Based on the quote above, looks like the great Protestant Reformer didn't play the "law is fulfilled so we can abandon it" game. Wesley knew the difference between the moral law and the ceremonial laws and he knew when the Sabbath was "made"..before sin! For all time. He would laugh at today's evangelicals who make it an issue with the "law" when it's really about the Sabbath in the law. They ain't kidding no one but themselves with their picky choosey laws like abortion, homosexuality, etc. Get outta here.

We regularly get cult members here who try to use FR to promote their cult.

Which Sabbath did he refer to, then? Saturday (the biblical Sabbath) or Sunday, the modern day Sabbath?

I believe that the seventh day is the day of rest. I don’t see how Sunday replaces that. That doesn’t mean that we can’t worship on Sunday.

Oh Goody. I wondered when our resident SDA troll would show up to post another useless daily Religion thread only for flame and insult purposes.

What if time travel was a thing?
And seven thousand years was the setting?
And the sons of Eli were somehow involved?

It is Important to know that throughout his life, Wesley remained within the established Church of England, insisting that the Methodist movement lay well within its tradition.
That was only one degree of separation from the Roman Catholic Church. Why should anyone have questioned his belief regarding keeping the Sabbath holy?

Don’t make it too complicated. Just read Romans 14.

Not to be blunt but Gentiles aren’t part of the covenant. So there is no obligation for you to follow the law.
Now, is it a good idea? Probably. It’s valuable to all.
But the laws required of gentiles are the Noahdic laws, which exclude Shabbos as a requirement. (In general, they are otherwise largely overlapping on moral issues.)
