Hello Bill,
I can tell you this Bill, the Sabbath is not a day that Christians are bound to keep. The way SDA leaders mislead their followers is by making the claim that there are two laws: The Law of God and the Law of Moses.
The simple truth is that there is only one law, God's law. If you can see this truth in scripture, then you will know that Christ fulfilled the law by living a sinless life and then willingly became sin for us that we may be sinless in Him. If you try to put the law back into this picture then you must do as Christ did, for if you fail in one point of the law, it condemns you. Here are a few verses that may help:
 

Justified by faith in Christ: Christ must keep all the law
 

Matt 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
Gal 3:24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
Rom 10:4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
Rom 3:27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
Rom 3:28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
 

Justified by the law: One must keep all of it
 

Jas 2:10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
Gal 5:3 For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law. 4 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.
 

Now Bill, here is a much longer bit of info that proves there is only one law, God's law: The Ten Commandments and all the other commandments God gave to Moses.
Hope that this is helpful to you. If your are really looking for truth it's here in God's Word.

Second Letter To Bill:
Hello Bill,
Here is some more info on the subject of One Law. If you will send me your mailing address, I'll be glad to mail it to you in its entirety. Hope it helps.
Sincerely,

Proposition 1. "The law" embraces the whole Mosaic law, moral, civil, and ceremonial.
 

The term, "the law," when used with the definite article and without qua1ifying words, refers "in nine cases out of ten, to the Mosaic law, or to the Pentateuch."— Smith ‘s Bible Dictionaiy, Art. Law. Invariably the Adventists use the term "the law" for the Ten Commandments only. They hang up a chart of the Decalog and constantly point to it as "the law" (Matt. 5:17); "the law of the Lord" (Ps. 19:7); "the law of God" (Rom. 7:22). This is their fundamental error on the law. I affirm that "the law" included the whole system of law given to the Israelites at Sinai, embracing all those requirements, whether moral, civil, or ceremonial, Decalog and all. Look at the term "law," in a concordance, or in any Bible lexicon, dictionary, or encyclopedia. "The law" commonly included the whole of the five books of Moses. Even Butler (Adventist) is compelled to make this confession: "The term, ‘the law,’ among the Jews generally included the five books of Moses, thus including the whole system, moral, ritual, typical, and civil."—Law in Galatians, page 70. That is the truth exactly.
Now, bear in mind this one simple fact wherever you find the term "the law," and you will have no trouble with Sabbatarian arguments on "the law."
Take a few examples of the use of the term "the law" (1 Cor. 14:34). Women "are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law." Where does the law say this? Gen. 3:16. So Genesis is in the law. Again: "The law had said, Thou shalt not covet" (Rom. 7:7). Where? Exod 20:17. So Exodus is in the law. Once more: "Master, which is the greatest commandment in the law?" (Matt. 22:3 6). Jesus then makes two quotations from the law: First, "Thou shalt love the Lord with all thy heart." This is taken from Deut. 6:5. So Deuteronomy is in the law. Second, "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." This is from Lev. 19:18. So Leviticus is a part of the law. And this: "Have ye not read in the law, how that on the Sabbath Days the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath and are blameless?" (Matt. 12:5). It is from Num. 28:9. These, then, embrace all the five books of Moses as "the law. "Observe a little where the law is spoken of and you will soon see that it refers indiscriminately to each and all the books of Moses as "the law." Of course, any verse in any of these books is quoted as "the law," because it is a part of the law. So the Ten Commandments are quoted as the law because they are a part of the law.
Again, "the law" embraces all parts of the law, moral, civil, or ceremonial. Thus the ceremonial precepts: "The parents brought in the child Jesus to do with him after the custom of the law" (Luke 2:27). That is, to offer a sacrifice (vs. 24). Moral precepts: "The law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers" (1 Tim. 1:9). This is the Decalog. Civil precepts: "Commandest me to be smitten contrary to the law?" (Acts 23:3). Notice that every time it is simply "the law." "Gamaliel, a doctor of the law" (Acts 5:34). Of what law? Every intelligent man knows that the law of which he was doctor or teacher, was the whole Pentateuch, Decalog included. The law, then, is the whole Jewish law, in all its parts. This one point, clearly settled, destroys nine-tenths of all the Seventh-Day Adventist argument for the Jewish Sabbath.
 

