17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is,
there is liberty."

The ten commandments written on "tables of stone" (Exodus 31:18) were

"the ministration of death" and "condemnation" and were "done away"
and "abolished" under the "new testament" which is "the ministration of
righteousness" which is more "glorious" than the old testament.

The fact that the sabbath is called a "perpetual covenant" in Exodus 31:16
doesn't help the SDAs, because "perpetual" is not exactly the same as
"eternal." Something "perpetual" can end. It keeps going until something
stronger stops it. To illustrate, the law of inertia is often summarized as: "An

object in motion will stay in motion until acted upon by an outside force."
The "perpetual covenant" of the sabbath was forcefully ENDED, just as the
"perpetual statute" of Aaron's priesthood (Exodus 29:9) was ENDED, by
the priesthood of Christ.

Hebrews 7:11,18-19 "If therefore perfection were by the Levitical
priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need

was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec,
and not be called after the order of Aaron?...
For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for
the weakness and unprofitableness thereof. For the law made nothing
perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw
nigh unto God."

Colossians 2:16 "Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or

in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:"

Obviously Colossians 2:16 would be NONSENSE
if sabbath-observance had anything to do with a person's salvation. "You
must keep the sabbath to be saved, but 'Let no man...judge you...in respect
...of the sabbath days..."??!

Just two verses earlier, Colossians 2:14 says Jesus was "Blotting out the
handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to
us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;"
