of life, some of the Law of Moses is restated in the New Testament-nine of the Ten Commandments are included. The Mosaic Law still constitutes a revelation of the righteousness of God and remains as a part of Scripture which “is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work (2 Tim. 3:16-17 nkjv; cp. Rom. 15:4).
That was excellent! Thank you Pastor Doug. Your calm presence and sound biblical teachings speak volumes. I will share this with many. Thank you for all you do to bring truth to the world. I pray for you often that the Lord continues to watch over you and bless you and you reach souls for Him. Happy Sabbath!

I was raised in the Baptist church. I went to church every week went to youth group and never felt like I knew the Lord. I was taught fire and brimstone that everybody’s going to hell and was forced to watch that horrible movie about the end times when Christians get their heads chopped off. I think every Baptist has to watch that horrible movie nothing against Baptist but I never felt like I ever understood God’s love or what God was actually trying to tell us. I left the church and I prayed for God to show me the truth, and he lead me to the adventist Church, which has transformed my walk with God and I thank the Lord every day for it. And instead of listening to a pastor scream at me about how I’m going to hell I get to learn about scripture and God’s love for each one of us..
As a Charismatic I must say I am embarrassed! Unfortunately this is the large majority of Charismatic preaching today. Thank you Ps Doug for your Chirsitlike response 🙏
No. Merely keeping the sabbath is not demonic. Very dishonest wording. What is demonic is saying that sabbath-keeping is mandatory when Scripture explicitly says otherwise (Col. 2:16). What is demonic is condemning Christians who don’t hold to sabbatarianism and telling them how worshipping on Sunday is pagan (it is not). What is demonic is saying how sabbath is the seal of God when the Bible says the Holy Spirit is the true Seal of God (Eph. 4:30).
@@markbennett7797 I believe the Seventh-day Sabbath was made for Man as Jesus said. I believe in physically and mentally resting on the Seventh-day Sabbath and enjoy God's creation as He set the Sabbath as a memorial of Creation and it is our acknowledgment of God as the Creator. I don't believe keeping the Sabbath is a means for right standing with God. I also don't believe the Sabbath is morally binding on Christians but resting on the Sabbath is a very good Biblical principle to apply to one's weekly routine.
Whenever someone mentions that it doesn't matter what day we worship, there is always stubbornness and impatience in their voice. They don't want a response to their comment. It is as if deep down they know Saturday is the Sabbath day. God bless you Pastor Doug, you sound shaken by that video (so are we) but you responded the way a Christian should. Happy Sabbath!
@@willworkforyarn4893 quote---I usually ask them if the rest of the 10 Commandments also no longer matter!! --unquote What I tell quote this. James 2:10 Whoever keeps the whole law but stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it. By breaking the Sabbath Commandment--they are guilty OF BREAKING ALL the Commandments.
What does it mean for the Sabbath to be made for man and Also if man was made for the sabbath? Think!! The son of man is Lord of the sabbath. What does it mean. It means the sabbath is subject to him (he created it so in it you should see him(he) the real purpose) and not him subjected to the sabbath. Think !! For Christ to say he is Lord of the Sabbath means he is above the Sabbath or the real Sabbath is him . Or he created the sabbath . And he is the real deal of the sabbath. He is the real intent behind the sabbath and why it was created. That there will be a point when we will cease from our works as Gid did cease from his and has rested after creating the new man. The new creation . So if I ask you . Are you the new man or still the man from Adam or of old?? It was communicated to the fathers as a day because they could not fanthom spiritual things . They were babes. The mode of communication to the fathers were a bit soft. Which came first the law or Faith? Is the law of faith ? Faith was before the law. Abraham was justified by faith. Christ and his righteousness was manifested without the law. But witnessed by the law. Keeping the intent of the law. So when we accept the work which Christ has done we have ceased from our own works to please God and have entered and accepted the real sabbath which is Christ . Into ours. So everyday of our lives is a sabbath because we are in Gods rest . Selah The Sabbath days where merely a pointer to where and when or whom our righteousness will show up. Think Hope the veils fall of your eyes. Now if you ask me if i am keeping the rest of the commandments? I will say Yes. I am fulfilling it not to the letter but in spirit. Because it already became a part of me . Inherent or inborn .
Exodus 20 verse 8;; remember the Sabbath day to keep it Holy six days shalt thou Labour and do all thy work but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God in it thou shalt not do any work thou nor thy son nor thy daughter nor thy manservant nor thy maidservant nor thy cattle nor thy stranger that is within thy gates for in six days the Lord made the heaven and earth the sea and all that in them is and rested the seventh day wherefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it

We are starting to see all the traditions of men that we've been blindly following. I know I have and I'm seeing more and more people do the same. When we look at the scriptures for ourselves... and believe them... we start to see a very different "church" of Christ than we've been taught. Yeshua and all his apostles kept the Sabbath. And after the cross they were still keeping it! As did Paul who was sent to the gentiles.

@@thatyoutubespacedude8229 well my understanding is that the Sabbath only became a command in eksodus 20 when Moses descended with the a covenant and that covenant was to run until the seed whom the promises were made to arrive and that seed(Christ) came. That covenant is now obsolete.
If it’s obsolete. Why worship on a Sunday when the Bible never once said to worship on a Sunday. In actuality we don’t actually know when is the real Sabbath. It says 6 days shall us labor and the 7th we rest.
@@LivingMyBestAlways Actually the scriptures never said we should worship on the seventh day or Sabbath. A command given is for keeping the Sabbath not worshipping on the Sabbath. Roman's 12v5 One man esteem one day ove the other and another esteems all days. This scriptures clearly shows us that the day of worship is up to a believer. There are no commands given to new testament saints regarding a day of worship.
Thank you Pastor Doug for defending the Sabbath! and for not letting it pass and for responding in a gentle way… I pray that more people will find out the true meaning of Sabbath (Saturday) and how it is important to God.
You are correct Pastor Doug. When you ask some of these so called Pastors, teachers, preachers, reverends and leaders questions that lead to Christ and truth...the rage does come out. I have seen it and heard it. Sometimes the rages lasts for a long time and they can not let go of it. So sad when this happens. The only thing one can do is give it over to God.

His rant is unfortunate - although the message was based on truth. We are not under the laws of Moses. So why would you pick one to follow in a legalistic manor. Might as well make sure that all males are circumcised then. You can and should worship the Lord everyday - not just the sabbath but it is not a requirement to be in good favour with God.

It's simply because instead of following the Word of God- people would much rather keep church tradition instead.

You need to study the Bible more. Don't let Doug trick you with his good words and fair speeches. He simply took the worst example of a preacher and used it his and Ellen White's advantage.

He who has a ear let him hear Luke 24:47 King James Version 47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. Acts 22:16 King James Version 16 And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord. Acts 2:38-39 King James Version 38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. 39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. Mark 16:15-16 King James Version 15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. 1 Peter 3:21 King James Version 21 The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:
afoyomunguquinto, You have chosen well. Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy are God’s own words to us, and Remember, God will help you to keep all His Commandments through the power of the Holy Spirit working in you🙏🏻. I also officially converted to SDA because they honor God by being obedient to Him, and not to man.
I received Christ as my savior in 2013 -before that, I thought I was a Christian. Christ showed me His grace after years of rebellion, and I saw myself as the sinner I was. He sat me down for months to study His word. I saw Jesus from Genesis to Revelation. I literally felt the words of the Bible palpitate like a heart. Long story short, I don't work on the Sabbath. For every part-time I got hired for since 2021 i said I don't work on Saturdays. I go to church on Sundays. Thru my Bible reading in research, I found a Messianic Jewish congregation, and I still keep in touch with them. I celebrate some of the Jewish holidays with them when I can. I never push the issue with other Christians nor do I think I am better than them for keeping the Sabbath and most wouldn't know i keep it. At this point in my walk, I am not a Baptist, Pentecostal, or any denomination. I have been listening to Pastor Dough for years on and off and a few other preachers as well. This man that was saying the Sabbat is a devil doctrine is very wrong and blasphemed God cause then what would this man call the 10 commandments?? since it talks about the Sabbath. Just because this man holds a microphone and is on a pulpit doesn't make him a Christian or a pastor. I pray this man comes to Christ and repents. So many false pastors and churches now a day with many names. Today more than ever is the responsibility of Christians to pick their BIble read it , and study it every day cause the time of the end of days is here.

This is how we respond to a rant towards us. Pastor Doug illustrated well how to handle such things of accusations from our fellow Christians. Thanks for the example Pastor Doug
Jehovas Witnesses need to accept Jesus Christ as God- the second person of the Godhead, and the Holy Spirit as third Person of the Godhead. They need to accept the seventh day Sabbath that God blessed and hallowed. Then, they will have a lot in common with Seventh Day Adventists.
Greg Locke... I remember some years ago that he committed adultery with a member of his church. He left his wife and children, and married the other woman. I emailed him about his actions. Of course, he never replied. Maybe being an adulterer, could possibly be the reason why he’s against the Ten Commandments. Pastor Doug, you're correct. Such angry is unprecedented! I remember your testimony and Pastor John Lomacang's one too, when searching for the truth about Sabbath and Sunday sacredness. Many Sunday Preachers know the truth and 𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙡𝙮 preach against it, for the exact reasons that Pastor Doug mentioned. May God have mercy on us all. As Adventists, we're no better than anyone else, we just have more light.
Blessings in keeping the Sabbath. Pray for Pastor Doug, may he help guide the seeking believers and current believers to continue to focus on the teachings in the Bible from those that teach from the context of the confused and broken world. Pray for his continued examples and guided Bible based studies.

*** 1AAA The Old Testament gives us TWO lists of the Ten Commandments - one in the Book of Exodus and another list in the Book of Deuteronomy. The Ten Commandments in Deuteronomy 5:15 tells us that the purpose of the Sabbath is to remember the Exodus - that is - the Exodus from slavery to Pharaoh in Egypt. If the purpose of the Sabbath in the Old Covenant is to remember the Exodus from slavery to Pharaoh in Egypt, then the purpose of the Sabbath in the New Covenant is to remember the Exodus Jesus Christ brought about by His death and resurrection. Jesus Christ brought about the true Exodus - the Exodus from sin and death - which the Old Covenant Exodus was only a shadow. Paul tells us in Colossians 2: 16-17, that not only are the "ceremonial laws" a "shadow" but that the Seventh-Day Sabbath is a "shadow" also. Here it is in Paul's Letter to the Colossians 2:16-17 : '16. Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival (that's the annual Jewish feasts), a New Moon celebration (that's the monthly Jewish feasts), or a Sabbath day (that's the weekly Seventh-Day Sabbaths). 17. These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ.' "Shadow" does NOT mean "done away with", it means "transformed". The Old Covenant Passover feast was not "done away with" but was transformed by Christ himself into the Body and Blood of Christ at the Last Supper. The sacrifice of the lamb in the Temple was NOT done away with but transformed into the sacrifice of Christ (the true Lamb) on the Cross. The altar in the Temple was not done away with but transformed into the altar of the wood of the cross. A "shadow" is literally an outline on the ground or wall. A shadow on the ground is not me - I am the real thing - the shadow is only an image, an outline. So too, the "shadow" in the Old Testament has become the reality in Christ at his death and resurrection, which he accomplished on the First-Day of the Week - not on the Seventh-Day of the Week. The Letter to the Hebrews tells us that the New Covenant is greater than the Old Covenant (Heb 8:6) - and that the New Covenant reality is made present in Christ Jesus - while the Old Covenant pointed to something greater to come - the fulfilment of the Old. Jesus Christ, by His death and resurrection, brought about the true Exodus - not from slavery to Pharaoh in Egypt - but the true and real Exodus from slavery to sin and death. That is why Hebrews tells us that there is still a Sabbath day for Christians to keep but that it is On Another Day - that is what Hebrews tells us - the Sabbath is to be kept but kept on Another Day - its right there in Hebrews. Hebrews 4: 8-11, specifically verse 8, shows us its on "another day" For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day. 9 There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; 10 for anyone who enters God’s rest so that no one will perish by following their example of disobedience. In addition - by Christ's resurrection on the First Day of the week - Sunday - Christ has brought about a New Creation - which the New Testament confirms - Christ Jesus IS the New Creation and He IS First-Fruits. There are Sunday Sabbaths in the Old Testament (Lev 23: 9-14) called First-Fruits. God made the Jewish Feast of First-Fruits in the Old Testament to always fall on the Sunday - that is - the Sunday which followed the Saturday Sabbath in the week of Passover week - so Sunday Sabbaths are already given us in the Old Testament - and First-Fruits day is the very day on which Christ rose from the dead following the Passover Last Supper. God had always planned that Christ would rise on the First-Fruits Sunday Sabbath - and Christians obedient to Christ's First-Fruits Sabbath Resurrection - gather every Sunday. Christians celebrate and obey and fulful the requirements of both the Book of Exodus (creation - now a New Creation in Christ Jesus) and the requirements of the Book of Deuteronomy (remembering the Exodus from Egypt - now remembering the true Exodus from slavery to sin and death) by their Sunday celebration of the fulfilment and reality brought about by Christ on the First Day of the week - Sunday. Christians celebrate this on the day of the week Christ accomplished it. In Christ Jesus Christians through Baptism have already entered the heavenly Jerusalem (Heb12:22) and sit with him on his heavenly throne (Eph 2:6) - they already participate in the eternal heavenly rest - and Sunday is a foretaste of that eternal rest - Sunday Mass (and every day of the week when we go to weekday Mass) we enter into that eternal heavenly community of the angles who forever pray and sing "Holy Holy Holy, Lord God of Hosts.." - this is the Mass - this is what the Mass is for - we don't have to wait for death and for heaven after death - we can come to the heavenly hosts and join with them in the eternal praise of God. The Jews in their Sabbath keeping remember the week just past - but we Christians put God first in our week - by bringing everything we are and have, with and for Christ - Christ is the First and the Last - Sunday is the First Day of the week so we gather together to offer and give Him everything - and He gives us Himself - truly present in the Eucharist.

