Thus saith Ellen, part 4 – The 10 commandments

February 15, 2018
By Stephen Korsman
10 Commandments

These descriptions, given to Ellen White in a vision, prove that the vision was NOT given by God. If it was not given by God, who was it that gave Ellen this vision? And what was their agenda when highlighting the sabbath?

The Law of God vs the Law of Moses

Did Catholics change the Bible?

Galatians 4: Adventists are Hagar, Christians are Sarah

August 27, 2016
By Stephen Korsman
Abraham, Sarah, and Hagar

The other side, those who are Hagar's children - Muslims and Adventists - are in bondage, following the covenant at Sinai. That's a huge revelation regarding Adventism. They lack, due to their allegiance, a full part in the New Covenant.

Adventist misrepresentation of The Constitutions of the Holy Apostles

August 5, 2016
By Stephen Korsman
The Synaxis of the holy and the most praiseworthy Twelve Apostles

The section Adventists quote is about the 10 commandments, and amongst the 10 commandments is the commandment about keeping the sabbath. The document is not instructing Christians to keep the sabbath. It's citing the 10 commandments. That's not honest quoting on the part of Adventists.

Mary, the Ark of the New Covenant

June 7, 2016
By Stephen Korsman
Woman of Revelation 12

In the Old Testament, the Ark of the Covenant contained the glory of God.  In the New Testament, the Ark of the New Covenant contained God himself in the flesh. Important parallels regarding the content of the Ark: Manna – Eucharist (Jesus’ body and blood) Rod of Aaron – Rod of Jesse (Jesus) 10 Commandments – Gospel One of the most striking parallels in Scripture is 2 Samuel 6 and Luke 1, which have so many parallel phrases one has to be blind or stubborn…

Adventism cannot be the true remnant church

September 27, 2014
By Stephen Korsman
Picture of a random baby off WikiMedia Commons

Adventism claims to be the chosen remnant church, called out of the rest of Christianity. The identifying sign of the remnant, according to Adventism, is that they keep all 10 commandments. They don't. Officially, Adventism condones abortion. That means, officially, Adventism cannot be the true remnant they claim to be.

The Sabbath first revealed to man

August 28, 2014
By Stephen Korsman

Exodus 16 is the very first time in the Bible when anyone is told to keep the Sabbath. What has just happened is that Israel has come out of Egypt. If we compare Exodus 20 to Deut 5, we get two things that the Sabbath represents. 1 - creation (in the Exodus text). 2 - coming out of Egypt (in the Deuteronomy text). God's intention must have been to have a dual symbolism there.

The 10 Commandments and the New Law in Catholic teaching

November 2, 2013
By Stephen Korsman
Pope Pius XII

Here we look at Catholic explanations, showing that this concept of the 10 Commandments being part of the Old Covenant legal code, and therefore not the legal code in effect today, is indeed believed by Catholics and supported by Catholic teaching.

The Sabbath and the Old Covenant, part 3

November 1, 2013
By Stephen Korsman
The Resurrection of Christ

In the first part of this series, we saw that the Sabbath commandment is one of the 10 Commandments, that the 10 Commandments are the words of the Old Covenant, and that the Sabbath was the sign of the Old Covenant. In Part 2 we looked at the New Covenant's legal code, and saw that the 10 Commandments are no longer binding as a legal code under the New Covenant. Now we'll look at how the 10 Commandments still apply to Christians.

The Sabbath and the Old Covenant, part 1

October 30, 2013
By Stephen Korsman
10 Commandments, 10th century Byzantine Paris Psalter

If you ask the average Christian, "Should we obey the 10 Commandments?" they will likely say "Yes." Enter the Adventist, who then asks why the average Christian doesn't keep the 4th commandment, which states that we should keep the Sabbath. ... The Decalogue was the actual set of words making up the Old Covenant. The Old Covenant was replaced with the New. Even Paul acknowledges that the law written on stone has been replaced.

St John Chrysostom on the Sabbath

October 27, 2013
By Stephen Korsman
St John Chrysostom, soapstone carving

St John Chrysostom makes a very interest point: 9 of the 10 Commandments were part of natural law, known to man before the 10 Commandments, and therefore not in need of any explanation. The Sabbath commandment was not like this - it needed to be revealed, and that is why it did not remain binding when the Mosaic Law came to an end - it was not part of natural law.

