00:32 now. We switch folk out as a Joe mentioned, John, it was here that first aired in Z and
00:37 of course, Greg in jail. They. >> They've gone and the leftist not all along, but
00:45 here. And then we had a pastor. John Allman came pastors. Good to have ever
00:50 placed 3 people that shoes here. I'm excited about what's going to be talking about on
00:56 the that fund. It. Yeah. Well, we're going to be talking about the Lord's Day. So we
01:01 want you to get your bibles out. so we we hear this phrase a lot, especially those who
01:09 may be believe in the 7th they Sabha and maybe Adventist or seven-day baptista who have
01:14 worldwide Church of God, whoever, whoever you are. But we talk to people and I said,
01:17 well, I don't keep the Sabbath. I keep the Lord's Day. So we've written a new
01:23 book. We have a number of books that we read and then it came out this past year,
01:26 6 million of them and circulation. So we have work on that. The truth about
01:31 series, the focus on truth about salvation, the focus on truth already out Hellfire and
01:40 also the truth about the 10 Commandments. And so the new one that's on its own stand
01:45 alone is called the Lord's Day. The truth about the Lord's Day. Now it's not out
01:51 for you can order tonight where printing companies are having problems getting the
01:57 paper in we we did 6 million of these. And so that's pretty hard to do right now. But this
02:01 is kind of like a pretty and you've got pre teaser to so that hopefully in the next few
02:08 weeks you will be able to order these. And as always, we're thankful for people who
02:13 sponsor the books and that way we ship them to churches for just basically a postage,
02:20 whatever the postage we're still dealing with all of the and Samantha Day with the
02:26 Civic Preston. And so his work and thank you and on for what you're doing editing. Also on
02:30 the work that you do on this book. But this I've written a lot of books in the last 20
02:36 years. But one of the things that I've always done and it's really helped me a lot and
02:41 writing because I don't see myself as a as a writer, but Pacific Press asked me in 2001
02:47 well over 20 years ago that if I write some books and I did some of the little books on
02:53 the different topics. And one of the things that I did, it said, OK, why is it that
03:02 people kuz out pick up some book may be that our church or somebody is written and hand
03:04 it to them. And it seems to me what people ought to be able to understand this shelling.
03:09 What about this? you don't understand? So what I decided to do work. So I haven't
03:15 changed it is back then. I said, here's the manuscript. Let's say it was on on the
03:21 saboteurs on the 10 Commandments. So I would take it to friends. I had 8 non
03:28 advent not 7 Devin as pastors and friends. So I took to Pastor Methodist pastor said,
03:34 hey, look, I'm writing this little book. Could you help me? I'd like your opinion. I
03:38 want to make sure what I'm saying is biblically accurate. If there's leaving out
03:43 questions, please make some notes and send them to me and I'll correct it. And this
03:49 really you do that. And I said, you know it weak. And I said, yeah, if you show you
03:54 know, I'm willing to change. So we did that. out of those group, 3 of the pastors said,
04:02 you know, a lot before it was over. They all had questions and why you didn't explain
04:05 this text or that 3 of those in the DUP's and we want to be bad times will become
04:11 seven-day, haven't us to Christians. And the other said I I agree with you. Where do I
04:17 see the importance? But they weren't at that time. Just said we don't feel like we can
04:20 make the change. But you're right. So would we do that on different even now we have
04:26 some we're going to be talking to And tomorrow, a Baptist pastor. High up in the Baptist
04:33 Church because this is this is not debate who's are saying, hey, here's what we've
04:39 written. Can you help me? What is it? You don't understand. I was so want to make these
04:44 books clear, John, as so. I'm saying all that. we have a number of people right now?
04:48 You have the manuscripts and some already have. And on the last one I had people said
04:52 you're absolutely right. And she said to woman said her husband, what we what are we
04:57 going to do now? We're going to start keeping the Sabbath came. And so right now we have
05:03 a couple Pentecostal pastors for many, many years who have called and said. Now we know
05:09 we didn't know all of these years. And so now we understand so that's what
05:14 we've been done. So I tell people I didn't really write a book. Other people did we get
05:17 to people so this one as the truth about the Lord's Day. So thank you for all the work you
05:24 did and this for me. >> It was such a blessing because the book is so it's a
05:30 power pack. Little booklet that just goes from a to Z. It covers everything. Everything
05:37 that someone needs to know about the Lord's Day. What is the Lord's Day? How did how
05:43 did Sunday become what Christians today called the Lord's Day. And so it just
05:49 goes into all those things with with your practical sense, your your common sense
05:57 approach to I'm writing and to the way you develop the theme, I think it's just it is just
06:03 excellent. I I do see I concur with was Shelley that it is to me the best, the best work
06:08 that you've done thus far. Now prices as a Good. >> Shelly is got to read it
06:14 yesterday. S >> But it's it was it's coming. It's a quick read.
06:21 sewing read. makes it the best sense as far as just going from point a to point B and
06:29 case included, not just the scriptures. What scientists say about. days of the week.
06:38 It it just covers it all very quickly. Very east. Late and if I It didn't know the truth.
06:49 I think I know the truth. >> What we've done is 48 pages. So isn't isn't long
06:55 read and that's an advantage nowadays because people don't want to read most people, 200
07:00 page or 300 folks, even 128. So we tried to pack as much as we could in this. But John,
07:07 the purpose was is OK, we're going to say what the Bible says about the Lord's Day.
