"The Sabbath is a part of the Decalogue - the Ten Commandments. This alone forever settles the question as to the perpetuity of the institution. God Himself made the Sabbath as integral part of the great epitome of moral and religious duty. ( See Ex 20:8-11. )
Until therefore it can be shown that the whole moral law has been repealed, the Sabbath will stand . . . Pg 474
The teaching of Christ confirms the perpetuity of the Sabbath.
The Sabbath was made for man… He Says: The Son of Man is Lord also of the Sabbath.
Though the day is sacred, yet I am its Lord, for it exists by My authority, and I have the right to designates the manner in which it is to be kept. Instead, therefore, of abrogating the Sabbath, He recognized its binding, perpetual nature, by saying: Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one little shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Pg 475.
