What makes this calendar all the more unusual is the fact that, from the perspective of those who recognize a continuously repeating weekly cycle, lunar sabbatarians observe the weekly sabbath on different days of the week each month. If you aren’t sufficiently confused by this point, then I will point out that there are different sects of lunar sabbatarians, some of whom believe the weekly sabbath should fall on the 7th, 14th, 21st and 28th days of the month. I will provide a sample calendar later in this study in order to better acquaint you with what a lunar sabbatarian calendar looks like.

When I first heard of this doctrine, I could not believe that anyone would be so gullible as to fall for such an obvious fallacy. And yet, it appears that this doctrine is beginning to gain some ground and more websites and more people are popping up in defense of this doctrine. The truth of the seriousness of this issue hit home when a man whom I had brought to the faith began to accept this doctrine and eventually accused me of being "blind" and "grieving the Ruach (spirit)" because I would not accept this interpretation of Scripture. Even though I presented substantial evidence to show that lunar sabbaths cannot be Scriptural, he did not accept my answers, in spite of not offering reasonable responses to the objections which I raised. I realized then that this issue could no longer be ignored, which explains the reason why I am writing this article.

I realize many people have written extensive articles refuting this doctrine. However, lunar sabbatarians tend to jump from one subject to another so quickly that it is difficult to get a word in. We need to have at our disposal a "Lunar Sabbath Emergency Kit" in order to quickly go down the list and answer their claims. Our answers must be brief and to the point if we truly wish to defend our faith. Therefore, while I would like to persuade lunar sabbatarians that their beliefs are in error—I feel it is best if I direct my research to those who have not yet heard of and/or know very little about this doctrine. This presentation therefore could become a useful tool to give short direct answers to the lunar sabbath doctrines. It does not cover all the issues, only what I believe to be "core" issues—issues which can easily and directly be addressed.
