The Complete Sabbath FOREWORD from the SEVENTH DAY BAPTIST HISTORICAL SOCIETY James Bailey has often been considered the father of the Seventh Day Baptist Historical Society for he was the first to systematically collect and organize the history of the General Conference at the urging of Conference. But his purpose went beyond the mere archiving of records; he recognized the value of fact over mere tradition in the advance of the gospel message. As stated in his obituary, “From his boyhood, Brother Bailey was possessed of the true missionary spirit; he always longed above all things , to see the borders of Zion enlarged, and the devoted all other things, to see the borders of Zion [i] enlarged, and he was glad to devote all his energy to the hard work necessary to such enlargement.” His principal field of endeavor was the frontier missions of the mid nineteenth century West. Although he spoke against the tendency of people to scatter themselves from other Sabbath keepers, he saw the need for equipping the people to give witness to the Sabbath wherever they might be. His book “Sabbath Commentary” was written as a tool proofing the validity of the Sabbath and counteracting the arguments of those who have neglected the Biblical Sabbath. Thus in reading it straight through from cover to cover one finds much repetition, for the same passage often refutes differing arguments. For example, the exact chronology of the events surrounding the crucifixion, burial, resurrection, and discovery of the empty tomb, are not identical, nor did the 19th century readers all agree on the beginning and end of the Sabbath, or the interpretation of “third day”. Bailey thus treats each account separately, but often with some of the same biblical reference. Because the book has been out of print for many years, and recognizing the continuing validity for the serious student, the Historical Society has scanned it for computer transmission. However, the scanner did not always recognize the difference between such letters as h and b, or f and t. Even a slight blemish in the century old paper was interpreted with gibberish of its own creation. Therefore it was necessary to proof read word by word and compare with the original text. Another difficulty was the inability of properly interpreting and printing the Greek or Hebrew that Bailey occasionally used. In such cases the historian substituted such phrases as “according to the Greek” instead of trying to give the exact Greek quote. In other cases, where the a simple Greek word is used which had recognized English equivalent, such as agape these English equivalents were used. (Greek scholars please be forgiving for any mistakes, for Bailey explains the references adequately for most readers.) [i] Annual report of the Missionary Society , SDB Yearbook 1893 p. 122 BAILEY’S EXPLANATION Page 1 of 1 BAILEY’S EXPLANATION The true import of the Sabbath is seen in its origin and relation to the worship of God in all dispensations. The Sabbath was instituted as the crowning act of God, at the close of his creative works. It followed immediately man’s creation and the ordering of his physical condition. Its nature shows its design – a spiritual rest, or communion with God. Jesus, its Lord, said it was for man. As such it was observed by the patriarchs. Within God’s law was formulated and lithographed at Sinai, the Sabbath as defined as covering the family with all its members, including servants and guests. When worship was organized it was made fundamental in the organization. The prophets taught its sacredness. Jesus its Lord made it fundamental in his kingdom. His apostles used it in their labors. To this time it is regarded as indispensable to the church and its work. The diversity of opinions and practices at the present demands a revision. Most that has been taught from the pulpit and press have been sectarian, argumentative, with a polemic spirit, largely ignoring its spiritual character. Very little has thus been secured to the church by the controversy. The design of this little book is to give a Scriptural exegesis of each passage used as a proof-text, on it own teachings, divested of all controversial definitions. It is hoped that the reader will be aided in his investigations in arriving at a clear and full knowledge of the philosophy of the Sabbath in its spiritual character, and as a means of soul-communing with God. This is the design and prayer of the writer, after years of close and prayerful study.

  • Rome's Arraignment of Sabbath-Breakers
    Rome’s Arraignment of Sabbath-Breakers By J. O’Keefe The editors are pleased to share with you a centennial reprint of a sermon by a J. O’Keefe. This sermon was first printed in the July 3, 1897, issue of the Catholic Mirror and then reprinted that same month by the Seventh-day Adventist Church in a tract entitled Bible Student Library, No. 150, July 1897. We believe our readers will find this sermon to be significant in the light of the ongoing controversy regarding the Bible Sabbath. All emphasis reflects that which appeared in the "Bible Student Library" tract. Any additions made by the editors of Our Firm Foundation are indicated with [square brackets], though some were in the original. The original footnotes on page one of the "Bible Student Library" tract are as follows: The gentleman referred to [J. O’Keefe] is a priest of prominence in the Roman Catholic diocese of Baltimore, Md., and the paper that thus publishes the sermon is the leading Catholic paper of America, the organ of Cardinal Gibbons. The Scripture quotations are often [loosely quoted], sometimes from the Catholic Douay-Rheims version, and sometimes from the King James Version. The reader will find no essential difference. We leave them unchanged, merely correcting typographical errors, and punctuating in the ordinary way. --------------------------------- On last Sunday Rev. J. O’Keefe delivered a sermon at St. John’s Church, which will be of interest to our readers to reproduce in full. He spoke as follows: "But these men blaspheme whatever things they know not; and what things soever they naturally know, like dumb beasts, in these they are corrupted" See Jude 10.

