Chart #49

Abraham kept the Ten Commandments, including the Sabbath Command. 
Genesis 26:5
1. This is purely an assumption.
2. Of over 800 texts in the Bible which contain the words “The 
   Commandments” about 98 percent refer to something more or 
   less than the entire 10 Commandments.
3. All that God told Abraham to do can be considered as 
   commandments.
   A. Leaving his country. Genesis 12:1
   B. His sacrifice of Isaac. Genesis 22:10-
   C. His going in unto Sarah to father a child. Genesis 21:2-3
   D. His circumcising all the males. Genesis 17:10
   E. Etc.
4. Abraham also kept the “statutes and laws”.  Genesis 26:5
   A. If the mention of Abraham’s keeping “commandments” means 
      that he kept the 10 Commandments, then on the same basis, 
      his keeping “statutes and laws” would mean that he also 
      kept the rest of the law of Moses.
   B. Now will my opponent tell us which law was added 400 years 
      after Abraham at Mt. Sinai, if Abraham was already keeping 
      the 10 Commandments and the Law of Moses.  Galatians 3:16

Chart #50 Did Abel Keep the Sabbath?

Argument: 

  1. Jesus called Abel "righteous" - Matthew 23:35
  2. Hence, Abel kept the Sabbath.
  3. Therefore, we are to keep the Sabbath.

But:

  1. Jesus called Abel "righteous" - Matthew 23:35.
  2. Abel offered animal sacrifices - Genesis 4:4.
  3. Therefore, animal sacrifices are binding today.

What proves to much proves nothing.
My opponent assumes something he cannot prove!!
To say that Abel kept the Sabbath day is an assumption pure and simple.

Chart #51 Did Enoch Keep the Sabbath?

Argument: 

  1. Enoch "walked with God".
  2. Hence, Enoch kept the Sabbath.
  3. Therefore, we are to keep the Sabbath today.

But:

  1. Enoch, "Walked with God.".
  2. Hence, Enoch offered animal sacrifices.
  3. Therefore, we are to offer animal sacrifices today.

What proves to much proves nothing.

My opponent assumes something he cannot prove.

To say that Enoch kept the Sabbath is an assumption - pure and simple.

Chart #52 Did Noah Keep the Sabbath?

Argument: 

  1. Noah was a preacher of righteousness. 2 Peter 2:5
  2. Hence, Noah kept the Sabbath.
  3. Therefore, we are to keep the Sabbath today.

But:

  1. Noah was a preacher of righteousness. 2 Peter 2:5
  2. Hence, Noah offered animal sacrifices.
  3. According to my opponent's argument Christians are to offer animal sacrifices.

Again:

  1. Noah was a preacher of righteousness.
  2. Hence, Noah built an ark.
  3. According to my opponent's argument, Christians are to each build an ark.

Again:

  1. Noah was a preacher of righteousness. 2 Peter 2:5
  2. Noah got drunk.
  3. Therefore, Christians today are to get drunk!!

"Shame on my opponent"
What proves to much proves nothing.
My opponents assumes something he cannot prove.
To say that Noah kept the Sabbath is an assumption - Pure and simple.
