Todd and I taught the elementary grades in Sunday School in the Sunday church…he took several grade levels and I took several, in fact, it was when we were teaching there, at that church, that we were teaching through the Ten Commandments and got to the fourth one and were stymied. We came home and started researching history and discovered that it had been changed under Constantine in the 300’s, and that in the Catholic documents they show that they are PROUD of the fact that THEY changed it. They make no bones of taking OWNERSHIP of it in their own writings.
Then we searched the Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation finding every verse pertaining to the Sabbath…and the rest is what it is We had books and Bibles of all sorts open all over the living room floor…he’d find something and poke me to show it to me, and I’d find something and poke him to show him…we came into it with NO ONE teaching or persuading us. It was AFTERWARDS that we found numerous books written on the whole debate from others coming into it in a similar way, by themselves…becoming puzzled, first…and then doing the research, to their surprise. Truly, no MAN has lead this movement; it seems a work of the Spirit, to prepare us all for the end time events.
