| Question |
If we are taught that God's law (the ten commandments) is the perfect law and we are to keep this law as an expression of our love for Him, why has the LDS church disgarded the forth
commandment, in not keeping the Biblical Sabbath (Saturday), but adopted Sunday as the Sabbath? We know, through accurate historical records that the Sabbath was transferred from
Saturday to Sunday by the Catholic Church, in the Council of Laodicea (A.D. 336) for a number of reasons (none of them scriptural). We also know that Jesus recognised and observed
the traditional Sabbath and instructed His church to do likewise, which they did. At no time did He change this observance. Why does your church continue to support Sunday, the first
day of the week, as your Sabbath, instead of Saturday, the seventh day of the week, which was ordained as the Sabbath from the time of Creation?

| Response |
From the days of the early apostles to the present, the Sabbath has been the first day of the week, the Lord’s day, in
commemoration of the fact that Christ came forth from the grave on Sunday (Acts 20:7). In our church, we keep the first day
of the week as the Sabbath, not in imitation of what any people in the past have done, but because the Lord so commanded
us by direct revelations to the Prophet Joseph Smith.
The matter of Sabbath observance remains to this day one of the great tests which divides the righteous from the worldly
and wicked. I hope that is helpful to you.
Sincerely,
Donny Osmond
