nother head flaw, that will drive you down on that
lee shore again, where you may see the awful havoc you have made of those
who are following in your wake. See them dashing there upon the rocks and
into those overwhelming breakers! Your whirlwind of doctrine has utterly
dismantled them, and their cry for help is unavailing! and unless you put
forth some more strenuous efforts to avoid these dangerous seas, you will
never get off from this lee shore, while under these deceitful and
flattering winds of doctrine.
Again he says--"We take the liberty to add, that Br. T.'s article is
IRREFUTABLE, and that we are now observing the Sabbath of the Lord our
God, and not the Jewish, nor a Pagan Sabbath." Where is he now? Does he
mean that J. T.'s Sabbath is "the Sabbath of the Lord our God?" He has
always insisted, in his former articles, that "the Sabbath of the Lord our
God," _was_ the Jewish Sabbath. There is but one named in the bible. If
this what he calls "the plain word of the Lord," I doubt whether any one
will understand him.
He says further--"If Friday was the sixth day--every transaction on the day
of our Lord's crucifixion is involved in utter confusion--and the law of
types in a like failure, and makes it an impossibility for the Sabbath of
the Lord our God to be kept the next day, for this [_wise_] reason, that
it was a feast day"! and quotes John xix: 31, again and again, for
positive proof. I wonder if he can tell how, and when, and where the Jews
lost that day, since the crucifixion, and where is the history to show
that they did really pass over the seventh-day Sabbath and keep the first
day for the Sabbath? I have already answered this in J. Turner's article;
there you will see the reason why John called this "an high day." Now, as
he has spoken of the law of types, I ask where is the chapter and verse in
the bible in which the Jews were ever forbidden to hold a feast, when it
fell on the seventh-day Sabbath? for, as I before stated, this always did
occur every year. Besides this Jewish feast was an holy convocation; no
servile work was to be done on this day. This was always continued seven
days, and the last day was like the first. Lev. xxiii: 6-8. Now then, all
that they did on these feast Sabbaths, was to worship God by their
offerings. You see that on God's holy seventh-day Sabbath, [see J. T.'s
article,] they always offered four lambs; therefore, whenever the other
Sabbaths, or holy convocations fell on
