A high-profile debate is set to take place this Friday between Apostle Talent Farai Chiwenga of Jesus Revelation Ministries and Evangelist Marufu from the Seventh-day Adventist Church (SDA).

The topic of discussion will be whether or not believers should observe the Sabbath, a day of rest observed on Saturday.

Apostle Chiwenga is expected to argue that the Sabbath is not a New Testament practice and therefore should not be observed by believers.

This view is based on the understanding that the early Christian church did not observe the Sabbath, but instead met on Sundays to worship and break bread.

Chiwenga’s stance is rooted in biblical teachings, specifically in the New Testament, which emphasizes the importance of faith in Jesus Christ and the freedom from the law.

On the other hand, Evangelist Marufu, representing the SDA, will likely defend the Sabbath, citing biblical commandments to keep the seventh day holy.

The SDA church believes that the Sabbath is a day of rest and worship, and that observing it is essential for Christians.

Marufu may argue that the Sabbath is a symbol of God’s covenant with his people and a reminder of his creation.

The debate highlights the different interpretations of biblical teachings on the Sabbath.

According to Ephesians 2:20, apostles and prophets were part of the foundation of the church, but their roles have ceased to exist in the modern sense.

Evangelists, however, continue to play a vital role in spreading the gospel and promoting the Christian faith.

Apostle Chiwenga is known for his outspoken views on various topics, including the role of the church and the state.

He has been critical of other prominent pastors and government officials.

The debate between Apostle Chiwenga and Evangelist Marufu is significant, as it highlights the differing views on Sabbath observance within the Christian community.

It also underscores the importance of understanding biblical teachings and their application in modern times.

As the debate unfolds, it will be interesting to see how both sides present their arguments and engage with each other’s perspectives.
