This book was received free by our church (Baptist) about 8 years ago. It is authored by a Seventh Day Adventist Television preacher, Danny Shelton.

Shelton is unaware of how to interpret the O.T. as it relates to the N.T. church; he believes that the command to observe the Seventh Day Sabbath is still in force for N.T. believers. The exegesis is incompetent (or even non-existent); the basic Hebrew difference between the word "seventh" and "rest" is not recognized. Simple logic was excluded by assuming that Sabbath means "seventh" when there were multiple days, other than the seventh, of various months that were proclaimed as a "Sabbath" in the law.

This book is an attempt to proselytize unlearned believers to a Seventh Day Adventist position.… (mehr)

WE’VE SEEN THE PHOTOS—and maybe, if we’ve traveled to Greece, we’ve even seen them in person: the Parthenon…the Acropolis…magnificent buildings with tall, fluted columns on all sides. These columns—or pillars—were also used routinely in the structures of ancient Rome.Supported by a solid granite or limestone foundation, the pillars on the perimeter of these massive buildings soared skyward, standing like watchmen guarding the entrances.On the firm foundation of Jesus Himself, mighty pillars of truth also stand as support columns for His last-day church—pillars such as the Sabbath, the state of man in death, the second coming, the sanctuary truth, and others.In Pillars of the Christian Faith, 3ABN Founder Danny Shelton and President/CEO Jim Gilley explore and describe these pillars one by one, showing how each is vital and indispensable to the mission and message of God’s remnant people—how each of them make a difference in our own lives.You’ll be greatly blessed as you consider once again these stately pillars of truth and apply them to your own daily living.… (mehr)

According to Seventh Day Adventists, most Protestants are inadvertently in violation of the fourth (of the oft quoted ten) commandment by observing the Sabbath on Sunday instead of Saturday. As they say, ignorance of the law is not innocence and there are dire consequences for this oversight. In James 2:10 we are warned that if we break one commandment, we are guilty of breaking them all. That doesn't apply to all 613 Jewish commandments however. Conveniently, 603 were nailed to the cross (Colossions 2:14), leaving only these 10. This book focuses on the first of three enumerations of those ten commandments, this one found in Exodus 20:2-17.

This book, like many others, fails to mention another itemization of the Ten Commandments found in Exodus 34. That one is actually called the Ten Commandments in the text, but is often ignored because of its inclusion of the prohibition against "seething a kid in its mother's milk". Sometimes irreverently referred to as the cheeseburger commandment, this is still very seriously observed by the Jews who even have separate facilities for preparing dairy and meat. It also explains why cheeseburgers and meat lasagna are not considered kosher. Please don't think I'm suggesting that eating a cheeseburger is the equivalent of murder.… (mehr)
