Project Gutenberg 2009-11-23 Public domain in the USA. 250 Bates, Joseph 1792 1872 A Vindication of the Seventh-Day Sabbath and the Commandments of God With a Further History of God's Peculiar People from 1847-1848 "A Vindication of the Seventh-Day Sabbath and the Commandments of God" by Joseph Bates is a religious publication written in the mid-19th century. The work discusses the importance and observance of the Seventh-day Sabbath according to biblical commandments, arguing against interpretations that suggest the Sabbath has been abolished. It seems to defend traditional Christian beliefs regarding the Sabbath and the moral law as outlined in the Ten Commandments. The opening of the text presents an introduction directed at followers of the faith, emphasizing the significance of the Sabbath and the commandments in the current time, which the author believes are being challenged by various factions within Christianity. Bates expresses a desire to provide a comprehensive defense of these practices, citing scripture and contrasting them with beliefs held by other religious groups of his time. He sets the stage for further discourse on theological controversies surrounding the observance of the Sabbath, aiming to clarify the true position of those who adhere to the Ten Commandments, particularly focusing on the Sabbath as divinely instituted for all humanity.
