This video exposes several of the false doctrines of Seventh Day Adventism, including replacement theology, required Sabbath keeping for all dispensations, salvation by works, the seal of God & mark of the beast being the Sabbath & Sunday church (respectively), and soul sleep. The Bible believing Christian should not be intimidated by such heresies, but should be familiar with them so as to help Adventists see the truth. Such is the intent of this production.
Colossians 2:13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
The passage within itself tells you that the sabbath days were nailed to the cross, hence it is not to be a point of judgment.
A few things I forgot to say that are worth mentioning:
-The argument that Christians are worshiping the sun by going to church on Sunday is hypocritical since Saturday is named after Saturn. How about instead of that, let's go by Bible terms, shall we? The Bible calls them the first day of the week and the seventh day.
-Christians are no longer under the law according to Galatians 3:23-25, because we have been redeemed from the curse of the law (Galatians 3:13), which is the requirement to continue living by the law (Galatians 3:10). Adventists are cursed, not only because they don't continue in the law (don't kid me; 1 John 1:8), but because they preach another gospel (Galatians 1:8-9).
-Adventists, despite all their complaining about the Roman Catholic cult, line up with them almost exactly on the RCC's most damnable heresy: that salvation comes through keeping God's commandments by allowing Christ to strengthen you to keep them. They may believe in different commandments, but the basic premise is the same, and it is NOT Biblical Christianity.
@ChristianTruthHammer yes i definitely agree.... judgement is in addition to being saved... to emulate Christ is beautiful... Jesus taught also faith without works is dead... 10 commandments teaches what sin is ... and what true love is... If you love me keep my commandments... how do we know what we should repent of ? ....

Faith without works is dead is written in James. Did you check who James was written to? (HINT: James 1:1) Are you a Jew? Which tribe are you from? Don't you know Paul says that doesn't matter anyway because all are one in Christ Jesus, and he's our apostle today? Give me either:
a) One verse in the Pauline epistles that says to keep the sabbath
b) One verse in the Pauline epistles that says you must love God IN ORDER TO BE SAVED

@ChristianTruthHammer to me the whole bible is applicable teaching for me... especially if we are all one in Christ.... and you aren't really answering my questions....if you don't Love God or Jesus and keep the commandments .... good luck to ya.... have the faith of Christ and keep his commandments... we'll see you in the next life .... I hope so...

Better start building an ark then. And you'd better be sacrificing animals from a temple in Jerusalem to atone for your sins. That is, if you really think the whole Bible applies to you. If not, then on what basis do you reject those two teachings and cling to the sabbath?

Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Titus 3:5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
6 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
7 That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