07:13 First, some people who say, well, but what about the days and weeks? So we so well and
07:17 see what science says. We can discover about, you know, which day is Saturday, the 7th
07:25 day of the week, according to science. And we say, well, let's see what the Catholic
07:27 Church they've been. Here's since the late first century, early second century, they
07:32 have a day that they believe the Sunday and the first day and Saturdays the 7th day and
07:38 they've been doing that for 2000 years. And so what about the Jewish people so what day
07:46 did they believe? So we're looking at Sam. Well, all of these years with the Jewish
07:51 Jewish nation have been confused on which is the 7th day with the Catholic Church,
07:54 the confused, which is the first day. What does science say about to change the and
07:59 calendar and all of that and about the dating cycle, then was the Bible say them more
08:04 important? What does Jesus say? And so my thought was when people say, well, we just
08:09 don't know which day. I said, well, Jesus, do we believe that Jesus was there at
08:15 creation of the world which Jews as part of the godhead that created to Earth. And so
08:22 any said, let there be light. And we went to the first day. Second, a 3rd, a all the way,
08:26 the 7th day. And it's a rest of the Sabbath Do you think then when he came to Earth all
08:31 those years later, nearly 2 around 2000 years ago and was born. Here is a human and
08:39 human flash. Do you think that he didn't know which day was the 7th day of the week? As is
08:44 custom was he went to the synagogue on the 7th day Saturday. So from there, it's
08:49 a matter of Bible and science and what everybody else. So we try to packed in here in a way
08:54 that people understand this is not a put down into literally last discuss.
09:02 >> The Lord's Day because that seems to be. >> So we asked a questions and
09:07 I'm gonna turn it into a Bible study and we have a pretty done this to let you each do
09:11 your own but the question would be. Does God have a day? We talk about the Lord's Day.
09:19 If he does have a day is that the same thing? Is that the same day as the Sabbath or are
09:24 they too different? and so where did it come from? And so how do we find out which day
09:32 really is the Lord's Day, OK? Not by going, but to buy encyclopedia says. But what
09:40 does the Bible say? I mean, can we show that God has a day? The Lord has a day. And
09:43 if so, what day is it? >> And also, why is it important? You know, some
09:48 people might say what difference does it As long as I've had people say to me as
09:54 well, it doesn't really make a difference like as long as we all Jesus isn't. You know,
10:00 we're all Christians. What difference does it make it a try to make me feel better
10:03 >> I don't they did. They do. But the real deal is the real question is what difference
10:10 does it make? doesn't make a difference to God org. Can we just whose any day? So I think
10:16 that. >> And was it important to wise up? You know, if you if I
10:19 told you remember how becoming over on July 4th. Remember, I'm going to be there 7
10:25 o'clock. Remember, have all the Dennis set? But that the important I told you to
10:29 remember, and it's a funny this is the only day in the Bible, the only than the Bible
10:36 that begins with the phrase to remember this happened the day to do what to keep it. Holy
10:40 notice. Break that down briefly. The Texas chapter 20 verse 8 and the nexus 21st 10
10:46 makes it very clear. But the 7th the day is a Sabbath of the Lord. Your God. Now, I've
10:53 always put it down to this very narrow point. And we're going go back in moment here
10:57 and just start from the foundation. Bishop, though, the since the pot to begin. If
11:02 it didn't matter to the Lord, he would say remember, now let's just examine that for a
11:07 moment because there are 2 other remembers that a very famous in the scriptures in
11:10 the book of Luke Luke says remember, lot's wife and we words now. What is the message
11:17 there that know theologians argue with the message there is that God calls you out,
11:23 don't look back and have the story. turned to tell us all. The second one is remember the
11:28 creator in the days of your youth element. as his 12 us one. Nobody would argue with
11:35 that. Young folk need to remember the creator and the actual Heber says, remember
11:38 the creative before you get any older. Okay. So so nobody would argue will be no
11:42 contention. The U.S. to remember the creator in the days of the youth. There's no
11:47 contention in any theological circle of remember lot's wife now Solomon said one Dhaka
11:51 looks at the other. God says remember the sap of the keep it Holy and theologians say,
11:56 wait a minute. We don't have to listen to that. Who's behind that? That's a 10 IQ.
12:03 God says remember. Theologians pastors, religious leaders say forget it. But don't forget
12:12 what Solomon said. Don't forget when Lou said why? Because the implications are
12:15 quite different. Remember this app to keep it? Holy? Puts into place the clear identity
12:21 us who the creator of the world is. So why did I say Satan's behind that? Because
12:26 he said Isaiah 14, 14, I will be like the most time. All right. So he wants to supplant
12:33 God and say you remember what Solomon said. Remember what Lou said, but don't remember
12:38 what God said because I want to be like the most high. So what do you do? And we'll find
12:43 out in your book and I'm reading this book, a dentist of really going to be good
12:45 because I like the approach you took. If you didn't know if you don't want to know,
12:49 don't read this but if you read this book what you got to know and but if you if you
12:55 have an opportunity to read it, you don't you are responsible. But you're
12:59 actually responsible if you could know some. >> That's what I'm saying. And
13:03 you don't read it. So you need to read the book >> responsible for what we
13:11 know? He also if there's something that was trying appeal to us.
13:15 >> It will also sell a talent. >> Walk us through. Where does that phrase come from? Because
13:21 so many Christians around the world say, well, I keep the Lord's Day where in the Bible?
13:28 >> Does that share? We r***** when when the more calmly to full-time ministry. He said,
13:32 forget what you think, you know, come sit my seat and I will teach. He took me on a
13:36 study. The sanctuary for many, the light bulb went off. The epiphany was as I'm reading
13:41 this and realize that the 10 Commandments were inside the arc of God that his throne.
