Ouch.! and Allen says the word is simple and straight forward to understand. Col. 2:16 16. Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: That language is way above my head. I havn't a clue what it means, yet I have to ask, who among men can claim the Divine right to preach it to me. Is meat all food or is it beef. Is drink all liquid or only booze. ?? I could think of harder things to understand in the Bible. Allen you have not responded to how you approach 2Peter 3 -16 16As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.

Col. 2:16 16. Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: It seems that if I want to seek out a Biblical Calendar and walk in that "narrow path," at least it should be allowed and not judged.

All you know is that there is such a thing a new moon but with out scripture to tell you anything other than that, You cannot make statements or calendars with any more detailed other than what is provided. If it is not provided don?t try to "MAKE IT". I don?t understand why this is difficult. If text doesn?t provide every little detail then you must be satisfied with what it does state not speculate about what it is not saying. Don?t think beyond what is written. > >Allen > > >"Dr. Neville Jones" wrote:1 Sam. 20:5 >1 Sam. 20:18 >1 Sam. 20:24 >2 Ki. 4:23 >Ps. 81:3 >Isa. 66:23 >Eze. 46:1 >Eze. 46:6 >Amos 8:5 >Col. 2:16 > >So, again I ask you, Allen, is it a "new" moon or isn't it? > >Neville. > >Allen Daves wrote: >I guess I missed that posting. What are the references for this? What scriptures are we talking about?..I know this if it calls it a new moon then it is a new moon. If it does not specifically call it a new moon then you shouldn't read into it. You take it exactly what all the scriptures say about that moon the way it says it. If scripture does not specify how would I or anyone for that mater know? And what proof could you offer anyway? Something?s are just not given and It will not contradict itself if you don't force meaning on it. > >Allen > >--------------------------------- >Yahoo!