No. Merely keeping the sabbath is not demonic. Very dishonest wording. What is demonic is saying that sabbath-keeping is mandatory when Scripture explicitly says otherwise (Col. 2:16). What is demonic is condemning Christians who don’t hold to sabbatarianism and telling them how worshipping on Sunday is pagan (it is not). What is demonic is saying how sabbath is the seal of God when the Bible says the Holy Spirit is the true Seal of God (Eph. 4:30).
@@deus_vult8111 quote---telling them how worshipping on Sunday is pagan (it is not)--unquote The how about this: Vatican CODEX 3.12.3 (some list as 3.12.2) The Emperor Constantius “All Judges and city people and the craftsmen shall rest upon the venerable Day of the Sun. Country people, however, may freely attend to the cultivation of the fields, because it frequently hap-pens that no other days are better adapted for planting the grain in the furrows or the vines in trenches. So that the advantage given by heavenly providence may not for the occasion of a short time perish. 321 AD.” (quoted from Ayers, 284-285) The first Sunday law in history was passed by Constantine. In the Latin manuscript of this law, the phrase translated as “VENERABLE DAY of the SUN" or "day of the sun” is venerabilis dies solis. Constantine’s decree was based upon honoring and esteeming the celestial body we call the sun. The decree did not honor the Hebrew God or Jesus Christ. Notice that no worship is mentioned; it simply declared a civil day of rest. This law was not designed to mirror the Biblical Sabbath. Notice that farmers were not allowed to take off work on the day. The God of the Holy Bible gave us the Sabbath (Friday sunset to Saturday sunset) as the weekly day of rest for all people, regardless of their occupation. This command extends to farmers in their slow and busy seasons (Ex. 34:21). Codex Theodosianus 8.8.1 Emperors Valentinian and Valens Augustuses to Floria-nus, Governor of Venetia Chapter 3 Sunday Laws (Part 2 of 2) The first four Sunday laws were issued from 321 to as late as 373. Two in 321, one at an unknown date, but certainly after 321, and the last one between 368-373. There would not be another one (that we know of) until 386 AD. From 386 to 425, eleven laws were enacted that governed some sort of Sunday observance (including the annual observance of Pascha on Sunday). The Codex Justinian adds one from 469, bringing the total to twelve laws during a little over sixty years. The sudden increase in Sunday laws, including the usage of the term ‘Lord’s Day’ in them, reflects the merger of the Roman Em-pire with the Roman Church. -------Codex 11.7.13 The same Augustuses (Gratian, Valentinian, and The-odosius Augustuses) to Principius, Praetorian Prefect On the Day of the Sun (Sunday), which our ancestors rightly called the Lord’s Day*, the prosecution of all litigation and ac-tions shall entirely cease. No person shall demand payment of either a public or private debt. There shall be no cognizance of any contention, even before arbitrators, whether these arbitrators be demanded in court of voluntarily chosen. If any person should turn aside from the inspiration and ritual of holy (sanctae) reli-gion (religionis)**, he shall be adjudged not only infamous but also sacrilegious. (Nov. 3, 386) (ibid, 300) *The latin translated as “our ancestors rightly called the Lord’s Day” is quem dominicam rite dixere maiores. Dominicam has come to be known as ‘Lord’s Day’ by this time. Rite means a du-ty according to religious observance. Dixere means called or said and maiores means ancestors or forefathers. The use of the term maiores does not indicate length of time. .................................................... 2. Moreover, We issue the forewarning that no person shall trans-gress Our law which We formerly issued, namely, that no one shall give a spectacle for the people on the DAY of the SUN (Sunday)* or disturb divine worship by holding such celebrations. (May 20, 386; more properly the law belongs to 392-395 AD). (ibid, 432) Things to note about this law: This law only allows judges to take time off to attend amusements when the celebration of the Emper-or’s birthday or anniversary of their rule takes place. *Sunday is not called the Lord’s Day, but by the common pagan name dies solis (Day of the SUN)
@@mitchellosmer1293 You Wrote: “The how about this: Vatican CODEX 3.12.3 (some list as 3.12.2) The Emperor Constantius…” 👉 Christians were observing Sunday as the Lord’s Day for hundreds of years before Emperor Constantine’s Sunday Law in ᴀᴅ 321. Let’s read what Christian authors before Constantine such as the Early Church Fathers said about this topic: St. Ignatius of Antioch (died ~108) “Those who lived according to the old order of things have come to a new hope, no longer keeping the sabbath, but the Lord’s Day, in which our life is blessed by him and by his death.” St. Justin Martyr (100-165) “We all gather on the day of the sun, for it is the first day when God, separating matter from darkness, made the world; and on this same day Jesus Christ our Savior rose from the dead.” The Didache (late-1st century) “But every Lord's Day gather yourselves together, and break bread, and give thanksgiving after having confessed your transgressions, that your sacrifice may be pure.” Tertullian (160-240) “But you, many of you, also under pretence sometimes of worshipping the heavenly bodies, move your lips in the direction of the sunrise. In the same way, if we devote Sunday to rejoicing, from a far different reason than Sun-worship, we have some resemblance to those of you who devote the day of Saturn to ease and luxury, though they too go far away from Jewish ways, of which indeed they are ignorant.” St. Cyprian (200-258) “For because the eighth day, that is, the first day after the Sabbath, was to be that on which the Lord should rise again, and should quicken us, and give us circumcision of the spirit, the eighth day, that is, the first day after the Sabbath, and the Lord’s day, went before in the figure; which figure ceased when by and by the truth came, and spiritual circumcision was given to us.” In Acts 20:7 the early church gathered together to break bread “on the first day of the week”. This custom of honoring the Lord’s Day (Sunday) by celebrating the Eucharist was passed down from the apostles to the bishops who were ordained by them and succeed them in continuing the work of the Great Commission. What did St. Paul tell Timothy? 2 Tim. 2:2 “And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.” 2 Thessalonians 2:15 “Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.” Apostolic Tradition did not die with the Apostles nor is it restricted to only what was written in the Epistles of St. Paul.
The bible sais " I delightith to do thy will o my God" " I keep thy law in my heart I meditate on it day and night" thank God for Doug Batchlor! happy Sabbath all!
The law of grace boils down to one commandment not 600+ not 10 (which is actually the Law of Moses) but one / need a scripture for that? Of course you do because you don’t read scripture for yourself - well here it is : Galatians 5:14 LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOUR For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: "Love your neighbor as yourself”
@@nomorewar4189 Well that was very loving of you neighbor.. you know how intelligent Jesus is when he said "love one another" cause he knew if you were loving one another you wouldn't be killing each other, stealing, coveting, lying etc.. like telling people they don't read their scriptures when they do, lolz. 🙂
@@nomorewar4189 ..so if I hit my finger with the hammer and use the name of God in vain, I am not braking the 4th Commandment? Following your conclusion I am not guilty of braking this commandment. What a fine witnessing if as a Christian I go around using the Lord’s name in vain!

Thank you, Pastor Doug, I love your sermon, but I tended to lose focus when sermons are long in general. As a Seventh-day Adventist, thank you for explaining so concisely with a calm and gentle attitude. This should be heard to as many people as possible. Love it!
Pastor Batchlor a very important text I didn't here you mentioned is, Proverbs 28:9 “If one turns away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer is an abomination.” I use this text to show other Christians how important the keeping of the Sabbath is to God answering our prayers.
Lets Keep The Faith Seventh Day Adventist, What A powerful Insights On Keeping The Sabbath....Be Blessed Pastor Doug. Just Continue To Spread The Three Angels Messages To Four Corners Of The Earth...AMEN
*** 1AAA The Old Testament gives us TWO lists of the Ten Commandments - one in the Book of Exodus and another list in the Book of Deuteronomy. The Ten Commandments in Deuteronomy 5:15 tells us that the purpose of the Sabbath is to remember the Exodus - that is - the Exodus from slavery to Pharaoh in Egypt. If the purpose of the Sabbath in the Old Covenant is to remember the Exodus from slavery to Pharaoh in Egypt, then the purpose of the Sabbath in the New Covenant is to remember the Exodus Jesus Christ brought about by His death and resurrection. Jesus Christ brought about the true Exodus - the Exodus from sin and death - which the Old Covenant Exodus was only a shadow. Paul tells us in Colossians 2: 16-17, that not only are the "ceremonial laws" a "shadow" but that the Seventh-Day Sabbath is a "shadow" also. Here it is in Paul's Letter to the Colossians 2:16-17 : '16. Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival (that's the annual Jewish feasts), a New Moon celebration (that's the monthly Jewish feasts), or a Sabbath day (that's the weekly Seventh-Day Sabbaths). 17. These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ.' "Shadow" does NOT mean "done away with", it means "transformed". The Old Covenant Passover feast was not "done away with" but was transformed by Christ himself into the Body and Blood of Christ at the Last Supper. The sacrifice of the lamb in the Temple was NOT done away with but transformed into the sacrifice of Christ (the true Lamb) on the Cross. The altar in the Temple was not done away with but transformed into the altar of the wood of the cross. A "shadow" is literally an outline on the ground or wall. A shadow on the ground is not me - I am the real thing - the shadow is only an image, an outline. So too, the "shadow" in the Old Testament has become the reality in Christ at his death and resurrection, which he accomplished on the First-Day of the Week - not on the Seventh-Day of the Week. The Letter to the Hebrews tells us that the New Covenant is greater than the Old Covenant (Heb 8:6) - and that the New Covenant reality is made present in Christ Jesus - while the Old Covenant pointed to something greater to come - the fulfilment of the Old. Jesus Christ, by His death and resurrection, brought about the true Exodus - not from slavery to Pharaoh in Egypt - but the true and real Exodus from slavery to sin and death. That is why Hebrews tells us that there is still a Sabbath day for Christians to keep but that it is On Another Day - that is what Hebrews tells us - the Sabbath is to be kept but kept on Another Day - its right there in Hebrews. Hebrews 4: 8-11, specifically verse 8, shows us its on "another day" For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day. 9 There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; 10 for anyone who enters God’s rest so that no one will perish by following their example of disobedience. In addition - by Christ's resurrection on the First Day of the week - Sunday - Christ has brought about a New Creation - which the New Testament confirms - Christ Jesus IS the New Creation and He IS First-Fruits. There are Sunday Sabbaths in the Old Testament (Lev 23: 9-14) called First-Fruits. God made the Jewish Feast of First-Fruits in the Old Testament to always fall on the Sunday - that is - the Sunday which followed the Saturday Sabbath in the week of Passover week - so Sunday Sabbaths are already given us in the Old Testament - and First-Fruits day is the very day on which Christ rose from the dead following the Passover Last Supper. God had always planned that Christ would rise on the First-Fruits Sunday Sabbath - and Christians obedient to Christ's First-Fruits Sabbath Resurrection - gather every Sunday. Christians celebrate and obey and fulful the requirements of both the Book of Exodus (creation - now a New Creation in Christ Jesus) and the requirements of the Book of Deuteronomy (remembering the Exodus from Egypt - now remembering the true Exodus from slavery to sin and death) by their Sunday celebration of the fulfilment and reality brought about by Christ on the First Day of the week - Sunday. Christians celebrate this on the day of the week Christ accomplished it. In Christ Jesus Christians through Baptism have already entered the heavenly Jerusalem (Heb12:22) and sit with him on his heavenly throne (Eph 2:6) - they already participate in the eternal heavenly rest - and Sunday is a foretaste of that eternal rest - Sunday Mass (and every day of the week when we go to weekday Mass) we enter into that eternal heavenly community of the angles who forever pray and sing "Holy Holy Holy, Lord God of Hosts.." - this is the Mass - this is what the Mass is for - we don't have to wait for death and for heaven after death - we can come to the heavenly hosts and join with them in the eternal praise of God. The Jews in their Sabbath keeping remember the week just past - but we Christians put God first in our week - by bringing everything we are and have, with and for Christ - Christ is the First and the Last - Sunday is the First Day of the week so we gather together to offer and give Him everything - and He gives us Himself - truly present in the Eucharist.
16 So don’t let anyone condemn you for what you eat or drink, or for not celebrating certain holy days or new moon ceremonies or Sabbaths. 17 For these rules are only shadows of the reality yet to come. And Christ himself is that reality. Colossians 2:16-17
The 7th day sabbath in the Ten Commandments was not a shadow. It was instituted before sin entered. It was given to man/made for man Mark 2:27 and is not against us. Jesus expected His followers to be keeping the sabbath after His ascension to heaven Matthew 24:20. The feast days were the sabbaths that were a shadow of things to come and pointed to the cross. We do not celebrate feast days anymore. the sabbath in the Ten Commandments is a memorial of Gods creation and will be kept in the new heavens and the new earth. The sabbath is also a memorial of our salvation Duet 5:15 Isaiah 66:22-23 “ ‘For as the new heavens and the new earth which I will make shall remain before Me,’ says the Lord, ‘So shall your descendants and your name remain. And it shall come to pass that from one New Moon to another, and from one Sabbath to another, all flesh shall come to worship before Me,’ says the Lord” Revelation 14:12 shows that Gods people at the end of time who experience the mark of the beast will be keeping His commandments. John 14:15 “if you love Me, keep my commandments” Happy sabbath!
Jesus also said: “Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill.” (Matt 5:17) And He said to them, “The Sabbath was made for MAN.” (Mark 2:27) Also: “Therefore the Son of Man is Lord also of the Sabbath.” (Mark 2:28) And another, “In vain do they worship Me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.” (Mark 7:7) One more, “Full well you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your own tradition.” (Mark 7:9) It helps to put THE TRUTH out there!!! LOVE AND BLESSINGS Y’ALL ❤❤❤🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thank you pastor...when I go through Bible I can find only the importance of Sabbath .from Genesis to revelation keeping God's commandments is explained . It's a great blessing to understand the truth and following it .....Amen

Thank you Pr Doug for speaking up. You spoke eloquently and with a calm manner. You truly showed Christ’s character. Thank you for advocating on our behalf!
Truth is powerful when we know the word of God! Very well explained pastor Batchelor. I pray this pastor comes to know the truth. We are saved by Grace. And if we love Christ we will keep his 10 commandments. Always in our prayers 🙏.

Praise GOD I never stepped foot in that place. And I have been in many Church's. Now I have found a home in the teachings of Pastor Doug. Without the RAGE.

Pastor Doug, thank you for having the unbridled courage to address this head on. I wish more of our pastors would be more outspoken, especially during these trying times. As usual, you made the topic and the lesson as clear as spring water. I hope that this prevents some from being mislead. May God continue to bless you in all things. I do wish your audience showed a bit more vigor and zeal. Nothing in our church doctrine says that we have to sit motionless with stoic expressions during worship.

