The fact is that we had so-called Sunday laws back in the 1960’s and their sole purpose was the regulation of economic activity. Adventists were still quite able to follow their religious faith, as were the Jews for that matter. So called Sunday laws have never forced anyone to work on Saturday, they only guarantee that everyone, whether or not Christian, gets a day to rest on Sunday, with no requirement to worship on that day. And these laws have almost always been passed by Protestants, not Catholics. I can’t imagine the 8 million Jews in the United States (Saturday Sabbath) or the 4.5 million Muslims in the United States (Friday Sabbath) just accepting being required to worship on Sunday!

Now, the sixth commandment says “Six Days shalt thou labor” not “Six days mayst thou labor”, yet how many Adventists are there who work a six-day week? Anyone who doesn’t do so is already breaking the fourth commandment. Another way of interpreting the fourth commandment is that we should work six days and rest on the day following those six days of labor (not a specific day of the week). This makes better sense. The fact is that if the first day of creation began at sunset on the longitude of Jerusalem then on a literal interpretation anyone who doesn’t practice the ‘Jerusalem sabbath’ is breaking the fourth commandment. When for example the sun is setting in Jerusalem it is rising in French Polynesia, so when is the right time for French Polynesians to practice the Sabbath? And what of people living above the Arctic circle where each day and night lasts a year – do they have to rest one year in seven instead?

More to the point, anyone making claims about other peoples ‘secret intentions’ without any supporting evidence which they know on the basis of certain personal knowledge to be true (which includes anyone pushing conspiracy theories) is breaking the 8th commandment against bearing false witness, which according to Jesus himself comes from an evil heart (Matthew 15:18-19). And according to the 21st Chapter of Revelation they will not enter the New Jerusalem, but will end up in the lake of fire.

Would this not “satisfy” the ‘global warming’ theorists?

I believe that he means discussion regarding Sunday sacredness that will lead to the Sunday law being enforced.

It was established by our Creator God / Jesus Christ who made all things as a celebration of that first week.
Can anyone change their birthday? No because it’s the day you came into this world. It too is based upon a historical event..!
In God’s Holy Law, He call us to Remember the Sabbath day to keep it Holy..! Exodus 20:8-11
And the Sabbath is to be a sign of allegiance between us and our Creator God. Ezekiel 20:12

The same issue is also calling for the Laudato si which is also calling for the sunday observance by law. The Laudato si encyclical was published in the year 2015, and # 237 says; Sunday like the jewish sabbath must be observed with honour and dignity . Many SDA’S do not realise that since the year 2015, we have been living under the sunday law era and from that moment we have witnessed the rapid movements taking place especially the covid pandemic crisis, Ukraine war, Palestine war crisis and the deteroriation of the economy. All these crisis point for the last final crisis the enforcement of the mark of the beast. The Jesuits want the Laudato si to be implemented within the framework of 10 years from the start of covid pandemic if things go according to the plan of Pope Francis. Only God knows all the future plans so that his people may become ready for the crisis. May God help us to overcome sin and pleasures of this world.

There’s already God’s Hallowed Sabbath Day, no need for a cheap inferior substitute, that He never ever blessed.
