Amen. The mixing of the old and new covenants is actually unbelief or ignorance of the finished work of Christ and leading of Holy Spirit in the Kingdom of God. Hebrews 4:1-11 Galatians 3:1-3.
I appreciate this article. I had begun writing a rather lengthy essay on the matter myself, but I'm glad that I won't have to finish it, since another has done so, and I'm not so good at writing in English. On my website, I have a few shorter articles on this topic, but they are in French and not aimed at Church members. Bob Goodnough also has a number of posts on this topic on flatlanderfaith.com. Concerning the 1959 Conference, which word makes it Sabbatarian? "Hallow"? Surely not the "Lord's Day"? That expression only appears once in the Bible, in Rev 1:10, where the meaning is maybe ambiguous, but Church leaders from Ignatius on used that term to describe Sunday and not the Sabbath. Romance languages also usually use that term as the word for Sunday: Dies Dominic's = Dimanche, Domingo, Domenica, Duminica. Also, the word for Saturday in all those languages is related to Sabbath, which shows that even as those languages formed in the middle ages, there was a clear knowledge that Sunday was not the Sabbath.

May God bless you for sharing.

Thanks. My wording concerning the 1959 conference is possibly too strong.
I was not singling out "the Lord's Day" but rather the force of the "hallowing." Would not the historical position be to hallow every day?
Yes, I think that's right. Thanks for clarifying.
