Thanks Jeremy for the Eusebius reference. Here is an interesting quote from Eusebius regarding the Sabbath from http://ancienthistory.about.com/library/bl/bl_text_eusebius_iii27.htm "There were others, however, besides them, that were of the same name, but avoided the strange and absurd beliefs of the former, and did not deny that the Lord was born of a virgin and of the Holy Spirit. But nevertheless, inasmuch as they also refused to acknowledge that he pre-existed, being God, Word, and Wisdom, they turned aside into the impiety of the former, especially when they, like them, endeavored to observe strictly the bodily worship of the law. These men, moreover, thought that it was necessary to reject all the epistles of the apostle, whom they called an apostate from the law; and they used only the so-called Gospel according to the Hebrews and made small account of the rest. The Sabbath and the rest of the discipline of the Jews they observed just like them, but at the same time, like us, they celebrated the Lord's days as a memorial of the resurrection of the Saviour." | ||

Eusebius is talking about what SDAism would be in the days before what was and wasn't in the Bible was decided. I mean, imagine if SDA's weren't bound to say that every book in the Bible is inspired and true! This would be it!  That pesky Apostle Paul who causes so much misunderstanding about the LAW, you know? Who says he's actually an Apostle... that's a mere tradition of men! I guess the above is an exaggeration but you know what I mean. Jeremiah |
