And God blessed the seventh day, and hallowed it, because that in it He rested from all His work which God in creating had made.
What did God do on the eighth day, Fred?

He sang. I refer you to the Beatles, "Eight Days a Week."

So, folks, if you thought that SDA was a joke, you were not far off.

At least they are closer to the Truth than most protestant groups.

A joke? You do realize that their hospital in Loma Linda has been the pioneer of some of the greatest advancements in modern medicine right?

You really don't want to go there...this is coming from a reformed SDA or backslider as the SDA faith labels us.

You may be right. It's just interesting how 'truth' gets capitalised, and 'Protestant' does not. It's intriguing how sabbatarianism, an invention of Rome, seems to carry greater veracity than Protestantism, that relies on a book that says there is no seventh-day sabbath. And all this from Rational Thought- if not rational thought.

Your facts are obviously wrong....Rome did not invent the Sabbath, in fact they are the ones who introduced Sunday worship so I don't know where on Earth you get that. And that "book" that you refer to, is the Holy Bible, and if you claim that it does not mention the Sabbath you are either a liar or have never read it since it clear discusses the Sabbath in over 100 verses.

People are free to disagree, that is one thing, but to flat out lie about something just because you disagree is rather childish.
