e-mail and reply on Bible — Sabbath is on Saturday

Comments by W.

>I am a baptized Seventh-day Adventist. I read your statements and agree with

most of them. You made a statement that if the sabbath is not worshiped on saturday

that the punishment is death. This statement is false. God does not refuse entrance

into the kingdom if the sabbath is not worshiped. The way into the kingdom is by

the type of life that is lead. There will be many different people in the kingdom not

just Seventh-day Adventists. I direct you to our founding evangelist

Ellen G. White’s writing for a better understanding to what we believe.

Dear W.,

Thanks for your comments about the Sabbath page.

I didn’t say worship, I said it must be kept — as I said on my Sabbath page in the
following:

On the Sabbath page my comment was:

A lot of people are keeping the 1st day of the week as their Sabbath which according

to the Bible has to be the 7th day of the week. If the Sabbath is not kept on the 7th day

of the week it is a sin and that person deserves the death penalty according to the Bible.

One of the verses I based this on was the following:

Exodus 31:15

15 Six days may work be done; but in the seventh [is] the sabbath of rest, holy to the
LORD: whosoever doeth [any] work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.

What do you think this verse actually says?
