From: "David Miller" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Therefore, using the Jewish calendar, the first day of the month was always a new moon and the middle of the month was the full moon. It really is that simple. The problem is that you do not believe me, so study some history about calendars like Blaine has and you too will understand.
JT: You must be behind on your reading David because this thread is resolved; I disagree with you on some other issues but this is not one of them. I just needed to see and understand it in God's Word for myself - I've now seen the movie and compared to some of the other controversies the state of the moon pales. Actually I did do my homework and learned that watchers in Israel would light fires when the saw the New Moon to let everyone know that the other was coming along with some other interesting trivia. judyt God allows the devil to raise up heretics to make his people study ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Corresponding dates of the past with our present calendar is not always so simple. However, determining that the moon was full when Jesus was crucified is VERY simple. You don't seem to understand that the Gregorian calendar was not put into use until 1582. At the time of Christ, there was no Gregorian calendar like we use today. There were people who visually looked for the new moon to determine when the month would start. This day would be a rest from worldly business, a day wherein trumpets were blown and sacrifices were offered (see Num. 10:10, 28:11, Amos 8:5). Peace be with you.