13:50 And it was the book at the Cup that was that was rolled up on the outside. That was a curse
13:54 against the people's, you know, cautions to 14. Was it that something that hits
14:01 nailed the curse to the cross. So here's the bottom line. Before ever started watching
14:09 3, then I was 7 keeper for 2 years from studying the Bible. And what this is, what
14:14 difference does it make? In James Chapter, too? James if you break one, you break all.
14:23 I was brought up. Basically young revelation want him believe it is in the spirit on
14:31 the Lord's Day, I taught the Lord's Day was Sunday. Well, that's not what God says. He
14:38 says in the coming and he calls it. My separate cases in Isaiah 58, if you will come to
14:46 me and celebrate my holy day, you know, don't don't let foot trample over my But here's the
14:56 point. As I was studying, I remember I came downstairs once tell J D was woefully
15:04 wrong about the set preached against the 7th. I preached the transference to Sunday.
15:11 did you know in the New Testament there's only 8 scriptures that referred to
15:17 Sunday there. It's the first day of the week. Now there's other first base talking
15:21 about. I think their score others talking about. The states but the first day of
15:27 the week referring to Sunday, only 8 times. 5 of them all had to do with the same that
15:35 on the first day of the week they went it was the resurrection of Jesus. Then
15:39 there's just 3 others and it had to do with him hiding behind the was collect, making
15:49 a collection buying. And Paul preaching in you because all that. But here's the point. As
15:55 I steady through, I went back to Genesis, too. In tennis is too. When God created the 7th,
16:06 it says he's finished with creation and he says Janice is 2 versus 2, 3, that God rested
16:14 on the 7th tee celebrating his creation. It says he less the 7th in Haiti sanctified in the
16:22 creek. That's That means he said it aside for his holy purpose. Only God can make
16:31 something wholly exactly. I think Luke. 23, 55 56 have just got to read this to says
16:38 the women who had come with him from Galle followed after this is after Jesus has been
16:44 crucified. They're laying him in the 2. They observed that whom and how his body was
16:50 late. These are Jesus disciples. Listen to first. 56. Then they returned and
16:59 prepared spices and fragrant oils. rested on the Sabbath, according to the Commandment.
17:08 It's just 3 and a half years. If if Christ, our creator spoke, the 10 Commandments
17:16 wrote them with his own finger on tablets. That is the foundation of his government
17:22 in the senator of the arc. If he were going to change the 7th day, certainly we he would
17:31 have shared this with his disciples. He would have announced it from the
17:35 beginning of of the time. But no, his disciples. knew he didn't put us. Put it aside to
17:44 anoint his body was so important, but they went home and rested on the 7th day Rose
17:52 early on Sunday morning. And then they went to go in bomb him. You know, Danny, you ask
17:58 why it's important. Exodus, 20 shows us that is the memorial God's creation. We wouldn't be
18:08 worried about. Darwin if we knew about God's creation. It also tells us in exit is 31
18:23 Scott says it's a sign between need you that I'm the one who sanctify says. That means all
18:29 my life. I had tried. To sanctify when I celebrated the for 7th, it was true. Rest in
18:39 Christ because I understood what it meant. And Deuteronomy 5.15. Says that we've got to
18:46 remember this habit. So we remember God our So it's a memorial that he's our
18:53 creator. He's the one who sanctify this. He someone who deemed us to me. It changed.
19:02 The way I saw God. It changed the way I worship God. I didn't know the Catholics had
19:10 changed. I didn't know any of the rest. I just knew the Bible was pastor. Thank you,
19:19 Shelly, for those points that are being made about how the Lord brought you into
19:21 understanding the truth is the Sabbath. >> And for their for those who
19:25 think that Sunday as the new day of worship, you only really get about 4
19:29 opportunities because most of the references about first day are referring to the events
19:35 that took place around the death. Taylor resurrection of Jesus Christ. But there are 4
19:38 that a commonly used these 4 that are often referred to as well. Maybe this has to do
19:46 with a new day of worship and one of the most popular ones. Let's go to accept a 20. And
19:49 look at this one. This is the one that and if you have a Bible that has chain right,
19:53 France's in it. Revelation one 10, this is a way to check your Bible. If you go to
19:58 revelation one, 10 where it says and I was in the spirit on the Lord's Day, a lot of
20:06 Bible commentators put in their own notes and many of them tell you to go to ash 20
20:10 of our 7th. So let's go next 7 and see if this has anything to do with the Lord's Day.
20:15 Okay. Here I am. Acts 20 and verse 7. And what are they referring to? X? 24 7, a stall
20:24 with for 6. But when, but we sailed away from Philip High after the days of on leaven
20:32 bread. And 5 days joined a We stayed 7 days for 7. Now on the first day of the week.
20:44 When the disciples came together to break bread. Paul ready to depart the next day
20:48 spoke to them and continued his message on till midnight. A lot of people say, OK, there
20:54 it is. Paul's preaching a sermon on the first day. So this must be a new day of
20:56 worship. Well, how many evangelistic series have we had? And we spoke on the first
21:01 day of the week. We have the men. In evangelism. We have some runs on the first day of
21:07 the week all the time. So this is not the establishment of a new day of worship because
21:13 Paul was simply about to leave to go on a tour of many cities throughout Asia. And he's
21:20 speaking and he's talking all the way to midnight. This is where you get you to kuz
21:22 falling down in verse 9. But the focal point says breaking bread. You've got to ask
21:29 yourself. The question is something breaking bread, a new day of worship? Well, you
21:34 got accepted to first. 46 and you see that the breaking of bread is not the establishment
21:37 of a new day of worship at all because acts to inverse. 46, if your Bible there. says so.
