Batchelor is a Seventh-Day Adventist, so this should not surprise anyone. Wikipedia calls Seventh-Day Adventism “a Protestant Christian denomination distinguished by its observance of Saturday ... as the Sabbath”.
“Very few people, after
accepting Christ, dispute nine of the Ten Commandments, but the fourth they
often see as a ‘personal preference’ or optional commandment. But it’s not just
a recommendation from Moses; it’s the law of the Almighty.
The devil doesn’t care whether your sin is adultery or murder or Sabbath breaking, just as long as he can get you to sin and separate you from God.”

That sounds serious. So how come so many
evangelicals don’t keep the Sabbath? Are we all casual about obeying God’s
commands, as Batchelor suggests? Are we perhaps misinterpreting scripture?
I don’t think so.