God made the Jewish Feast of First-Fruits in the Old Testament to always fall on the Sunday - that is - the Sunday which followed the Saturday Sabbath in the week of Passover week - so Sunday Sabbaths are already given us in the Old Testament - and First-Fruits day is the very day on which Christ rose from the dead following the Passover Last Supper. God had always planned that Christ would rise on the First-Fruits Sunday Sabbath - and Christians obedient to Christ's First-Fruits Sabbath Resurrection - gather every Sunday. Christians celebrate and obey and fulful the requirements of both the Book of Exodus (creation - now a New Creation in Christ Jesus) and the requirements of the Book of Deuteronomy (remembering the Exodus from Egypt - now remembering the true Exodus from slavery to sin and death) by their Sunday celebration of the fulfilment and reality brought about by Christ on the First Day of the week - Sunday. Christians celebrate this on the day of the week Christ accomplished it. In Christ Jesus Christians through Baptism have already entered the heavenly Jerusalem (Heb12:22) and sit with him on his heavenly throne (Eph 2:6) - they already participate in the eternal heavenly rest - and Sunday is a foretaste of that eternal rest - Sunday Mass (and every day of the week when we go to weekday Mass) we enter into that eternal heavenly community of the angles who forever pray and sing "Holy Holy Holy, Lord God of Hosts.." - this is the Mass - this is what the Mass is for - we don't have to wait for death and for heaven after death - we can come to the heavenly hosts and join with them in the eternal praise of God. The Jews in their Sabbath keeping remember the week just past - but we Christians put God first in our week - by bringing everything we are and have, with and for Christ - Christ is the First and the Last - Sunday is the First Day of the week so we gather together to offer and give Him everything - and He gives us Himself - truly present in the Eucharist.
So thankful your ministry that continues to churn out solid Bible points in CALM Logical Reasonable manner (especially seeing the difference between your calm presentation versus the vid clips ...) 🙌
Thank you for defending the truth of the Sabbath and all of the commandments. We must pray for that pastor who clearly doesn't have an understanding of the Word of God.
Thank you so much pastor i'm just only 18yrs of age and i pass out my high school from a catholic school as we didn't have an adventist school in and near our locality so i face a lot of partiality as i'm an adventist and heard a lot of criticism and everytime they saw me all they talk to me is criticizing me for being an adventist and even our school principal (a priest) came to me telling me that adventist is wrong but the truth is always the truth so i just tell him few bible verses about Sabbath but a funny part about it is that he didn't know even the meaning of Sabbath he told me that Sabbath is a feast where large crowd came together and celebrate together Many people are talking ill of adventist but as an adventist let us be strong and go through all the storms of life we are facing as an adventist and let us wait for his second coming with prayer 🥰🥰
Jangmeilu Stay strong! Holy Cow, you’re in the lions den!! I have worked in the Catholic schools… keep your guard up… that double talking priest played you, he knows what the sabbath is… he’s educated, and works for the diocese.🤷🏻♀️🙏😉 Feed yourself the true words as often as you get a chance, so you’re ready for attacks on your belief system. You’ll be undoing the spiritual abuse, things you’re participating in, in your mind, for years to come. I seriously remember double praying during the Hail Marys… telling God how sickening it was that this is being said instead of prayers straight to Jesus.🤷🏻♀️😂🤣 I’ll think of you, and pray you are used to bring one more to Christ… that your soul is protected from spiritual abuse, and that you graduate soon. God be with you and your precious soul…🥰🙏 Michelle~
@jangmeilu9812 ! Matthew 5:10-12 (10)Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. (11)Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. (12)Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
Unless I have errands to run (in a relaxed way),or my job requires me, I gratefully rest on Saturday and go to church on Sunday to kick off my week's work.
I will have these questions for Past Doug Does God kill ? Does God tempt If your God does this things then you haven’t read your bible well enough. You know nothing about God
What does it mean for the Sabbath to be made for man and Also if man was made for the sabbath? Think!! The son of man is Lord of the sabbath. What does it mean. It means the sabbath is subject to him (he created it so in it you should see him(he) the real purpose) and not him subjected to the sabbath. Think !! For Christ to say he is Lord of the Sabbath means he is above the Sabbath or the real Sabbath is him . Or he created the sabbath . And he is the real deal of the sabbath. He is the real intent behind the sabbath and why it was created. That there will be a point when we will cease from our works as Gid did cease from his and has rested after creating the new man. The new creation . So if I ask you . Are you the new man or still the man from Adam or of old?? It was communicated to the fathers as a day because they could not fanthom spiritual things . They were babes. The mode of communication to the fathers were a bit soft. Which came first the law or Faith? Is the law of faith ? Faith was before the law. Abraham was justified by faith. Christ and his righteousness was manifested without the law. But witnessed by the law. Keeping the intent of the law. So when we accept the work which Christ has done we have ceased from our own works to please God and have entered and accepted the real sabbath which is Christ . Into ours. So everyday of our lives is a sabbath because we are in Gods rest . Selah The Sabbath days where merely a pointer to where and when or whom our righteousness will show up. Think Hope the veils fall of your eyes. Now if you ask me if i am keeping the rest of the commandments? I will say Yes. I am fulfilling it not to the letter but in spirit. Because it already became a part of me . Inherent or inborn .
SDA is another sect that takes one part of the bible and ignores others that give a fuller picture -- ""Why do Christians worship on Sunday and not Saturday "" is a great short you tube video that explains why it is better to Worship on Sunday if you are a Christian
Praise the LORD! It is refreshing to see a calm defence of the truth. To still give them respect even when correcting them. We truly wrestle not against flesh and blood. I pray and wish that this gentleman and others who have the same belief could watch this video. Let's pray that God pours out a fresh anointing of the oil of The Holy Spirit on him and all of us too.
BLESSINGS PASTOR AND EVERYONE IN THIS VIDEO IM SO HAPPY TO SEE THE AUTHOR OF COSMIC BATTLE AFTER 7 YEARS I WATHED IT ON DVD , I BELIEVE IN KEEPING THE SABATH DAY EVEN I WAS RAISED PENTECOSTAL AND BEEN WITH THE APOSTOLICS , SALUDOS DESDE TIJUANA
*** 1 The Old Testament gives us TWO lists of the Ten Commandments - one in the Book of Exodus and another list in the Book of Deuteronomy. The Ten Commandments in Deuteronomy 5:15 tells us that the purpose of the Sabbath is to remember the Exodus - that is - the Exodus from slavery to Pharaoh in Egypt. If the purpose of the Sabbath in the Old Covenant is to remember the Exodus from slavery to Pharaoh in Egypt, then the purpose of the Sabbath in the New Covenant is to remember the Exodus Jesus Christ brought about by His death and resurrection. Jesus Christ brought about the true Exodus - the Exodus from sin and death - which the Old Covenant Exodus was only a shadow. Paul tells us in Colossians 2: 16-17, that not only are the "ceremonial laws" a "shadow" but that the Seventh-Day Sabbath is a "shadow" also. Here it is in Paul's Letter to the Colossians 2:16-17 : '16. Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival (that's the annual Jewish feasts), a New Moon celebration (that's the monthly Jewish feasts), or a Sabbath day (that's the weekly Seventh-Day Sabbaths). 17. These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ.' "Shadow" does NOT mean "done away with", it means "transformed". The Old Covenant Passover feast was not "done away with" but was transformed by Christ himself into the Body and Blood of Christ at the Last Supper. The sacrifice of the lamb in the Temple was NOT done away with but transformed into the sacrifice of Christ (the true Lamb) on the Cross. The altar in the Temple was not done away with but transformed into the altar of the wood of the cross. A "shadow" is literally an outline on the ground or wall. A shadow on the ground is not me - I am the real thing - the shadow is only an image, an outline. So too, the "shadow" in the Old Testament has become the reality in Christ at his death and resurrection, which he accomplished on the First-Day of the Week - not on the Seventh-Day of the Week. The Letter to the Hebrews tells us that the New Covenant is greater than the Old Covenant (Heb 8:6) - and that the New Covenant reality is made present in Christ Jesus - while the Old Covenant pointed to something greater to come - the fulfilment of the Old. Jesus Christ, by His death and resurrection, brought about the true Exodus - not from slavery to Pharaoh in Egypt - but the true and real Exodus from slavery to sin and death. That is why Hebrews tells us that there is still a Sabbath day for Christians to keep but that it is On Another Day - that is what Hebrews tells us - the Sabbath is to be kept but kept on Another Day - its right there in Hebrews. Hebrews 4: 8-11, specifically verse 8, shows us its on "another day" For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day. 9 There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; 10 for anyone who enters God’s rest so that no one will perish by following their example of disobedience. In addition - by Christ's resurrection on the First Day of the week - Sunday - Christ has brought about a New Creation - which the New Testament confirms - Christ Jesus IS the New Creation and He IS First-Fruits. There are Sunday Sabbaths in the Old Testament (Lev 23: 9-14) called First-Fruits.

Thank you Pastor, I been an Adventist my whole adult life everything God says is true Praise his Holy Name and HAPPY SABBATH always. The Lord says that in the last days things would be like this and it will get worst everything YAH saids is true and we see this behavior more and more the closer the time running out.
The vehemence of this speaker who had no Bible open before him or in his hand was pretty astonishing. Very disturbing spirit of delivery. He needs prayer, profound prayer, pitiful state and that of his listeners cheering and clapping. 😔
Love this pastor wish he was in New Braunfels, I would go visit his church. What is even more brilliant about this pastor is his way of addressing the the other pastor's remarks, without judgment without criticism and spoke only the truth of God, he didn't speak his point of view he addressed it with God's truth, well spoken and obliterated it with the calmness and truth of Christ Jesus👏
Amen and amen. God bless those who seek the truth and thank God for pastors like Doug Batchelor who cares not just for his members but most importantly for the truth to be broadcasted
Praise God! Thank you Pastor Doug Batchelor for FAITHFULLY sharing and teaching God's truth to us and the world. May God's richest blessings continue to fall abundantly upon Amazing Facts, and all His servants that teach His truth with clear evidence, to everyone. Not only on the Sabbath, but every day. Happy Sabbath.
❤️Micah 6:8❤️ He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God
One or two scripture verses won’t give us what we need to know how God wants us to live. “Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts. For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:” Isaiah 28:9-10 KJV We have to take some from one scripture to the next to get clear understanding of how we should honor God in our daily lives. The scriptures read when we obey God then we are his people and he will be our God. The Bible is instruction on how we should live we can’t pick out what we chose to live by and think we will be In his kingdom
@@sandrakennion8856 I don't like to comment but since you gave a Bible verse, please read Ur entire bible and you will see there is no commandment that says you can now lie , murder and commit adultery therefore if the 9 commandments are still relevent why would you imagine the 4 th is not .. without any scriptural evidence..I urge u read hebrews all of it you will get a great blessing u will see Christ ministering for you in havenly places his unchanging law that governs the entire universe..❤️take care
@@tumelomolwantwa5613 Exodus 35:1-3 they were put to death if they did any work on a Saturday. But we Gentiles are not under this covenant, this was for the Jews in the Old Testament Law. We are under Grace. So that is why Jesus is now our rest as he explaines in Hebrews 4: 1-12 God Bless
Keeping the Sabbath for two weeks in a row. A little step yet took the first step and I pray God that I can keep all His commendments out of love, joy and happiness.
We are all under the law of God. That preacher that said he is not under the law is totally wrong. He needs to read his Bible more. I go to church on Saturday. It's the true Sabbath. Jesus kept the Sabbath. He was our example and he showed us the right things to do and he showed us the true Sabbath. I believe to worship every day, but, the day of rest is the Saturday Sabbath. The Sabbath is not demonic. Those that keep Sunday are being mislead and they don't even know it. We should pray for those people. Pastor Doug I'm so glad you talked about this today because people need to know the truth.
Wonder where Pastor Doug heard someone say that??? And did he speak up???👍👍Love ya Pastor Doug. My questions answered, thank you Pastor Doug! Can't wait for Sabbath School & Church tomorrow.
Look at all the beautiful work so many Sunday churches do in their communities! Look at the Dream Center in LA ! Look at all the great ministry Dr. Jack Hayford and the Church on the Way have done for over 60 years in Van Nuys, CA.....Jesus said this ...where 2 or more are gathered together in His Name,, He's in the midst! On every day! True worshippers, worship in Spirit and Truth! Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever!
I am not a 7th day Adventist but often attend Saturday services in a small Adventist Church because after the pastor commences preaching there is a question and answer session where the members of the congregation may ask questions about the preacher's sermon. In these "Q & A Sessions" I found no discrepancies with my Charistmatic beliefs and am presently trying to bring the various Christian segments together by stressing the similarities between the various sections especially on the dogma of The TRINITY which is really a turning back to GOD CREATING man/Adam in HIS LIKENES which in 1 Thessalonians 5:23 is spirit, soul and body
Dear Father in Heaven, I present to you Crystal and her grandma. I don't know what is happening, what the situation is but I know that You are all knowing and I know You care. I ask that You intervene in their lives and bring about the change and grant the help that they need. Surround them with an atmosphere of light and peace. I ask that Your will be carried out because of Your promise in Jeremiah 29:11. Forgive us of our sins. This I ask in the mighty and wonderful name of Jesus. Amen.
We love you pastor Doug. And we praise God for the ministry the Lord has put you in. Christ has been lifted up and drawn me to Him from your ministry. Many blessings to you and those who hear you. ❤
Thank you pastor Batchelor, i came from a Sunday background, i always follow your teaching well presented with biblical evidence, my Sunday pastor will one day judge for his or her action.
THANK YOU PASTOR DOUGH , FOR PREACHING THE SABBATH , BECAUSE IT IS THE HOLY REST DAY FOR THE LORD . EXODUS 20.8 . GREETINGS FROM MOUNT HAGEN . PAPUA NEW GUINEA .
I try to shed light about the Sabbath whenever I get a chance and see the opportunity. And many times it is devout church goers or prideful people who reject the truth. I don’t even engage in argument with any1 once I can tell they are not interested in what is true. it’s a very sad experience.. it’s almost mind boggling… sometimes I wonder if I wasn’t brought up SDA would I receive it once it were presented to me? . . Sometimes I cry thinking about how broken hearted my Lord & Captain are. . can’t wait to hug my savior and thank him w 1,000 kisses

I'm very thankful to God for the sweet prophecy...that seventh day Adventist have been privileged and Blessed!!!! To have from His Most Holy Word!!! Truth Will prevail....All Truth and if You are seventh day Adventist!!! Praise Our God cause the Understanding of Daniel & Revelation!!! And the whole Bible Gen..to Rev...is miraculous....so I'm grateful to The Father The Son and Holy Spirit!!! So if You are A Christian SDA...than Praise Him every day God Bless Pastors like pastor Doug
@@Mfield111 you sound like a member of a cult. One can praise God for what God has done to save the human race. But to praise the SDA or any other denomination is a clear sign of brainwashing. Besides, SDA do not understand the book of Daniel, neither Revelation. You don't understand the Sanctuary services, Leviticus, Hebrews. Not even Romans. There's so much in the Bible than what SDA teaches. Praise God for Scripture! Praise God for Jesus Christ! Praise God for His love for us! I will never praise a man or a man made denomination. And I don't care if you are a SDA or not. I will praise God with everyone who praises God too. God bless!
I have been keeping the Sabbath for two years now. It has been a true blessing and I have grown so much in my walk with Abba Father.
Amen!

The Old Testament gives us TWO lists of the Ten Commandments - one in the Book of Exodus and another list in the Book of Deuteronomy.
The Ten Commandments in Deuteronomy 5:15 tells us that the purpose of the Sabbath is to remember the Exodus - that is - the Exodus from slavery to Pharaoh in Egypt. If the purpose of the Sabbath in the Old Covenant is to remember the Exodus from slavery to Pharaoh in Egypt, then the purpose of the Sabbath in the New Covenant is to remember the Exodus Jesus Christ brought about by His death and resurrection.
Jesus Christ brought about the true Exodus - the Exodus from sin and death - which the Old Covenant Exodus was only a shadow.
Paul tells us in Colossians 2: 16-17, that not only are the "ceremonial laws" a "shadow" but that the Seventh-Day Sabbath is a "shadow" also.
Here it is in Paul's Letter to the Colossians 2:16-17 :
'16. Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival (that's the annual Jewish feasts), a New Moon celebration (that's the monthly Jewish feasts), or a Sabbath day (that's the weekly Seventh-Day Sabbaths). 17. These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ.'
"Shadow" does NOT mean "done away with", it means "transformed". The Old Covenant Passover feast was not "done away with" but was transformed by Christ himself into the Body and Blood of Christ at the Last Supper.
The sacrifice of the lamb in the Temple was NOT done away with but transformed into the sacrifice of Christ (the true Lamb) on the Cross. The altar in the Temple was not done away with but transformed into the altar of the wood of the cross.
A "shadow" is literally an outline on the ground or wall. A shadow on the ground is not me - I am the real thing - the shadow is only an image, an outline. So too, the "shadow" in the Old Testament has become the reality in Christ at his death and resurrection, which he accomplished on the First-Day of the Week - not on the Seventh-Day of the Week.

Jesus Christ, by His death and resurrection, brought about the true Exodus - not from slavery to Pharaoh in Egypt - but the true and real Exodus from slavery to sin and death.
That is why Hebrews tells us that there is still a Sabbath day for Christians to keep but that it is On Another Day - that is what Hebrews tells us - the Sabbath is to be kept but kept on Another Day - its right there in Hebrews.
Hebrews 4: 8-11, specifically verse 8, shows us its on "another day"
For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day. 9 There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; 10 for anyone who enters God’s rest so that no one will perish by following their example of disobedience.
In addition - by Christ's resurrection on the First Day of the week - Sunday - Christ has brought about a New Creation - which the New Testament confirms - Christ Jesus IS the New Creation and He IS First-Fruits.
There are Sunday Sabbaths in the Old Testament (Lev 23: 9-14) called First-Fruits. God made the Jewish Feast of First-Fruits in the Old Testament to always fall on the Sunday - that is - the Sunday which followed the Saturday Sabbath in the week of Passover week - so Sunday Sabbaths are already given us in the Old Testament - and First-Fruits day is the very day on which Christ rose from the dead following the Passover Last Supper.
God had always planned that Christ would rise on the First-Fruits Sunday Sabbath - and Christians obedient to Christ's First-Fruits Sabbath Resurrection - gather every Sunday.
Christians celebrate and obey and fulful the requirements of both the Book of Exodus (creation - now a New Creation in Christ Jesus) and the requirements of the Book of Deuteronomy (remembering the Exodus from Egypt - now remembering the true Exodus from slavery to sin and death) by their Sunday celebration of the fulfilment and reality brought about by Christ on the First Day of the week - Sunday. Christians celebrate this on the day of the week Christ accomplished it.
In Christ Jesus Christians through Baptism have already entered the heavenly Jerusalem (Heb12:22) and sit with him on his heavenly throne (Eph 2:6) - they already participate in the eternal heavenly rest - and Sunday is a foretaste of that eternal rest - Sunday Mass (and every day of the week when we go to weekday Mass) we enter into that eternal heavenly community of the angles who forever pray and sing "Holy Holy Holy, Lord God of Hosts.." - this is the Mass - this is what the Mass is for - we don't have to wait for death and for heaven after death - we can come to the heavenly hosts and join with them in the eternal praise of God.
The Jews in their Sabbath keeping remember the week just past - but we Christians put God first in our week - by bringing everything we are and have, with and for Christ - Christ is the First and the Last - Sunday is the First Day of the week so we gather together to offer and give Him everything - and He gives us Himself - truly present in the Eucharist.

from doing your pleasure on MY HOLY DAY,
and call the Sabbath a delight
and the HOLY DAY of the Lord honorable;
if you honor it, not going your own ways,
or seeking your own pleasure, or talking idly;
14 then you shall take delight in the Lord,
and I will make you ride upon the heights of the earth;
I will feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father,
for the mouth of the Lord has spoken.”

