Ben Carson’s Past Faces Deeper Questions
http://www.wsj.com/articles/ben-carsons-past-faces-deeper-questions-1446861864 ^

In his 1990 autobiography, “Gifted Hands,” Mr. Carson writes of a Yale psychology professor who told Mr. Carson, then a junior, and the other students in the class—identified by Mr. Carson as Perceptions 301—that their final exam papers had “inadvertently burned,” requiring all 150 students to retake it. The new exam, Mr. Carson recalled in the book, was much tougher. All the students but Mr. Carson walked out.

“The professor came toward me. With her was a photographer for the Yale Daily News who paused and snapped my picture,” Mr. Carson wrote. “ ‘A hoax,’ the teacher said. ‘We wanted to see who was the most honest student in the class.’ ” Mr. Carson wrote that the professor handed him a $10 bill.

No photo identifying Mr. Carson as a student ever ran, according to the Yale Daily News archives, and no stories from that era mention a class called Perceptions 301. Yale Librarian Claryn Spies said Friday there was no psychology course by that name or class number during any of Mr. Carson’s years at Yale

Christians follow Christ. Christ did not keep Sunday. The change from Sabbath to Sunday was a manmade one. Nothing in the Scriptures can be read to support a divine change.

These people are nuts.

Looks like Carson is going to be another “Great Disappointment”

What, does Carson think because he is black that he can lie without question? Enough. Too many lies. He should apologize and quit.

No, Jews worship on Saturdays, Hindus and mozlums on Friday, and Christians on Sunday.

The cult this freak belongs to keeps predicting a day and time that Jesus is coming.

They are nut jobs, snake oil salesmen like the Mormons.

I don’t think it’s being about a successful brain surgeon. I think it’s about being a successful black man. The Dems don’t want a successful black man. I don’t plan to vote for Carson, but the media attacks on him are the lowest of the low.

The rest of Christianity didn't get the memo.

Carson probably has one of these charts stuffed in his little black bag.

I’m sure he has seen that, but you didn’t answer my question. Where in the Bible is there a divine change for Christians to worship on the first day of the week?

I would say that perhaps something is not true about the allegations..

This is all brainless crap..idiotic parsing of a personal biography story that has no bearing on anything..These are just anecdotes from long ago and every personal bio has these things where time and places are off a bit and real names are not used for obvious reasons.

Did this book vault him into the White House? Did it make him famous? did he make a fortune from it?

No....

People wanted him to tell his story so he did. As best as he could. I I wrote mine, it would be full of errors and even some perceptions where I saw it differently then others..in fact there would be a lot of that.

What’s next.....

Will we find out that he crapped his pants in 1st grade and lied about it..

Where does it say in the Bible that Christians worship on Sunday or the first day?

Act 20:7 And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.

Extrabiblical witness as well:

90AD DIDACHE: "Christian Assembly on the Lord's Day: 1. But every Lord's day do ye gather yourselves together, and break bread, and give thanksgiving after having confessed your transgressions, that your sacrifice may be pure. 2. But let no one that is at variance with his fellow come together with you, until they be reconciled, that your sacrifice may not be profaned. 3. For this is that which was spoken by the Lord: In every place and time offer to me a pure sacrifice; for I am a great King, saith the Lord, and my name is wonderful among the nations." (Didache: The Teaching of the Twelve Apostles, Chapter XIV)

100 AD BARNABAS "We keep the eighth day [Sunday] with joyfulness, the day also on which Jesus rose again from the dead" (The Epistle of Barnabas, 100 AD 15:6-8).

100 AD BARNABAS: Moreover God says to the Jews, 'Your new moons and Sabbaths 1 cannot endure.' You see how he says, 'The present Sabbaths are not acceptable to me, but the Sabbath which I have made in which, when I have rested [heaven: Heb 4] from all things, I will make the beginning of the eighth day which is the beginning of another world.' Wherefore we Christians keep the eighth day for joy, on which also Jesus arose from the dead and when he appeared ascended into heaven. (15:8f, The Epistle of Barnabas, 100 AD, Ante-Nicene Fathers , vol. 1, pg. 147)

110AD Pliny: they were in the habit of meeting on a certain fixed day before it was light, when they sang in alternate verses a hymn to Christ, as to a god, and bound themselves by a solemn oath not to (do) any wicked deeds, never to commit any fraud, theft, or adultery, never to falsify their word, nor deny a trust when they should be called upon to deliver it up; after which it was their custom to separate, and then reassemble to partake of good food—but food of an ordinary and innocent kind.

150AD JUSTIN: "He then speaks of those Gentiles, namely us, who in every place offer sacrifices to Him, i.e., the bread of the Eucharist, and also the cup of the Eucharist, affirming both that we glorify His name, and that you profane [it]. The command of circumcision, again, bidding [them] always circumcise the children on the eighth day, was a type of the true circumcision, by which we are circumcised from deceit and iniquity through Him who rose from the dead on the first day after the Sabbath, [namely through] our Lord Jesus Christ. For the first day after the Sabbath, remaining the first of all the days, is called, however, the eighth, according to the number of all the days of the cycle, and [yet] remains the first.". (Justin, Dialogue 41:4)

150AD JUSTIN: ...those who have persecuted and do persecute Christ, if they do not repent, shall not inherit anything on the holy mountain. But the Gentiles, who have believed on Him, and have repented of the sins which they have committed, they shall receive the inheritance along with the patriarchs and the prophets, and the just men who are descended from Jacob, even although they neither keep the Sabbath, nor are circumcised, nor observe the feasts. Assuredly they shall receive the holy inheritance of God. (Dialogue With Trypho the Jew, 150-165 AD, Ante-Nicene Fathers , vol. 1, page 207)
