Part II

    T he following is the second of nine arguments advanced by David C. Pack of the Restored Church of God when refuting A Sabbath Test. Each argument is responded to by Blow the Trumpet.

Argument II:
The Authors Have an Agenda
   

    Throughout his essay, Mr. Pack portrays the authors of A Sabbath Test as evil men driven by sinister motives. He refers to them with labels such as “laodiceans,” “one issue critics,” “modern day Pharisees,” and “hypocrites” just to name a few. He also contends that these men only want to lay heavy burdens on God’s people. He then offers his theory as to why the authors of A Sabbath Test wrote this book in the first place.

As with all the other “proofs” used to support their unstable hypotheses, this “proof” is tailored to fit the authors’ predetermined conclusion.

Our Response:

    Anyone who reads A Sabbath Test with an ounce of objectivity will see Mr. Pack’s assessment as nothing short of brainwashing. He advances these accusations because he can’t rebut this book on its own merits. Therefore, he throws out so much spin that it would drive a crooked politician to envy.

    While Mr. Pack claims the authors are defending a “predetermined conclusion” the opposite is actually true. These men openly acknowledge that they once dined out on the Sabbath regularly. This was their practice until just a few years ago. However, they were challenged to study this issue by those who already understood God’s truth in this area. Their study was driven by a genuine desire to seek out God’s wisdom, not to defend a "predetermined conclusion.” What we at Blow the Trumpet want to know from Mr. Pack is: What drives you? When you started this essay did you already have your mind made up? It certainly appears so.
