This position page is written from the viewpoint of a transitioning Adventist. It explains why the Seventh-day Adventist teaching of replacing the Holy Spirit with the Sabbath is unbiblical.

Replacing the Holy Spirit with the Seventh-day Sabbath

By calling the Sabbath God's seal instead of acknowledging that the Holy Spirit is God's seal, we have come perilously close to blaspheming the Holy Spirit.

I believe that this position is unbiblical and offensive to God. First of all, if the Word of God teaches that the Holy Spirit is the seal of God -- and I believe it does -- then the third person of the Godhead is the rightful owner of that chair. If we have placed the Sabbath -- something that God created -- in God's chair, then we have taken something that God created and placed it in the seat of the Deity.

Whenever we place something God created in the position He claims as His position, we've declared war on God's right to be our God! Our God is a Jealous God! I truly believe that Adventism is in serious danger of blaspheming the Holy Spirit with its traditional teaching regarding the seal of God. Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is a dangerous place to be! I believe the Sabbath is significant, but the way the church has taught it is wrong, and we need to repent of it.
