Charles Buck Theological Dictionary: ANTI-SABBATARIANS


Subjects in this Topic:

A modern religious sect, who deny the necessity of observing the Sabbath Day. Their chief arguments are,

1.       That the Jewish Sabbath was only of ceremonial, not of moral obligation; and consequently, is abolished by the coming of Christ.

2.       That no other Sabbath was appointed to be observed by Christ or his apostles.

3.       That there is not a word of Sabbath-breaking in all the New Testament.

4.       That no command was given to Adam or Noah to keep any Sabbath.

5.       That, therefore, although Christians are commanded "not to forsake the assembling of themselves together, " they ought not to hold one day more holy than another.

See article SABBATH.
