Mormons & The Sabbath
Someone knocked upon my door.
I checked my decency with what I wore.
I opened the door and I peeked out.
Two young men. Mormons without a doubt.
They asked me if I knew the Lord.
I said “No way” cause I was bored.
They handed me a flyer from their church.
Told me about the meeting there first.
Asked me if I would consider coming.
I said “it sounds like, maybe, a fun thing.
Then I asked “Is it on Saturday?”
They said “No, it is on Sunday.”
The door had been opened so off I went.
I unloaded it all till I was spent.
“How come it’s not on the Sabbath?”
They said “It is. Sunday is the Sabbath.”
I said “Last time I looked Sabbath was Saturday.”
“The calendar shows the 7th day is Saturday”
“Jews keep Saturday as the Sabbath.”
“It’s the same day Jesus kept as Sabbath.’
They told me about how it was changed.
I showed them ‘the church’ made the change.
Told them they are following the Catholic Church
‘The church’ has the authority to make it work.
According to The Pope. God’s man on earth.
I told them take it for what it’s worth.
I asked for a scripture changing Sabbath to Sunday.
They couldn’t produce even one to say.
By this time I saw some doubts.
The Holy Spirit was working it out.
Looks of confusion crossed their faces.
One bent down and tied his laces.
I said “Look up the answer & we’ll talk some more.”
They never came back to knock at my door.