21:46 Continuing daily with one accord in the temple and breaking bread from house to
21:51 house. They ate their food with gladness and simplicity of hearts that this is a daily
21:57 event right nowadays. You might call them small group ministries. So breaking bread
22:01 from house to house was a daily event. So with the breaking of bread on the first
22:05 day of the week. Is not any scriptural indication that the day was changed not to be the
22:11 reason why most look at the next one. Let's go to John Chapter 20 and first one. This
22:15 is another one they say with the disciples gather together for service on the first day
22:21 of the week. Let's see what the Bible says about why they gather together. John Chapter
22:24 20. And let's look at verse one. All right. And it on the first day of the week. Mary
22:37 Magdalene came to the tomb. I was still dark. And saw that the stone had been taken away
22:43 from the tune. And it says. Then she ran and came to Simon, Peter and to the other
22:51 disciples. Jesus loved. And said to them they have taken away the Lord out of the tomb
22:58 and we did not know where they have that laid him. Therefore, went out and the other
23:06 disciples and we're going to the tomb. So they both ran together. And the other
23:11 disciple outran Peter and came to the tune. And it says and he stooping down and looking
23:17 in. So any clots lying there yet he did not go in now, the one I'm actually going to look
23:23 at really quickly here is the disciples gather together for fear, the Jews? Let's pause
23:29 right there. Calls for a second. Let me grab that. Put it in here. First, 1919. And
23:33 it and the same day and evening being the first day of the week, one, the doors were
23:43 shut with. The disciples were assembled for fear. The Jews, Jesus came and stood in the
23:48 midst and said to them peace be with you. Now. Well, they having a church service. They
23:58 were hiding for free. fair? the because this was the day >> of the resurrection. This
24:02 is wait a minute. They killed the Lord. What about us? So they're not gathering
24:08 together. Having a worship service. They're gathering with a hidden behind the doors
24:13 fear of the So you don't see anything that has to do with a new day of worship. But then
24:17 there's a 3rd one first one to inch up to 16. Let's look at that one. So so far we don't
24:24 see. Sabbath mentioned. We don't see Lord today mention we don't see warship
24:28 mentioned. Let's let's look at the 3rd one first Corinthians chapter 16. And this is
24:33 another one. People say, well, you know that collections well, this is an incident
24:38 specifically refers to the famine in Jerusalem. Let's go to first one to inch up to 16.
24:42 And says. Now concerning the collection for the Saints. As I had given orders to the
24:50 churches of elation. So you must do also. On the first day of the week. Let each one of
24:58 you lay something aside storing up as he may prosper, that there be no collections
25:04 when I come. Notice not when you come. when I come well, what does that remind you of
25:12 the Salvation Army when they're about to pick up clothing and food for the
25:16 needy, these to hang this a door hanger in our house in New York City. They put on our
25:20 gate, they say will be back on. They put the date. So have it ready. When I get here,
25:24 this is simply what is being done. If you wait for the down. And it says in verse 3
25:28 and when I come, whomever you approved by your letters, I will send to beer, you know,
25:34 gets to Jerusalem. But it is fitting that I go also they with me. So there was a famine
25:40 in Jerusalem, difficulty for the Christians there. So Paul is picking up from city to
25:45 city collections that they could take the supplies to Jerusalem to alleviate the
25:48 suffering of Christians. But there's no church service held here because this has
25:52 collected during it up in their home. Exactly. It does. He said he lay it Late aside.
25:58 So they'll be no collecting when I come. Not when you come to church when I come and pick
26:03 it up. So these the major. Passages that often used by Christians. Will they get on
26:07 the first day for fear that use while they had a collection in church knows the
26:12 collection in their house. Well, what about breaking of bread on the first day? Well,
26:15 they did it every And so you see that these 3 references make no application to a new
26:22 day of worship Sabbath. Not mentioned Lord's Day. Not mention and a new day of
26:26 worship. this summer. in the breaking of bread, we still say that you want to get that
26:33 break Grand >> Question for line. You know, one of the other things
26:39 that is prevalent, I was watching you too, recently. And in one of Anti Sabbath
26:48 keeper commentators was saying that the Sabbath wasn't enforced until after the
26:58 Commandments. So in other words, and many didn't know about this you know that there
27:03 were there were no laws and given until after the Commandments so which would be
27:10 in the book addresses that. What do you say that the well at that, that's addresses so
27:16 many people say, well. >> it's a Jewish like when I was looking up references, I
27:23 was looking up information on the Internet. John, any time I looked up about the Sabbath,
27:31 the writers of whoever's doing it referred to this Abbott as the Jewish So ice is said and
27:37 the question I bring out my book or statement says, is the Sabbath really a Jewish
27:41 Sabbath? There is. It's a large Sabbath. There's a big difference there trying so the
27:46 Sabbath was established in creation. Then people say yeah, but no one knew about it
27:51 didn't keep it. God just rested. He didn't expect his people to till Moses and the
27:58 10 Commandments. So he gave it to the Jewish people as the Jewish nation. Is there any
28:03 prove and the Bible from the Bible that the Sabbath was camp from creation to most us.
28:11 So I'm going to ask you all that. And so we've covered some of that and the book.
28:15 But, you know, one of the things that that I have to go to, of course, is as Genesis.
