Brief
Here we examine the difference between the calendar system Scripture teaches as opposed to what the churches teach and expose their reason why.
Selected Excerpts:

If you claim to be following Scripture and our Saviour, wouldn’t He be your example? Wouldn’t you worship when He told you to worship and in the way He taught you how to worship?
Do you worship as He did, or do you follow some other philosophy?
We know there are many different systems of worship, many false, but only one that is true! Time is another element we can use to distinguish the true from the false. In a previous chapter we identified those who were not properly baptized are unable to answer a simple riddle in Scripture. So it is with the Scriptural system of time.
There is only One Creator and only One Author of time. We are either on His time schedule or that of someone else.
If you are a Christian and obey the Commandments, then you know the answer to the following question. If you’re not obedient to the Commandments or have been taught improperly, you will not be able to answer the question.
Q. According to Scripture, when does the year begin?
It’s a very simple question, wouldn’t you agree? So why is it that most people cannot answer it?
Many people will embroil themselves in controversy over which day to worship on, Friday, Saturday or Sunday? Some will say every day, others may claim any day. All these arguments are futile and reach a dead end unless they can go to the next level of understanding.
It’s a simple method of determining who is on track and who isn’t. There is no sense in discussing the fine points if one completely misses the big picture. To separate the sheep from the goats simply ask basic questions.

When considering the Scriptural system of time, we must understand that we are dealing with an appointment based on a system orchestrated by the Creator of the universe. It’s His time! He sets the meeting! If we want the benefits, we get there. . .on time!! That’s the bottom line. We cannot control time, nor can we control Him. He made the clock before He made us.
Deception enters into this equation when you are given some of the pieces of the puzzle, but not all of them. Confusion takes place . . . sorry, you lose!!! Your adversary doesn’t care how he wins, as long as he keeps you from the truth. By distorting it, hiding it, or getting you frustrated looking for it, he wins. He wins by destroying you and that’s not in your best interest!
Going to a church where you don’t get the whole truth and the facts is like going to a football game, or a basketball game where there’s no ball. You look at each other, run around and make believe, but you can’t play ball. It’s a make believe ball game. In church, it’s make believe worship.
