As a Canadian, I would love to know if Bro. Bernard has heard of and read Dr. Jordan Peterson and what he thinks of him. Particularly his book, 12 simple rules and his study on both Genisis and Exodus.
The books I really enjoyed as a child and teen were Jumbo, a historical fiction about Jumbo the elephant, Edvard Grieg boy of the Northland, Volume One of the Charlie Brown Encyclopedia The Human body, all of those I read in elementary school in grade 3 and 4. As a pre teen and teen I really enjoyed the Great Illustrated Classics like David Copperfield, Journey to the Center of the Earth, Around the World in 80 Days, Oliver Twist. Some really great books.
A great analysis of how our brain develops a much richer lexicon of our world by reading over any other venue. If we take a time span of about 6000 yrs of known history, the media of sound and vision were very limited for 5000 years of that time. The decrease of reading and the increase of using images no doubt has changed the course history.
I’ve always enjoyed listening to you speak. Surely all that reading has helped you become a good speaker. I have used the following verse to discourage myself from reading books. However, after listening to your podcast, I am encouraged to read more. What can you say about this verse? Ecc 12:12 And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.
I am a oneness believer and I'm a member of a upci church. My question to our superintendent of UPCI, Rev. Bernard is: was Jesus really born on December 25th as is celebrated by many denominations, including us?
The Bible said to cut down the green trees that the pagans worshipped under and do not worship me like they did their god's. I asked the Lord who is imitating who? The church of Rome! Find and read the book called the Battlefield. Verbal Bean. 2 Peter 2:1-3 [1] False prophets appeared in the past among the people, and in the same way false teachers will appear among you. They will bring in destructive, untrue doctrines, and will deny the Master who redeemed them, and so they will bring upon themselves sudden destruction. [2] Even so, many will follow their immoral ways; and because of what they do, others will speak evil of the Way of truth. [3] In their greed these false teachers will make a profit out of telling you made-up stories. For a long time now their Judge has been ready, and their Destroyer has been wide awake! [1] But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. [2] And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. They have been in the church for a long long time. If they are doing something that doesn't line up with scripture you better ask God to find out what is going on and I'll guarantee to you if you bring this to your pastor he will tell you to leave. The early church was warned many times and Jesus warned the churches, so this is nothing new.
Hello Raul. Welcome to ‘Trying to Understand Christian Feast Days untethered from the Liturgical Calendar’. The Liturgical Calendar is a virtual pilgrimage the Church has used to inform the laity… it is used to create a lifecycle for the parish. There are 4 feast days that are set - all of them have fast periods leading up to the feast day. Christmas is one of the four set days on the liturgical calendar. Western Christmas aka New Calendar - is December 25th - which you have mentioned. However, in Eastern Churches - the Nativity is observed on January 7th - this is also known as ‘Old Calendar’. The Liturgical Calendar for Eastern Orthodox - is determined by when Pascha occurs. Pascha or Easter - has several criterion to determine when it happens. It floats… and isn’t set like Christmas. Jewish Pascha must have been observed… and the lunar cycle has to be in a certain stage. The Roman Church and her children - have a different criterion to set their Easter. This year, the West will celebrate Easter about 5 weeks earlier than the Eastern Orthodox. Pascha, we use the same word as the Jews, happens in May - May 3rd is ‘Good Friday’ … and Pascha or Easter is May 5th. To the best of my limited understanding, the Church has never declared ‘December 25th is the actual date Christ was born’. Rather. We say that December 25th is the set feast day where we commemorate the birth of Christ. And just to make it a bet more confusing - the old calendar trails the new calendar - by 13 days… so. Even though we are saying January 7… it is 25 December. Whether a parish runs in New or Old Calendars - both are blessed … and Pascha is celebrated on the same day for Eastern Orthodox…. Hope this helps. Lovingly, Lee.
To realmccoy from Raul First of all, sir: Are you a member of a church of UPCI? The info you sent me was a little bit confusing and I thank you, but I'll do some research. One more thing: Why celebrate something as important as Jesus' birth on a day the majority of believers don't know about? They are being partakers of something they ought not to.
To mousejackson from Raul Do you celebrate Christmas as Jesus' birth? Also, are you a member of a UPCI church? If you have some info pertaining to this, I would appreciate it very much. Thanks.

Interestingly, three of the 5 points of Calvinism is wholeheartedly at the core of UPCI / Oneness theology. And… Calvinism is drawn from the worst parts of the earliest teachings of Saint Augustine - which he later amended / corrected in his later years. Saint Augustine’s theology and its juridical bent greatly influenced and shaped Roman theology and that special flavoring is in Rome’s children.

No.
