"Journey Films will be producing a 2-hour documentary film called
“Sabbath.” According to the filmmakers, this documentary “explores the
history of one of the world’s most important spiritual practices and its
timeless relevance for a stressed-out, modern world.” They also state
that the Sabbath is “God’s invitation” for “a more sustainable way of
life.”
The documentary features
Roman Catholic, Protestant, Seventh-day Adventist, Muslim, and Jewish
religious leaders and experts as they all promote the importance of the
Sabbath and the need for rest.
The major problem with this project is that they are pushing for “a”
Sabbath rest, regardless of whether it’s Saturday, Sunday, or any other
day. The video misquotes Exodus 20:10, the 4th Commandment, by referring
to the seventh day as “a” Sabbath day and not “the” Sabbath day. In
essence, this asserts that Saturday is merely one day of rest among
many. This opens the door for Sunday to also be the Sabbath day. Once
again, they are attempting to change times and laws (Daniel 7:25).
This conflicts with the heart of Seventh-day Adventism, which emphasizes
the seventh day as the Sabbath of the Lord. However, promoting a
generic day of rest, or Sunday, is in keeping with the modern ecumenical
movement. At the center of the ecumenical movement is the policy of
downplaying what we cannot agree on. At the very heart of the Advent
Movement is the conviction that we should emphasize our distinctive
doctrines and the Three Angels’ Messages, especially the seventh-day
Sabbath." AdventMessenger
