If I felt I had much to add to the Walker pages, i would do the whole thing with extracts and additional sources, as I do on many other topics.
Personally, I believe anyone truly interested in the sabbath question will give at least a careful skim to The Law and the Sabbath, more than any other one book.
You especially, mfblume, as Allan Walker deals directly and forcefully with your variety-pack of arguments.

I have read the information that you posted. I didn’t read the book, but I did read the relevant pages that you brought attention to. I understand that time is precious, sometimes it is even more precious than at other times.
I will attempt to state the opinion of the author, and then respond to his opinion with scripture. Brother Avery is right about it being easy to read for yourself, and I would recommend everyone who is really interested to do so. I will say this, the author doesn’t prove the point that he endeavors to prove, in my opinion. I will give an effort to explain his position, and how the scripture fails to support his conclusion, and even clearly contradicts it.
For now I will focus my attention solely on the question of whether the Ten Commandments are the old covenant, or not. Maybe later I will address the other issue. I believe that if the old covenant is the Ten Commandments, and I can clearly prove it to be so, the other points will become moot.
And I do appreciate Brother Avery posting the book in it’s entirety. I will probably read it all later. Sometimes it can be helpful to read another opinion, even if our conclusion about the subject doesn’t change. It is possible to strengthen your own doctrine, without being blown about by the “winds of doctrine”. It is difficult for us to dispute a doctrine, that we don’t even have an understanding of.
I hope I can communicate effectively. I will attempt to clarify while hoping to avoid any further confusion. That can be a tall order.
