I understand that doctrine Dennis.

Certainly it is the one most modern christians profess.

However....if one studies carefully what the first century christians practiced....you will fuind they did not:

1. celebrate the birth of christ
2. DID still celebrate all the 'jewish' Holy days that G-d Himself ordained.
3. they observed the seventh day sabbath.

what people now profess is the traditions of men....things men changed over time....adopting pagain festivals and celebrations into so called 'new' christian holy days....

even Paul observed the sabbath.

good intentions aside....those who do understand are not trying to belittle or humiliate others who do not understand Dennis....we must howebver bear wittness to the truth. That is out commission from G-d Himself in scriptre.

I was raised a devote Catholic and ws one for some 35 years.....it was not easy to accept that which i was shown and I certainly did and maybe still do fight it and tryt o rationalize around his truth....i also as can be seen deal with attacks from my own family on what i believe.....

the truth is certainly a narrow path to walk and easy to stray from.
