Did God and God's Chosen People strictly observe the Ten-Commandments in the Old-Testament?? I keep getting the feeling that a significant aspect of the Galactic Powers That Be simply hate the Human-Race -- and will use any and all excuses to terminate Humanity. They don't seem to wish for Humanity to get it right -- and succeed as a civilization. It seems to be personal -- and without any love whatsoever. Sometimes I think that the SDA Church -- the Roman Catholic Church -- the Peale and Schuller Phenomenon -- should be studied in a calm and scholarly manner -- side by side -- without necessarily participating in any or all of the above. Obviously, there are probably very few people who are willing and/or capable of properly doing this -- but I think it should be done. All three concepts need to be refined and/or combined IMHO -- but obviously, this would create weeping, wailing, and gnashing of teeth. Secularism seems to be winning (in many ways) -- but if even that is done properly, it can be a blessing (in its own way). "The secular must become sacred -- and the sacred must become secular." Can anyone even begin to imagine what would happen if even the non-ceremonial aspects of the Torah were enforced upon modernity??!! BTW -- is the Sabbath commandment ceremonial, moral, or both?? Take a very careful and prayerful look at the Sabbath -- Post-Torah. One does not find the Ellen White approach to the Sabbath in Sacred Scripture. I think the Sabbath can be beneficial or harmful -- depending on the situation -- and I cannot fathom the Eternal-Destruction of anyone -- because they worked on the wrong day. I sometimes think that many Adventists secretly resent the Sabbath -- and secretly pray for the sun to go down faster on Sabbath afternoons!!
