8. Show me where Leo Schreven indicates: Sunday-keeping is a step towards the mark of the beast
9. Show me where Leo Schreven says: Sunday-keepers will be condemned

("Now That's Clear!" 1994 AD By Leo Schreven. Leo was once a paid minister of the Seventh-day Adventist church and various evangelistic organizations. Today, he continues to conduct numerous "All Power seminar" presentations. Level Two is the "It Is Written" Bible Prophecy Seminar, where he continues to promote the Seventh-day Adventist church and Ellen G. White, inspired prophet for the Seventh-day Adventist church.)

In this article, reproduced in it entirety, you will notice that "Sunday-keeping" (not keeping the Sabbath/Saturday) is the mark of the beast. You will also notice that Sunday-keepers will be condemned.

... "Now, what is the Mark of the beast? It's a simple step by step counterfeit of receiving the Seal of God. Let's turn back to the prophecy in Daniel 7:25, "And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time." He would change times and laws. The first step the Beast must counterfeit is God's law. Why? Because the "law" is sealed in the saints who follow God. Notice though it also changes "times." Only the fourth commandment deals with times."

The second step to counterfeit the seal is Daniel 8:12, "And an host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it CAST DOWN THE TRUTH TO THE GROUND; and it practiced, and prospered." He would "cast down the truth." Why? Because it's again the truth that is sealed in the saints forehead. And so we see a perfect fulfillment. We have seen the Papal Roman power change the law, both the second, tenth and the fourth commandment dealing with times, and counterfeiting many of God's truths.

... "The true God was worshiped on Saturday, the seventh day. So Papal Rome had to change the law, and the day of worship to Sunday, so they could be worshipped."

... "Faith of Our Fathers, p. 14, C.F. Thomas, Chancellor of Cardinal Gibbons: "Of course the Catholic church claims that the change was her act. And the act is the MARK of her ecclesiastical power and authority in religious matters."

"Thus the way was opened to lead people to worship the Beast, and receive his mark. Also the way was opened to "worship the image of the beast." An image is a replica of an original. There are millions of people who are not "worshiping the beast," but they do worship its image. Many churches today are nothing more than an image of the Papal Church. They may have a different name, but they are following the same false teachings, traditions, and commandments of men. False teachings like baptism by sprinkling, the immortal soul, Sunday worship, eternal hell-fire, et cetera, are all from the Beast. If we choose to worship in a church that follows these teachings, we are simply following an image of the Beast. That's why God's call is to come out of Babylon to follow Jesus and truth."

"Let's see step by step how a person receives the Mark of the beast in their forehead. As we continue on in 2 Thessalonians 2, we come to verse 10. "And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved."

"Here is the first step to receiving the Mark of the beast: Refusing to love the "truth" (the truth is what is sealed in the saints). So the first step is simple, you don't have to do anything wrong, you just refuse to do what's right."

"The second step in receiving the Mark of the beast is in verse 11, "And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie." What is that lie? First John 2:3-4, "And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him." Believe the lie that you can still go to heaven while breaking the law. Rather than loving Jesus and keeping His commandments, people choose to follow the Beast's lie."

"The third step is found in verse 12, "That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness." They are damned for not believing the truth. Rather than being comforted by the Spirit who leads to Jesus Christ, they stand condemned for following the Antichrist. Because of their willful decision to follow the Beast, its false teachings and practices, the Beast's name is in their forehead and they are lost having received the Mark of the beast. The process is a step by step counterfeit of the Holy Spirit's work to give us the Seal of God."