28:22 26 5, OK, we're says a neighbor him. Obey my voice. He kept my charge my
28:26 commandments. My statues, my law. It's almost as if God knew in advance the people
28:33 would be saying, no, this is a J** so well, maybe it wasn't a 10 Commandments. So hey, put
28:38 small, it kept. My kept my commandments. My statutes, my laws cover every base. there's
28:45 no way you can get out of that. So these people cap and then one of the points that
28:49 bring out is God gives you when he talks about commandments, he says. And
28:54 with you to turn away a foot from the you know, not doing your own pleasures. All cause
28:58 you to ride and the high places, the Earth and all these blessings wouldn't be
29:03 fair for God to establish a Sabbath. That creation there and then not let anyone go
29:09 enjoy the blessings of to Moses are into that group. >> How much that make? Yeah,
29:13 but here's here's the point. People Miss. The book of Genesis Wells Tennis is 6 just
29:22 in Deuteronomy. Were written by She misses 65th case numbers do not know. written
29:32 by Moses. The Book of Genesis was written after the Exodus of from Egypt. God had Moses.
29:43 A tale. 2000 years of history is covered from chapter one to Chapter 11 of 2000 years of
29:55 history. In 11 chapters. Now, the next few 100 years are it is the patriarch age. So
30:04 people will God doesn't write out his his 10 Commandments. can't separate. Jenna says
30:11 from. Exodus Leviticus numbers and Deuteronomy and you can't. God didn't spell it all out in
30:20 the first part of Tennis's. But you see all through the patriarchal history. They knew
30:27 it was sand to have iPhones. They knew it was a sit. When God. Introduced his covenant
30:35 in Genesis 3.15. Adam They knew his commandments. Yes, it is part of that. You know, he
30:47 told an Exodus 16, we bring sees people out before even spoke. The 10 Commandments in
30:55 just 20 from mountain in all of his pyro techniques and stuff. He told do not gather
31:04 the on the Sabbath because thats my day, I'm going to see if you will. Okay. We are not.
31:11 They already knew they were keeping the Sabbath and what people's mistake is? Well, I
31:19 don't see where he spells out all of the Commandments in Genesis. You say all the
31:25 Commandments are Kip throughout Genesis, 12 to Genesis, 50. God doesn't lay
31:33 it all out. may be even written the book of Genesis after he road exit described
31:37 not sure, but the point is. Go buy just the first 11 chapters of Genesis, which is covering
31:46 2000 years of history, got laid it all out in the book at the Lock.
31:53 >> And the other thing is Abraham wasn't a J**. That's right. You was that he was in
31:58 He was a gentile right from the region of babylonian province. So he wasn't a
32:05 juice. A lot of people say, well, OK, if you keep commands, you have to be a
32:08 J**. Well, Paul, the apostle slams out on the head with a hammer. Let me just read this
32:13 Texan dumping another point out, by the way, if I go to that passage to a point that
32:18 you need a very well, remember, is there a 10 Commandments? How many other
32:23 10? Not but 10. on a MI 5 ares. 22 years ago when I was having a Bible study with the
32:29 Jehovah's Witness, they focus on the Sabbath. They tried to pull the Sabbath out from the
32:33 Commandments. Keep this in mind, you cannot pull the Sabbath out from the 10
32:37 Commandments You cannot its 10. That's why it's called the deck. A log. So the 10 words
32:42 as the the 10 words. It's the deck along deck. Mean 10. So you can pull that out and make
32:48 that a separate issue altogether. Either they all together all none of them at
32:52 all. That's why James, to First 10 to 12 says so speak. And so too, is those that
32:55 should be judged by the loss of liberty. And he says if you violate one, you are guilty of
33:01 them. All. So he does has do not commit adultery do not kill well. If you commit
33:06 adultery, they don't kill you. Still find at the Commandment was if you lie, used to
33:10 violate Commandment, can you imagine the police pull you pulling over Well? I would
33:16 give you a ticket, but that's not in the law. So I let you go. No, he wouldn't pull. You
33:19 have the less you violated some statue in the law. So the very same way, Paul Mason,
33:22 clear. In First Corinthians 7 0st 19 showings in this is a very powerful point because
33:30 people say you have to be a J** to keep the Commandments. Well, Paul, who, in fact, was
33:35 a Hebrew. Notice what he says the first month 7.19, and then as I'm turning there, let's
33:40 all go there together. You have to keep in mind was the ascent in the Garden of Eden.
33:45 Cain killed Abel. Was this in long before the Exodus yes. Well, Romans Fivers 13 but
33:56 cent is not counted where there is no law. Well, there is no law. There is no cannot
34:01 be stopped for speeding at there's no speed limit. Why cannot be guilty of any crime
34:05 if there is no statute against it, can men be guilty of any Senate? There's no law but
34:12 people in thank you show. That was a powerful point that 2000 years was because you get the
34:17 mine. Moses wrote those first 5 books. They were not written before the Exodus after it was
34:23 a recounting pulling it all together. So there was not somebody that road genesis and
34:28 the many, many that the accident happened. If they're written by Moses had to be
34:32 chronologically after the Exodus from Egypt and in the beauty of it, is that which
34:37 point the book, too, is that? >> When God renewed the covenant with ICE Inc. This is
34:43 the everlasting covenant for him. When he knew that covenant with icy. He said the
34:51 reason Henri Hughes, Kushner, father paid all my company, all my statutes. He says. We
34:58 don't save enlisted to help out until you get to Exodus. But Cod new that Abraham was
35:06 keeping them. So don't go by what the first 11 chapters. Oh, God didn't tell them the
35:13 10 Commandments in the Garden. Yeah. We we try to bring out the simple things. But
35:21 sometimes people. >> Overlook them like, well, what is because people
35:24 nowadays you well and I don't like something. Well, that's an.
