Jhnve alwajs snld a:iil to some ex-
tent say jet that the Ai'venls eoncep-
tlon or understanding of Gods (ire.it
Plan of Salvation is in mnny re-
spects much higher than those of
the other Isms; but if the lies! bruins
of the Advents make many more
such scriptorial blunders as was
maile hj the able in some respects
Elder Nuncs concerning the observ-
ance o" the 7th da) of the week lhe
will be forced to by the thinking
people to take u back number of all
the other Isms or the world.
The scriptures do not teach and
no thinking person -an be made to
believe that God has made a ipies-
tlon of life everlasting or death eter
nal ccpcnd-int upon tin keeping of
certain days. The scriptures xpe-
cINcall) warns all who would be
followers of Jesus Christ to let the
world judge them by the Trulls of
the spirit and not by the keeping of
certain dajs. Gal. 5:22-23; Col. 2:I(i
and 17. It is true that I lie law cov-
enant relating to the keeping of the
"ith da. and all other features of that
law covenant was binding upon the
Jews with whom It was made and it
Is Hill binding upon all Jews who do
not believe Jesus Christ to be the
Son of God hut it was neVer binding
upon the Gentiles for the reason that
.lliey wcr nvr a part toil. All Jews
who accept Chrlstas the Son of God
and consecrate themselves to follow
hliti are not undr the Law Covenant
but under grace and Ibe only law
binding upon them is the law of love
(.nl. :. III.
In order to more fully understand
we should know for what purpose
was the Law Covcant given. The
scripture informs us that the Law
was given lo the Jews to sevc them
as a teacher or instructor In Ihe
rudl.nciistary principles of Godliness
anu lo help all the humble minded
to be ready to pass from the house of
Servants into the Houssc of Sons
whcuChrist came. Gal. 3:2I2."; but
all who fail lo do tlieii best under
the Law Covenant wasnol permitted
lo pass out of the Ilouseof Servants
into the House of Sons and therefore
they remain under the Law Cove
rani. Iruotlier words to simplify
the matter let us suppose that wc
are preparing persons for school
teachers; their schooling would be
gin with the rudiments or first grade
principles and Ihcj would remain in
Hint grade until 1 1 icy gave salisfac
lion before Ibe Laws or rules for
piissiiif; until thev complied there
villi. Soltlss wilh the Jews; all
must remain under the Law Cove
mint until they accept Christ which
is the passing mark.
While the Law Covenant reprc
scaled only the A.H.C principles of
Dcvint I.awvjcl sinful man has nev
er been able lo keep it perfectly.
Jesus Christ was the only one that
ever kept the Law perfectly and
therefore He captured the prize
Life Everlasting that was offered
to any Jew who could do it. After
capturing the Prize He has arranged
that the Jews may pass from under
the curse of the Law by haaving
failh in him and following in his
foot steps. All Jews that are follow
ers of Christ do more by faith than
Is required of them under the Law
Covenant. Insead of giving one
tenth lo the Lord Ihcy give all; in
stead of keeping one day as a sab
hath unto the Lord they keep every
day for they have entered into their
rest (Heb. -1:3). The Gentiles (All
persons not decenddents of Ahra
liuiim) have never been under the
Law Covenant and therefore have
nothing whatever to do with this
7th day sabbath except to note lis
tlpical significance as foreshadow
ir'ft the Illesslngs of the Millenium.
Kindly understand me. I am not
interested in any of the Isms. I am
