Creation and the Sabbath – Hebrews 4:4

Samuele Bacchiocchi continues his defense of the creational origin of the Sabbath by looking at Hebrews 4:4.

Bacchiocchi sees this as the most explicit reference to the creation Sabbath found in Hebrews because two Old Testament texts (Genesis 2:2 and Psalm 95:11) are welded together. Geneses 2:2 traces the Sabbath back to the creation and Psalm 95:11 “includes the blessings of salvation” that are found in entering God’s rest. (Hebrews 4:3, 5, 10).

James Owens – A Centurion

The Adventist church used to promote the work of evangelists who baptized more than 100 people in a year. They called them centurions. Around the 1980s the church stopped publishing baptism information for its pastors.

However, these centurions still lurk around the country. There are probably more than I can know, but I have recently become aware of one who I have known for years. Pastor James Owens of Longview Heights SDA Church in Memphis Tennessee.

Dr. Carlton P. Byrd and Tremendous Growth in Atlanta

The Berean SDA Church in Atlanta Ga is experiencing tremendous growth under their pastor, Dr. Carlton P. Byrd.

In Nashville, which many had over the years referred to as a difficult place for baptisms, Dr. Byrd baptized over 100 people in 4 of his 5 years there.

Sabbath Permission to Stop

When I was buying my house, I was speaking to our Realtor. It was a Friday and we were not gonna be able to finish our work. She told me that we could finish the next day, I told her we will not be able to finish the business on the next day, because it is the Sabbath.

The Most Divisive Book in Adventism – Questions on Doctrine

In 1957 a Book was Published that forever changed the Adventist church. That book is entitled Seventh-day Adventists Answer Questions on Doctrine or simply Questions on Doctrine.

Evangelical Leader’s Questions

These questions were presented to certain Adventist leaders by leading evangelicals Walter Martin and Donald Grey Barnhouse. As a result of the answers Martin and Barnhouse concluded that Adventists may be deluded and wrong, but they were Christian brothers.
