It is often argued that keeping of the Sabbath was one of the ten commandments given to Moses, and that, whilst the rest of the Law of Moses was done away, the obligation remains to keep all of the ten commandments. Seventh Day Adventists make a distinction between a 'moral law' of the ten commandments and a so-called 'ceremonial law', which they believe was done away by Christ. This distinction is not taught in Scripture.
Imesisitizwa ya kwamba kuitunza Sabato ilikuwa moja ya amri kumi alizopewa Musa, na ya kuwa, Sheria iliyobaki ya Musa iliondolewa, ulazima umesalia wa kushika amri zote kumi. Seventh Day Adventists (S.D.A) wanatofautisha kati ya ‘sheria ya uadilifu’ ya amri kumi na iitwayo ‘Sheria ya mambo ya ibada kulingana na mwili’, ambayo wanaamini iliondolewa na Kristo. Huku kutofautisha hakujafundishwa na maandiko.