Proposition 2. There was no such thing as two separate laws given to the Jews.
 

To sustain their doctrine, Sabbatarians have invented a theory of two laws given at Sinai; one the moral law, the other the ceremonial.
Adventists attach the utmost importance to their theory of two laws, as well they may; for if this is wrong their cause is lost. U. Smith says: "No question, therefore, more vital to the interest of Sabbath keepers can be proposed."—Synopsis of Present Truth, page 258. But that they are wrong on this vital question is very easily shown.
"Moral law," "ceremonial law." Adventists use these two terms as freely as though the Bible were full of them; yet, strange to say, the Scriptures make no such distinctions, and never once do we read of "moral" law and "ceremonial" law in the Bible. The place to find these terms is in Adventist literature. In the Bible the Old Testament is simply called "the law." Had the primitive Christians stood on the Adventist platform, when Paul and Christ were preaching concerning "the law," they would have been frequently interrupted with "What law?" "What law?" "The ceremonial or the moral?" But such questions were never asked, for all knew of but one law—the Pentateuch. Adventists severely criticize those who happen to use an unscriptural word or phrase; yet they themselves do that thing commonly, as in this case. It would be amusing to hear one of them try to preach on the "two laws" and confine himself to Bible language. He could not possibly do it. If there were two distinct laws given to Israel, so different in their nature, it is...

Bill's First E-mail To Facing The Facts:
SDA
After reading your text I am very interested in what you have to say. I have attached from the SDA website their formal statement of beliefs. I have reviewed these and do not object to any of them. I am currently a Southern Baptism but have come to believe what the SDA believe. Your section on the 7th day as the Sabbath (60 verses) seemed to prove to me that the Sabbath was the day of worship. What better worship could there be than to be with Jesus and hear him teaching. He was the authority. Jesus keeps the Sabbath even in the grave and rose the first day of the week. God the Creator created the Seventh day at the Beginning. Although the 10 commandments were not actually written by God’s finger until Moses they were in existence when Satan was found with iniquity.
I don’t understand your reasoning about the O.T. commandments only applying to the Jews, especially the Sabbath. Don’t we all become Jews when we believe in Jesus and become an Heir to Abraham? We are all grafted in to the vine once we turn to Jesus. Remember circumcision does not make us a Jew but what we believe.
In all churches there have been people over zealous in their views. I would assume that Mrs. White is no exception. Even Moses (water from the rock) made some mistakes. I am a military brat and have been a Catholic, Methodist, Episcapal, Evangelical, Baptist, Nazarene, and even visited Mormon (which I agree with you). And I guarantee there will be people from these denominations in Heaven (Mormon might be a stretch but I don’t think God would suffer the little children of Mormon faith). Everyday I study and discover truths I did not know before - but that does not mean I was not saved before I knew them.
I believe Jesus died for my sins and through him I can be forgiven and accepted into Heaven and spend eternity with God the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit. I also believe that once saved not always saved or the idea of free will and freedom to choose would not exist in its fullest. However, once saved - conviction and change is inevitable so that we want to serve Him. Remember what Jesus said, If you love me you will keep my commandants – all of them. I believe this to mean the 10 commandants, not the ceremonial laws but the ten commandments of the Old and New Testament.
What I am saying is please review your writings concerning SDA and tell me if anything has changed.
Sincerely,
Bill
p.s. where else can I go to Worship on Saturday? There are Seventh Day Baptist but none in my area. Why are you so against Saturday as the Seventh Day and God’s command to worship on the Seventh Day? From what I read you do not put stock in any day. You therefore cannot begrudge any Christian from worshiping on Saturday.
You are more knowledgeable than me on passages of the Bible, please stand back and ask yourself ” what if it means exactly what it says?”
