CANRIGHT VS. THE SABBATH

“That circumcision, sacrifices, the Levitical priesthood, distinction of meats, clean and unclean, the feast days, new moons, sabbatical year, and the Jewish Sabbath, were all set aside by the gospel, is as plainly taught as any Bible truth. 1. Circumcision: ‘If ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.’ Galatians 5:2. 2. Sacrifices: ‘Sacrifice and offering... thou wouldest not.’ See all of Hebrews 10:1-10. 3. Priesthood: ‘The priesthood being changed.’ Hebrews 7:12. 4. Sabbatical years: ‘Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years. I am afraid of you.’ Galatians 4:10, 11. 5. Meats, feast days: ‘Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of a holy day [feast day. R. V.], or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days; which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.’ Colossians 2:16, 17. No one questions at all with regard to any of these terms except ‘the sabbath days.’ But this is just as plain as any of them, except to those who dare not admit its most manifest meaning, lest it overthrow their theory. That this does refer to the Jewish weekly Sabbath is manifest from many facts.” -Canright in Mich. Christian Advocate of Oct. 1,1887.RCASDA 45.2
