A Sunday law is concerned with what can or can't be done on Sundays. It is not concerned about any other day of the week, including Saturdays. *So how does a "Sunday law" suddenly transform itself into a "Saturday law"* where people are executed for merely worshipping God the Sabbath?
How exactly does a *"SUNDAY" law* regarding what is done, or not done on the first day of the week, somehow result in an enforcement of the death penalty for others who happen to worship on "Saturdays"? A Sunday law by definition only regulates what is done on Sundays, and not Fridays, Saturdays or any other day of the week. It appears that what SDAs are really afraid of some type of *"Saturday law"* .
Thank you for this well-made message. It is instructive to to remember that although Jones was a great champion for God in 1888, he later went into deep apostasy. We need to make our calling and election sure every day.
A. T. Jones started seeing the problems with Adventist eschatology. Adventists place the start of the "time of the end" in 1798. That was 226 years ago which stretches the normal meaning of the "time of the end" way beyond the natural meaning. All the early SDAs pioneers were all certain that the time of the end was at hand just after the great disappointment. That "time of the end" is now 180 years ago. Surly they wouldn't have expected the world to have gone on this long. What if Christ has not come back in 180 years from now? Will Adventism still insist that the "time of the end" started in 1798?

"Know this first of all, that in the last days mockers will come with their mocking, following after their own lusts, and saying, “Where is the promise of His coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue just as they were from the beginning of creation.” For when they maintain this, it escapes their notice that by the word of God the heavens existed long ago and the earth was formed out of water and by water, through which the world at that time was destroyed by being flooded with water. But by His word the present heavens and earth are being reserved for fire, kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly people. But do not let this one fact escape your notice, beloved, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day. The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not willing for any to perish, but for all to come to repentance." (2 Peter 3:3-9 NASB)
@@Gheorghe99 Please know that I am not mocking the second coming of Jesus. However, I don't mind being labeled a "mocker" by the Adventists who to this very day try to assert a coming Sunday Law is "just around the corner", and yet after 175 years of saying it is "soon" it never emerges. Like the Millerites the SDAs have mud on their face over being wrong so much. Since the late 1800s, Seventh-day Adventists have seen the arrival of this universal Sunday law in every crisis. Each time, they suppose that this "crisis" will be the one that finally brings in Sunday legislation. For well over a century, any world crisis-whether it be the COVID pandemic, or climate change, or the world trade center bombing-is seen as the trigger mechanism that convinces lawmakers to abandon all reason and bow down to the papacy and institute a National Sunday Law. However, each time, the crisis fades and the National Sunday Law conspiracy never materializes. Then, they start looking for the next crisis. I have personally witnessed this pattern for decades. These people live in a constant state of paranoia.
@@Gheorghe99 Respectfully I need to point out that there is nothing in the Bible about *"the first day of the week"* ever being forced upon anyone at anytime, let alone as an "end time test" for all of humanity. Recall the saying "If it's in the Bible we want it. *If it's NOT in the Bible we don't want it"* .
@@NoSundayLawComing No, I have never heard the saying, but I recall Sola Scriptura. Trinity and Rapture are terms used in Christianity that are not explicitly mentioned in the Bible, but there is enough textual evidence to support both ideas. By your reasoning, you do not believe in either because the Bible doesn't specifically mention them. Similarly, the Sunday Law is alluded to in Daniel 7:25 and Revelation 13:16-17, which talk about an early power that will demand worship. Knowing that the vast majority of Christendom worships on Sunday, on what day do you think people are going to be forced to worship? Moreover, in many states, there are commercial restrictions already in place called Blue Laws. Although these laws have been greatly relaxed or ignored, they are still in place in some states. In Colorado, for example, car dealerships are prohibited from operating on Sundays. Southern states only recently passed legislation allowing the sale of alcohol on Sundays. Anyone who takes Bible prophecies seriously, which say that God’s people will be persecuted, can see that it is just a matter of time before these laws are reinstated or new ones are put in place. Have a happy Sabbath!
I think the only way my friend that a Sunday Law can happen is if the SDA Church introduce and enforce a Sunday Law themselves. No one else has any interest in introducing one. SDA's can run around persecuting one another to give it some sort of reality. They seriously err because they reckon Rev chpt 13 hasn't happened yet and it's mostly from this chpt they get their funny ideas. They are still waiting for the Bear to come out of the North as well. 😆 They claim the Papacy ruled for 1260 which is simply not the case, hence their imaginary prophetic date of 1798. The Papacy dominated for about 500 years, at a maximum stretch 600 years one could possibly argue, but for a period of 1260 years is nothing more than SDA fiction. Another problem they have is that neither the Papacy nor America get any kind of mention in Scripture, non whatsoever. Daniel doesn't mention them and these two entities did not exist when John wrote his letter to the seven first Century Churches. I think they need to go back to the drawing board and start all over again. 🙄🤔🤓
@@sjsm8578 It was not based on avoiding Roman persecution.

Yes, Satan has been busy trying to get Christ's followers to break the 10 Commandments ever since the Garden of Eden. Let's remember what God said to "Remember".
They were, one was because they were afraid of being persecuted, two was because of compromise to welcome the pagans, third was because of apostasy. Not because of anything coming from the Bible.

Sabbath blessings. Mercy!

Bro, the majority of early Christians were already gathering on Sundays as the day of the resurrection long before Constantine made it a Roman Law.
As a means of distinguishing themselves from Jews and avoiding Roman persecution, not because of obedience to the 4th commandment
