View article in PDF FormatFollowing record attendances of 366 and 331 at two recent campaign lectures on the subject of the Sabbath, GGI Jamaica presented the final in the Campaign Series, entitled ‘Questions For Sabbath Keepers,’ on March 28. On this occasion, 325 persons, including 105 visitors were in rapt attention for two hours as Pastor Ian Boyne presented arguments from scripture, scholarship, and logic showing why the seventh day Sabbath and the Holy Days stand or fall together.
He forthrightly engaged the audience in an extensive interaction with all the major arguments used by proponents of the view that the holydays are not in the same category as the seventh day Sabbath, and are not a requirement, as the weekly Sabbath is. These included arguments such as:
- The holydays were given after Sinai, while Sabbath was given at Creation
- Feast days are not in the Decalogue, as Sabbath is
- The Sabbath’s special status is symbolized by its preferred position in the ark
- The weekly Sabbath is part of the moral law, while holydays are ceremonial
- Colossians 2.16 is speaking of annual Sabbaths, and not weekly Sabbaths
He then proceeded to answer these views, in addition to providing compelling scriptural arguments that show an inextricable link between the seventh day Sabbath and the annual Festivals of Leviticus 23.
He demonstrated that at least some of the annual Sabbath were commanded by God before the seventh day Sabbath, and that the holy days can be kept outside the context of ceremonial sacrifices. He used several New Testament holyday references to show that it was inconsistent to insist that Sunday observers stop breaking Sabbath, by using arguments that logically compels observance of the annual Sabbaths as well.
The follow-up Q & A session was energetically participated in, and elicited several searching questions, which were fielded by both Pastor Boyne and Elder George Ramocan. So riveting and comprehensive was the presentation that one Seventh Day Adventist conceded that he was convinced that the Holydays should be kept. Several requests for follow-up discussions and for recordings of the lecture were received. The campaigns will be suspended for the Passover holyday season. GS.
