Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith; Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth. Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled." (Titus 1:13-15) I love you and say in all sincerity, you are in great deception. You suggest celebrating the day of death instead of the day of birth? Dear brother, birthday celebrations are a celebration of life which comes from God. God is the source of life and responsible for us coming into the world. Satan and sin are responsible for death. Why would you want to celebrate that? Let us mourn the day of death, for it is a departure from all that God had ordained in the beginning. Passover is NOT a celebration of death. Passover is a celebration of death passing OVER those appointed to death. Passover is a celebration of life that comes through faith in Jesus Christ, a celebration of escape from death. If you celebrate at all at the time of death, let it be a celebration of the coming resurrection which brings life. I've been fasting a week now and had a revelation yesterday which I might call, "The Eighth Day Sabbath." I don't know if I will have time to write it down and bring forth the Scriptures which show it, but basically it was a revealing that Christ ushered in a Sabbath based upon faith and the Spirit that supplanted the Sabbaths of the covenant of Moses. Whereas the covenant of Moses had a Seventh Day Sabbath, the covenant of Christ brings forth an Eighth Day Sabbath. The way in which it supplants the covenant of Moses is that its establishment historically causes cultures who worship Christ to shift their workdays so that the first workday is Monday. Cultures which are syncretic and merge Judaism with Christianity end up with a 5 day workday rather than a 6 day workday as the commandment of Moses speaks about. Those within this culture which work six days give precedence to Christ's Sabbath, so that their 6 day work week begins on Monday and ends on Saturday. So counting forward from their first workday, they rest the seventh day, but it is the eighth day if counted according to the first day of the calendar method of counting. This view is concealed in the Hebrew Scriptures through many of the ceremonial laws, concerning circumcision, the first fruits, and especially the feast of tabernacles, wherein it is said, "the First Day is a Sabbath and the Eighth Day is a Sabbath." Look closely also at the words of the prophet Ezekiel in Ezekiel 43:27. Many more things involved with this revelation, including history and many Scriptures, but that must suffice for now. Peace be with you. David Miller, Beverly Hills, Florida USA ---------- "Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer every man."
