There are several different dates among those that celebrate the biblical feasts. Whichever dates faith has compelled us to keep, those we should keep. But please, let us not tear down others for having dates that are contrary to our own. We are closer to the end then we are to the beginning. The enemy will be up to his typical schemes of using our differences to try and divide us. But let us focus on what we have in common. We are celebrating the biblical feasts. That should make us rejoice and shout for joy. Praise Him! We are all of one sheepfold and we must love one another. This is how the world will know that we are truly His disciples. If we love one another.
