This is Pastor Logan Robertson bringing you Mormon Moment number 8 and today
we're gonna have a look at the weird belief that you have to keep the Sabbath
day to get to heaven and to be a good Mormon. Well the Bible doesn't teach that
anymore. Obviously in the Old Testament, not all the Old Testament but part of
the Old Testament they were meant to keep the Sabbath day and keep it holy
and they weren't meant to do any work on that day and that was a day of rest
unto them. Now the thing in the New Testament, Jesus is that rest. He that
talks about in the book of Hebrews that Jesus is that rest. We no longer have to
keep the Sabbath days but it says in the Doctrine of Covenants chapter 68 in verse
29 and the habitats of Zion shall also observe the Sabbath day to keep it holy.
So they have to observe the Sabbath day. Now I'll read to you from Colossians
chapter number 2 and verse 16 it says let no man therefore judge you and meet
or in drink or in respect of unholy day or of the new moon or of the Sabbath
days. So it says let no man judge you in the Sabbath days. So if someone comes up
to me and says hey you need to be keeping the Sabbath day I say hey don't
judge me about that because the book of Colossians tells me that don't let
anyone judge you for that because it's been done away from Christ. It says in
verse 17 which are a shadow of things to come but the body is of Christ. And so
Joseph Smith was wrong he thought you had to keep the Sabbath day and there's
like a command in the New Testament that was you don't go to heaven if you don't
keep the Sabbath day. Well they just don't realize that Jesus is that rest
and we're meant to rest in Jesus. We're meant to rest from our works and rest in
his works that were done for us and his righteousness can be imputed unto us but
they don't understand that because they don't understand the gospel. But have a
nice day and number nine will be coming out in a couple of days. God bless.