Adventists don't keep the Sabbath, they just SAY they do.
Just listening to this “preacher” makes my stomach turn. Yelling and criticizing others is so unkind and accusing others of worshipping the devil is just beyond the pale. I’m not an Adventist but I am a sabbath keeper and I truly appreciate the Pastors gentle and firm rebuttal using the scriptures. I have learned so much from listening to your teachings. Yelling in rage at people and accusing others of believing things that are not true is just so wrong. I cannot even imagine Yahshua treating people that way. Thank you for sharing this.
Jesus would never rant like that and with so much anger. Jesus should be our example, gentle, kind but truthful preaching 🙏🏼
Happy Sabbath 🙏
Amen and amen, dear ones his grac and truth are so merciful and kind that at times I have almost forgotten I was being rebuked, he was so willing to forgive and lead. For his mercy endureth forever.
the "sabbath" can be demonic if ur purpose is to scam people.
No. Merely keeping the sabbath is not demonic. Very dishonest wording. What is demonic is saying that sabbath-keeping is mandatory when Scripture explicitly says otherwise (Col. 2:16).
What is demonic is condemning Christians who don’t hold to sabbatarianism and telling them how worshipping on Sunday is pagan (it is not). What is demonic is saying how sabbath is the seal of God when the Bible says the Holy Spirit is the true Seal of God (Eph. 4:30).
I recently started keeping the Sabbath on Saturday to the best of my ability (some places I often need to go aren't open on Sunday). My physical and emotional health have improved greatly. God knows what He's doing.
To all my Seventh Day Adventist Christian brothers and sisters,please
stand firm,and strong fully grounded and settled in your faith, be steadfast
unmoveable. Don't be distracted by every wind of doctrine.
That's very true
❤😅0😂🎉
With the help of the Holy Spirit , I intend to
Amen! My grandparents were Seventh Day Adventist...my grandmother would say...don't take my word, study God's word. I thank Lord Jesus for the special people he allows to grace our lives. God bless🙏
So be unmoveable and firm in Adventism even if it contradicts the word of God??? Wow... so loyal to dogma and not the Bible. No Thank you!
I love how calm and peaceable pastor Doug is.
My friend, don`t be fooled by him, and don`t be fooled by his false teaching!! As the Bible says:
"For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works." 2 Corinthians 11:13-14
Adventism is a FALSE RELIGION, because teaches a different Gospel!! As the Bible says:
"But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed." Galatians 1:8-9
Take heed my friend, to the WORD OF GOD!! Repent of your sins and follow the REAL Jesus Christ! The mercy of God is still available to you, now!! Accept it today!!
Then you should watch Nelson Walters he is humble not smug,. But SDA chose this character instead of someone like the people who debated with him about the Sabbath
@@07silvali Please be specific. What (other) gospel does Adventism teach?
He has not always been like this. If you watch his sermons done years ago, he is not this calm while mentioning some bashing of the truths (he was still calm enough, though). What I want to say is, he also has been led by the Spirit of God and being changed to be better over the years. It makes me praise God and be hopeful and know that God can do great thing for me, too. He can change me to be better, too. I just have to let Him.
@@Vickiehou yes people get better at concealing how they feel over time and with enough practice
Men like him make me study my bible more because the devil is angry with those who keep the commandments of God and have the faith of Jesus. Friends, what we are about to be up against will require us to cry day and night for God to pour out the latter rain on us. The majority of the christian world has made void the law of God thinking they are doing God a service.
The Sabbath is not binding in the New Covenant.
Colossians 2:16
“Therefore, do not let anyone judge you about what you eat and drink or about the observance of a festival or of the new moon or of a sabbath. Those things are a shadow of the things to come, but the body belongs to the Christ.”
@@deus_vult8111You really don’t know what your talking about and you are blissfully unaware , I pray that the Holy Spirit opens your eyes.
@@deus_vult8111 actually what that verse meant was to not let anyone judge you for actually keeping the sabbath. You are just reading it with your mind made up of what has been taught to you over the years.
When you are in the shadow of something you are closer to the original. So being in the shadow is not a negative.
@@aussieblue7132 Instead of calling me “blissfully unaware” perhaps you can enlighten me as to exactly how I am so. That is, if you have the truth on your side. Otherwise your passive aggressive assertion made without evidence can be dismissed by me without evidence. I thought Aussies were brighter than that m8.
This is one of the most beautiful, dignified defenses of one's belief system that I have ever had the privilege to witness. Pastor Batchelor is a remarkable man.

Jesus's kept the Sabbath when He was here earth and Jesus's says in Matthew 5:17 :18 19
Thank you Pastor Dough, I was a catholic and was converted to the Bible truth of Sabbath, the 7th day, as God instituted. God bless you more as you continue to calmly tell the truth.
Beautiful Testimony, continue to listen and not be deceived by the world.

The Old Testament gives us TWO lists of the Ten Commandments - one in the Book of Exodus and another list in the Book of Deuteronomy.
The Ten Commandments in Deuteronomy 5:15 tells us that the purpose of the Sabbath is to remember the Exodus - that is - the Exodus from slavery to Pharaoh in Egypt. If the purpose of the Sabbath in the Old Covenant is to remember the Exodus from slavery to Pharaoh in Egypt, then the purpose of the Sabbath in the New Covenant is to remember the Exodus Jesus Christ brought about by His death and resurrection.
Jesus Christ brought about the true Exodus - the Exodus from sin and death - which the Old Covenant Exodus was only a shadow.
Paul tells us in Colossians 2: 16-17, that not only are the "ceremonial laws" a "shadow" but that the Seventh-Day Sabbath is a "shadow" also.
Here it is in Paul's Letter to the Colossians 2:16-17 :
'16. Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival (that's the annual Jewish feasts), a New Moon celebration (that's the monthly Jewish feasts), or a Sabbath day (that's the weekly Seventh-Day Sabbaths). 17. These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ.'
"Shadow" does NOT mean "done away with", it means "transformed". The Old Covenant Passover feast was not "done away with" but was transformed by Christ himself into the Body and Blood of Christ at the Last Supper.
The sacrifice of the lamb in the Temple was NOT done away with but transformed into the sacrifice of Christ (the true Lamb) on the Cross. The altar in the Temple was not done away with but transformed into the altar of the wood of the cross.
A "shadow" is literally an outline on the ground or wall. A shadow on the ground is not me - I am the real thing - the shadow is only an image, an outline. So too, the "shadow" in the Old Testament has become the reality in Christ at his death and resurrection, which he accomplished on the First-Day of the Week - not on the Seventh-Day of the Week.
The Letter to the Hebrews tells us that the New Covenant is greater than the Old Covenant (Heb 8:6) - and that the New Covenant reality is made present in Christ Jesus - while the Old Covenant pointed to something greater to come - the fulfilment of the Old. Jesus Christ, by His death and resurrection, brought about the true Exodus - not from slavery to Pharaoh in Egypt - but the true and real Exodus from slavery to sin and death.
That is why Hebrews tells us that there is still a Sabbath day for Christians to keep but that it is On Another Day - that is what Hebrews tells us - the Sabbath is to be kept but kept on Another Day - its right there in Hebrews.
Hebrews 4: 8-11, specifically verse 8, shows us its on "another day"
For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day. 9 There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; 10 for anyone who enters God’s rest so that no one will perish by following their example of disobedience.
In addition - by Christ's resurrection on the First Day of the week - Sunday - Christ has brought about a New Creation - which the New Testament confirms - Christ Jesus IS the New Creation and He IS First-Fruits.
There are Sunday Sabbaths in the Old Testament (Lev 23: 9-14) called First-Fruits. God made the Jewish Feast of First-Fruits in the Old Testament to always fall on the Sunday - that is - the Sunday which followed the Saturday Sabbath in the week of Passover week - so Sunday Sabbaths are already given us in the Old Testament - and First-Fruits day is the very day on which Christ rose from the dead following the Passover Last Supper.
God had always planned that Christ would rise on the First-Fruits Sunday Sabbath - and Christians obedient to Christ's First-Fruits Sabbath Resurrection - gather every Sunday.
Christians celebrate and obey and fulful the requirements of both the Book of Exodus (creation - now a New Creation in Christ Jesus) and the requirements of the Book of Deuteronomy (remembering the Exodus from Egypt - now remembering the true Exodus from slavery to sin and death) by their Sunday celebration of the fulfilment and reality brought about by Christ on the First Day of the week - Sunday. Christians celebrate this on the day of the week Christ accomplished it.
In Christ Jesus Christians through Baptism have already entered the heavenly Jerusalem (Heb12:22) and sit with him on his heavenly throne (Eph 2:6) - they already participate in the eternal heavenly rest - and Sunday is a foretaste of that eternal rest - Sunday Mass (and every day of the week when we go to weekday Mass) we enter into that eternal heavenly community of the angles who forever pray and sing "Holy Holy Holy, Lord God of Hosts.." - this is the Mass - this is what the Mass is for - we don't have to wait for death and for heaven after death - we can come to the heavenly hosts and join with them in the eternal praise of God.
The Jews in their Sabbath keeping remember the week just past - but we Christians put God first in our week - by bringing everything we are and have, with and for Christ - Christ is the First and the Last - Sunday is the First Day of the week so we gather together to offer and give Him everything - and He gives us Himself - truly present in the Eucharist.

@@chrismason8476 Remain hard-headed but the Sabbaths refers to the Ceremonial Sabbaths which are traditions, Ceremonial Sabbaths are not enforced in the Ten Commandments, yet we know that Paul didn't abolish the Sabbath he guided us to keep the sabbath by him following the sabbath and him telling us to be like him who is like Christ.
Thank you pastor Dough. I came from Sunday worship and didn’t understand anything much from Bible prophecy. After I understand about the Sabbath my brother and I got re-baptized. Praise the Lord only His word still standing.
No. Merely keeping the sabbath is not demonic. Very dishonest wording. What is demonic is saying that sabbath-keeping is mandatory when Scripture explicitly says otherwise (Col. 2:16).
What is demonic is condemning Christians who don’t hold to sabbatarianism and telling them how worshipping on Sunday is pagan (it is not). What is demonic is saying how sabbath is the seal of God when the Bible says the Holy Spirit is the true Seal of God (Eph. 4:30).
@@deus_vult8111 There were two categories of sabbath. The context reveals that Col 2:16 is referring to the feast days, not the weekly Sabbath. The feast days were part of the ceremonial law written by man on parchment, and kept outside the ark of the covenant. The weekly Sabbath is on another level: It is one of the ten commandments, written by God on stone and placed inside the ark.
You seem to imply that if the holy Spirit is a seal of God, then his moral law cannot contain his seal. But according to 1Jn 3:24 this is not a contradiction, because the Spirit will dwell in those that keep his commandments.
A seal is typically a mark signifying the owners 1) name, 2) title and 3) jurisdiction. The 4th commandment covers all three. It is the one commandment that reveals the true identity of the author of the entire decalogue.
@@user-xm4rr1yt6n
Colossians 2:16 already mentioned the feast days when it said, “Let no man therefore judge you… in respect of an HOLYDAY, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath…” You are obfuscating Paul’s words to be redundant.
The “HOLYDAYS” were ANNUAL celebrations like the Passover, the days of Unleavened Bread, the Feast of Weeks, the Feast of Tabernacles, the Day of Atonement, etc. the Israelites were required to cease working on those special days.
The “new moon” were MONTHLY celebrations where the moon was in conjunction with the sun and appeared as a slender crescent in the sky.
The “sabbath” in Col. 2:16 is simply referring to the WEEKLY 7th day that Israel had to keep with all the other special days that Leviticus 23 and Numbers 28-29 list.
Read Galatians 4:10-11
“Ye observe DAYS, and MONTHS, and TIMES, and YEARS. I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain.”
“Days… Months… Times… Years…” (Gal. 4:10)
-
“Holyday… New Moon… Sabbath…” (Col. 2:16)
Paul is listing all of the liturgical days of the Jewish calendar by virtue of their frequency in either ascending or descending order of their occurrence. Annual, Monthly, Weekly. This is a fact even SDA scholars like Samuele Bacchiocchi & Ron DuPreez have admitted.
Read Ezekiel 45:17
“And it shall be the prince’s part to give burnt offerings, and meat offerings, and drink offerings, in the FEASTS, and in the NEW MOONS, and in the SABBATHS, in ALL SOLEMNITIES of the house of Israel...”
Read 1 Chronicles 23:31
“And to offer all burnt sacrifices unto the LORD in the SABBATHS, in the NEW MOONS, and on the SET FEASTS, by number, according to the order commanded unto them, continually before the LORD:”
Read Hosea 2:11
“I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her FEAST DAYS, her NEW MOONS, and her SABBATHS, and ALL her SOLEMN FEASTS.”
Read Nehemiah 10:33
“For the shewbread, and for the continual meat offering, and for the continual burnt offering, of the SABBATHS, of the NEW MOONS, for the SET FEASTS, and for the holy things…”
@@user-xm4rr1yt6n
“You seem to imply that if the holy Spirit is a seal of God, then his moral law cannot contain his seal.”
👉 The Sabbath is not a moral law. The Sabbath is a Ritual / Ceremonial law just like the feast days and circumcision. Jesus said so himself.
Matthew 12:5 “Or have ye not read in the LAW, how that on the SABBATH DAYS the PRIESTS in the TEMPLE PROFANE the SABBATH, and are BLAMELESS?”
JESUS says the priests working in the temple on the sabbath are profaning it by working but are blameless! This means temple work takes precedence over the Sabbath!
John 7:23
“If a MAN on the SABBATH DAY receive CIRCUMCISION, that the LAW OF MOSES should not be BROKEN; are ye angry at me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the SABBATH DAY?”
JESUS also says the work of circumcision is precedence over the Sabbath!!!
Everyone recognizes the priestly work in the temple and the act of circumcising a man are both CEREMONIAL and that they supersede the SABBATH. This means the Sabbath is CEREMONIAL and NOT moral!
@@user-xm4rr1yt6n
“But according to 1Jn 3:24 this is not a contradiction, because the Spirit will dwell in those that keep his commandments.”
👉 Where did Jesus command us to keep the Sabbath? John 5:18 says Jesus BROKE the SABBATH. And Paul says the weekly Sabbath along with the Monthly New Moons & Annual Feast Days are NOT to be a matter of judgment among believers (Col. 2:16; Rom. 14:5; Gal. 4:10).
Let’s examine your final statement:
“A seal is typically a mark signifying the owners 1)
name, 2) title and 3) jurisdiction. The 4th commandment covers all three. It is the one
commandment that reveals the true identity of the author of the entire decalogue.”
👉 This is more man-made logic that came from people like Ellen G. Witch & Uriah Smith and not the Bible. The Bible says the HOLY SPIRIT is the SEAL OF GOD. Where does the “Holy Spirit” denote a name, title, jurisdiction ?? NOWHERE. It’s a made-up list.
👉Just because a Bible verse mentions the name (YHWH), title (Lord) and dominion of God (Heaven/Earth) does not mean that verse is describing the Seal of God.
For example, using SDA logic, one could argue that the Torah is the "Seal of God" because it contains this verse:
“Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens [is] the LORD'S thy God, the earth [also], with all that therein [is].”
(Deut. 10:14)
Or one could claim that the prophetic writings of Isaiah or Jeremiah are the "Seal of God" using SDA logic:
“O LORD of hosts, God of Israel, that dwellest [between] the cherubims, thou [art] the God, [even] thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth: thou hast made heaven and earth.” (Isa. 37:16)
“Ah Lord GOD! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, [and] there is nothing too hard for thee.” (Jer. 32:17)
Psalm 146:5-6
“Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God: Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth for ever:”
In addition to the Ten Commandments, look at all of the other Bible verses that mention God's name (God), His title (Lord), and His dominion (heaven and earth):
Gen. 14:22 “And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up mine hand unto the LORD, the most high God, the possessor of heaven and earth…”
Gen. 24:3 “And I will make thee swear by the LORD, the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife unto my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell:”
Also Deut. 3:24, Deut. 4:39, Deut. 10:14, Jos. 2:11, 1 Ki. 8:23, 2 Ki. 9:15, 2 Chr. 2:12, 2 Chr. 6:14, Isa. 37:16, Jer. 32:17, Acts 4:24, Acts 17:24.
It should now be evident that just because God's name, title, and jurisdiction/dominion appear within a Bible verse does not prove that passage has any particular connection with the Seal of God in the New Testament.
God bless you pastor Doug.. Watching you from India 🇮🇳..
I too face this kind of pastors here...
I Praise God for pastors like you who are bringing light to this world.. ❤
Let truth triumph.. 💐🙏
SDA is another sect that takes one part of the bible and ignores others that give a fuller picture -- ""Why do Christians worship on Sunday and not Saturday "" is a great short you tube video that explains why it is better to Worship on Sunday if you are a Christian
I was baptized in the First Baptist Church in 1983 when I was 13 years old. In 2021 I had my eyes opened. I've now been baptized as a Seventh-Day Adventist after understanding the Bible's truth about Sabbath worship. Something I felt I always knew but never knew. The whole,.. those who have ears let them hear, and eyes to see thing, really hit me hard once I realized how blind I had been all my life. I feel renewed! A joy within me has been sealed. My new faith is strong and secure!! This preacher does have an anger within him that tells me he will fall hard if he ever truly sees how blind he has been. I hope his congregation will be able to catch him. Because it'll be a long hard fall alone.

