WHAT COMMANDMENTS?

By R. F. C.

THAT we are in the last days, all Adventists admit. The last test of probation is the tremendous warning against the worship of the beast and his image; and the people who stand the test and are prepared for the coming of the Son of man are described as those who “keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.” When the test is brought to bear upon the people, it cannot be otherwise than that there will be much discussion and contention about these commandments—whether or not it is duty to keep them.
The approved of God will keep them. But, says an objector, “What commandments will they keep?” The very ones that are in dispute. These are the ten commandments. Those of the Jewish ritual are not in dispute; consequently, there is no test upon them. No Christian people holds them to be binding; but the whole Christian world are in agitation about the ten commandments. We repeat it with emphasis, The test is coming upon the very commandments which are in dispute. What shall we do in order to stand the test? say they have been changed or abolished? No; keep them.