Today the Eldridge Street Synagogue is Tthe only building on the Lower East Side—once the largest Jewish city in the world—earmarked for broad and public exploration of the American Jewish experience. The Museum at Eldridge Street researches the history of the building, uncovering new ways and stories to bring the building and its history to life.

Bible Answers FOREWORD FORTY years have not dimmed my memories of the man who became the role model for my own evangelistic ministry. For one thing my mother-in-law would not let me forget Allen Walker. She spoke often of that bold, self- educated, southern evangelist who had introduced her to Christ and His message in a tent revival soon after she was married. Later as an aspiring young evangelist in Florida, I heard other ministers speak almost reverently about the spiritual exploits of Allen Walker. His fantastic knowledge of the Scriptures, a fearless nature, and unassailable logic made him almost a legend through the southland where he conducted protracted evangelistic “efforts.” By my second public crusade in 1950 he was retired, yet he still had a daily radio program operating in Dothan, Alabama, just a few miles from Tallahassee, Florida, where I was pastoring. I made it a point to visit with him at every possible opportunity, plying him with questions about soul-winning.

  • On Keeping the Lord's Day Holy
    The Holy See APOSTOLIC LETTER DIES DOMINI OF THE HOLY FATHER JOHN PAUL II TO THE BISHOPS, CLERGY AND FAITHFUL OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH ON KEEPING THE LORD'S DAY HOLY My esteemed Brothers in the Episcopate and the Priesthood, Dear Brothers and Sisters! 1. The Lord's Day — as Sunday was called from Apostolic times(1) — has always been accorded special attention in the history of the Church because of its close connection with the very core of the Christian mystery. In fact, in the weekly reckoning of time Sunday recalls the day of Christ's Resurrection. It is Easter which returns week by week, celebrating Christ's victory over sin and death, the fulfilment in him of the first creation and the dawn of "the new creation" (cf. 2 Cor 5:17). It is the day which recalls in grateful adoration the world's first day and looks forward in active hope to "the last day", when Christ will come in glory (cf. Acts 1:11; 1 Th 4:13-17) and all things will be made new (cf. Rev 21:5). Rightly, then, the Psalmist's cry is applied to Sunday: "This is the day which the Lord has made: let us rejoice and be glad in it" (Ps 118:24). This invitation to joy, which the Easter liturgy makes its own, reflects the astonishment which came over the women who, having seen the crucifixion of Christ, found the tomb empty when they went there "very early on the first day after the Sabbath" (Mk 16:2).

  • End of Life Issues (Unless Otherwise Indicated, All Translations Are Mine; Each Source Is Translated from the Original Hebrew)
    ‏ Source Sheet - End of Life Issues (unless otherwise indicated, all translations are mine; each source is translated from the original Hebrew) Rabbi Yona Reiss 1. Babylonian Talmud, Yoma 83a משנה-וכלספקנפשותדוחהאתהשבת.מצאוהוחי-מפקחין,ואםמת-יניחוהו.. גמרא-מצאוהוחימפקחין.מצאוהוחיפשיטא!-לאצריכא,דאפילולחיישעה. Mishna: One is allowed to violate the Sabbath to save a life, even when it is only a doubt that somebody’s life can be saved. If the person is found alive, one can excavate them from the rubble. If the person is dead, they should be left in the rubble until after the Sabbath. Gemora: “If the person is found alive, one can excavate them out of the rubble” – isn’t this obvious? No, the reason it is necessary to state this case is to teach that even if the person will only continue to live for a short time [it is permissible to violate the Sabbath on their behalf]. 2. Babylonian Talmud, Shabbat 153a משנה.איןמעצמיןאתהמתבשבת,ולאבחולעםיציאתנפש.והמעציםעםיציאתהנפש-הריזהשופך .דמים גמרא.תנורבנן:המעצמועםיציאתהנפש-הריזהשופךדמים.משללנרשכבהוהולכת,אדםמניח .אצבעועליה-מידכבתה Mishna: One may not close the eyes of a dead person on the Sabbath, nor during the week when the person is expiring. And one who closes the eyes of a person who is expiring is guilty of murder. Gemora: “One who closes the eyes of a person who is expiring is guilty of murder” – this can be likened to a candle which is flickering and dying. When a person places his finger on top of this candle, it immediately is extinguished. 3.

    ABSTRACT “Sabbath Desecrator With Παρρησία” A Talmudic Legal Term and its Historic Context Moti (Mordechai) Arad which is ,” מחלל שבת בפרהסיא “ ,This book concerns the meaning of a Talmudic term conventionally translated as “Sabbath Desecrator in Public”. In the Abstract to my doctoral dissertation (DD) I translated it slightly different – “Sabbath Desecrator With Παρρησία” (SDP) – “suggesting that παρρησία does not merely refer to the setting in which the offense was committed, namely that the offense was done in public (was seen by ten Jews). Rather, the use of παρρησία implies also the intent with which the offense was committed. Thus, SDP is someone born Jewish who violates one of the laws of Sabbath for the sake of no practical reason, except for making a religious statement of breaking away from Jewish Law.” I still stand by that translation and by the implication of intent, but most everything else in that phrase, and in my DD in general, needs to be refined and redefined.
