SDA Issues - The Old Landmarks of the Church

Remove not the ancient landmark,
which thy fathers have set.

Five S's
1) Sabbath -
And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made;
and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
Genesis 2:2
 
Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is,
and rested the seventh day:
wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
Exodus 20:8,11
 
2) State of the Dead -
For the living know that they shall die:
but the dead know not any thing,
neither have they any more a reward;
for the memory of them is forgotten.
Ecclesiastes 9:5
 
For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout,
with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God:
and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

3) Sanctuary -
And he said unto me,
Unto two thousand and three hundred days;
then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.
Daniel 8:14
 
Seeing then that we have a great high priest,
that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God,
let us hold fast our profession.
Hebrews 4:14
4) Spirit of Prophecy -
And the dragon was wroth with the woman,
and went to make war with the remnant of her seed,
which keep the commandments of God,
and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
....for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
Revelation 12:17/19:10
 
 To the law and to the testimony:
if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.
Isaiah 8:20
 
5) Second Advent -
For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west;
so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Matthew 24:7
 
For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven;
and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly,
shall be stubble:
Malachi 4:1
**************************
Beloved,
when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation,
it was needful for me to write unto you,
and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith
which was once delivered unto the saints.
Jude 1:3
