Hi JH! The problem is, our faith isn't like a car, it's like an RV. Not only does it have to get us from point A to point B, but we need to live in it along the way. :)

And Hi to you WS, glad to see you on this new thread, and I hope you had a good ??????Easter/Passover/Good Friday/ Resurrection/week. Lol

The problem is, if I use an RV in the analogy, it then starts getting as complicated as the organized Churches have already made it, and my point was simplicity. (^g^)JH

We use the Gregorian rather than the Julian calendar to track holy days. The Julian is one of the RC innovations that you and the other NC's like to rail against. I'm surprised you don't go off them about it more. We're still in the midst of Lent, and Orthodox Pascha isn't until May 5.

Quite. It would be wonderful if everything was simpler. Bibles would be brief enough that they wouldn't need to be on onionskin paper. Too bad the reality is different.

BTW, I bought a new Bible last week, first in awhile. It's been a treat - God led me to a good choice, and it's become my constant companion. KJV. God bless.
