The Chief Pharisee of Canada has been busy lately trying to see when the new moon was to happen so he can toot a horn. Because the law is more important than loving one's neighbor, it is vital that his followers still pretend to be Jewish and keep the miniscule letter of the law.
The lengths Malm and his few acolytes go to in order to be "righteous" is exhausting and totally unnecessary.
When you read Malm's nonsense you can see why he finds Jesus so disturbing and cannot talk about him. Can you imagine Malm ever discussing this:Dr. Roy Hoffman of the Israel New moon Society saw the new moon this evening. He is a highly experienced and skilled observer and had to first find the very faint moon by binoculars, then once the moon was located he could see it with his naked eyes and did manage to get a faint picture. He was the only searcher who did see the new moon.On the grounds that:1. Only one person saw the first light of the new moon, even though he was able to take a faint picture [cameras not being available during the Temple period]2. and that even he, a highly experienced expert, needed binoculars [binoculars were not available during the Temple period or before] to find the faint moon before he could see it by naked eye:I find that a new moon would NOT have been declared for this evening during Temple times.If anyone would like to comment on this please contact me at jddm3@hotmail.comThe new moon and first day of the fourth biblical month will therefore begin at sunset tomorrow evening ending Wednesday, and making all day Thursday the New Moon Day.
Matthew 11:30The Message (MSG)28-30 “Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.”
