 All videos -  The Seventh day 1, 2, 3, 4, 5  Jim Arrabito- LLT productions: This is part four of 'The seventh day' documentary. This documentary talks about the history and the persecutions against the Sabbath keepers in Russia, Vasili and the Ethiopian Sabbath keepers, the Portugal inquisition and the inquisition in Goa, India! What is the Sabbath? The Sabbath is the fourth of the ten commandments. There is a big argument and there has been through the ages about keeping the sabbath day or not keeping the sabbath day. Which is it? Are the ten commandments done away with totally?

Can we keep some of the commandments like the one that says 'thou shall not steal'  and not the one that says 'remember the sabbath day to keep it holy'? Is the law of God changeable? Can we choose which one of the ten commandments we can keep? Has the sabbath day been changed? Who did the change? If not God, can we follow this person instead of Jesus who always kept the sabbath? LK 4:16 'as His cuscome was, He went into the synagogue on the sabbath day and stood up to read'.

Continuing the story of Jim Arrabito who founded the LLT ministry: Before his death, Jim had outlined the whole video project from beginning to end in a series of almost 600 pictures. This storyboard includes the sequence of events, the visual and audio effects, the time periods and places, props, paintings, maps, characters, and other visuals which will be needed. He had designed sets for illustrative scenes and begun construction of them. While the program was laid out on the storyboard, the script had not been written, and the research was not filed. Before production could continue, the documentation and information for the script had to again be compiled.

This monumental task has since been completed. Part 1 was released in June of 2000, Parts 2 and 3 were released in 2002, Part 4 in 2004 and Part 5 in 2005. The remarkable story of God's Sabbath-keeping people throughout history can now be told and shared with the world. This important project was initiated by heavenly inspiration, and accomplished by divine guidance and the grace of God. Jim's Autobiography (Written in 1989)  I was born in 1950 to Seventh-day Adventist parents, John and Evelyn Arrabito. My paternal Grandfather, Salvatori Arrabito, was an immigrant from Sicily who became a Pastor and raised up churches in San Francisco, the East Bay, Stockton and Lodi among the Italian immigrants.

I attended Academy at PUC Prep for two years, and then went on to attend Pacific Union College for 3-1/2 years, and received an A.S. degree in Art there.  During and between my school years, I worked at a variety of construction jobs, including several years on the "paint crew," sheetrock hanging and finishing, carpentry, masonry and other cement work. At the conclusion of my school experience, I continued working in construction part time, and began to develop an "art" clientele. I illustrated several books for Pacific Press, and began  some freelance work. In the Fall of 1976, I was hired by the Berkeley SDA Church to head up their storefront witnessing program, The New Winepress, where I had sometimes gone with witnessing teams from the College on Sabbath afternoons. Their goal was to reach the "street people" and others with the Gospel via a vegetarian juice bar and restaurant, health programs and lectures, a community center to give clothes when needed, etc.

We converted the store which they owned into a lecture room with an area for media presentations, built in a juice bar, held cooking schools and spent much time with the local street people inhabiting the area. What an education! We soon learned from personal experience not to give anyone money, no matter what needy story they presented! But we were able to give them food when they  were hungry, an ear to listen when they wanted to talk, and prayer when they realized their need. We often brought folks home with us to the country on weekends. de l'observation du dimanche, les lollards en Angleterre.

Unfortunately, this experience lasted only about four months, due to changes which took place in the church.-----Quatrieme partie du documentaire ' The seventh day' parle de ceux qui gardaient le Sabbat en Russie, Vasili et ceux qui gardaient le Sabbat en Éthiopie, l'inquisition au Portugal et a Goa en Inde!b
