If it’s not seen, even if it is there but behind a cloud, the month cannot begin. <br /><br />James considers this is God’s prerogative to either move the clouds or not. But only for one day!<br /><br />On day 30, regardless of the moon being seen or not, a new moon is declared, because it ‘must be there’, regardless of the clouds.<br /><br />This is why he has gone ahead and published the amended dates. It seems that James will only allow his god to delay the month by one day, and no more.<br />Questerukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06659962107808147107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-92064700807352422072015-03-22T12:41:46.780-07:002015-03-22T12:41:46.780-07:00And since the new moon sighted in various places w...And since the new moon sighted in various places well , uh, 'varies' the Malmites, not to be confused with Malamutes, will be observing holy days at all sorts of different times thus ushering in an age of mass confusion.<br />It is a great time to be a Pharisee of Pharisees.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-40801337514425072752015-03-22T12:31:51.719-07:002015-03-22T12:31:51.719-07:00"What if it is cloudy for a month?"
Unf..."<i>What if it is cloudy for a month?</i>"<br /><br />Unfortunately, if they don't see the crescent moon the first night, they have to call it the next night, they don't even have to look anymore, because a lunar month can't be any longer than 30 days. But that would be great if it would make a month be 45 or 60 days lol.<br /><br />"<i>Just what kind of a hand and what is the nature of that hand that God can wave? Does God have teeth to chew his food n digest it? Does God go potty?</i>"<br /><br />Of course he does, and he uses that hand to grab those fluffy white clouds to wipe his omniscient butthole with. Why do you think the clouds are dark sometimes? Those are the used clouds. Then he depresses the lever and it starts to rain. Don't listen to meteorologists. They have a conspiracy going. They all know the truth, but they tell you all this "sciencey" stuff instead.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-1034218913647058732015-03-22T12:09:00.119-07:002015-03-22T12:09:00.119-07:00I think Malm's mind is CLOUDY!I think Malm's mind is CLOUDY!

It is also why the civilized world turned to "fixed" calendars, starting with the Babylonians, and began calculating the new moons by the mathematics of conjunction. <br /><br />Let's use an analogy. Suppose pilot X were flying a twin engine Cessna from Toronto into the Saskatchewan Airport (Isn't that close to Malm?). Complicating things, the weather is overcast. Now, suppose pilot X were instrument-rated, and could safely land under instrument flight rules, but insisted on not landing because he preferred visual flight rules. That is the equivalent of what Malm is doing! <br /><br />What is so peculiar is that when I saw the first sliver of the new moon last evening, I immediately thought of James Malm, and the other sabbatarians who want to keep a fixed calendar to number off their sabbaths, but insist on using the old pre-fixed rules to determine when the new moon actually occurs. This is exactly the sort of ridiculous situation that fanaticism gets people into. We have international communication, we have airplanes which could fly above the cloud cover, and we have modern mathematics, but a fanatic insists on throwing off the measurement of an entire year that is supposed to be holy to himself and his followers because there were clouds!<br /><br /><br />BBByker Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15602697337552385535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-90831914865606586792015-03-22T10:31:24.713-07:002015-03-22T10:31:24.713-07:00What if it is cloudy for a month??What if it is cloudy for a month??Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-40505514840874604792015-03-22T09:59:57.773-07:002015-03-22T09:59:57.773-07:00Just what kind of a hand and what is the nature of...Just what kind of a hand and what is the nature of that hand that God can wave?
