       Kerry's timeline is absolutely correct. I've known this from way
       back almost 40 years when I used to listen to Herbert W.
       Armstrong, who insisted on the same timeline. I've never bought
       into Easter or Christmas, and though I submit to family in Love
       to observe Christmas, I do not celebrate Easter.
       I do not attend church now, other than volunteering in a federal
       prison Chapel every Sunday night. All churches put tradition
       ahead of truth, from what I've seen.
       I am not sure, in my case, whether its quite a black and white
       for me, I see the truth and tradition mixed together and I do
       also recognise that church is relevant and it is still biblical
       to join together. The prison Chapel - that must be an
       interesting place to be, do you do prison visiting - I know
       there are some very good ministry's within the prisons here in
       the UK, I am presuming you are in the US as you used the word '
       federal '
       I am very familiar with the Messianic Jews, as I have a couple
       of friends in that movement, and often try to recruit me. From
       what I've observed, they insist on observing the Law, which I
       believe was abolished. How can there be continued observance of
       the Law when there is no Temple available for it's full
       observation? It has to be all or none - James 2:10; my take on
       it is, I will not put myself under transgression of the Law for
       the sake of keeping the right days.
       I did not know that, and , like you, I would have a problem with
       it - I guess for many it is no different to our traditions that
       seem deep rooted, it must be part of who they are and difficult
       to just feel ok about not observing them
       I may be coming across as blunt here, but I'll temper that by
       saying that I'm concerned that I don't go to church - see my
       Post about the Eucharist - I do struggle.
       I have always been a member at free churches, so they do not
       have the Eucharist- so I do not know much about it - I will read
       your post x
       Finally, about "The Bible" miniseries on History Channel, I
       wrote a review of it on my Blog yesterday, if anyone's
       interested.

       Sorry to digress a bit but I did not see the post from Coldwar
       until yesterday and I wanted to apologise for now responding to
       it
       Sorry Coldwar, for some reason I did not see your post when I
       was responding last week - have no idea why ( shall I use age as
       an excuse ! )
       Thank you for sharing your thoughts Coldwar- much appreciated x
       Rita

       I will say the one benefit I did gain from the mini series was
       seeing the events in the proper time line starting with Noah in
       the Ark to Paul. That did actually put things into a clearer
       perspective for me personally as far as the bible story is
       concerned.

       I also did not respond to your post George- I am so pleased that
       the mini series has helped you - I think that would have been
       interesting - sadly if it was on the History channel I cannot
       watch it.  Actually I am trying to remember how on earth I
       discovered that the events were not being conveyed in the right
       order ( with regards to Christmas ) - it could not have been
       from any sermons at my churches, that's a bit of a mystery- must
       have read it somewhere in commentary notes.
