    An Astonishing Change

    How utterly astonishing it is to find this same man only a few years later setting forth the very arguments which he himself had so completely overthrown.DOF 55.1

    The one thing Mr. Canright, in his later theory regarding the “essence” of the law, failed to inform us about, was when this new rest day (Sunday) came in after the law was abolished and reshaped. This point was entirely overlooked. We would like to see the chapter and verse cited. Where, we ask, are we informed in the Scripture that Christ took away one Sabbath and gave Christians another? Where does the Bible say that the old law had a Sabbath, but that in the essence of the law given to Christians this part had been changed or dropped out? Where is Sunday, the first day of the week, called a Sabbath, a rest day, a holy day, or anything but a working day? It cannot be found in Scripture. It is not there. Had it been, Mr. Canright would, no doubt, have similarly produced the text, thus settling the question and having himself the necessity of creating this new “essence” theory as a means of ejecting the Sabbath from the law.DOF 55.2

    The fact is that Christians have no new moral law. The moral law is as much in force today as when it was spoken by God Himself from Sinai; and the fourth commandment, unchanged by a jot or a tittle, still declares, “The seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God: m it thou shall not do any work.” (See Exodus 20:8-11, Luke 23:56.)DOF 55.3
