I am very happy with the current calendar for it is scientifically accurate. Now, on a theological level, I worship on the Lord’s Day which is Sunday when the 2nd Person of the Holy Trinity, Jesus Christ, True God and true man, eternally begotten of the Father, incarnate of the Most Holy Virgin Mary Mother of God, who suffered, died and was buried, rose from the Dead.
So rather with respect to my thinking vs. yours, you are thinking like a fundamentalist protestant, most likely some type of Adventist or Jehova’s witness, who who most likely doesn’t believe in the Trinity and that Christ is to use the latin term, consubstantial with the Father.
Man made Holidays” those days became tied to Christ because of the Incarnation. He became incarnate at a place and time and he rose from the dead at a place and time. The Catholic Church sees time as sacred because it is a sacramental sign that points to Christ, the Liturgical worship calendar of the Catholic Church [Orthodox would have something similar] is ordered in terms of time with a reference to the person of Jesus Christ.
In summary, you can have your “flat earth” views of the world, I am ok with the Gregorian Calendar.
See, I knew you understated the influence of the mother church.. I gave you solid evidence the entire world runs on it.... and those Protestants you speak of are worship a counterfeit too...
That isn’t a good thing in Daniel or Revelation..
Scripture tells us and hints to the life markers for Joshua, the Messiah of Israel’s ties to His calendar.. and it is a wonderful testimony to His Truth.
The Messiah of Israel was born, not on December 25, but on the new moon of the month when the sun was in Virgo, ( sun clothed her)and the moon was under her feet- the 6th month of His calendar.. it is a constellation in revelation 12 but without studying the stars one may not catch that)
The messiah of Israel was circumcised on the 8th day, according to Torah- which is a Sabbath on His Calendar.the eighth day according to Ezekiel 46:1’s template given by Our Sovereign..
The Messiah was dedicated in the temple after 40 days of purification of his mother, Miriam.. and that dedication occurred on the 10th day of the 7th month, which according to Torah, is the day of atonement- Yom Kippur.
The Messiah then was baptized on his 30th birthday, a new moon day on the first day of His 6th month..
Immediately he spent the 40 days/nights fasting in the wilderness to purify himself, as was done before His dedication in the temple 30 years prior.
The Messiah of Israel was killed on Passover.. and because it wasn’t in evening as Torah commanded, a supernatural darkness was over all the land..
The Messiah of Israel was placed in the tomb and ‘rested’, even in death, on the High Sabbath, the 15th day of the 1st month.. He then raised on the first day of the week, the 16th which is the feast of first fruits ( this year on the Gregorian it was a ‘Frigg’s day- not the sun’s day)
You can choose the counterfeit over what you consider ‘flat earth’..
Just know Torah did actually come in the flesh.. and His appointed times, set times were almost all fulfilled in Yeshua’s first coming..
Knowing His calendar is knowing the Messiah.. but the world certainly has its conterfeit savior and its counterfeit worship.. and you and ypur protestant daughters are welcome to it.. I reject it and have heeded the call to ‘come out of her, my people’...
No, delchiante appears to be a follower of the Hebrew Roots Movement in one form or another (Google Michael Rood, Hebrew Roots Heresy). They represent a fundamental attack on the reliability of the Christian Scriptures, and are as antithetical as anything can be to a fundamentalist Protestant, who BTW would be in total agreement with the conclusions of Nicea, except for those very few who didn't get taught. Those "fundamentalist" folks are where I have some of my earliest roots, and I don't know why so many RC folks here do not know what they actually believe.
Peace,