35:26 >> Well, I can do this or I can do that. The Bible definition Santa is the
35:34 Transgression me right there. I lay should breaking a violation of the law. So if
35:38 that's the Bible definitions centers, first on 3 for yeah is the transgression of the
35:44 breaking of the law. If there's no law, there's no sand. So as you said, John,
35:50 after Adam and Eve in Cain killed his brother Abel and the Lord went I My brother's
35:56 keeper. He knew what he had done. So can we look through the Old Testament all the way
36:00 back the Garden of Eden after Sen and say that where there's the there was a law that was
36:06 broken and that people paid for their sands of car there for this. It's all the way
36:12 through. So to say, well, there was no law until Moses. no, not true. I mean, you can
36:18 see it from the very beginning. So Cain Cain was literally reprimanded by God
36:24 and said, OK, this was going to happen to you because you willfully disobeyed me when
36:30 Jake, it found out that the people with him had idols, he had them get does.
36:35 >> Joy, their So you say all through patriarchal face of versus art Hector's 12 to 50.
36:42 You say all of the other commandments, better mention and we've already established
36:50 that God at beginning of creation. They that was their mistake.
36:57 >> And now so if the Lord got rid of the 7th, he would have to get rid of the
37:04 Commandments. okay because you cannot separate them. This ideology that they exist
37:07 nowadays and theological world. It's atrocious. That pastors are taking the 7th out
37:13 of the commandments to get rid of it like this, something wrong with and that all this
37:16 habit. This is simply the blessing of the last day of the week. At the end of Now,
37:22 if you look at that, tennis is to first one to 3. How could you want to get rid of
37:29 something that God blessed sanctify the made? Holy, you know, high because you don't
37:33 want to keep real reason. So people that are traditionally keeping what they've been
37:36 taught to keep passes at a teaching what they want to teach. You can't separate the
37:41 Sabbath of the Commandments on honest, follow this carefully. The disciples, if anybody knew
37:46 that Jesus was going to get it is happy with what they know. Maybe the first one right. So
37:52 now they are given the commission to take the Gospel to the world. Dave Hennen,
37:55 cars, com's and they now take the cost for the world. Now the apostles. And now would
38:02 they know? of course, that Paul who was later converted from Saul after he was
38:05 converted on the road to Damascus, would he know? and he was a Hebrew. So he would
38:11 know. Now you have an Axe 13. Now this is after the crucifixion. The resurrection,
38:17 the ascension of Jesus and Jesus himself made a statement. And Matthew
38:22 Chapter, 24 believe its First 10. Check it out for me. Shelly, where the Lord
38:26 speaking about the destruction of Jerusalem. He says when it happens prey that you don't
38:34 have to have made in the winter or on the Saturday. His that was in the year. 31 ad
38:37 when Jesus made that statement right? Jerusalem was destroyed. 39 years later.
38:43 Yeah, Jesus had no intention of the Sabbath. Still standing. He wouldn't say one
38:47 destruction comes pray that it doesn't happen on the Sabbath. That exact because he wouldn't
38:51 be. So not only about that because I'm going to get rid of it. Now. But here's the
38:55 question. Put this in your head and shoot around what is what's wrong with the But
38:59 you've got to get rid of it, right? But all that it was blessed animated only. All
39:03 right. So here's the point. Accepted 13. The Sabbath mentioned, they kept the
39:10 Sabbath Axe. 13 was 14 to keep the Sabbath X 13. 27. They can't. They read every Paul
39:15 read every Sabbath. In the synagogue extorting verse. 42 Paul and Barnabas Priest in
39:22 Antioch on the Sabbath. And the whole city came together to hear the word Jews and
39:28 Gentiles came together to hear the CEP on the Sabbath came to hear the message Axe 13. 44
39:33 says on the next Sabbath, almost the whole city came together to hear the word of
39:36 God. There was no issues with the Sabbath until Rome decided to change it. About 100 years
39:43 later, acts 15 verse. 21. For Moses has had throughout many generations. Those who preach
39:51 him in every city being read in the synagogues, every sabbath AK 16 and on the
39:57 Sabbath day, we went out of the city by the riverside and we sat down and spoke to the
40:00 women who met there Axe 18. This is huge axe, 18 verse 4 and he's Paul reason in the
40:09 synagogue, every Sabbath and persuaded both Jews and Greeks. So we have Jews,
40:12 Gentiles and Greeks. Every Sabbath there. There. And it says and how long the do that
40:18 and verse 11 annex 18. And he continued there a year and 6 months teaching the word I've
40:23 got among them now said that up that 78 weeks in a row, Danny and Yvonne and Shelley
40:31 78 weeks in a row, Paul preaches to Jews, Greeks and Gentiles. This is after the
40:35 cross. Jesus is gone to heaven. The question you have to ask yourself here is either
40:40 they are insane and their minds of messed up. Well, they're still following the
40:44 Lord, but the Lord kept intact. And so when I say the second is true, because
40:49 there's nothing wrong with the Sabbath, but people today, traditionalist and those who
40:52 want you to believe otherwise. Let's say this got to be something wrong with it. So
40:58 we've got to get rid of it yet because it's a sign of the create a ship of God. Let me
41:01 give you the is the was Matthew Twenty-twenty prayed that your flight at the 2020
41:07 you may not have netted 24 20 that flight may not the land on the during the winter.
