I would like to take this opportunity to welcome Dr. Felland to the forum. Judging by his first posting, he will be of great benefit to our discussions. I moved our family Sabbath from Sunday to Saturday as soon as it was pointed out to me that the Sabbath has never changed. A pope "changed" it sometime around 321 AD, but failed to realize that he had no authority to do so. The Sabbath was instigated by God and God has never changed the Sabbath day. The main reason for a Sabbath is for the Israelites to remember how God took them by the hand and led them out of captivity in Egypt. In the same way, Bush would do well to remember that he has no authority to try and take what God has given to the Jews and hand it over to the Philistines. Whoops. Where was I? Oh, yes, geocentrism ... Neville.

H<>ow unlike the calendars of the nations. The Christian world has its years correctly calculated, but not the months. The 365 days of the year are arbitrarily divided into twelve months, which themselves have no relation to the orbit of the moon. The Moslems have correct months, but incorrect years. They simply make the twelve lunar months into a year of 354 days, which is eleven short! The result is that their festivals are not bound to the seasons of the year, and keep shifting, now to the spring, now to the winter, and then to the summer: not exactly conducive to calmness of spirit. Some hold this as being partly responsible for the volatility of the Muslim character!
