Thredrice,

Well, the discussion for some is whether the day has changed from Saturday to Sunday, e.g., Seventh-day Adventists, Jehovah Witnesses, and some Christians, etc. For others, especially currently, there is much objection to the Fourth Commandment even being binding at all on Christians, including the other nine Commandments given to Moses, e.g., NCT, et al. And for others there is the issue of application, e.g., what is legitimate activity on the Sabbath. So, there is a wide variety of disagreement over various issues. Historically, there were basically two groups/issues that were in dispute. Most all the Reformers, Puritans, etc., held that the Fourth Commandment was part of the Moral Law, perpetual and binding upon Christians, no less than the commandment to not kill or to not take the name of the Lord in vain. Then there were some, e.g., John Bunyan, who believed that the Sabbath was not binding upon Christians, YET, still maintained that Sunday should be observed for various other reasons. Those were the "good old days". But now, it seems that anything to do with "law" is found to be objectionable. It is a confusing labyrinth to many. And this is why we are living in perilous times. So, my best advice is: "Be careful out there! " [img]http://www.the-highway.com/w3timages/icons/wink.gif" alt="wink" title="wink[/img]

I do think that if you took the time to read Warfield's article, The Foundations of the Sabbath in the Word of God, it would be of much help in understanding the issues.

In His Grace,