The Old Testament gives us TWO lists of the Ten Commandments - one in the Book of Exodus and another list in the Book of Deuteronomy.
The Ten Commandments in Deuteronomy 5:15 tells us that the purpose of the Sabbath is to remember the Exodus - that is - the Exodus from slavery to Pharaoh in Egypt. If the purpose of the Sabbath in the Old Covenant is to remember the Exodus from slavery to Pharaoh in Egypt, then the purpose of the Sabbath in the New Covenant is to remember the Exodus Jesus Christ brought about by His death and resurrection.
Jesus Christ brought about the true Exodus - the Exodus from sin and death - which the Old Covenant Exodus was only a shadow.
Paul tells us in Colossians 2: 16-17, that not only are the "ceremonial laws" a "shadow" but that the Seventh-Day Sabbath is a "shadow" also.
Here it is in Paul's Letter to the Colossians 2:16-17 :
'16. Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival (that's the annual Jewish feasts), a New Moon celebration (that's the monthly Jewish feasts), or a Sabbath day (that's the weekly Seventh-Day Sabbaths). 17. These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ.'
"Shadow" does NOT mean "done away with", it means "transformed". The Old Covenant Passover feast was not "done away with" but was transformed by Christ himself into the Body and Blood of Christ at the Last Supper.
The sacrifice of the lamb in the Temple was NOT done away with but transformed into the sacrifice of Christ (the true Lamb) on the Cross. The altar in the Temple was not done away with but transformed into the altar of the wood of the cross.
A "shadow" is literally an outline on the ground or wall. A shadow on the ground is not me - I am the real thing - the shadow is only an image, an outline. So too, the "shadow" in the Old Testament has become the reality in Christ at his death and resurrection, which he accomplished on the First-Day of the Week - not on the Seventh-Day of the Week.
The Letter to the Hebrews tells us that the New Covenant is greater than the Old Covenant (Heb 8:6) - and that the New Covenant reality is made present in Christ Jesus - while the Old Covenant pointed to something greater to come - the fulfilment of the Old. Jesus Christ, by His death and resurrection, brought about the true Exodus - not from slavery to Pharaoh in Egypt - but the true and real Exodus from slavery to sin and death.
That is why Hebrews tells us that there is still a Sabbath day for Christians to keep but that it is On Another Day - that is what Hebrews tells us - the Sabbath is to be kept but kept on Another Day - its right there in Hebrews.
Hebrews 4: 8-11, specifically verse 8, shows us its on "another day"
For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day. 9 There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; 10 for anyone who enters God’s rest so that no one will perish by following their example of disobedience.
In addition - by Christ's resurrection on the First Day of the week - Sunday - Christ has brought about a New Creation - which the New Testament confirms - Christ Jesus IS the New Creation and He IS First-Fruits.
There are Sunday Sabbaths in the Old Testament (Lev 23: 9-14) called First-Fruits. God made the Jewish Feast of First-Fruits in the Old Testament to always fall on the Sunday - that is - the Sunday which followed the Saturday Sabbath in the week of Passover week - so Sunday Sabbaths are already given us in the Old Testament - and First-Fruits day is the very day on which Christ rose from the dead following the Passover Last Supper.
God had always planned that Christ would rise on the First-Fruits Sunday Sabbath - and Christians obedient to Christ's First-Fruits Sabbath Resurrection - gather every Sunday.
Christians celebrate and obey and fulful the requirements of both the Book of Exodus (creation - now a New Creation in Christ Jesus) and the requirements of the Book of Deuteronomy (remembering the Exodus from Egypt - now remembering the true Exodus from slavery to sin and death) by their Sunday celebration of the fulfilment and reality brought about by Christ on the First Day of the week - Sunday. Christians celebrate this on the day of the week Christ accomplished it.
In Christ Jesus Christians through Baptism have already entered the heavenly Jerusalem (Heb12:22) and sit with him on his heavenly throne (Eph 2:6) - they already participate in the eternal heavenly rest - and Sunday is a foretaste of that eternal rest - Sunday Mass (and every day of the week when we go to weekday Mass) we enter into that eternal heavenly community of the angles who forever pray and sing "Holy Holy Holy, Lord God of Hosts.." - this is the Mass - this is what the Mass is for - we don't have to wait for death and for heaven after death - we can come to the heavenly hosts and join with them in the eternal praise of God.
The Jews in their Sabbath keeping remember the week just past - but we Christians put God first in our week - by bringing everything we are and have, with and for Christ - Christ is the First and the Last - Sunday is the First Day of the week so we gather together to offer and give Him everything - and He gives us Himself - truly present in the Eucharist.
So we still keep the 10 commandments except the 4th? Or we forget all?
I'm not an SDA, but I did an exhaustive concordance study of the Sabbath-Sunday issue years ago. I couldn't find anywhere in the Bible where it says the 7th day Sabbath was changed or abolished. There is also not one verse in the Bible that says we should rest or worship on Sunday, or that we should keep it in honor of the resurrection.
Great...sounds like you did your homework...so I am curious...with a clear concise study with such clarity as you stated...Do you now keep the Biblical Sabbath...the seventh day (saturday)
TRUTH WILL PREVAIL
God's Sabbath and Israel's Sabbath are different.
In Genesis Chapter 1 verse 1 - 2 we read, in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was formless and covered with darkness while a mighty wind swept over the waters.
Day 1. Then God created light and he separated light from darkness.
Day 2. God created a dome that separated the waters below and above.
Day 3. God made the dry land appeared. He called the dry land earth and the water the sea. He created the vegetation.
Day 4. He created light to separate day and night. He created fixed times, seasons, days and years. He made two great lights to rule the day and the night (sun and moon?).
Day 5. Then God created sea creatures, birds
Day 6. God created animals, beasts and man.
Notice that God's day 1, day 2, day 3 were not depended upon the sunlight or the shadow of the earth that caused our day and night. This is to say, God's day and night are not the same as our day and night which is a 24 hours cycle.
In the 10 commandments, God commanded the nation of Israel to keep the Sabbath rest just as he had rested on the 7th day after the completion of his creation.
Thus, Israel's Sabbath is just a foreshadow of God's Sabbath. It is just a copy.
Now, if we try to keep Israel's Sabbath then it should be from sunset on Friday to sunset on Saturday. However, if we are in Norway, or at the North pole, how will we observe the lengthy Sabbath day during April to August where the sun shines for about half a year?
Also, if we claim to observe Israel's Sabbath, then people all over the world especially the so called Sabbath keepers like the Seventh Day Adventists should keep the Sabbath exactly at the same time the Jews in Israel keep their Sabbath. But this will violate the principle of sunset to sunset in other parts of the world, like Norway. Therefore, it is not possible to keep Israel's Sabbath.
So far we have seen that Israel's Sabbath and God's Sabbath are different. We have also seen that we can't keep Israel's Sabbath too.
But then Christians are the new Israel and Jesus did not come to do away with the law but to fulfill it. So what about the new Sabbath?
Jesus said, come to me, all you who are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest. What does this rest mean? Is it the same thing as Paul talked about entering God's rest in Hebrews 4 : 1 - 11? Paul said Israel did not enter into God's rest when they entered into the land of Canaan. That is why Paul further said God spoke of another day to enter into God's rest. Paul then exhorted the Hebrews to enter into that rest the day they hear God's voice without hardening their heart. From this passage, we see that God's rest, or God's Sabbath is not about 7 day cycle but about finding our salvation in Jesus Christ.
In the gospel, Jesus said that his Father is always working and likewise he was doing the same. This raises a question of how could God work always but still have his rest on the 7th day? The only logical explanation is that God rested from creating new things but he did not rest from sustaining the things he created already.
Thus, every day (24 hours day of our day) is a Sabbath day for God till he the day he creates the new heaven and the new earth.
And since we are to keep the new Sabbath, or God's Sabbath, of which Jesus is the Lord of the Sabbath, everyday should be a Sabbath day for us. We have found our rest in Jesus Christ. We don't have to roam restlessly to find rest in Judaism, Islam or Hinduism or Budhism.... We should observe this Sabbath rest till the day we receive our glorified body in heaven.
@@justthink8952 I get you, but then what about the rest of the 9 commandments. Were they for Israel as well? It just does not add up, I believe.
@@manisymone8622
I make no comments for those who follow Judaism.
But for Christians, the rest of the 9 commandments are still valid. Of course, Jesus just raised the standards of those teachings so that we may live according to what God intended. We can read this in Matthew chapter 5 verse 17 to 46.
He said, you have heard it in the past, do not murder but I now say to you, do not even get angry with your brother; you have heard it in the past, love your brother but hate your enemies. But now I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you. You have heard it in the past, do not commit adultery. But now I say to you, do not lust for any woman...
Thank you Pastor Doug, you truly are heaven sent to a confused planet. We have to read our bibles more and keep cross referencing the scriptures. That shows that Saturday is and always will be the sabbath. I thank God and my parents for teaching me the truth❤️
Thank you pastor Doug batchelor
Praise God.
Search/study th Bible always w prayer

No. Merely keeping the sabbath is not demonic. Very dishonest wording. What is demonic is saying that sabbath-keeping is mandatory when Scripture explicitly says otherwise (Col. 2:16).
What is demonic is condemning Christians who don’t hold to sabbatarianism and telling them how worshipping on Sunday is pagan (it is not). What is demonic is saying how sabbath is the seal of God when the Bible says the Holy Spirit is the true Seal of God (Eph. 4:30).
@@deus_vult8111 thank you. Apparently, Doug only uses a part of his brain complements of the SDA.
I stopped going to church on Sundays, ppl have told me it's the only day the ppl are off to worship. IT's in South America. I need prayers to open their eyes
I belonged to the Presbyterian Church but i love your Biblical teaching @Pastor Doug . I pray that you will lived long till our Lord Jesus Christ come . That Pastor in the clip was intoxicated by the wine of Babilon we pray that Jesus will open his eyes before it's too late . Amen 🙏🙏🙏

The Old Testament gives us TWO lists of the Ten Commandments - one in the Book of Exodus and another list in the Book of Deuteronomy.
The Ten Commandments in Deuteronomy 5:15 tells us that the purpose of the Sabbath is to remember the Exodus - that is - the Exodus from slavery to Pharaoh in Egypt. If the purpose of the Sabbath in the Old Covenant is to remember the Exodus from slavery to Pharaoh in Egypt, then the purpose of the Sabbath in the New Covenant is to remember the Exodus Jesus Christ brought about by His death and resurrection.
Jesus Christ brought about the true Exodus - the Exodus from sin and death - which the Old Covenant Exodus was only a shadow.
Paul tells us in Colossians 2: 16-17, that not only are the "ceremonial laws" a "shadow" but that the Seventh-Day Sabbath is a "shadow" also.
Here it is in Paul's Letter to the Colossians 2:16-17 :
'16. Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival (that's the annual Jewish feasts), a New Moon celebration (that's the monthly Jewish feasts), or a Sabbath day (that's the weekly Seventh-Day Sabbaths). 17. These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ.'
"Shadow" does NOT mean "done away with", it means "transformed". The Old Covenant Passover feast was not "done away with" but was transformed by Christ himself into the Body and Blood of Christ at the Last Supper.
The sacrifice of the lamb in the Temple was NOT done away with but transformed into the sacrifice of Christ (the true Lamb) on the Cross. The altar in the Temple was not done away with but transformed into the altar of the wood of the cross.
A "shadow" is literally an outline on the ground or wall. A shadow on the ground is not me - I am the real thing - the shadow is only an image, an outline. So too, the "shadow" in the Old Testament has become the reality in Christ at his death and resurrection, which he accomplished on the First-Day of the Week - not on the Seventh-Day of the Week.

Colossians 2:16 directly refutes Doug.

@@artgod2890 hi, I have tried to contact you about the GC dramatized audiobook that why is there some words missing or changed? None the less it’s still 🔥

OBNVIOUSLY you are ignorant of scripture.
The Jews were angry at gentiles for not keeping the Jewish holidays properly. Some gentile ate only veggies. Some ate only meat. Others ate nothing. Because the Gentiles were not Jews, they did not have to keep the laws of Moses.
What was the shadow of "things to come"? The sacrifice of Jesus. Those feasts that pointed TO His sacrifice were NO longer binding after the cross.
There are several feast sabbaths---- It is plural--NOT singular..
..Feats Sabbaths.
One occurs in the summer, this is the Feast of Weeks (Shavuot). And four occur in the fall in the seventh month. Feast of Trumpets (Yom Teru'ah) on the first day of the seventh month; the second is the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur); and two during the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot) on the first and last day.
A sign that the Sabbath is becoming more prominent as prophecy predicted. Praise God. “Come out of her My people.”
Yes!
Come out of the churches… go back to God on the Holy Sabbath.
End Times… 🙏
You worshipped on the Sabbath as well?
You are right. Why else would this be such a hot issue if satan wasn’t about to introduce it to the world as the new sabbath.
We should worship God any day and everyday. If you wish to worship him on a Saturday, good for you and the other wishes to worship him on a Friday good for him too.
@@sledge387 we should worship Him all days of the week. The sabbath is His day that he sanctified at creation for us to observe and set aside as a memorial to his work. Why would anyone choose another day of the week when he already picked one for us?
Thank you pastor Doug. I became a Sabbath keeper through your Net '99 evangelistic campaign, before that I was always fearful and searching for Truth and found " peace that surpasses all understanding". God has given you true wisdom, one can see how much you love the Scriptures of Truth! "Death before dishonour" to the Lord and His Holy Sabbath is our motto! God bless you all.

Colossians 2:16 uses a plural form of Sabbath in Greek, as opposed to Acts 13:42, which uses a singular form. Therefore, we can conclude that Colossians 2:16 is about the ceremonial Sabbaths and not the weekly Sabbaths. Also, Hebrews 4:8 talks about the “rest” that Joshua gave when the Israelites settled in Canaan. This “rest” isn’t God’s final rest for the readers of Hebrews, since God did in fact speak of another day. As you can see, Hebrews 4 has nothing to do with the Sabbath.
Also, Jesus coming back to life on Sunday has nothing to do with the switch to Sunday. Rather, Jesus died on Friday, RESTED on Sabbath, and rose again on Sunday. Death is symbolic or rest here.

The Book of Leviticus, Chapter 23, lists the 7 Feasts of Isreal. The seven Feasts fall into three types: yearly, monthly, and weekly - that's it - no other period of time.
Paul tells us in Colossians 2: 16-17, that not only are the "ceremonial laws" a "shadow" but that all the Jewish Fessts are a shadow - including the Seventh-Day Sabbath - this is listed by Paul as "shadow".
Here it is in Paul's Letter to the Colossians 2:16-17 :
'16. Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival (that's the annual Jewish feasts), a New Moon celebration (that's the monthly Jewish feasts), or a Sabbath day (that's the weekly Seventh-Day Sabbaths). 17. These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ."
It is clear - the weekly Sabbath is listed as a shadow - the fullness has come in Christ Jesus.
@@chrismason8476 I asked a pastor I know. Here is what he had to say:
Sabbath day, the weekly 7th day, instituted at Creation by God. Reaffirmed at Sinai is still in effect. Hebrews 4:9. There remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God. Isa 66 says. We will keep Sabbath in heaven. So there were feast days, like religious holidays that happened 7 times a year, like Passover and feast of tabernacles. Yom kippur. Etc. these pointed forward to Christ. And at the cross met their fulfilment. It was ok to keep hear feast sabbaths, but not necessary, or obligatory for the christian. And one should not judge another about whether to keep them or not. God's lE does not change even as he does not change or altar the things that he says.

