THE ADVENT TRUTH
What about Romans 14:5, isn't it the verse that deletes the Sabbath?

Romans 14, is not Paul giving us a “choose-your-own-commandment” pass. It’s Paul addressing matters of personal conviction—like eating certain foods or honoring man-made days of fasting—not the eternal 4th Commandment that God Himself wrote in stone.

Think. If Romans 14:5 means you can pick any day to be your Sabbath, then why stop there? Why not choose your own day to not steal? Your own day to not commit adultery? Obviously, that’s absurd. The Sabbath is not a suggestion—it’s a command. One rooted in creation (Genesis 2:2–3), reaffirmed at Sinai (Exodus 20:8–11), and still honored by Jesus, Paul, and the early church long after the resurrection (Luke 4:16; Acts 17:2; Acts 18:4). If the New Testament church believed the Sabbath was a “do-it-yourself” doctrine, why did Paul spend three Sabbaths reasoning in the synagogue in Thessalonica (Acts 17:2)? Why did Jesus say He is Lord of the Sabbath (Mark 2:28)—not Lord of whatever day you feel like?

The context of Romans 14 is crystal clear: Paul is talking about doubtful disputations—gray areas of personal conviction. Not the eternal moral law of God. The word “Sabbath” is never even mentioned in the chapter. He’s dealing with people arguing over fast days and feast days, not the hallowed 7th day God sanctified from the beginning. Don’t let human tradition twist Scripture to justify disobedience.

Because here’s the truth: God didn’t ask for your opinion on which day is holy. He declared it. And the Sabbath is still the only commandment that starts with the word “remember”—the one most Christians have forgotten.

Is God’s law unchanging—or does personal preference override divine command?
