THE SABBATH IN GALATIANS issues between believers that must not be tolerated. 2 Paul warns that one of the last day deceptions will be the reintroduction of the food laws as a requirement for Christians. He declares that such teachings are the doctrines of demons. Those are hard words, but must be noted because of the seriousness of the warning. 3 The Epistle to the Galatians and the Epistle to the Colossians are in perfect agreement with the rest of the New Testament on this issue. There is much instruction in Galatians about moral living. While the Sabbath laws and food laws are not binding, it must not be seen as an indication that Paul is condoning immorality. He is actually calling the true Christian to a higher morality, the morality of the Spirit. He appeals to the Spirit and not to the Law. He points to Christ, not the Law, as a point of reference. The appeal is never to the Law in Galatians, or in any of Paul’s writings for that matter. He includes the Sabbath with those things that are no longer binding, and possibly dangerous, if made a requirement for salvation. Paul clearly teaches responsible morality and I will go into that later, but his appeal is to Christ living in you, not to Law. I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to 2 This is another example of Adventists ignoring the New Covenant Scriptures in favor of the Old. Interestingly, even in the Old Testament, the Gentiles were never asked to abide by these clean/unclean laws. Notice the command to Noah upon his exit from the ark in Genesis 9:3. It made all living creatures good for food. The specific laws to Israel were temporary and for the people of Israel only. 3 Many people in the SDA church are not aware that Ellen G. White for a time forbade marriage. While she did not tell people that they could not have a mate, she did forbid marriage relations for those that were missionaries because the resulting children would be a hindrance to the work. This was a cause of guilt and frustration among the missionaries. The details are found in Document DF 97c in the White Estate vault. 79
DISCOVERING THE NEW COVENANT one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the Law. Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. Gal 5:16-23. 80
