Hi – I have been going through this topic in my mind for almost a year now and I just can’t seem to get a response that truly makes sense to me supporting the current Christian Sunday stuff. I can agree that Constantine, while perhaps didn’t try to change the Sabbath, he did set the edict and one is left wondering if this could be a simple trick of the devil to set the church off just a little. But also correct there were many others before that were pushing a separate day to celebrate than the Jews – Ignatious is a perfect example – from his writings I find a vile hatred of Jews and feel as if his desire to push a Sunday instead of Sabbath was nothing more than racism. I think the context of these early church aspirations should absolutely be taken and viewed as if the words from them were fruit from a tree and is that fruit good or bad? Lastly for now – I get that the laws of Moses were fulfilled by Jesus so they need not be followed, but the Commandments of God? Likewise – I believe that the blood of Jesus covers us for sin (not following the commandments), but I also believe that we must repent, and does repenting also include changing our behavior – and not changing our behavior a big problem? To compare – if we decide to take another god before GOD are we not sinning? and if we CONTINUE to do this might that be a huge problem for entry into heaven. i get there is a lot of grey area in this dispute, but frankly I don’t see much actual serious discussion. This one here is awesome – but overall on the internet and at church this is hardly if ever even discussed. In a way it is almost like Santa Claus to me – something that has been engrained into the mind of society as being cute, not harmful, and good to follow, but holy cow – what are the unintended implications of lying to your children about the meaning of Christmas, or having them believe in a false character that pushes materialism, or a character that uses magic to accomplish things, I could go on, but I will leave with sending you all here a blessing and I hope to receive really good feedback as I am truly trying to find the truth here.

I am the Community Director of Sahara West, the apartment community directly behind your church. You have a painting project going on and your painters have created a huge mess on our property that needs to be cleaned. – there is paint that has run off onto our parking lot. They were very rude and uncooperative when we spoke to them. Contact me to make arrangements to have this taken care of. I do not want to pursue this further so please correct the situation.
