God's Holidays (Holydays) Calendar 2005

New Years Day: First Day of God's New Year: (God begins the year with the Spring not Winter).
New Years Day begins sundown Saturday April 9 until Sunday sundown April 10.

1.) 1 Yearly Memorial Evening and Day for Jesus: Honouring of Jesus via Footwashing & 1 Broken Bread & 1 Wine Toast.

Taken in memory of Jesus' being tortured and giving up His life, to stand in your place; as "you" deserve 2 whippings down to the bone until the bones of your ribs show, and "you" deserve to be nailed to a beam, and "you" deserve to be speared through the heart,-not Him. One imbibes these elements (the broken matzos=broken body, and the wine=the blood, with a Repentant attitude, thinking of Jesus being the living human lamb sacrifice to pay "your penalty," for "your sins," to make you presentable to the Father, as you swallow the elements. The Father then accepts and sees Jesus in your place, and you receive the promise of eternal life.

Commandment Keeping is "NECESSARY" FOR SALVATION.

How can one sin if there is no law to transgress?

* No work period starts at sundown. No work means positively "no" mental or physical worldly labour as it is a time to rest to be used as Holiday (Holyday) only.

**No work period applies starting sundown "if" Passover falls on a Friday evening.

Editor's Note: No work is performed Friday sundown to Saturday sundown all year in addition to the Holiday (Holyday) celebrations.

These days were celebrated by all the disciples and Paul "after" Jesus' resurrection and were never abolished as only the animal sacrifices were abolished. These days telling us of God's plan & timetable, were kept by all true Christians until the 3rd Century or until the Romans changed them by force/penalty of law/death.