41:15 >> You know, here's the point. Is that. The Bible says it was Jesus custom. He kept this
41:26 cases hate the Sabbath wasn't made for Our man wasn't made for this. The Sabbath was made
41:32 from and not man for the Sabbath. Heat created to be a blessing He said. The little
41:42 word of this time. So we see that What does he say in Matthew? 28, when it gives us
41:50 the crate Commission, Hayes says go. And that highest man in the name of the father, the
41:57 son and the Holy Spirit going to all the world. Teaching them to observe all things I
42:03 have commanded Great 10 Commandment Hall of Love. >> He didn't change it. If he
42:11 was going to change it. He would have shouted it from the rooftop and why didn't he's
42:16 tie on the car cross in the first place? He died to pay the penalty for our
42:23 transgressions of the law. If God, we're going to do away with the 10 Commandments in
42:29 died in vain. OK? >> Doesn't that son? And he paid. Penalty.
42:40 >> On the cross and but it's good. >> Were not saved by keeping
42:46 this app with were not safe by keeping. the Commandments, we're saved by grace through
42:51 faith in the b*** of she says. But we are saved Ephesians 2.10, says that were caught
43:00 swore Manship. That heat. We are to walk in the good works. He created before hand forced
43:06 to walk. You know, I see the 10 Commandments. I did growing up. I wasn't brought up to
43:12 believe I was brought up that they were nailed to the cross. >> But I remember my
43:17 grandmother began. Promoting this. She even gave his team can I took him down off the
43:24 wall? I was like you legalistic thing. I didn't know it was about worship. But
43:30 I don't seek God's Commandments. Us being restricted. I see it like I'm
43:37 running on this cliff. The life and God has hitched to me and him protection. He's put a
43:49 rail appear in a real up there and he and who are just my path to rent.
43:52 >> He's keeping me. >> Yes, from sending. But he he teaches me his sway. I
44:01 think his commandments. >> Are a I think >> you bring this out in the
44:09 book to really well, legalism versus obedience. You know, you play one of the issues
44:16 that we get a lot was people who who want to fight the whole idea of the 7th. is.
44:23 It's legal list. IQ to keep the 77. Well, first of all. What's legal is think about
44:33 being obedient to what God says nobody says is legal list. A cannot slap your
44:38 mother or is legal listing, you know, says has to, you know, going to dishonor your
44:44 parents or if you're going to kill someone or if you're going to commit adultery.
44:48 Nobody's saying that's legal estate, but >> only about the Is it legal
44:54 to stick? And I love point that you bring out about Sunday keepers right?
44:59 >> And have this going to say we bring it out in the book. We say and because these are
45:03 personal, a lot of this writing us from a personal conversations with people. As
45:06 I was telling you. So I had people that told me when we gave them transcript of the
45:11 last book, they said, but Sabbath keeping is Legalism. And I said, why Well, you keep
45:20 this day and we're free from the law. So let me ask a question, do you go to church
45:26 every Sunday? Oh, yeah. I said most of you go Sunday and Sunday night, right? Yeah. So
45:29 it not legalism. Well, know I So why >> Why isn't the only goal is
45:37 and if you go, we just I go on the day. Other words, we go on the day that God set aside and
45:45 said to go his Lord of the Sabbath misses the says Seven-day Sabbath, but you
45:49 decide to go on a day that the Catholic Church is not in. So we're just saying what the
45:54 Catholic Church themselves Klayman, what history shows us. And so I repeat much in
46:00 here with the Catholic Church right himself. Again, not as a negative to them, but just
46:04 their bold enough to say we changed the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday. The first
46:10 day of the week. So I say so you keep that. But you do it every week just like I do. But
46:17 I don't you don't think definitely go that well, no, no, that's not. And it a milo
46:22 common. My mind is very simple in that slight. Well, I very logical. the difference? You
46:30 know, there is no difference. difference is we're doing with the Lord says, and they're
46:32 doing what tradition says. >> Let's not lose the argument here, the Sabbath and this is
46:37 why people choice. It will show you where the Sabbath as mentioned at the New
46:39 Testament. Yeah, I had one guy say to me this happens not mentioned in the New Testament
46:45 its mention 60 times, the phrase first, Dana, first of the week. But the face first
46:50 day's only mentioned 12. That's 5 times more the Sabbath. This mentioned. But
46:54 there was no issue with the Sabbath in the in Christ Time. There's no issue with the
46:59 Sabbath in the Old Testament was no issue with that. Given this kind of a given, it was a
47:05 given just like what we are here with a matte of fact, the not affect the Romans
47:09 historically from 3, 0, 3, the 3.13 ad under Roman Emperor, Christianity had grown so
47:15 rapidly. The Roman Emperor dietician for 10 years tried to stamp out the Christian
47:19 Church. And then watch this now. But then Roman Emperor Constantine comes in about
47:25 3.16. 3 get about 3.16 ad reverses it since the Christian Church is not being
47:33 stepped up. A growing under this persecution, Roman Emperor Constantine comes into
47:37 becomes friends to the he says, this back. What? Let's not if we can beat him. So it
47:45 becomes friends of the Christian. Know your history. Any establishes another day.
47:52 Instead of trying to get rid of the 70 established as another day and says this is a
47:57 feast day. This is a a family should gather together, have big food and have great feasts
48:04 and then he put out a law and made the Sabbath. He called it. Judy Ising. He's the first
48:08 one that tagged it that way. Judy icing. So we made it a burdensome day. A legal listed
48:13 day a day that let's give it a Christian church. So him. But then by the a 3.21, a teammate
48:20 3.21. made the law that no one should be found. Judy Ising the only ones that didn't have
48:26 the only ones that will omitted from keeping Sunday with those who had stocks and
48:29 and animals. But here's the biggest argument. Danny, this is the Texan cautions. We had
48:34 mentioned all the program. Well, they said let no one meats and drinks in new moons
48:39 and Saturdays. They say you go. The Lord nailed to the cross. Well, I think on
48:44 another program we should address the fact that this is a small as they're worth 13
48:49 ceremonial savants. do with leaven bread face the trumpet feast Tabernacles. All these
48:57 that were part of the ceremonial system. But none of them had to do with the 7th
49:02 Day Sabbath that I was blessed that the of the creation. it says right there in the tasks
49:07 that they I mean, he's talking about drink-offering use in foods.
