SDA Issues: Lunar "sabbath":--A Most DAMNABLE HERESY

But there were false prophets also among the people, 
even as there shall be false teachers among you, 
who privily shall bring in damnable heresies.... 
And many shall follow their pernicious ways
by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.....
2 Peter 2:1,2
 
 The Lunar "sabbath" nonsense has reared it's Luciferian inspired
head among some in the Church. One prominent
youtuber of the Church has now announced she has left the Church over it.
 
*To be BLUNT, there comes a dividing line where the gloves have to come off and a response in the strongest terms is required.
But the Lunar "sabbath" to quote Peter, is a most DAMNABLE HERESY .....
 
WHY it's a DAMNABLE HERESY?
1) It leads people to trample on the Holy Sabbath Day of God in return for keeping a false sabbath based on some ASTROLOGY based holy day.
2) Since the day bounces around the year based on calculations of
the New Moon, many who fall for it will have a hard time holding down a job when your sabbath moves around the calendar.
3) Even Sunday keepers acknowledge what day is the Biblical Sabbath, the 7th Day. They just arrogate to themselves the authority transfer the solemnity of it to the first day, and admit that's what they do.  
4) Makes a Mockery of Creation week in Genesis, as these proponents of Lunar Astrological Nonsense look like spiritual simpletons as they point to the evening and morning being the first day, etc. before the sun, moon and stars made on the 4th day. Some of them claim the sun and moon had to exist on day one. 
[Excuse me, but to just inject some common sense here, the light shining upon earth as it rotated, would have been the light of God Himself as He appeared in His glory to perform His work of Creation... And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. All things were made by Him; and without Him was not any thing made that was made. In Him was life; and the life was the light of men. Genesis.1:3/John 1:1,2,4
5) They take the "signs" referenced on the 4th day of creation (and let
them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
Genesis 1:14) to refer to using to identify the sabbath since the sabbath is called a "sign" of God's people.
[Once again, Excuse me, but it's clear in that context that "signs" is used to refer to marking off the secular times of the year---not the holy day of worship: SEE I-III below]
6) It undermines the Scriptural identification of the Mark of the Beast.

*God's Holy Sabbath Day is distinct from time keeping identified on the 4th day of creation because the Sabbath was a Memorial in and of itself to God as Creator. Hence He set up a specific day to flow throughout human history as a reminder. Hence the word "Remember":  
Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 
Exodus 20:8
 
Crystal Clear:
I. The weekly Sabbath, the Holy Day of the Week, was established at Creation:  
Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. 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. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it He had rested from all His work which God created and made.
Genesis 2:1-3
II. It's detailed in His Law as a weekly Memorial to Him as Creator: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God:....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 20:10,11
III. At the Cross the Sabbath was identified as the 7th day of the week---He was crucified and buried before the Sabbath Day began, thereby rested in the tomb on the 7th Day Sabbath, and rose of the First Day to continue His work:  
This man went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulchre that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid.And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on. And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day
according to the commandment
In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre. And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.......And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead;
Luke 23:52-52,56/Mathew 28L1,2,7
 
Even the most simple minded person could understand the teachings
of the Sabbath from Scripture. 
So WHY this DAMNABLE HERESY? There is NO EXCUSE for those in the Church to even be enticed by such attempts at Delusion on this one....NONE.

That leads us to this youtuber who recently announced she has left the Church over the Lunar "sabbath".
She first got caught up in the 2520 Nonsense but backtracked.
Then she more recently got caught up in what she and disingenuously and erroneously calls "Biblical Cosmology" or what
would be better known as
flat earth science.
And from there she got infected by Lunar "sabbath" Heresy and finds herself leaving the Church and railing against Church pioneers such as Mrs. White. 
She claims White led the Church that God called up into Babylon because Mrs. White was a strong proponent of the 7th Day Sabbath. (yes, you heard that right. She believes Church pioneers like Ellen White led the Church into part of Papal Rome by keeping the 7th Day Sabbath---because this youtuber believes the "weekend" (Saturday and Sunday) come from the Gregorian Calendar, therefore 7th Day Sabbath keeping is Papist according to her.  --- Now what kind of convoluted psycho-babbel is that to claim SDA's were led into spiritual Babylon of Papal Rome by keeping the 7th Day Sabbath?!?!?
---These people left our churches, but they never really belonged with us; otherwise they would have stayed with us. When they left, it proved that they did not belong with us.
1 John 2:19 NLT
---A man that is an heretic after the first and second admonition reject;
Titus 3:10 
---return unto Me: and if thou wilt put away thine abominations out of my sight, then shalt thou not remove. 
Jeremiah 4:1
