Question:
I am in partnership with those who do not keep the seventh day Sabbath. I could sell out, but what should be my course in the meantime?
Answer:
“Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.” (2 Corinthians 6:14-18)
In light of the above scripture, we could only say that for ourselves, we would begin now personally to obey God. We should tell Him all about our business and partnership with the outside, confessing our sins and consecrating to Him our all. We should ask. Him to help us close out our business to the best advantage, and soon. Putting it off will lead to compromise, and compromise in duty is death. Therefore, in response to your question, “I could sell out, but what should be my course in the meantime?” we would say, Sell, and in the meantime, obey God. You could refuse to take any profits from your Sabbath-transgression business. The question is one of personal duty.
“Do thy duty, that is best,
Leave unto the Lord the rest.”
