Response » Luni-solar: You Ask, We Answer » Objections of  former WLC  Team Members


  Article Title
1 The Luni-solar advocates falsely claim that Hillel II changed the Rabbinical calendar to include the unbroken weekly cycle. There is no historical evidence for such a change at that time.
2 The Luni-solar advocates rely on the false claim that there was a period of Jewish history when the timing of the Sabbath was forgotten.
3 The entire edifice of the moon-sabbath argument depends on accepting the idea that the Sabbath originated in observing the moon.
4 Lunar Sabbath proponents consistently attack the Bible as special revelation and the weekly cycle as maintained by Christian tradition.
5 The KJV is actually biased towards the Luni-solar calendar, since it follows traditional Jewish interpretation by translating chodesh as new moon. The word really just means the first of the month.
6 The Luni-solar advocates ignore the fact that the unbroken weekly cycle is attested in Judaism by archaeological finds as early as the seventh century before Christ.
7 The Luni-solar advocates assume that the moon-Sabbath was observed in Judaism at the time of Christ, and have a complicated system of exegesis to prove this.
8 There is no relevant luni-solar calendar in existence that calculates the Sabbath by the phases of the moon, not in Rabbinical Judaism, not in Karaite Judaism, not in Samaritanism.
9 You assume wrongly that the luni-solar calendar implies that the weekly Sabbath must be calculated by the phases of the moon.
10 You assume wrongly that the luni-solar calendar is the original Bible calendar.
11 You wrongly assume that all holy days are meant when the word mo'ed is used. This ignores how the word is used in the majority of texts.
12 You ignore Bible evidence against your teaching.
