We will appeal to you who read this: Find someone who can support you to put the following announcement in the biggest newspaper in your country, on page 5. You may use the text below, make your own lay-out, and include the ten commandments, both as they are found in the Ex. 20:3-17 and in the Lutheran Catechism. Then people may see the difference themselves.

Presently Christian leaders all over the world are uniting to exalt the weekly rest of day. Pope John Paul II is appealing to
the Christian world to observe the sacredness of Sunday. The focus is therefore on the Ten Commandments. But have we
been exposed to a gigantic deception? We are here uncovering a serious falsification that is little known to most people. In
our country and the world at large immorality is increasing, and a steady effort to combat the situation is manifested on a
daily basis.
IGNORANCE?
In this connection, with respect to those who have leading positions in our country, we want to ask the following questions:
Do they - the prime minister, the representatives of the government, the church and educational minister, the bishops,
the priests and the ones that teach Christian subjects in schools - know that the commandments in the Cathechism on
several points are completely different than God's Ten Commandments?
In the Cathechism, the 2nd commandment has been removed. Furthermore, they have removed most of the text, as found in
the Bible, connected with the Sabbath commandment. This commandment says that we must have the seventh day, the
Sabbath, as the rest day. Sunday is, according to the Bible, the first day of the week. Since they removed one commandment, they
were one commandment short. To restore a total of ten commandments, they divided the last commandment in two. They also
have taken away nearly all the text in the Biblical fourth commandment, which says that we shall have the Biblical Sabbath,
the seventh day of the week, as the day of rest. Furthermore they have taken away the text in this fourth commandment which
says that God in Heaven is the Lawmaker, and not the Catholic Church. At least they have taken away the text which tells us
that God blessed and hollowed the Sabbath day. The removing of these vital important texts of the Ten Commandment in
the Cathechism is a serious fraud. The Catholic Church has made a very big falsery. The biggest falsery in history! They have
really broken the Law of God. [Compare the two printed examples of the commandment law].
THE PRIESTS When the priests assume their priestly duties, they are admonished to preach the Word of God with clearness and purity, as
it is written in the Scripture. Why are they proclaiming the commandments of the Cathechism and not God's Ten
Commandments? Are they not aware of the fact that they are misleading the people when they teach the commandments the way they are
written in the Lutheran Cathechism? Are they not aware that the Cathechism commandments actually are originating from the
Catholic Church? They made this falsery long time ago before Luthers was borne.
THE REST DAY COMMANDMENT
In the Cathechism commandments, there is no mention of what day we must keep as a rest day. But as we have seen, in
the fourth commandment in the Bible, it is written clearly that we should have the Sabbath as the day of rest. So when
professed Christians are putting a focused emphasis on the rest day, it ought to be the day the Creator has made holy and blest,
the Sabbath.
The Biblical Sabbath, the seventh day of the week, is from sunset Friday to sunset Saturday (Gen. 3: 23,32). But man
has instituted Sunday as a rest day, which is the Biblical first day of the week. (Gen. 2:1-3).
According to the weekly pattern found in the Bible, Sunday is the first work day. This is applicable also today (Neh. 13:
16-21 and Luke 16:1-6). Therefore it is astonishing, and at the same time sad, that the Lutheran Church, with all its
branches, supports the Catholic counterfeit commandments and their spurious day of rest, Sunday. They thereby accept the
changing and breaking of God's holy law.
Those who have knowledge of this, and accept it, and do not turn away from this fraud, are indirectly accepting law breaking
and testament falsification. The result is that God is compelled to withdraw his blessings from our nations and our people,
unless acknowledgment and conversion take place (Jonah, chapter 3).
TIME FOR DECISION
Now is the time to clothe ourselves in «sackcloth and ashes», to humble ourselves before God, to acknowledge our
mistakes and to ask forgiveness and mercy. Then God will through Jesus Christ forgive us, protect and guide us. We will receive
His peace that is beyond understanding (Isaiah, chapter 56: and 1.John 1:9).
Jesus has given His life to redeeme us. When we experience His love, it will also be a joy to keep god's commandments
(1. John 5:2-3). With God's help we can receive strength to do just that (1. Cor. 10:13). It is important to keep God's
Ten Commandments because we will be judged by them when our lives have come to an end (Eccl. 12:13-14).
We are seeking to present this issue with our country, the responsible religious leaders, and the people of our nation in
mind. Everyone must understand that this is serious, and must make their decision, either to follow the commandments of men
(and thereby accept the authority of the papacy), or to follow God's Ten Commandments (and have God as their supreme authority).
The Bible appeals to us time and again to understand that our actions are followed by consequences. God's word says; If
we walk in His commandments and keep His law and do them, it will be well with us, but if we do not obey Him, and do not
keep His commandments, then calamities will come upon us (Lev. chapter 26 and Deut. chapter 28). This principle is also
applicable today.
THE TEST
Today Christian leaders are uniting and wanting to exalt the false rest day, the day of the sun (Sunday). Pope John Paul II
gives a strong appeal to the Christian world in his pastoral letter, Dies Domini», for the exaltation and enforcement of the
man-made day of rest, coupled with the Catholic and unbiblical Eucharist (Communion), where they are sacrificing Jesus anew every
time they eat the wafer (Communion bread). This is contrary to what is standing in the Bible, in 1 Cor. 11:23-26 and Hebrews
9:24-28).
When we know about the change that is made in the day of rest, we are responsible for making the right or wrong choice.
And the Bible says the issue of the day of rest will come into focus and become the great test of loyalty just before the return
of Jesus. Then Sunday as the day of rest will be promoted by law, or force, and they that refuse to accept the man-maid rest
day, will not be permitted to buy or sell (Rev. 13:11-17). There are many signs pointing in the direction that the global
Sunday movement, which is flourishing today, is the prelude to this great conflict.
The test will be: Will we exalt the papacy's unbiblical rest day, or will we choose to be faithful to the Creator and worship
and exalt Him on the day He has blessed and set aside for holy use?
THE CHOICE
Signs in our time indicate that Jesus Christ will soon return to gather all them that believe in Him, they that keep
God's commandments and have the faith of Jesus (John 3:16 and Rev. 14:12). Who will then be ready? We have laid the foundation
for this today!
