'You find me a Scripture verse that says it’s immoral to use the current calendar and I’ll consider it a moral issue.' It isnt a just a moral issue... it's a worship, obedience issue. Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: but the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. (Exodus 20:8—11) Surely My Sabbaths you shall keep, for it is a sign between Me and you throughout your generations, that you may know that I am Yahuwah who sanctifies you. You shall keep the Sabbath, therefore, for it is holy to you . . . a perpetual covenant. (See Exodus 31:13, 14, 16.) Moreover also I gave them my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am the Lord that sanctify them. (Ezekiel 20:12) For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the Lord, so shall your seed and your name remain. And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the Lord. (Isaiah 66:22, 23) Thus saith the Lord GOD; The gate of the inner court that looketh toward the east shall be shut the six working days; but on the sabbath it shall be opened, and in the day of the new moon it shall be opened. (Ezekiel 46:1) Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons( moed-appointed times, feasts, assembly) and for days, and years . . . .” (Genesis1:14 Mōed and Chodesh in word studies are critical to knowing His calendar. Month and new moon is the same word in Hebrew... He appointed [created] the moon for seasons [mo’ed].” (Psalm 104:19) Moed again means appointed times of assembly.. ( not our understandng of the word seasons) The moon as you see is vital in finding His appointed times according to Scripture.. The Gregorian calendar skips that... Uses just the sun. The new moon meaning 'month' in Hebrew as the same word is not an accident. A study of the new moon and its occurances and its tie to the feasts and the Sabbaths in scripture are a way to see His calendar pop out. A little time in Leviticus and seeing it unfold in the Passion week is undeniable. As Ezekiel 46:1 puts it, quoting God. 1. New moon (new month day- first day of month that had the markets closed (Amos 8:5) but the temple was to be open special offerings are listd in sripture. banquets and feasts were held on this day too. 2. Six work days (days 2,3,4,5,6,7 in His month) 3. One Sabbath day (the seventh day of the week, but the 8th day of his month) Then six work days, the the 7th day sabbath(15th of His month) .. then another six work days, then another sabbath (22 day of His month and was the first sabbath recorded in Exodus).then six more work days( then His last Sabbath day of His month. Then a new moon is to be observed in the sky and not calculated by a smartphone. The moon phase is on average 29.5 days.. God's calendar first observed by Moses in the wilderness has four equal Sabbaths and unlike the solar calendar, renews each new moon (month same word in Hebrew) Now scripture says times and laws would change (Daniel 7:25) and the whole world would follow after the beast In reality, at the beginning of each month in God's calendar, there is a day that is neither a work day or a seventh day Sabbath that is the new moon day.(pretty critical to understanding His calendar And His timekeeping. There is one time, each month, that there are seven days before sabbath, so no continuous seven day weeks since the beginning of time. Best evidence in a real scripture battle? The battle of Jericho. It was a seven day march. God, after Forty years in the wilderness , He would not allow Israel to violate a His sabbath. He changes not. And with the Gregorian calendar, there is an obvious violation of the sabbath. With His calendar, if they began the march on the new moon day, Israel did not violate the sabbath... ( and the book of jasher, noted in our scripture a couple times, says that the battle did in fact begin on the new moon day the first day of His month) That is why there are no days named in scripture, only numbers.. The Gregorian calendar is a work of science and man and only uses half of God's timekeeping tools in the sky. And when the moon isn't involved, it is imposible to find His appointed times and His appointed times (especially His Sabbath) And it isn't easter or christmas- that just helps to confirm the counterfeit Gregorian calendar floats around God's and each day of the Gregorian week has the same chance to be the Seventh day sabbath each chodesh. And His calendar isn't a mystery, just lost.. It was observed in our Savior's day..and then calculated calendars came about.. which scripture says would happen that even time and laws would be changed.. Daniel 7:25 Last point.. God's seal ( name, title and territory) is in one place in the ten commandments, the sabbath commandment. I think it is that important.. the choice is God's seal or Satan's mark on our foreheads and hands.. both have a calendar.both have holy days.. One is scriptural, eternal and seen I creation. The counterfeit is found on your smartphone and wall calendar with maybe even Bible verses and man made holy days on it to boot...and the world follows one religiously...

Jesus came to set us free. Not put us back under the bondage to the Law. While we were sinners Christ died for us. There's nothing we can do to make God love us any more or any less.

