WWJD? He was 100% Torah-observant as He walked the earth; He kept the Sabbath holy, He celebrated the Feasts of the Lord, He ate only clean food, He wore tzitzit.... Yeshua the Messiah was born a Jew, lived as a Jew, taught as a Jew; His original followers were Jews. To claim that they were not Jews or Jewish is ludicrous! Even Paul was a Law-abiding Pharisee. The Bereans checked what Paul taught with the OT - the OT was the standard Paul had to meet.\n\nWhat is not Jewish in Christianity are the heresies which Emperor Constantine formalized for the Roman Empire and which his puppet Pope, Sylvester, claimed the authority & power to change God's Law and rubber-stamped the apostasy into canon law of the Roman Catholic Church. Unfortunately, when the Reformers tried to break away from the vain traditions of men, they were not successful; they failed by maintaining Sunday Sabbath, Easter Sunday, Christmas - things which the Bereans would not have accepted, things which Paul would not have accepted, things which the original disciples & apostles would not have accepted. Who thinks that God would ever accept those traditions?! (Hint: God has NEVER tolerated any paganism mixed in with His worship. Paganism is an abhorrent abomination to God.)\n\nYou cannot server two masters.... You can follow the path of Yeshua the Messiah, The Way, the Truth & the Life. Or, you can follow the path of a pagan emperor (until his death bed baptism - for whatever good that did, only God knows) and the traditions of Popes (& Reformers, et al).

The roots of this holiday go as far back as 1621 when the Pilgrims who arrived in the New World from England celebrated a particularly bountiful harvest following a very harsh winter earlier in the year.  \n\nThanksgiving was originally intended to be just that – a day of giving thanks for all that we have been blessed with:  homes to shelter us, food to sustain us, friends and family to support us, and the freedom to worship and live in any way that we might choose.   I could tell you that this warm and fuzzy sentimental tradition is still carried out today, but I would be lying.  Thanksgiving has become all about the food, and it is viewed as the final hurdle we must cross in order to unabashedly start reveling in the Christmas season. \n\nThe Pilgrims were members of the English Separatist Church, and sailed to Holland in order to flee from religious persecution.  They did experience more religious freedom while there, but became disillusioned with the Dutch way of life, viewing their way of living as ungodly.  Eventually, the Pilgrims managed to strike up a deal with a London stock company, who helped to finance this pilgrimage to America.  Oddly enough, only about one-third of those aboard the ship (for those of you who don’t know it was called the Mayflower) were actually religious Puritans.  The remainder of the men on board were hired by the stock company to protect their interests.  \n\nSo as the story goes, the Pilgrims landed on Plymouth Rock on December 11, 1620.  The Pilgrims were unprepared for the harsh New England winter that lay ahead of them, and by the following fall 46 of the original 102 who sailed on the Mayflower had perished.  However, the harvest of 1621 was bountiful, and the Pilgrims decided to celebrate with a feast, including the Indians who had helped them to survive through that first year.  The feast lasted for three days, and did not include the traditional items we think of when we think of Thanksgiving dinner today.  The meal included wild duck and geese, venison, boiled pumpkin, fish, berries, clams, lobster, dried fruit, and watercress.  \n\nThanksgiving was celebrated off and on over the next few hundred years until it was finally established as a legal holiday by Congress to be celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November every year in 1941.

