I consider his response fundamentally dishonest. His church happens to make a great deal of Christmas and Easter, but suddenly when it comes to Pentecost, we forget the Christian calendar. I am sure that if he took his own advice seriously for the observance of Christmas and Easter he would ...
What religion observes the Sabbath on Saturday? What is the day of worship for Judaism? What is the holiest day in the Jewish calendar? What day is the Sabbath in the Old Testament? What is considered work on the Sabbath? What are the rules for Ash Wednesday? What happens on the Sabbath...
