"Article V. The sufficiency of the Holy Scriptures for salvation.
The Holy Scriptures contain all things necessary to salvation; so that whatsoever is not read therein, nor may be proved thereby, is not to be required of any man, that it should be believed as an article of faith, or be thought requisite or necessary to salvation.
Article VI. No Christian whatsoever is free from the obedience of the commandments which are called moral."
Mark.—If the Methodist cannot "read therein, nor prove thereby" that the first day of the week is the Sabbath, then they are under no divine requirement to keep it; therefore, inasmuch as the moral laws are binding, they are under obligation both by articles of their religion and by the Bible to keep the holy Sabbath of the Lord our God as recorded in the fourth commandment of the decalogue, to be consistent with themselves. Where is it taught in the Scriptures that Sunday is the Sabbath? Ans. Nowhere.
"Sunday was a name given by the heathens to the first day of the week, because it was the day on which they worshiped the sun; and this name together with those of the other days of the week has been continued to our times."
"It is also called Sunday from the old Roman denomination of Dies Solis, the day of the sun, to which it was sacred."
Mark.—Here are both Protestants and Catholics agreeing in the heathen origin of Sunday, the day on which the heathens worshiped the sun, and held the day sacred on that account. It should be well known that Sunday is never found in the Bible for the very good reason that it is a heathen and not a Christian name.
