Overcoming Objections to the Seventh-day Sabbath
Salesmen like to say "an objection is simply a request for more information." This principle is true not only in sales but in every form of communication and dialogue. So when someone makes an objection about the Seventh-day Sabbath I understand they are simply asking for more information. This page is an ongoing project to provide resources for every "request for more information."

13. Wasn't The Sabbath Only a Memorial of Deliverance out of Egypt? here
14. Wasn't the Sabbath only made for the Jews? here
15. What Day is the Sabbath Day? here
16. From earliest apostolic days Christians kept Sunday in honor of Christ's resurrection. This is clearly revealed in two scriptures, Acts 20:7 and 1 Corinthians 16:2. Answered here
17. The Jews kept the Sabbath as a memorial of creation, but shouldn't we Christians keep Sunday in memorial of the Resurrection? here
18. If the early Christians kept the Sabbath, why did they break bread on the first day of the week? (Acts 20:7) here
19. If Saturday is the right sabbath, why do not more leading men believe it? If what you preach about the sabbath is true, why wasn't it discovered before? here
20. If you keep the Sabbath because, as you think, it was kept before the law of Moses, why do you not practice circumcision, seeing it is plainly commanded in those ages? (Genesis 17:1-14; Galatians 5:1-6.) here
21. If you keep one Sabbath-the seventh day-why not keep all, the seventh year and the year of jubilee? Who authorized you to make a distinction in favor of the seventh day? (Leviticus 25:1-22.) here
22. In Exodus 31:14 we read that Sabbath violators were to be stoned to death. Do you believe the same penalty should be enforced today? If you say that the penalty feature of the Sabbath law is done away, then you have really declared the Sabbath abolished, for a law has no force if there is no penalty provided for its violation. Again, in Exodus 35:3 we read that no fires were to be kindled on the Sabbath. If you believe the Sabbath law is still in force, why do you kindle fires on that day? here
