What kind of non-sense is this? Using a calendar is not worshiping it. Or did you mean worship according to the Gregorian calendar, as you are a sabbathtarian?
The world observes and ‘reformers’ too worship the pope gregory calendar, the pope’s sabbath(most) and pope’s holy days... All unbiblical..and all will be defended and explained away by ‘reformers’..
This is typical RC logic (evenm if you are not) and is absurd, as its premise is that if we accept and use anything, such as a point of reference, then this means we recognize the validity of the whole system
Yet we use terminology and reference points from the world, and operating systems from atheists.
Meanwhile, religiously observing "days, and months, and times, and years" (Galatians 4:10-11) as in the liturgical calendar of Judaism or Catholicism is not NT worship led by the Spirit.
The pope’s calendar tells you what a work day is... and what a sabbath day is(for all major religions BTW).. and all the world-business, governments and religions accept the pope’s calendar as their standard and are united behind it...
Scripture too tells us what a work day is, what a holy day is, what a sabbath is, but that is ignored for the world’s system..
Scripture gives us His calendar and timekeeping and it isn’t based solely on the sun like the pope’s calendar- that isn’t new-scripture and history speaks on ancient sun worshippers...
Your entire life (and the world BTW), runs on a counterfeit of our Heavenly Father’s calendar. Mine was too before I was blessed by His Spirit with this knowledge.
His calendar is in His sky and His template is throughout His word and fulfilled by our Messiah which each major event of His life on earth...
The Messiah was born, circumcised, dedicated, baptized, killed, rested in tomb, and raised on either a new moon, sabbath or feast..
Those are all days that are found in our Heavenly Father’s calendar and without His calendar, one may accept counterfeits instead of the Genuine..
None of those can be found using the pope’s calendar. They can only be counterfeited..
And the master counterfeiter is our enemy..
So, I observe the calendar that has a template in Ezekial, and confirmed in both the old and new testament and perfectly fulfilled by That Word that became flesh and dwelt among us..
We are called not to conform to the world and His Word and His Creation gives us a perfect calendar that actually points to the Way, Truth and Life and His Kingdom..
But december 25, easter and sun’s day worship, certainly are the standard for the greco roman latin mother church and her daughters..
And all the reformers start with that same foundation..
I am not comfortable with that foundation...
I actually concur with the first reformers about the papacy being an part of the ‘instead of’ or ‘in place of’ Messiah..
Reformers today can accept that premise or not- but if they do accept that the papacy is that dangerous, then maybe anything the papacy teaches is something a reformer should be careful to accept as ‘givens’..
And it may be uncomfortable..even a punch in the gut...
We are to be preparing for our bridegroom... what if all we ever knew or cared to know about our Bridegroom, taught by our mother and daughter churches, is just a greco roman latin counterfeit?
Could Satan be that subtle? That devious?
The father of all lies living in the greco roman latin mother church? most early reformers say yes..
Birthing daughters who are taught and the spread lies, even subtly? Most reformers would say no, not all of them..
I am not so sure...
And without Him showing me His calendar and His timekeeping, (and how it fit our Messiah’s life) I would still be a slave to this world and the world’s system...
But Truth has set me free from living my life based on counterfeits given to us by the master counterfeiter..
But all are free to live as they choose...
But it is important that there is a calendar that the world doesn’t observe but was created at Creation..and the special appointed times and set days on that calendar point to the Messiah- it was given to Israel for rehearsals and shadows for their coming King and Kingdom..they too have ignored it and accept the world’s calculations..
And who knows, maybe it will be used for His return..
I just want to be one of the wise virgins and be prepared for the Bridegroom..
His timekeeping keeps me awake...
But to each his own..the world and the church is united so you can get a job on a moonsday-friyas day business week basis, and still find the churches sabbaths. And get some other man made holy days off like July 4th..
Can’t do that with His calendar. July 4th is a work day this year on His timekeeping.
