Intro: In the last decade, the Church has seen increasing controversy about its use of the Hebrew calendar to celebrate God's commanded Holy Days. Historically the Church has used the calendar preserved by the Jewish community. Some have contended that the Jews have not properly preserved the calendar, and have altered it by human tradition since the time of Jesus and the Apostles. Is this true? Do we have a Biblical basis for concluding that the calendar we now use is substantially the same as that used by Jesus and the Apostles? |

| The Hebrew Calendar- Part 2- Who Is Responsible for the Calendar? | Jan-Feb 01 LCN p. 7 | J. Ogwyn |

Did God intend the calendar to be proclaimed by an authoritative body---or is it "every man for himself?" Increasingly, we see people simply doing what is right in their own eyes. Is God the author of such spiritual anarchy? To whom did God give responsibility for the calendar? SubHeads: Which Calendar Did Christ Use? A Calendar for the Church Today |
