Q: Why is it said “here are they that keep the commandments
of God”?
to the ground, and trodden under foot for more than 1200
years. And although the other nine had been kept, yet it could
not be said that they were keeping the commandments, because it is written,
James 2 [Campbell]
10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, but shall fail with respect to one precept, has become guilty of all.
---Therefore the trodden down commandment must be restored and kept, before it can be said,
Revelation 14
12 Here are they that keep the commandments of God.
---Nine of them are universally admitted to be in full force,
and binding upon mankind. And there is no particular cross,
or test of faith in admitting or confessing them. The veriest
worldling will do this.
---But the cross and test is, in confessing and obeying the trodden down Holy Sabbath commandment."
James White