Amen Pastor Doug. For all my life I have struggled on this one doctrine. But I really don't have to anymore. The Word of God is very clear. Everytime I remind myself "GOD" not man, "GOD" rested on the Sabbath and He "Blessed" it. Human preachers who inspired no scripture keep misleading God's people. Jesus said "If you love me keep my commandments!" Keeping 9 and making plausible excuses on the one is very obedient of us, isn't it? Any Holy Spirit led and convicted Christian should know for sure. It's not about been legalistic like the pharisees and saducees. The Peace and Joy of willingly obeying His Word coupled with a personal relationship with Christ is truly a pure and true Christlike identity in the world today. Our God is Good and Faithful. I pray His Holy Spirit continues to convict and lead people out of error and also the unbeliever to Christ.
Amen!!! a praise God that He has delivered us from these types of False teachers!!

Although the Jewish religious festivals are celebrated by Jewish Messianic believers, they are not relevant to Gentile Christians. Paul told us in 1 Corinthians 5:7-8 that Jesus is the Passover Lamb. The Lord’s Supper, therefore, has replaced the Passover. Hebrews 7:27 and other passages declare that man has been once and for all reconciled to God by the death of Christ. Other passages such as Colossians 2:16-17 and Romans 14:5-6 declare that the Old Testament feasts are no longer to be observed:
So let no one judge you in food or in drink, or regarding a festival or a new moon or sabbaths, which are a shadow of things to come, but the substance is of Christ (Col. 2:16-17 nkjv).
God’s moral law proceeds from the righteousness of God and can never be abolished. The Mosaic Law, as an expression of this moral law, is “passing away” in that it has been superseded by another law, that is, the standard of grace revealed in the New Testament. The believer is now under law to Christ (1 Cor. 9:21; cp. Rom. 8:2-4). Although the Christian is not under the Mosaic Law as a rule of life, some of the Law of Moses is restated in the New Testament-nine of the Ten Commandments are included. The Mosaic Law still constitutes a revelation of the righteousness of God and remains as a part of Scripture which “is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work (2 Tim. 3:16-17 nkjv; cp. Rom. 15:4).

The Sabbath before the New Moon- Moon. The last Sabbath of the month before the appearance of the new moon (i.e., Rosh Chodesh) is called Shabbat Mevarkhim (שַׁבַּת מְבָרְכִים, "Sabbath of Blessing"), and additional prayer is recited asking God to bless the coming month.
The Sabbath on the New Moon. If a Sabbath occurs on the new moon, it is called Shabbat Rosh Chodesh (שַׁבַּת ראשׁ חדֶשׁ) and an additional Torah reading (Num. 28:9-15) and haftarah (Isa. 66:1-24) are recited during services.

I was raised in the Baptist church. I went to church every week went to youth group and never felt like I knew the Lord. I was taught fire and brimstone that everybody’s going to hell and was forced to watch that horrible movie about the end times when Christians get their heads chopped off. I think every Baptist has to watch that horrible movie nothing against Baptist but I never felt like I ever understood God’s love or what God was actually trying to tell us. I left the church and I prayed for God to show me the truth, and he lead me to the adventist Church, which has transformed my walk with God and I thank the Lord every day for it. And instead of listening to a pastor scream at me about how I’m going to hell I get to learn about scripture and God’s love for each one of us..
May God bless you abundantly.
I'm a Seventh Day Adventist. Wholeheartedly. To God Be The Glory.
As a Charismatic I must say I am embarrassed! Unfortunately this is the large majority of Charismatic preaching today. Thank you Ps Doug for your Chirsitlike response 🙏

Do you agreed with the SDA doctrine concerning resting on the Sabbath?
No. Merely keeping the sabbath is not demonic. Very dishonest wording. What is demonic is saying that sabbath-keeping is mandatory when Scripture explicitly says otherwise (Col. 2:16).
What is demonic is condemning Christians who don’t hold to sabbatarianism and telling them how worshipping on Sunday is pagan (it is not). What is demonic is saying how sabbath is the seal of God when the Bible says the Holy Spirit is the true Seal of God (Eph. 4:30).
@@markbennett7797 I believe the Seventh-day Sabbath was made for Man as Jesus said. I believe in physically and mentally resting on the Seventh-day Sabbath and enjoy God's creation as He set the Sabbath as a memorial of Creation and it is our acknowledgment of God as the Creator. I don't believe keeping the Sabbath is a means for right standing with God. I also don't believe the Sabbath is morally binding on Christians but resting on the Sabbath is a very good Biblical principle to apply to one's weekly routine.
Whenever someone mentions that it doesn't matter what day we worship, there is always stubbornness and impatience in their voice. They don't want a response to their comment. It is as if deep down they know Saturday is the Sabbath day. God bless you Pastor Doug, you sound shaken by that video (so are we) but you responded the way a Christian should. Happy Sabbath!
I usually ask them if the rest of the 10 Commandments also no longer matter!!
Praise be to God the truth can stand on its own. God bless You Pastor Doug.

What I tell quote this. James 2:10 Whoever keeps the whole law but stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.
By breaking the Sabbath Commandment--they are guilty OF BREAKING ALL the Commandments.
What does it mean for the Sabbath to be made for man and Also if man was made for the sabbath? Think!!
The son of man is Lord of the sabbath. What does it mean. It means the sabbath is subject to him (he created it so in it you should see him(he) the real purpose) and not him subjected to the sabbath.
Think !!
For Christ to say he is Lord of the Sabbath means he is above the Sabbath or the real Sabbath is him . Or he created the sabbath . And he is the real deal of the sabbath. He is the real intent behind the sabbath and why it was created. That there will be a point when we will cease from our works as Gid did cease from his and has rested after creating the new man. The new creation .
So if I ask you . Are you the new man or still the man from Adam or of old??
It was communicated to the fathers as a day because they could not fanthom spiritual things . They were babes. The mode of communication to the fathers were a bit soft.
Which came first the law or Faith?
Is the law of faith ?
Faith was before the law.
Abraham was justified by faith.
Christ and his righteousness was manifested without the law. But witnessed by the law. Keeping the intent of the law.
So when we accept the work which Christ has done we have ceased from our own works to please God and have entered and accepted the real sabbath which is Christ . Into ours. So everyday of our lives is a sabbath because we are in Gods rest . Selah
The Sabbath days where merely a pointer to where and when or whom our righteousness will show up. Think
Hope the veils fall of your eyes.
Now if you ask me if i am keeping the rest of the commandments? I will say Yes. I am fulfilling it not to the letter but in spirit. Because it already became a part of me . Inherent or inborn .
Exodus 20 verse 8;; remember the Sabbath day to keep it Holy six days shalt thou Labour and do all thy work but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God in it thou shalt not do any work thou nor thy son nor thy daughter nor thy manservant nor thy maidservant nor thy cattle nor thy stranger that is within thy gates for in six days the Lord made the heaven and earth the sea and all that in them is and rested the seventh day wherefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it

When we look at the scriptures for ourselves... and believe them... we start to see a very different "church" of Christ than we've been taught.
Yeshua and all his apostles kept the Sabbath. And after the cross they were still keeping it! As did Paul who was sent to the gentiles.

Thanks Pastor Doug defending our Sabbath truth!
"Our Sabbath truth" what is true about the Sabbath today??
@@thatyoutubespacedude8229 well my understanding is that the Sabbath only became a command in eksodus 20 when Moses descended with the a covenant and that covenant was to run until the seed whom the promises were made to arrive and that seed(Christ) came. That covenant is now obsolete.
If it’s obsolete. Why worship on a Sunday when the Bible never once said to worship on a Sunday. In actuality we don’t actually know when is the real Sabbath. It says 6 days shall us labor and the 7th we rest.
@@LivingMyBestAlways Actually the scriptures never said we should worship on the seventh day or Sabbath. A command given is for keeping the Sabbath not worshipping on the Sabbath. Roman's 12v5 One man esteem one day ove the other and another esteems all days. This scriptures clearly shows us that the day of worship is up to a believer. There are no commands given to new testament saints regarding a day of worship.

You are correct Pastor Doug. When you ask some of these so called Pastors, teachers, preachers, reverends and leaders questions that lead to Christ and truth...the rage does come out.

His rant is unfortunate - although the message was based on truth. We are not under the laws of Moses. So why would you pick one to follow in a legalistic manor. Might as well make sure that all males are circumcised then. You can and should worship the Lord everyday - not just the sabbath but it is not a requirement to be in good favour with God.

I received Christ as my savior in 2013 -before that, I thought I was a Christian. Christ showed me His grace after years of rebellion, and I saw myself as the sinner I was. He sat me down for months to study His word. I saw Jesus from Genesis to Revelation. I literally felt the words of the Bible palpitate like a heart. Long story short, I don't work on the Sabbath. For every part-time I got hired for since 2021 i said I don't work on Saturdays. I go to church on Sundays. Thru my Bible reading in research, I found a Messianic Jewish congregation, and I still keep in touch with them. I celebrate some of the Jewish holidays with them when I can. I never push the issue with other Christians nor do I think I am better than them for keeping the Sabbath and most wouldn't know i keep it. At this point in my walk, I am not a Baptist, Pentecostal, or any denomination. I have been listening to Pastor Dough for years on and off and a few other preachers as well. This man that was saying the Sabbat is a devil doctrine is very wrong and blasphemed God cause then what would this man call the 10 commandments?? since it talks about the Sabbath.
Just because this man holds a microphone and is on a pulpit doesn't make him a Christian or a pastor. I pray this man comes to Christ and repents. So many false pastors and churches now a day with many names. Today more than ever is the responsibility of Christians to pick their BIble read it , and study it every day cause the time of the end of days is here.
That's the reality dister
I used to think false teachers were just deceived but now I believe they are deliberately and consciously trying to destroy GOD'S church!

This is how we respond to a rant towards us. Pastor Doug illustrated well how to handle such things of accusations from our fellow Christians. Thanks for the example Pastor Doug
Yes Jehovah's witnesses are just as calm maybe they should get together and reconcile differences
Jehovas Witnesses need to accept Jesus Christ as God- the second person of the Godhead, and the Holy Spirit as third Person of the Godhead. They need to accept the seventh day Sabbath that God blessed and hallowed. Then, they will have a lot in common with Seventh Day Adventists.
Greg Locke... I remember some years ago that he committed adultery with a member of his church. He left his wife and children, and married the other woman.
I emailed him about his actions. Of course, he never replied. Maybe being an adulterer, could possibly be the reason why he’s against the Ten Commandments.
Pastor Doug, you're correct. Such angry is unprecedented!
I remember your testimony and Pastor John Lomacang's one too, when searching for the truth about Sabbath and Sunday sacredness. Many Sunday Preachers know the truth and 𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙡𝙮 preach against it, for the exact reasons that Pastor Doug mentioned.
May God have mercy on us all. As Adventists, we're no better than anyone else, we just have more light.
@Pananna63 ! Was he (Greg) a Seventh-day Adventist before adultery he committed? Aske to find a clear picture from your posting.
Blessings in keeping the Sabbath. Pray for Pastor Doug, may he help guide the seeking believers and current believers to continue to focus on the teachings in the Bible from those that teach from the context of the confused and broken world. Pray for his continued examples and guided Bible based studies.

Thank you for this powerful study of the Sabbath. We have to know what we believe and why.
*** 1AAA
The Old Testament gives us TWO lists of the Ten Commandments - one in the Book of Exodus and another list in the Book of Deuteronomy.
The Ten Commandments in Deuteronomy 5:15 tells us that the purpose of the Sabbath is to remember the Exodus - that is - the Exodus from slavery to Pharaoh in Egypt. If the purpose of the Sabbath in the Old Covenant is to remember the Exodus from slavery to Pharaoh in Egypt, then the purpose of the Sabbath in the New Covenant is to remember the Exodus Jesus Christ brought about by His death and resurrection.
Jesus Christ brought about the true Exodus - the Exodus from sin and death - which the Old Covenant Exodus was only a shadow.
Paul tells us in Colossians 2: 16-17, that not only are the "ceremonial laws" a "shadow" but that the Seventh-Day Sabbath is a "shadow" also.
Here it is in Paul's Letter to the Colossians 2:16-17 :
'16. Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival (that's the annual Jewish feasts), a New Moon celebration (that's the monthly Jewish feasts), or a Sabbath day (that's the weekly Seventh-Day Sabbaths). 17. These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ.'
"Shadow" does NOT mean "done away with", it means "transformed". The Old Covenant Passover feast was not "done away with" but was transformed by Christ himself into the Body and Blood of Christ at the Last Supper.
The sacrifice of the lamb in the Temple was NOT done away with but transformed into the sacrifice of Christ (the true Lamb) on the Cross. The altar in the Temple was not done away with but transformed into the altar of the wood of the cross.
A "shadow" is literally an outline on the ground or wall. A shadow on the ground is not me - I am the real thing - the shadow is only an image, an outline. So too, the "shadow" in the Old Testament has become the reality in Christ at his death and resurrection, which he accomplished on the First-Day of the Week - not on the Seventh-Day of the Week.
The Letter to the Hebrews tells us that the New Covenant is greater than the Old Covenant (Heb 8:6) - and that the New Covenant reality is made present in Christ Jesus - while the Old Covenant pointed to something greater to come - the fulfilment of the Old. Jesus Christ, by His death and resurrection, brought about the true Exodus - not from slavery to Pharaoh in Egypt - but the true and real Exodus from slavery to sin and death.
That is why Hebrews tells us that there is still a Sabbath day for Christians to keep but that it is On Another Day - that is what Hebrews tells us - the Sabbath is to be kept but kept on Another Day - its right there in Hebrews.
Hebrews 4: 8-11, specifically verse 8, shows us its on "another day"
For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day. 9 There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; 10 for anyone who enters God’s rest so that no one will perish by following their example of disobedience.
In addition - by Christ's resurrection on the First Day of the week - Sunday - Christ has brought about a New Creation - which the New Testament confirms - Christ Jesus IS the New Creation and He IS First-Fruits.
There are Sunday Sabbaths in the Old Testament (Lev 23: 9-14) called First-Fruits. God made the Jewish Feast of First-Fruits in the Old Testament to always fall on the Sunday - that is - the Sunday which followed the Saturday Sabbath in the week of Passover week - so Sunday Sabbaths are already given us in the Old Testament - and First-Fruits day is the very day on which Christ rose from the dead following the Passover Last Supper.
God had always planned that Christ would rise on the First-Fruits Sunday Sabbath - and Christians obedient to Christ's First-Fruits Sabbath Resurrection - gather every Sunday.
Christians celebrate and obey and fulful the requirements of both the Book of Exodus (creation - now a New Creation in Christ Jesus) and the requirements of the Book of Deuteronomy (remembering the Exodus from Egypt - now remembering the true Exodus from slavery to sin and death) by their Sunday celebration of the fulfilment and reality brought about by Christ on the First Day of the week - Sunday. Christians celebrate this on the day of the week Christ accomplished it.
In Christ Jesus Christians through Baptism have already entered the heavenly Jerusalem (Heb12:22) and sit with him on his heavenly throne (Eph 2:6) - they already participate in the eternal heavenly rest - and Sunday is a foretaste of that eternal rest - Sunday Mass (and every day of the week when we go to weekday Mass) we enter into that eternal heavenly community of the angles who forever pray and sing "Holy Holy Holy, Lord God of Hosts.." - this is the Mass - this is what the Mass is for - we don't have to wait for death and for heaven after death - we can come to the heavenly hosts and join with them in the eternal praise of God.
The Jews in their Sabbath keeping remember the week just past - but we Christians put God first in our week - by bringing everything we are and have, with and for Christ - Christ is the First and the Last - Sunday is the First Day of the week so we gather together to offer and give Him everything - and He gives us Himself - truly present in the Eucharist.

