Dear Darwin and Laura,
Hello! I was handed your newsletter in with a pile of other material. After going through it all, I came across yours and loved it a lot! It was a very interesting newsletter, that I have ever came across. Questions and Answers -- Great Stuff!
But one of your articles by David Ben-Ariel, "The Oracles of God" (Newsletter, Issue #29 on Page #18), was very interesting! About the sacred calendar -- do you have info on this?
Laura writes:
We recommend the following books: "The Comprehensive Hebrew Calendar" by Arthur Spier -- Feldheim Publishers, 200 Airport Executive Park, Nanuet, NY 10954 and "Understanding the Jewish Calendar" by Rabbi Nathan Bushwick -- Moznaim Publishing Corporation, 4304 12th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11219.
We will enclose with your newsletter the document "Moses Maimone, Hebrew Calendar" and possibly a few other items in regard to the calendar.

When are the true days to celebrate His Holy Feasts?
Laura writes:
The Holy Day dates we will be keeping in 2006 come from the Hebrew Calendar and are as follows: Passover/1st Day of Unleavened Bread (April 13, Observed at Sunset the Evening Before), Last Day of Unleavened Bread (April 19), Pentecost (June 2), Trumpets (September 23), Atonement (October 2), Tabernacles (October 7-13) and the Last Great Day (October 14).

The calendar we use today is not what Yahweh created according to Gen. 1:14. The moon does not match the days on the Roman Calendar! (Psalm 104:19)
Laura writes:
The Roman Calendar is not the calendar used to determine God's Holy days. The Roman Calendar is a Solar Calendar only.
The calendar used to determine God's Holy Days is the Hebrew Calendar which is a Lunar/Solar Calendar.
Robert writes:
Plus if the Roman Calendar is false, this means Saturday is not the true Seventh Day Sabbath. Which Day?
Laura writes:
Even though the Solar Calendar we use today has been changed a couple of times through history, the weekly cycle has never been changed. So Saturday is the true Sabbath.
"Between 1582 and 1752 and down to 1919, all the nations of Europe gradually changed to the new calendar. But all during these 337 years, everyone had the very same days of the week." See: http://www.bible-sabbath.com/calendar.htm and http://homeworkhelp.aol.com/default?id=20050618120809990001
