The Fourth Dilemma by Dr. Peter Erens Barkhuizen
\nB-<\/strong><\/p>\n

I was asked to read this little book regarding the importance of the Sabbath. It is printed so as to be distributed freely as an evangelistic tool, and inside the book itself it is written: “Distribution goal: 20 million copies”. Well that certainly is a large goal, but is this book worthy of that large goal?<\/p>\n

It is largely a story of the personal journey of the author to come out of a Sunday-keeping church, into the truth of keeping the seventh-day sabbath of the Lord. As such, it is commendable, and higly readable. Somehow tho, it seems that the latter half of the book was written much later, and is of the sensationalist style ala “National Sunday Law” with many words in all caps, and ramblings about many non-essential things (like the episode regarding the National Enquirer) etc.<\/p>\n

The only cause for doctrinal pause is given on page 56 of this 58 page book. “I am NOT lost every time I sin.” hmmmmm. While being true in the sense that we don’t have our names immediately erased from the Book of Life as soon as we sin, it is absolutely true that if we do not repent from any known sin, our names definitely WILL be blotted out, and we will die the eternal death. Then in the same paragraph he says: “When you keep God’s Sabbath, motivated by unconditional love, the deeper implication is that your judgment is OVER!” Those who know me well know that i cringe deeply whenever confronted with “unconditional love”, but actually in this context of our love\/submission towards God, it just might be true. But is our judgment actually “over” when we keep the sabbath? hmmmmm.<\/p>\n

I understand that Peter Barkhuizen has since gone out of the Seventh-day Adventist church, and some members went right out with him, so i would not recommend this book to anyone now.