The how about this:
Vatican CODEX 3.12.3 (some list as 3.12.2) The Emperor Constantius
“All Judges and city people and the craftsmen shall rest upon the venerable Day of the Sun. Country people, however, may freely attend to the cultivation of the fields, because it frequently hap-pens that no other days are better adapted for planting the grain in the furrows or the vines in trenches. So that the advantage given by heavenly providence may not for the occasion of a short time perish. 321 AD.” (quoted from Ayers, 284-285)
The first Sunday law in history was passed by Constantine. In the Latin manuscript of this law, the phrase translated as “VENERABLE DAY of the SUN" or "day of the sun” is venerabilis dies solis. Constantine’s decree was based upon honoring and esteeming the celestial body we call the sun. The decree did not honor the Hebrew God or Jesus Christ. Notice that no worship is mentioned; it simply declared a civil day of rest.
This law was not designed to mirror the Biblical Sabbath. Notice that farmers were not allowed to take off work on the day. The God of the Holy Bible gave us the Sabbath (Friday sunset to Saturday sunset) as the weekly day of rest for all people, regardless of their occupation. This command extends to farmers in their slow and busy seasons (Ex. 34:21).

The first four Sunday laws were issued from 321 to as late as 373. Two in 321, one at an unknown date, but certainly after 321, and the last one between 368-373. There would not be another one (that we know of) until 386 AD.
From 386 to 425, eleven laws were enacted that governed some sort of Sunday observance (including the annual observance of Pascha on Sunday). The Codex Justinian adds one from 469, bringing the total to twelve laws during a little over sixty years.
The sudden increase in Sunday laws, including the usage of the term ‘Lord’s Day’ in them, reflects the merger of the Roman Em-pire with the Roman Church.
-------Codex 11.7.13 The same Augustuses (Gratian, Valentinian, and The-odosius Augustuses) to Principius, Praetorian Prefect
On the Day of the Sun (Sunday), which our ancestors rightly called the Lord’s Day*, the prosecution of all litigation and ac-tions shall entirely cease. No person shall demand payment of either a public or private debt. There shall be no cognizance of any contention, even before arbitrators, whether these arbitrators be demanded in court of voluntarily chosen. If any person should turn aside from the inspiration and ritual of holy (sanctae) reli-gion (religionis)**, he shall be adjudged not only infamous but also sacrilegious. (Nov. 3, 386) (ibid, 300)
*The latin translated as “our ancestors rightly called the Lord’s Day” is quem dominicam rite dixere maiores. Dominicam has come to be known as ‘Lord’s Day’ by this time. Rite means a du-ty according to religious observance. Dixere means called or said and maiores means ancestors or forefathers. The use of the term maiores does not indicate length of time.
....................................................
2. Moreover, We issue the forewarning that no person shall trans-gress Our law which We formerly issued, namely, that no one shall give a spectacle for the people on the DAY of the SUN (Sunday)* or disturb divine worship by holding such celebrations. (May 20, 386; more properly the law belongs to 392-395 AD). (ibid, 432)
Things to note about this law: This law only allows judges to take time off to attend amusements when the celebration of the Emper-or’s birthday or anniversary of their rule takes place.
*Sunday is not called the Lord’s Day, but by the common pagan name dies solis (Day of the SUN)

👉 Christians were observing Sunday as the Lord’s Day for hundreds of years before Emperor Constantine’s Sunday Law in ᴀᴅ 321. Let’s read what Christian authors before Constantine such as the Early Church Fathers said about this topic:
St. Ignatius of Antioch (died ~108)
“Those who lived according to the old order of things have come to a new hope, no longer keeping the sabbath, but the Lord’s Day, in which our life is blessed by him and by his death.”
St. Justin Martyr (100-165)
“We all gather on the day of the sun, for it is the first day when God, separating matter from darkness, made the world; and on this same day Jesus Christ our Savior rose from the dead.”
The Didache (late-1st century)
“But every Lord's Day gather yourselves together, and break bread, and give thanksgiving after having confessed your transgressions, that your sacrifice may be pure.”
Tertullian (160-240)
“But you, many of you, also under pretence sometimes of worshipping the heavenly bodies, move your lips in the direction of the sunrise. In the same way, if we devote Sunday to rejoicing, from a far different reason than Sun-worship, we have some resemblance to those of you who devote the day of Saturn to ease and luxury, though they too go far away from Jewish ways, of which indeed they are ignorant.”
St. Cyprian (200-258)
“For because the eighth day, that is, the first day after the Sabbath, was to be that on which the Lord should rise again, and should quicken us, and give us circumcision of the spirit, the eighth day, that is, the first day after the Sabbath, and the Lord’s day, went before in the figure; which figure ceased when by and by the truth came, and spiritual circumcision was given to us.”
In Acts 20:7 the early church gathered together to break bread “on the first day of the week”. This custom of honoring the Lord’s Day (Sunday) by celebrating the Eucharist was passed down from the apostles to the bishops who were ordained by them and succeed them in continuing the work of the Great Commission.
What did St. Paul tell Timothy?
2 Tim. 2:2 “And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.”
2 Thessalonians 2:15
“Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.”
Apostolic Tradition did not die with the Apostles nor is it restricted to only what was written in the Epistles of St. Paul.
The bible sais " I delightith to do thy will o my God" " I keep thy law in my heart I meditate on it day and night" thank God for Doug Batchlor! happy Sabbath all!
The law of grace boils down to one commandment not 600+ not 10 (which is actually the Law of Moses) but one / need a scripture for that? Of course you do because you don’t read scripture for yourself - well here it is : Galatians 5:14 LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOUR
For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: "Love your neighbor as yourself”
@@nomorewar4189 Well that was very loving of you neighbor.. you know how intelligent Jesus is when he said "love one another" cause he knew if you were loving one another you wouldn't be killing each other, stealing, coveting, lying etc.. like telling people they don't read their scriptures when they do, lolz. 🙂
@@nomorewar4189 ..so if I hit my finger with the hammer and use the name of God in vain, I am not braking the 4th Commandment? Following your conclusion I am not guilty of braking this commandment. What a fine witnessing if as a Christian I go around using the Lord’s name in vain!
No. Merely keeping the sabbath is not demonic. Very dishonest wording. What is demonic is saying that sabbath-keeping is mandatory when Scripture explicitly says otherwise (Col. 2:16).
What is demonic is condemning Christians who don’t hold to sabbatarianism and telling them how worshipping on Sunday is pagan (it is not). What is demonic is saying how sabbath is the seal of God when the Bible says the Holy Spirit is the true Seal of God (Eph. 4:30).
@@deus_vult8111 I condemn no one.
Thank you, Pastor Doug, I love your sermon, but I tended to lose focus when sermons are long in general. As a Seventh-day Adventist, thank you for explaining so concisely with a calm and gentle attitude. This should be heard to as many people as possible. Love it!
Pastor Batchlor a very important text I didn't here you mentioned is, Proverbs 28:9 “If one turns away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer is an abomination.” I use this text to show other Christians how important the keeping of the Sabbath is to God answering our prayers.
he's so bold in saying the Sabbath is Demonic. That man doesn't care about the salvation of his congregation. 👉💲💲💲
May the Lord have mercy on Greg Locke and may the Lord help him to come to repentance that he may have right to the tree of life.
You can feel Greg Locke's angry and hatred there. That's a preview of things to come. Thank you for your calm and thoughtful response Pastor Doug.
True he is full of hatred
He is possessed.

The Old Testament gives us TWO lists of the Ten Commandments - one in the Book of Exodus and another list in the Book of Deuteronomy.
The Ten Commandments in Deuteronomy 5:15 tells us that the purpose of the Sabbath is to remember the Exodus - that is - the Exodus from slavery to Pharaoh in Egypt. If the purpose of the Sabbath in the Old Covenant is to remember the Exodus from slavery to Pharaoh in Egypt, then the purpose of the Sabbath in the New Covenant is to remember the Exodus Jesus Christ brought about by His death and resurrection.
Jesus Christ brought about the true Exodus - the Exodus from sin and death - which the Old Covenant Exodus was only a shadow.
Paul tells us in Colossians 2: 16-17, that not only are the "ceremonial laws" a "shadow" but that the Seventh-Day Sabbath is a "shadow" also.
Here it is in Paul's Letter to the Colossians 2:16-17 :
'16. Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival (that's the annual Jewish feasts), a New Moon celebration (that's the monthly Jewish feasts), or a Sabbath day (that's the weekly Seventh-Day Sabbaths). 17. These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ.'
"Shadow" does NOT mean "done away with", it means "transformed". The Old Covenant Passover feast was not "done away with" but was transformed by Christ himself into the Body and Blood of Christ at the Last Supper.
The sacrifice of the lamb in the Temple was NOT done away with but transformed into the sacrifice of Christ (the true Lamb) on the Cross. The altar in the Temple was not done away with but transformed into the altar of the wood of the cross.
A "shadow" is literally an outline on the ground or wall. A shadow on the ground is not me - I am the real thing - the shadow is only an image, an outline. So too, the "shadow" in the Old Testament has become the reality in Christ at his death and resurrection, which he accomplished on the First-Day of the Week - not on the Seventh-Day of the Week.
The Letter to the Hebrews tells us that the New Covenant is greater than the Old Covenant (Heb 8:6) - and that the New Covenant reality is made present in Christ Jesus - while the Old Covenant pointed to something greater to come - the fulfilment of the Old. Jesus Christ, by His death and resurrection, brought about the true Exodus - not from slavery to Pharaoh in Egypt - but the true and real Exodus from slavery to sin and death.
That is why Hebrews tells us that there is still a Sabbath day for Christians to keep but that it is On Another Day - that is what Hebrews tells us - the Sabbath is to be kept but kept on Another Day - its right there in Hebrews.
Hebrews 4: 8-11, specifically verse 8, shows us its on "another day"
For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day. 9 There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; 10 for anyone who enters God’s rest so that no one will perish by following their example of disobedience.
In addition - by Christ's resurrection on the First Day of the week - Sunday - Christ has brought about a New Creation - which the New Testament confirms - Christ Jesus IS the New Creation and He IS First-Fruits.
There are Sunday Sabbaths in the Old Testament (Lev 23: 9-14) called First-Fruits. God made the Jewish Feast of First-Fruits in the Old Testament to always fall on the Sunday - that is - the Sunday which followed the Saturday Sabbath in the week of Passover week - so Sunday Sabbaths are already given us in the Old Testament - and First-Fruits day is the very day on which Christ rose from the dead following the Passover Last Supper.
God had always planned that Christ would rise on the First-Fruits Sunday Sabbath - and Christians obedient to Christ's First-Fruits Sabbath Resurrection - gather every Sunday.
Christians celebrate and obey and fulful the requirements of both the Book of Exodus (creation - now a New Creation in Christ Jesus) and the requirements of the Book of Deuteronomy (remembering the Exodus from Egypt - now remembering the true Exodus from slavery to sin and death) by their Sunday celebration of the fulfilment and reality brought about by Christ on the First Day of the week - Sunday. Christians celebrate this on the day of the week Christ accomplished it.
In Christ Jesus Christians through Baptism have already entered the heavenly Jerusalem (Heb12:22) and sit with him on his heavenly throne (Eph 2:6) - they already participate in the eternal heavenly rest - and Sunday is a foretaste of that eternal rest - Sunday Mass (and every day of the week when we go to weekday Mass) we enter into that eternal heavenly community of the angles who forever pray and sing "Holy Holy Holy, Lord God of Hosts.." - this is the Mass - this is what the Mass is for - we don't have to wait for death and for heaven after death - we can come to the heavenly hosts and join with them in the eternal praise of God.
The Jews in their Sabbath keeping remember the week just past - but we Christians put God first in our week - by bringing everything we are and have, with and for Christ - Christ is the First and the Last - Sunday is the First Day of the week so we gather together to offer and give Him everything - and He gives us Himself - truly present in the Eucharist.
Thank you pastor Doug for standing up for God's truth!
16 So don’t let anyone condemn you for what you eat or drink, or for not celebrating certain holy days or new moon ceremonies or Sabbaths. 17 For these rules are only shadows of the reality yet to come. And Christ himself is that reality.
Colossians 2:16-17
The 7th day sabbath in the Ten Commandments was not a shadow. It was instituted before sin entered. It was given to man/made for man Mark 2:27 and is not against us. Jesus expected His followers to be keeping the sabbath after His ascension to heaven Matthew 24:20. The feast days were the sabbaths that were a shadow of things to come and pointed to the cross. We do not celebrate feast days anymore. the sabbath in the Ten Commandments is a memorial of Gods creation and will be kept in the new heavens and the new earth. The sabbath is also a memorial of our salvation Duet 5:15
Isaiah 66:22-23
“ ‘For as the new heavens and the new earth which I will make shall remain before Me,’ says the Lord, ‘So shall your descendants and your name remain. And it shall come to pass that from one New Moon to another, and from one Sabbath to another, all flesh shall come to worship before Me,’ says the Lord”
Revelation 14:12 shows that Gods people at the end of time who experience the mark of the beast will be keeping His commandments.
John 14:15 “if you love Me, keep my commandments”
Happy sabbath!
@@ericfolks1503 TRUTH it was before sin, therefore NOT A SHADOW OF THINGS, someone studied, Happy Sabbath
@@MikeLundquist - it was before Adam and Eve ? That is where sin entered in.
Jesus also said: “Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill.” (Matt 5:17)
And He said to them, “The Sabbath was made for MAN.” (Mark 2:27)
Also: “Therefore the Son of Man is Lord also of the Sabbath.” (Mark 2:28)
And another, “In vain do they worship Me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.” (Mark 7:7)
One more, “Full well you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your own tradition.” (Mark 7:9)
It helps to put THE TRUTH out there!!! LOVE AND BLESSINGS Y’ALL ❤❤❤🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thank you pastor...when I go through Bible I can find only the importance of Sabbath .from Genesis to revelation keeping God's commandments is explained .

Christians celebrate and obey and fulful the requirements of both the Book of Exodus (creation - now a New Creation in Christ Jesus) and the requirements of the Book of Deuteronomy (remembering the Exodus from Egypt - now remembering the true Exodus from slavery to sin and death) by their Sunday celebration of the fulfilment and reality brought about by Christ on the First Day of the week - Sunday. Christians celebrate this on the day of the week Christ accomplished it.
In Christ Jesus Christians through Baptism have already entered the heavenly Jerusalem (Heb12:22) and sit with him on his heavenly throne (Eph 2:6) - they already participate in the eternal heavenly rest - and Sunday is a foretaste of that eternal rest - Sunday Mass (and every day of the week when we go to weekday Mass) we enter into that eternal heavenly community of the angles who forever pray and sing "Holy Holy Holy, Lord God of Hosts.." - this is the Mass - this is what the Mass is for - we don't have to wait for death and for heaven after death - we can come to the heavenly hosts and join with them in the eternal praise of God.
The Jews in their Sabbath keeping remember the week just past - but we Christians put God first in our week - by bringing everything we are and have, with and for Christ - Christ is the First and the Last - Sunday is the First Day of the week so we gather together to offer and give Him everything - and He gives us Himself - truly present in the Eucharist.
So thankful your ministry that continues to churn out solid Bible points in CALM Logical Reasonable manner (especially seeing the difference between your calm presentation versus the vid clips ...) 🙌
Thank you for defending the truth of the Sabbath and all of the commandments. We must pray for that pastor who clearly doesn't have an understanding of the Word of God.
Thank you so much pastor i'm just only 18yrs of age and i pass out my high school from a catholic school as we didn't have an adventist school in and near our locality so i face a lot of partiality as i'm an adventist and heard a lot of criticism and everytime they saw me all they talk to me is criticizing me for being an adventist and even our school principal (a priest) came to me telling me that adventist is wrong but the truth is always the truth so i just tell him few bible verses about Sabbath but a funny part about it is that he didn't know even the meaning of Sabbath he told me that Sabbath is a feast where large crowd came together and celebrate together
Many people are talking ill of adventist but as an adventist let us be strong and go through all the storms of life we are facing as an adventist and let us wait for his second coming with prayer 🥰🥰