That is silly. I just got back from deer hunting on Sunday. As for the church thing that is wrong to actually Saturday is the sabbath according to the bible. Being the last day of the week and all. But, I am from Louisiana. I can not answer your question per se. But, I am sure with enough support you could get the law changed to something more managable. Like a morning hunt. Not all people believe sunday is a day of rest..It is a day I get away from family and friends. \n\nSorry to hear about this crazy law. About as bad as our Liqueor Law...cant by it on sunday but church nuts say it is ok to buy beer and wine...something to do with all the ancient church goers had and could drink go figure

No.  No direct link at all.  It was not his birthday.  It wasn't even a Christian Holiday till after the Roman Catholic Church began to celebrate next to Pagans in hopes of getting converts (which right here shows me that the persecution they claim that went on, was not as wide-spread as they would like us to believe).  They ended up taking Pagan traditions from things like the Roman Saturnalia and other cultural traditions for Solstice celebrations that Pagans had during that time of year (Yule falls on the 1st day of Winter and was usually celebrated for about a week).\n\nAs for the Xmas thing... the X was a Greek symbol, Chi Rho, which meant "good passage" in many Greek writings.  It was later used as a symbol for Christ.  Some say it's the cross turned on it's side and meant to show the defeat of Christ... but I have yet to find any such thing in history that relates to that at all.\n\n\nHope this helped

Bernard Coffindaffer (1935-1993)\n\nAfter two heart by-pass operations, he liquidated his business and two years later had a vision. "A genuine, marvelous, glorious vision,' he said, "The Holy Spirit instructed, blessed, dealt with me and told me how to go about installing these crosses. It was an experience you have once in a lifetime. He was told what to do: Get manpower, materials, and plant crosses. 'I worked like a dog for the money, eighteen hours a day for thirty-five years,' he said. 'The Holy Spirit knew I had the money and was willing to spend it, and I'm not going to back down." For the nine final years of his life, he obediently spent approximately $3,000,000 planting the clusters of three crosses in 29 states, District of Columbia, Zambia and The Philippines. Site owners donated the land's use for the crosses and Coffindaffer paid all the bills.\n\nCoffindaffer started the protect on September 28, 1984, stating, "Not for saints or sinners. For everybody.

Be sure your sins will find you out fidgety.\nIt was competition day at the local golf club and the retired Colonel found himself paired up with the Bishop.\nThey set off and it wasn't long before the Colonel forgot who he was playing with and on missing a short putt exclaimed,"Bugger,I missed!"\nThe Bishop shook his head reproachfully.\nA little later,the same happened again,and the Colonel missed an easy putt.\n"Bugger,I missed!" he shouted loudly,at which point the Bishop was forced to tell him that the Almighty would not be pleased with his language and that something dreadful might happen to him.But almost immediately on the next hole theColonel missed his drive and was so incensed he shouted and swore for a good half minute.\nAll of a sudden the skies opened,there was a terrible clap of thunder,and lightening struck the Bishop dead.\nAfter a short pause a voice was heard from above,\n"Bugger,I missed!"

You are the blessed one. Greetings. This time is the most peaceful in 24 hours' cycle. Your next prayer be dedicated to the holy Prophet Joseph(Yusuf in Arabic). He was in agony. An Archangel was assigned to carry the Divine gift of Peace. It was that time, the time before the first light on the horizon. Almanac tables(like of the Navy) provide that time on any date of the year, in any longitude/latitude. When mylord Yusuf offered thanksgiving to The Lord, it was 'decreed' that 'that time' of our 24 hours, be for ever be the time of tranquility, peace, restfulness, solace, and communion with the Unique One Lord of the Universe. Every gets a chance to wake up at that hour. Some waste it away. Others, like you, spend that chance in prayers.  Greetings again!

I'm sorry, I couldn't find your church, your description paints an interesting picture that I would liked to have seen.  I tried using the search criteria you provided, maybe if/when you remember some more details, you can search for it at the following sites.  The Archives only go back to March-April of 2006, being a fall setting, it may have been 2005.  Good Luck \n\nAAA HOME AND AWAY:\nhttp://www.homeandawaymagazine.com/\n\nARCHIVES:\nhttp://www.homeandawaymagazine.com/content.cfm?p=archives.cfm

I absolutely agree with Julia...they were wise enough in life to have found the way to live good lives in the sight of God, why should we not celebrate them? Get rid of Martin Luther King Day, President's Day and the such if we shouldn't celebrate the Religious Holy