Romans 14:1-29 As for the one who is weak in faith, welcome him, but not to quarrel over opinions. One person believes he may eat anything, while the weak person eats only vegetables. Let not the one who eats despise the one who abstains, and let not the one who abstains pass judgment on the one who eats, for God has welcomed him. Who are you to pass judgment on the servant of another? It is before his own master that he stands or falls. And he will be upheld, for the Lord is able to make him stand.

One person esteems one day as better than another, while another esteems all days alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind. The one who observes the day, observes it in honor of the Lord. The one who eats, eats in honor of the Lord, since he gives thanks to God, while the one who abstains, abstains in honor of the Lord and gives thanks to God. For none of us lives to himself, and none of us dies to himself. For if we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord's. For to this end Christ died and lived again, that he might be Lord both of the dead and of the living.

Why do you pass judgment on your brother? Or you, why do you despise your brother? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God; for it is written, “As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.” So then each of us will give an account of himself to God.

Therefore let us not pass judgment on one another any longer, but rather decide never to put a stumbling block or hindrance in the way of a brother. I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself, but it is unclean for anyone who thinks it unclean. For if your brother is grieved by what you eat, you are no longer walking in love. By what you eat, do not destroy the one for whom Christ died. So do not let what you regard as good be spoken of as evil. For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking but of righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. Whoever thus serves Christ is acceptable to God and approved by men. So then let us pursue what makes for peace and for mutual upbuilding.

Do not, for the sake of food, destroy the work of God. Everything is indeed clean, but it is wrong for anyone to make another stumble by what he eats. It is good not to eat meat or drink wine or do anything that causes your brother to stumble. The faith that you have, keep between yourself and God. Blessed is the one who has no reason to pass judgment on himself for what he approves. But whoever has doubts is condemned if he eats, because the eating is not from faith. For whatever does not proceed from faith is sin.

Acts 15:1-29 But some men came down from Judea and were teaching the brothers, “Unless you are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved.” And after Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and debate with them, Paul and Barnabas and some of the others were appointed to go up to Jerusalem to the apostles and the elders about this question. So, being sent on their way by the church, they passed through both Phoenicia and Samaria, describing in detail the conversion of the Gentiles, and brought great joy to all the brothers. When they came to Jerusalem, they were welcomed by the church and the apostles and the elders, and they declared all that God had done with them. 5 But some believers who belonged to the party of the Pharisees rose up and said, “It is necessary to circumcise them and to order them to keep the law of Moses.”

The apostles and the elders were gathered together to consider this matter. And after there had been much debate, Peter stood up and said to them, “Brothers, you know that in the early days God made a choice among you, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel and believe. And God, who knows the heart, bore witness to them, by giving them the Holy Spirit just as he did to us, and he made no distinction between us and them, having cleansed their hearts by faith. Now, therefore, why are you putting God to the test by placing a yoke on the neck of the disciples that neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear? But we believe that we will be saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, just as they will.”

And all the assembly fell silent, and they listened to Barnabas and Paul as they related what signs and wonders God had done through them among the Gentiles. After they finished speaking, James replied, “Brothers, listen to me. Simeon has related how God first visited the Gentiles, to take from them a people for his name. And with this the words of the prophets agree, just as it is written,

“‘After this I will return, and I will rebuild the tent of David that has fallen; I will rebuild its ruins, and I will restore it, that the remnant of mankind may seek the Lord, and all the Gentiles who are called by my name, says the Lord, who makes these things 18 known from of old.’

Therefore my judgment is that we should not trouble those of the Gentiles who turn to God, but should write to them to abstain from the things polluted by idols, and from sexual immorality, and from what has been strangled, and from blood. For from ancient generations Moses has had in every city those who proclaim him, for he is read every Sabbath in the synagogues.”

Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole church, to choose men from among them and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas. They sent Judas called Barsabbas, and Silas, leading men among the brothers, with the following letter: “The brothers, both the apostles and the elders, to the brothers who are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia, greetings. Since we have heard that some persons have gone out from us and troubled you with words, unsettling your minds, although we gave them no instructions, it has seemed good to us, having come to one accord, to choose men and send them to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul, men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. We have therefore sent Judas and Silas, who themselves will tell you the same things by word of mouth. For it has seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us to lay on you no greater burden than these requirements: that you abstain from what has been sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from what has been strangled, and from sexual immorality. If you keep yourselves from these, you will do well. Farewell.”