Stay strong! Holy Cow, you’re in the lions den!!
I have worked in the Catholic schools… keep your guard up… that double talking priest played you, he knows what the sabbath is… he’s educated, and works for the diocese.🤷🏻♀️🙏😉
Feed yourself the true words as often as you get a chance, so you’re ready for attacks on your belief system.
You’ll be undoing the spiritual abuse, things you’re participating in, in your mind, for years to come.
I seriously remember double praying during the Hail Marys… telling God how sickening it was that this is being said instead of prayers straight to Jesus.🤷🏻♀️😂🤣
I’ll think of you, and pray you are used to bring one more to Christ… that your soul is protected from spiritual abuse, and that you graduate soon.
God be with you and your precious soul…🥰🙏

Blessings Pastor Doug may the peace of God be with you always
Unless I have errands to run (in a relaxed way),or my job requires me, I gratefully rest on Saturday and go to church on Sunday to kick off my week's work.
Thank you pastor, I enraged some church leaders with my comments and questions about sabbath, so they told me I should leave and so I did.
Why would they tell you to leave coz of questions?
They are WEAK !
I will have these questions for Past Doug
Does God kill ?
Does God tempt
If your God does this things then you haven’t read your bible well enough. You know nothing about God
What does it mean for the Sabbath to be made for man and Also if man was made for the sabbath? Think!!
The son of man is Lord of the sabbath. What does it mean. It means the sabbath is subject to him (he created it so in it you should see him(he) the real purpose) and not him subjected to the sabbath.
Think !!
For Christ to say he is Lord of the Sabbath means he is above the Sabbath or the real Sabbath is him . Or he created the sabbath . And he is the real deal of the sabbath. He is the real intent behind the sabbath and why it was created. That there will be a point when we will cease from our works as Gid did cease from his and has rested after creating the new man. The new creation .
So if I ask you . Are you the new man or still the man from Adam or of old??
It was communicated to the fathers as a day because they could not fanthom spiritual things . They were babes. The mode of communication to the fathers were a bit soft.
Which came first the law or Faith?
Is the law of faith ?
Faith was before the law.
Abraham was justified by faith.
Christ and his righteousness was manifested without the law. But witnessed by the law. Keeping the intent of the law.
So when we accept the work which Christ has done we have ceased from our own works to please God and have entered and accepted the real sabbath which is Christ . Into ours. So everyday of our lives is a sabbath because we are in Gods rest . Selah
The Sabbath days where merely a pointer to where and when or whom our righteousness will show up. Think
Hope the veils fall of your eyes.
Now if you ask me if i am keeping the rest of the commandments? I will say Yes. I am fulfilling it not to the letter but in spirit. Because it already became a part of me . Inherent or inborn .
@@J_a_s_o_n bring your Questions to me
SDA is another sect that takes one part of the bible and ignores others that give a fuller picture -- ""Why do Christians worship on Sunday and not Saturday "" is a great short you tube video that explains why it is better to Worship on Sunday if you are a Christian
Praise the LORD! It is refreshing to see a calm defence of the truth. To still give them respect even when correcting them. We truly wrestle not against flesh and blood. I pray and wish that this gentleman and others who have the same belief could watch this video. Let's pray that God pours out a fresh anointing of the oil of The Holy Spirit on him and all of us too.
The serpent did not rant and rave but he deceived just like smug doug
BLESSINGS PASTOR AND EVERYONE IN THIS VIDEO IM SO HAPPY TO SEE THE AUTHOR OF COSMIC BATTLE AFTER 7 YEARS I WATHED IT ON DVD , I BELIEVE IN KEEPING THE SABATH DAY EVEN I WAS RAISED PENTECOSTAL AND BEEN WITH THE APOSTOLICS , SALUDOS DESDE TIJUANA
We should worship God every day 🙏
Thanks Pastor Doug! Always can count on you for a 'word in due season'. All that shrieking actually caused me to panic there for a second.
Don't count on him, count on Jesus and his sovereign power to deliver you from sin and he will deliver from the Adventism movement.

The Old Testament gives us TWO lists of the Ten Commandments - one in the Book of Exodus and another list in the Book of Deuteronomy.
The Ten Commandments in Deuteronomy 5:15 tells us that the purpose of the Sabbath is to remember the Exodus - that is - the Exodus from slavery to Pharaoh in Egypt. If the purpose of the Sabbath in the Old Covenant is to remember the Exodus from slavery to Pharaoh in Egypt, then the purpose of the Sabbath in the New Covenant is to remember the Exodus Jesus Christ brought about by His death and resurrection.
Jesus Christ brought about the true Exodus - the Exodus from sin and death - which the Old Covenant Exodus was only a shadow.
Paul tells us in Colossians 2: 16-17, that not only are the "ceremonial laws" a "shadow" but that the Seventh-Day Sabbath is a "shadow" also.
Here it is in Paul's Letter to the Colossians 2:16-17 :
'16. Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival (that's the annual Jewish feasts), a New Moon celebration (that's the monthly Jewish feasts), or a Sabbath day (that's the weekly Seventh-Day Sabbaths). 17. These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ.'
"Shadow" does NOT mean "done away with", it means "transformed". The Old Covenant Passover feast was not "done away with" but was transformed by Christ himself into the Body and Blood of Christ at the Last Supper.
The sacrifice of the lamb in the Temple was NOT done away with but transformed into the sacrifice of Christ (the true Lamb) on the Cross. The altar in the Temple was not done away with but transformed into the altar of the wood of the cross.
A "shadow" is literally an outline on the ground or wall. A shadow on the ground is not me - I am the real thing - the shadow is only an image, an outline. So too, the "shadow" in the Old Testament has become the reality in Christ at his death and resurrection, which he accomplished on the First-Day of the Week - not on the Seventh-Day of the Week.
The Letter to the Hebrews tells us that the New Covenant is greater than the Old Covenant (Heb 8:6) - and that the New Covenant reality is made present in Christ Jesus - while the Old Covenant pointed to something greater to come - the fulfilment of the Old. Jesus Christ, by His death and resurrection, brought about the true Exodus - not from slavery to Pharaoh in Egypt - but the true and real Exodus from slavery to sin and death.
That is why Hebrews tells us that there is still a Sabbath day for Christians to keep but that it is On Another Day - that is what Hebrews tells us - the Sabbath is to be kept but kept on Another Day - its right there in Hebrews.
Hebrews 4: 8-11, specifically verse 8, shows us its on "another day"
For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day. 9 There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; 10 for anyone who enters God’s rest so that no one will perish by following their example of disobedience.
In addition - by Christ's resurrection on the First Day of the week - Sunday - Christ has brought about a New Creation - which the New Testament confirms - Christ Jesus IS the New Creation and He IS First-Fruits.
There are Sunday Sabbaths in the Old Testament (Lev 23: 9-14) called First-Fruits. God made the Jewish Feast of First-Fruits in the Old Testament to always fall on the Sunday - that is - the Sunday which followed the Saturday Sabbath in the week of Passover week - so Sunday Sabbaths are already given us in the Old Testament - and First-Fruits day is the very day on which Christ rose from the dead following the Passover Last Supper.
God had always planned that Christ would rise on the First-Fruits Sunday Sabbath - and Christians obedient to Christ's First-Fruits Sabbath Resurrection - gather every Sunday.

Thank you Pastor, I been an Adventist my whole adult life everything God says is true Praise his Holy Name and HAPPY SABBATH always. The Lord says that in the last days things would be like this and it will get worst everything YAH saids is true and we see this behavior more and more the closer the time running out.
The vehemence of this speaker who had no Bible open before him or in his hand was pretty astonishing. Very disturbing spirit of delivery. He needs prayer, profound prayer, pitiful state and that of his listeners cheering and clapping. 😔
Love this pastor wish he was in New Braunfels, I would go visit his church. What is even more brilliant about this pastor is his way of addressing the the other pastor's remarks, without judgment without criticism and spoke only the truth of God, he didn't speak his point of view he addressed it with God's truth, well spoken and obliterated it with the calmness and truth of Christ Jesus👏
Amen and amen. God bless those who seek the truth and thank God for pastors like Doug Batchelor who cares not just for his members but most importantly for the truth to be broadcasted
Praise God!
Thank you Pastor Doug Batchelor for FAITHFULLY sharing and teaching God's truth to us and the world. May God's richest blessings continue to fall abundantly upon Amazing Facts, and all His servants that teach His truth with clear evidence, to everyone. Not only on the Sabbath, but every day.
Happy Sabbath.
❤️Micah 6:8❤️
He has shown you, O mortal, what is good.
And what does the Lord require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy
and to walk humbly with your God
One or two scripture verses won’t give us what we need to know how God wants us to live.
“Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts. For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:”
Isaiah 28:9-10 KJV
We have to take some from one scripture to the next to get clear understanding of how we should honor God in our daily lives.
The scriptures read when we obey God then we are his people and he will be our God.
The Bible is instruction on how we should live we can’t pick out what we chose to live by and think we will be In his kingdom
Thank you so much pastor Doug 😊 like you said not even 1 scripture was quoted ...we need to be Watchmen on the wall ❤️
Galatians 5:14 LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOUR
For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: "Love your neighbor as yourself”

@@sandrakennion8856 I don't like to comment but since you gave a Bible verse, please read Ur entire bible and you will see there is no commandment that says you can now lie , murder and commit adultery therefore if the 9 commandments are still relevent why would you imagine the 4 th is not .. without any scriptural evidence..I urge u read hebrews all of it you will get a great blessing u will see Christ ministering for you in havenly places his unchanging law that governs the entire universe..❤️take care
@@tumelomolwantwa5613 Exodus 35:1-3 they were put to death if they did any work on a Saturday. But we Gentiles are not under this covenant, this was for the Jews in the Old Testament Law. We are under Grace. So that is why Jesus is now our rest as he explaines in Hebrews 4: 1-12 God Bless
A thousand times AMEN!!!!!
May the Angel of the Lord keep guiding you and your Ministry❤
Keeping the Sabbath for two weeks in a row. A little step yet took the first step and I pray God that I can keep all His commendments out of love, joy and happiness.
We are all under the law of God. That preacher that said he is not under the law is totally wrong. He needs to read his Bible more. I go to church on Saturday. It's the true Sabbath. Jesus kept the Sabbath. He was our example and he showed us the right things to do and he showed us the true Sabbath. I believe to worship every day, but, the day of rest is the Saturday Sabbath. The Sabbath is not demonic. Those that keep Sunday are being mislead and they don't even know it. We should pray for those people. Pastor Doug I'm so glad you talked about this today because people need to know the truth.
Wonder where Pastor Doug heard someone say that??? And did he speak up???👍👍Love ya Pastor Doug. My questions answered, thank you Pastor Doug! Can't wait for Sabbath School & Church tomorrow.
You worship on the Sabbath as well?

Look at all the beautiful work so many Sunday churches do in their communities! Look at the Dream Center in LA ! Look at all the great ministry Dr. Jack Hayford and the Church on the Way have done for over 60 years in Van Nuys, CA.....Jesus said this ...where 2 or more are gathered together in His Name,, He's in the midst! On every day! True worshippers, worship in Spirit and Truth! Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever!
I am not a 7th day Adventist but often attend Saturday services in a small Adventist Church because after the pastor commences preaching there is a question and answer session where the members of the congregation may ask questions about the preacher's sermon.
In these "Q & A Sessions" I found no discrepancies with my Charistmatic beliefs and am presently trying to bring the various Christian segments together by stressing the similarities between the various sections especially on the dogma of The TRINITY which is really a turning back to GOD CREATING man/Adam in HIS LIKENES which in 1 Thessalonians 5:23 is spirit, soul and body
Please pray for me and my grandma
Dear Father in Heaven,
I present to you Crystal and her grandma. I don't know what is happening, what the situation is but I know that You are all knowing and I know You care. I ask that You intervene in their lives and bring about the change and grant the help that they need. Surround them with an atmosphere of light and peace. I ask that Your will be carried out because of Your promise in Jeremiah 29:11. Forgive us of our sins. This I ask in the mighty and wonderful name of Jesus. Amen.
@@rebelle64 Amen
We love you pastor Doug. And we praise God for the ministry the Lord has put you in. Christ has been lifted up and drawn me to Him from your ministry. Many blessings to you and those who hear you. ❤
Thank you pastor Batchelor, i came from a Sunday background, i always follow your teaching well presented with biblical evidence, my Sunday pastor will one day judge for his or her action.
Thanks you for sharing Pastor Doug! I especially like the biblical references (it helps my studies!!!)
I praise God for you pastor,..He [God] has a man.the spirit lead you to Defend the Truth.Happy Sabbath from Ethiopian 🇪🇹.
Asking for prayer for my children and grandchildren and my self 🙏
THANK YOU PASTOR DOUGH , FOR PREACHING THE SABBATH , BECAUSE IT IS THE HOLY REST DAY FOR THE LORD . EXODUS 20.8 . GREETINGS FROM MOUNT HAGEN . PAPUA NEW GUINEA .
What then has happened to Roman's 10 and verse 4?
Only “love”can make us know the truth thank u paster dough these r words of love so is my creator
I try to shed light about the Sabbath whenever I get a chance and see the opportunity. And many times it is devout church goers or prideful people who reject the truth. I don’t even engage in argument with any1 once I can tell they are not interested in what is true. it’s a very sad experience.. it’s almost mind boggling… sometimes I wonder if I wasn’t brought up SDA would I receive it once it were presented to me? . . Sometimes I cry thinking about how broken hearted my Lord & Captain are. . can’t wait to hug my savior and thank him w 1,000 kisses
Thank you Pastor Batchelor. This was delivered clear, calm and backed up with scripture 😊

The Old Testament gives us TWO lists of the Ten Commandments - one in the Book of Exodus and another list in the Book of Deuteronomy.
The Ten Commandments in Deuteronomy 5:15 tells us that the purpose of the Sabbath is to remember the Exodus - that is - the Exodus from slavery to Pharaoh in Egypt. If the purpose of the Sabbath in the Old Covenant is to remember the Exodus from slavery to Pharaoh in Egypt, then the purpose of the Sabbath in the New Covenant is to remember the Exodus Jesus Christ brought about by His death and resurrection.
Jesus Christ brought about the true Exodus - the Exodus from sin and death - which the Old Covenant Exodus was only a shadow.
Paul tells us in Colossians 2: 16-17, that not only are the "ceremonial laws" a "shadow" but that the Seventh-Day Sabbath is a "shadow" also.
Here it is in Paul's Letter to the Colossians 2:16-17 :
'16. Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival (that's the annual Jewish feasts), a New Moon celebration (that's the monthly Jewish feasts), or a Sabbath day (that's the weekly Seventh-Day Sabbaths). 17. These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ.'
"Shadow" does NOT mean "done away with", it means "transformed". The Old Covenant Passover feast was not "done away with" but was transformed by Christ himself into the Body and Blood of Christ at the Last Supper.
The sacrifice of the lamb in the Temple was NOT done away with but transformed into the sacrifice of Christ (the true Lamb) on the Cross. The altar in the Temple was not done away with but transformed into the altar of the wood of the cross.
A "shadow" is literally an outline on the ground or wall. A shadow on the ground is not me - I am the real thing - the shadow is only an image, an outline. So too, the "shadow" in the Old Testament has become the reality in Christ at his death and resurrection, which he accomplished on the First-Day of the Week - not on the Seventh-Day of the Week.

I'm glad that I have my Bible so I don't get fooled by pastors of any denominations. Neither SDA nor any other man - made denominations.
I'm very thankful to God for the sweet prophecy...that seventh day Adventist have been privileged and Blessed!!!! To have from His Most Holy Word!!! Truth Will prevail....All Truth and if You are seventh day Adventist!!! Praise Our God cause the Understanding of Daniel & Revelation!!! And the whole Bible Gen..to Rev...is miraculous....so I'm grateful to The Father The Son and Holy Spirit!!! So if You are A Christian SDA...than Praise Him every day God Bless Pastors like pastor Doug
@@Mfield111 you sound like a member of a cult. One can praise God for what God has done to save the human race. But to praise the SDA or any other denomination is a clear sign of brainwashing.
Besides, SDA do not understand the book of Daniel, neither Revelation. You don't understand the Sanctuary services, Leviticus, Hebrews. Not even Romans. There's so much in the Bible than what SDA teaches.
Praise God for Scripture! Praise God for Jesus Christ! Praise God for His love for us!
I will never praise a man or a man made denomination. And I don't care if you are a SDA or not. I will praise God with everyone who praises God too.
God bless!
