d~Ispensation TO sanother, il must be
done by the same signs and miracles
rs Was manifested at the giving Of the
Law; but as there was no such display
Of powers shown to introduce the law
in the christian d~ispenss,ion, therefore
We have no law in the christian dispen.
except what was given by the apo.tles
after the day Of pentecost, for all laws
essential WAS given after pentecosi.
| Then he stated that Christ or his apps.
| ties intensified all Of the decalogue ex.
cept the fourth commandment and "A
| the sabbath command Is contained in
that and Is the apostles did not say
that we should keep it we are under
no obligations whatever 10 keep it.
The first two commandments, he said
were intensified when spoken TO Satan
Luke As also that the law has no pen
atty and q law without . penalty is oi
no force and You have tO:.go down.to
the Law in the side Of the ark for a
penalty 10 enforce the law in the ark"
| The ten commandments ID called the
law Of Moses and has no mercy and
knowssnothing but death. We want u
q law Of life TO free us from the law Of
| sin and death.
SECOND AFFIRMATIVE
Elder c. followed 10y first answering q
few objections. First, Several asser.
tions and no proof. The Question Iis,
Resolved That the scriptures teach
that sabbath of the fourth command
ment is binding upon all christians at
the present time" Elder T. still con-
tends:that Christ existed before the GRE
alton also that he was q personal being
Heb lib $40 Col. l:l2-l6. One OBJ
lection that the earth was created in
six. indifferent periods. This he show
| ed was unscriptural a. in each account
Of Gen ! it reads, The evening and the
morning were the first day, &c" and
that the last four days were ruled by
the sun. Besides six indefinite
periods are equal to one indefinite per.
iod. This is the conclusion that our
brother is driven to by having the law
abolished at the crosses" He saws
THE apostles did not command us to
keep the sabbath therefore We are not
Obliged to keep it," HE forgets then
that there would be a space of time
from the crucifixion until ~pentecos,,
that they had no sabbath nor law on
s~cquently no sin for sin is the trans
erosion of the law LIST John "a; Rom.
AIS" We call for q text that says
that the ten commandment IL the law
Of Moses. WhereS did christ quote all
the three commandments. II he did
not quote the Sabbath t o the young
man in Matt. l9: l6-22 we want to
know if he quoted the 3rd, End, or LIST
commandment to him? Christ did
MT come to destroy the law rs he af.
firms in Matt. Sill but to fulfill. Now
to insert the w~ord:destroy as some of
our friendsl would Shave it. it would
read thus: Think not that
am come to destroy the law but to
apply the law to destroy. Apply this
definition in other scriptures where
the word fulfill" is used and it will
not answer in every case. The Savior
taught that as long As heaven and
earth remained the law would be in full
force Matt. Sis Again does the sab
bath belong to the Jews? The ext
says il WAS made for man. For the
first man As well rs for the last man
aud Christ Was the lord of it Our
brother says that the Sabbath was.used
in y general sense. But the 23rd and
- verses of Mark End chapter forbids
this As these verses have distinct refer
ences to the weekly Sabbath. The
New Testament further asserts that the
Sabbath was past when the first day
came Mark l6.l-2. The holy women
that followed their Savior, refused to
ven perform the labor Of annoinlng
him at his tomb, but kept the Sabbath
according to the commandment. Luke
o3:54-56; CAL. This is certainly strange
that they rested because the command
ment said SO when according to our
brother ii was done away at this time.
SECOND REJoINDER
For Christ, is the end Of the law for
righteousness TO every one that believ-
eth Rom. lO:i Now if Christ is the end
OF the Law, where will our S~abbatarian
friends get their Sabbath? II Christ
had not been without sin, the Law
would have remained; but as Christ |
had no sin the Law il abolis he'd. The
Sabbath age was made for man that
Is the age Of man, and there has been
nothing created since the first six DAYS. !
The creation was finished with the
creation o: man and there has been
n unproken Sabbath from that time !
until the present Be it then claimed
that ii Is mete that We have one sew.
enth part Of time, and that Was given
TO the Jews xsa weekly Sabbath. II
did not mean that the six periods are !
equal 10 one, but that there Vas six in |
definite periods of time 1T creation.
Next he SAID that Christ intensified the |
irst and second commandments in his |
reply to the adversary in the tempta-
ton Matt &l0 and such portions of the
commandments a weSen not thus inten- !
siied are not binding on christians
Rom. 5:lS Vas cferred in support Of
there being sin where there iA no Law.
Moses wrote the Law in the book that
vas kept by the side Of the ark. And
In this book were written the ten CON-.
mAndments. And that Law Ma abol-
ished. Now - the decslogue isa part
Of that Law. il wac also abolished as the
cross. Yet the last six command
men1 are moral preceps. which relate
70 our duty 70 our fellow men, and can !
not Be abolished Further the ten
commandments are called the coven-
ant, - when the first covenant Mas
done away they were too. In Matt lss
IL the Savior quoted al The command
mens necessary fog him 10 keep. Yet
he did not quote sabbath, thereto . xe
are not obliged 70 keep it. He then
showed that the Law was good and
could DO kept Because Jesus kept il
show that il could b kept III
Christ had broken il then he would
no, have any thing 70 oder fos u. for
