I’m actually preparing a sermon. I’m not a pastor but have been asked to preach and it takes quite a long time to prepare. I’m under a lot of pressure this week and don’t have time to try to try to untangle your understanding of the gospel and the law. But if you are in fact an Adventist, as I suspect, I’d love to see you free from the bondage that group heaps on its members. I have family ensnared by Adventists and, while sincere, they are ignorant of the Scriptures. They don’t understand Christ sets us free from the demands of the law for righteousness. Come to Him, He will give you rest. You can’t add your works (law keeping) to grace. Grace and works cannot mix (see Romans 11). Christ is rich in mercy and mighty to save. He doesn’t need man’s help to save. He has paid the sin debt in full.

“I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.” Galatians 2:21

Please watch those videos and God bless.

I am a Sabbatarian as was Jesus. Well, if you have to resort to videos to explain your position then I feel sorry for you. When it comes time to explain to Jesus why you have forsaken His perfect Law (Ps. 19:7) and your excuse is you saw a video, that my friend will not cut it. Nobody is arguing the straw man arguments you say we are saying. My works do not save me. I know this.
What did Jesus say "If ye love Me . . . do what? (hint John 14:15). The question is "Do we love Jesus"?
