The book, "A Response to the Video: Seventh-day Adventism, the Spirit Behind the Church" by Bob Pickle, is now online at http://www.pickle-publishing.com/papers/jeremiah-films/response-to-video-table-of-contents.htm Gilbert Jorgensen | ||

I just ordered a hardcopy of this book so I can study his specific allegations without having to print it all out. The thing I found fascinating is that his business accepts orders and processes credit card payments on the Sabbath -- at least it is 11:41 pm Friday night here in Utah. His business is located in Minnesota and so I can say unequivocally that he just sold me a copy of his book on his Sabbath. So much for any arguments he has about "keeping the 7th-day Sabbath". Hmmm. Or perhaps Bob Pickle has some way to rationalize doing business on the Sabbath. I am reminded of my favorite two-part Sabbath question for Adventists. I wonder how Bob would answer this?

Yes, you're hitting on the Achille's heel, Gilbert. Sigh. Colleen | ||

I can't help but notice the irony of Ellen White accusing the Roman Catholic papacy of all manner of evil, including changing the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday, while Bob Pickle in his response on the Sabbath seeks support from "Catholic writers" to buttress his response. His response #161 is weak indeed. The Mormons use better logic than this! It follows that if it is something "we have to be told, not something we naturally know" that we need to then be open to what the New Testament, for example Hebrews 3-4, has to say about it. Bob seems to overlook that aspect. I have not read the rest, but if they are no better than this Mark Martin has nothing to fear. Pickle's response wouldn't stand a chance against a book like "The Sabbath and the Lord's Day", by H.M. Riggle. http://www.ratzlaf.com/Qstore/Qstore.cgi?CMD=011&PROD=1001721730 I consider Riggle's book to be absolutely essential for any inquiring Seventh-day Adventist. Gilbert Jorgensen |
