Not to mention making non believers think all believers are nuts. They balk when you remind them that Elohim is NOT the God of confusion. They get pretty nasty as well. I quickly realized I needed to shake the sand off my feet...<br />Funny thing is my good friend and I both read this and independently thought it sounded very much like a woman we used to know. If true, that tells us she has not made any progress in her walk and all we can do is hold her in prayer. <br />Again, thank you, I mistakenly thought she was speaking only of the moons of both months. Now I see<br />her thinking. Reminds me of the 70's song Ball of Confusion.

And the "1st" of the month is not a "day" at all in the continuous 7-day count to each of their weekly Sabbaths, and some months the "30th" day of the month AND the "1st" day of the next month are not counted "days" either! But, I digress....<br /><br />To answer your question specifically, note they are addressing the FULL moon as their "new moon", which is seen in the EAST, not the "new moon" we know, which is seen in the WEST. So what they are saying is that (in our time) when the SUN is in the constellation Pisces (where it is in March each year), the FULL moon will be seen in Virgo. So what they do, instead of establishing the month of Nisan so the new moon (using the common definition) falls so Passover will occur on or after the Vernal Equinox, they watch instead for the FULL MOON, (which at that same time of the year will be in Virgo, and they insist that the month of Nisan does not "begin" until the FULL MOON is at the "feet of Virgo". <br /><br />Clearly, what these people don't understand is that thousands of years ago, the full moon of Nisan would NOT have been in Virgo, because the sun, in ancient times, in Nisan was in Aires! That puts the full moon of Nisan in Libra! What part of the constellation Libra would these people say "marks" the place where the full moon should be? <br /><br />It literally blows one's mind how they justify this! The full moon is clearly, CLEARLY not "NEW"! The full moon is CLEARLY the halfway point of the moon's month, and thus it should mark the half-way mark of a calendar. But, if you spend any time reading the nonsense of these people, it quickly becomes clear they interpret MANY scriptures wildly differently than the scripture actually says!

Which is it virgo-autumn or vernal-spring?Joanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16206585604122387398noreply@blogger.com
