This first post is actually a result of research of whether one should keep the Sabbath which is something that I had to be sure about because according to their position, Christians who worship on Sunday are not saved. Along the way I found a good page that thoroughly debunks Sabbath keeping as a requirement that I'm trying to share with SDA friends:

And a good video I found on debunking Sabbath keeping which also covers some of Ellen G White's visions:

Here’s my totally non-spiritual, but sociological, view of observing the Sabbath —
Keeping the Sabbath gave us American Football. And Golf.
You heard that right. Now hear me out. The American Christian public post-WW2 observed Sunday as their version of the Sabbath. It was “keep holy the Lord’s Day.” The Bible says so, eh? Since Sunday for Christians was the new holy Sabbath, we would go to church, and then the rest of the day we could not work. Americans worked M-F, did work around the house on Sat, then rested on Sunday after church. What should we do while we rest, with new TV’s in our homes? Watch them! And the NFL and the PGA capitalized on this.
There you have it,
bearbear, keeping the Sabbath American style.
