That analogy is only applicable if the “broken calendar” is “saying” the same thing every day, but it is only true once a year. The opposite would hold if someone only says something once a year, which is true every day.

You can’t deny it or won’t deny it so you avoid the discussion. Face it catholicism is in error on this. I know that’s hard to accept. It’s why the catholic has to engage in verbal gymnastics on these issues.

If you truly extend an amen to all that is in that article, well, may God have mercy upon such a soul.

[Mrs. Don-o]

Avoid the discussion! Fer cryin' out loud: as if I and other Catholics haven't patiently and repeatedly answered every one of your objections, over a period of months and years, to be received with "Nice dodge!" from you --- in other words, reception disabled.

I have better things to do. I'm going out to prune my goji plants. And if any of the dang kudzu has made its appearance over the backyard fence: war to the death! Uukhai! :o)

[Mrs. Don-o]

May God have mercy on us all, MHGinTN.

Are you saying there are other ways to Heaven other than Christ alone??

Heavens no. The pope has said so many wrong things lately I was surprised he got this right.

July 16.

[Mrs. Don-o]

I don’t understand your reference. July 16?

This pope’s own homilies show he does not know what salvation is or how it happens. His comments regarding being baptized and that puts one in the church where they are then a Christian in a community tells us what the catholic apologists at FR keep repeating without comprehension. Catholics believe they have salvation through fealty to a sacramental trail. The Vatican tells them that the Catholic Church is the sheepfold and only by being catholic are they going to eventually obtain Heaven. Of course that means purgatory at the end of the average catholic life, and then eventually heaven. And that is anathema to what JESUS and the APOSTLES taught and the Bible illustrates with the day of Pentecost and the house of Cornelius ...

Today is Nisan 14 on the Jewish calendar. It is the day of the Passover Jesus celebrated the night before His sacrifice on the Cross for us and for our salvation. Tomorrow is the date of His crucifixion. Today, this evening, is the time to practice a bread and wine REMEMBRANCE of His work on our behalf, as He instructed we do and the believers in Asia Minor did until Rome established a Sunday observance so that it corresponded to a pagan celebration, to mollify the Roman power structure under which Anicetus lived.

>> “Today is Nisan 14 on the Jewish calendar.” <<

It will become Nissan 14 at sunset.

Yehova does not honor pagan Roman days that begin at midnight.

[MHGinTN]

Go play gotcha somewhere else, Roodian.

[editor-surveyor]

No gotcha, just pointing out the difference in how Yehova tallies his days.

[MHGinTN]

And you are absolutely correct. God is not following a Roman emperor’s calendar. It is on Nisan 14 that Jesus went to the Cross for us and for our salvation. He was on that Cross at the same time the lambs were being slaughtered by the Hebrew Priests for the people. I was a High Holy Day determined by the Moon phases, not the names of days, thus it could have been on a Roman Thursday or even a Friday ... I’m sure you know which day it actually happened, but I’ll bet very few reading these threads know that there were TWO Sabbaths that week.

[editor-surveyor]

Quite correct, two Sabbaths, the “high” Sabbath of Passover, and the regular Sabbath, separated by one regular “preparation” day as per Luke (who was most likely writing Peter’s telling of events to him some time later).