What Catholics Believe – Sunday observance

August 9, 2013
By Stephen Korsman
The Resurrection of Christ

Catholics (and most other Christians) believe Sunday is a special day to be celebrated, because it is the day Jesus rose from the dead. The Jews kept the Sabbath on Saturday, and this is reflected in the 10 Commandments. However, only the moral code of the Old Testament is applicable to Christians - we don't need to sacrifice animals, keep Passover, Yom Kippur, or the Sabbath, and we are free from the dietary restrictions as well.

The Sabbath in the Gospels

January 14, 2007

Adventists changing the Bible?

July 23, 2006

10 Commandments

He chopped out the word "commandments" in Exodus 16:28, and replaced it with "Sabbaths" - he may well be quoting from the Clear Word Bible, but I am not sure of that. The Clear Word Bible is an Adventist composition that makes tremendous changes to the actual text in order to support Adventist teachings.

The 4th Commandment and Bacchiocchi

Displaying the 10 Commandments

December 30, 2005
By Stephen Korsman
10 Commandments

The Adventist Review online newsletter (AR In Touch) reports on a decision by an American court that the display of the Ten Commandments is constitutional. It's not something I've followed much - it's really just a bunch of silly people trying to inflict a revisionist "history" on the reasonable American.

Counting the 10 Commandments

October 29, 2005
By Stephen Korsman
10 Commandments

Adventists often complain because Catholics count the ten commandments differently, and claim that we have changed things. Here is an Adventist commentary that explains that how they are counted is not important. So if we count it the (western) Catholic way, it's fine. If we count it the (eastern) Catholic way, like Adventists, it's also fine.

To whom was the Sabbath given, as a sign of what?

December 27, 2004
By Stephen Korsman

These verses point out that the Sabbath was a sign between GOD and ISRAEL, that it was given as a sign of the OLD COVENANT, and that this covenant was NOT made with their fathers. Scripture speaks of God giving ISRAEL the Sabbath, not MAN, and NOT anyone before the time of Moses. It was to the people at the time of Moses that God first made known his Sabbath. With these verses, and a total lack of any text in the Bible that indicates…

The Sabbath and the 8th day

December 31, 2003
By Stephen Korsman

The Sabbath command is the only one of the Ten Commandments which can be altered in any way, because only it is a part of the ceremonial law. This is taught by the Roman Catechism issued after the Council of Trent: "The other commandments of the Decalogue are precepts of the natural law, obligatory at all times [and for all people] and unalterable. Hence, after the abrogation of the Law of Moses, all the Commandments contained in the two tables are observed by Christians, not…

Just Who Did Change The Ten Commandments?

July 26, 1998
By Stephen Korsman

No, we did not change God's law, we just list the wording differently to what you do. And also, not all Catholics do that. Many Catholics use EXACTLY the same ten commandments as you Adventists and Protestants do! In fact, Martin Luther, and most Lutherans today, use the same numbering system as Catholics in the west!

Is the Sabbath moral or ceremonial law?

July 19, 1998
By Stephen Korsman
Moral law

Seventh-day Adventists teach that the moral law laid down by God through Moses is still intact today, and must be kept (though they, unlike their founder Ellen White, do admit that salvation does not come through the keeping of these commandments.) They also teach that the ceremonial laws laid down by God through Moses are no longer in effect today - we need no longer observe ritual purification like the ancient Israelites did, nor need we sacrifice lambs at Passover. However, they teach that the…

The use of statues, pictures, and other icons in worship

December 8, 1997
By Stephen Korsman
The use of statues, pictures, and other icons in worship

To me this is a fairly simple issue, and the problem lies in Protestant misinterpretation of the second commandment and of what the Bible says. It can be solved using the Bible alone, therefore I will deal with it first. The way I see it, the second commandment is conditional - we may make statues, pictures, etc., but we may not worship them. And since Catholics do not worship the images in their churches and homes, they are not breaking any of God’s commandments by…
