Does Genesis 2 prove Seventh-day Sabbath Observance?
https://youtu.be/UA54KwrKmeQ?si=-pmTp_cx_Aukuk0q I have engaged with various SDA Pastors, Apologists and Baptized Members on the topic of the Sabbath. One of the most common issues when communicating with SDA’s is the presupposition that is read into Mark 2:27. That since “the Sabbath was made for Man, and not Man for the Sabbath”.
