Sabbatarians falsely say: "Adam, Noah and Abraham kept the Sabbath." Yet the Ten commandments and the Sabbath did not exist until Moses. Sabbatarians haven't comprehended the fact that the word "Sabbath" is never found in the book of Genesis. The first case of Sabbath keeping was in Exodus 16 at Mt. Sinai. Here Jehovah gave Moses the "Ten Commandments", for the first time in world history. If the Ten commandments did not exist before Moses, then neither did the 4th commandment unless we find some command or example before Moses. The truth is that Adam never kept the Sabbath, nor did Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph or anyone in while in Egyptian bondage!

The Ten Commandments are called, Statutes, Ordinances and Decrees. To the shock and horror of Seventh-day Adventists, they will learn they have been lied to by their leaders and that the 10 commandments are the ordinances that were abolished in Col 2:14 and Eph 2:15.

The 10 commandments and the Sabbath were given ONLY to Jews, but Sabbatarians falsely state that the ten commandments are for all mankind from Adam to the second coming.

Sabbath Keepers always misquote Matthew 5:17 as a proof text, that the Sabbath will endure as long as the earth stands. Simply stated, the passage says that Jesus came to fulfill the whole law (moral and ceremonial) and that none of the law would be abolished until it was fulfilled. Adventists take the incredible position that Jesus did not fulfill the law! Sabbatarians also press the expression, "not one jot or tittle shall pass from the law" as a proof text that the Sabbath is in force today! Problem is, this expression, as Jesus used it, included the whole Law of Moses including animal sacrifices. If "jot or tittle" is still in force today, the we must have both the Sabbath and animal sacrifices! Logic has never been a strong point with Seventh-day Adventists!

Jeremiah 3:14-17 proves the 10 commandments were to be abolished when Christ came.

Sabbatarians are taught that only "The Ceremonial Law" was abolished, not "The Ten Commandment law". The primary mistake they make is creating a false distinction between "The 10 Commandments" and "The Ceremonial Law". This distinction is foreign to the Bible!

Jesus said, "Keep the commandments"! When Sabbatarians see the word "commandments" they think the word refers solely to the 10 commandments. But the truth is "Jesus commandments" are not the 10 commandments!

Sabbatarians attempt to make a false distinction in Revelation 12:17 and 14:12 saying the verses prove we must keep the 10 commandments in addition to the Gospel of Christ.

 Seventh-day Adventists bind ceremonial law of Moses by refusing to eat "unclean foods" like pork and collecting money through Tithing.

Sabbatarians incorrectly teach that the Royal law of James 2:8-12 is the Ten Commandment law. A simple reading of the passage will show that the "Royal law" is not one of the ten commandments, but a commandment from what Adventists call the "ceremonial law" (in the book, not on stone). Further, James is comparing the abolished Old Testament law (Royal law) with the New Law: The law of liberty! He is saying, "under the Old Testament law, (now abolished) we understood that we must keep every point... so to with the new Testament law".

Sabbath Keepers have an over inflated opinion of the 10 commandments calling the decalogue "Perfect". (The 10 commandments are never called perfect in scripture) They fail to realize that the 10 commandments are by themselves an incomplete law and God never intended the Jews or anyone to use them alone and they do not represent all of God's law.

Seventh-day Adventists are quick to point out that Ten commandments are quoted in the New Testament. This is true. But never the Sabbath command! But if Sabbatarians are correct, that if something from the Old Testament is merely quoted in the New Testament means we must keep them today, then we must keep the Jewish feasts of Passover, Pentecost and animal sacrifices!

 Sabbatarians will argue that since the Ten Commandments were written in stone, that proves they will never be abolished!

Another common, but false argument that Sabbatarians will use to prove we must keep the Sabbath, is by saying "God never changes, therefore His 10 commandment law never changes". While it is true that God never changes, God's law has often changed. The statement is as illogical as it is unscriptural.