49:10 >> And said this, the annual San U.S. and he says they were a shadow of things to come.
49:18 All right. So you're not have to keep that the space. But what I love, Danny is your
49:22 book makes very clear. You quoted Mark 7, 7 through 9. I think several times. Let me
49:28 read it to you because if you Danny was safe, if you think that it's being legal estate
49:36 to go to church every Saturday, but you're not legal estate because you're going to
49:42 church every Sunday. Here's what she said. Oh, wow. Oh, they worship me teaching S
49:51 stock turns the commandments of being for laying aside the commandment of God you hold
49:57 the tradition of He said all too well you re check the commandment of God that you
50:05 may keep your tradition. How even the Catholic Church says. All Protestants and people
50:14 just don't know. Protestant history, but they say all of the Protestants with exception
50:19 of He said Catholics say they boast about solo scripture and scripture online yet there
50:26 following the Catholic Church's tradition of Sunday. Talk about that. So I would go
50:35 ahead. This this is one the most powerful aspects of this book to me because you show
50:39 how the Catholic Church takes total responsibility for the change. They said, quote, they
50:47 Protestants have continued to observe custom, even though it rests upon the authority of
50:52 the Catholic Church and not upon an explicit text in the Bible that observance remains
50:59 the reminder of the mother church from which non-Catholics ex broke away
51:04 like a boy running away from his mother but still carrying in his pocket. A picture of
51:10 his mother or a lock of her hair. This is saying it's no secret. Says the Catholic
51:17 Church claims to have transferred the sacredness of the 7th day Saturday Sabbath
51:22 to Sunday and one more quote, of course, the Catholic Church claims that the change was her
51:28 act and the act is the mark of her ecclesiastical power and authority in religious
51:34 matters. End quote. And what does this the word and the Cat site. And when we talk a God's
51:41 market already. >> And creations in the center of the 4th Commandment, the
51:47 that he's the creator, God to show who he is as smart. But then they say we have our own
51:53 mark in asked to change that Sabbath that I mean, it's amazing. But here's the thing
51:58 about it again. Got has people on all charges. We realize that. So we're not there is
52:04 quite a bitter stuff in here that not only from prod or stun riders, but Catholic
52:08 Church that are saying which is amazing to me is very bold and some of this I've never
52:13 read. I'm a lot of research. They actually say, I mean shell. And to me, this is a
52:19 prize. We're not going to give the Protestants one crumb of bread. This priest not won
52:25 krom. >> To live on to try to use the Bible as an excuse to go
52:30 to church on Sunday because there is no biblical. Scripture is not. So even the
52:35 Catholic Church says so. For those of you, Protestants who still don't get we're going to
52:41 go over these 8 scriptures and Sunday scriptures that you tend to use to try to say this
52:47 is biblical raise indicate this Saturday and then they explain like you 2 are doing
52:54 long ago, John, this is not about keeping the Sabbath. This is breaking bread. This
52:56 is hiding for fear, the Jews and I mean, they are bold enough. So what we've done in
53:00 this little book we put together. Statements from the Catholic Church, even some of
53:07 the Protestant. We have Modi and others that we've used to mean that says this Sabbath is
53:14 still the Sabbath and some of them actually grab. This there's so many of these
53:19 people who doubt then we talk about the science of it, which would work show you on the 10
53:24 Commandments, twice removed, showing that while the calendar was changed in the
53:30 days of the weekly cycle will never change. >> I just want to say one real
53:34 quick because running out of time. This book is not shaking your fist in somebody's face
53:41 now are pointing a finger. It's so loving and just you're talking as if you are sitting
53:46 here talking to someone. It's something that in fights the person to come along and it's
53:55 not condemn the toy It's just very explanatory. >> Yeah, thank you know, we're
54:00 all sinners saved by Grace, a on and, you know. >> Catholics, let me just make
54:04 this what Catholics, the leadership don't. Hi the issue. Yeah, matter of fact, I
54:09 could just hold up right here. This is up from the Catholic. This the Catholic pick Sunday
54:14 is not the Sabbath and it's the Catholic website. This list does one of the most
54:18 this, the Catholic Church one of the most appealing teachings of the 7th Day
54:21 Adventists the nomination is their insistence that Christians must obey the 10
54:25 Commandments. All of them, they rightly expose the air and thinking among many
54:31 Protestant Christian sects that claim we don't have to keep the Commandments for
54:34 Catholic Saint given all agreement on this point, the 7th day of that is commonly
54:39 asked the question. If you believe we have to keep the 4th commandment, why on
54:42 Catholics Lights went attend Mass on Saturday or Sunday and their answer is because of
54:48 their traditions. >> While they don't argue with them, they just say it
54:51 outright hatred. yeah. So and is due to said you throw away the commandment of God.
54:58 >> And again, no, it's not a crisis. And we're all center say by great. Yes, but when
55:03 God gives us lie, then it's our responsibility and privilege to share that. And
55:06 so to be able to do this, this was for me, some of the history that I really started
55:13 in 2 and I've written books and co-written with you. But it was a mile or things for
55:17 me. How important. And it all comes down to worship. are we gonna sir? We're going to
