Kenneth Wuest, who taught at the Moody Bible Institute?
The Sabbath was binding in Eden, and it has been in force ever since. This fourth commandment begins with the word ‘remember,’ showing that the Sabbath already existed when God wrote the law on the tables of stone at Sinai. How can men claim that this one commandment has been done away with when they will admit that the other nine are still binding?
—D.L. MOODY, Weighed and Wanting, page 47.
I honestly believe that this commandment [the fourth, or Sabbath commandment] is just as binding today as it ever was. I have talked with men who have said that it has been abrogated, but they have never been able to point to any place in the Bible where God repealed it.
When Christ was on earth, He did nothing to set it aside; He freed it from the traces under which the scribes and Pharisees had put it, and gave it its true place. ‘The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath.’ It is just as practicable and as necessary for men today as it ever was-in fact, more than ever, because we live in such an intense age.
—Id., page 46.
This Fourth is not a commandment for one place, or one time, but for all places and times.
—D.L. Moody, at San Francisco, Jan. 1st, 1881.
DL is of course talking about the false 1st day Sunday Sabbath. I never knew the first day Sunday Sabbath was kept in Eden and written on the tables of stone at Sinai. But, maybe it was in your perfect world? Kenneth Wuest’s perfect world? MHGinTN’s perfect world?
Your guy, Wuest, taught at the MBI. DL Moody says “The Sabbath was binding in Eden, and it has been in force ever since.” Yet, he can’t come up with the right day, even the day that Jesus said to REMEMBER, that He wrote down with his own finger in stone, that He and the apostles are on record as themselves keeping?
“How can men claim that this one commandment has been done away with when they will admit that the other nine are still binding?”

Indeed, Mr. Moody, indeed.
(unless one believes in OSAS then, NONE OF THE COMMANDMENTS ARE BINDING). Indeed.
