You assume wrongly that the luni-solar calendar implies that the weekly Sabbath must be calculated by the phases of the moon.

Objection:  The Luni-Solar advocates assume wrongly that the luni-solar calendar implies that the weekly Sabbath must be calculated by the phases of the moon.

Rebuttal: Another accusation (without any offered evidence) that we are doing something outside of Scripture.  See the evidence we have provided in the other objections posed and explain how the moon is NOT responsible for regulating the Sabbath.  We are following the direct instructions found in Isaiah 28:9-10.  We are taking a single thread, a single thought, the word "mo'edim" as it applies to the calendar of YHVH, and following it through Scripture.  And the evidence is that the moon regulates the Sabbath.  If it is regulated by the sun, please show your Scriptural evidence.  If it is simply by counting by seven, please show your starting point (so we know you have not lost your point of reference), and also please show the command that the Sabbaths would occur on an uninterrupted cycle of seven days.

We will save you some time.  There is no evidence that says that the Sabbath is every seventh day in succession.  All Scripture says is that the Sabbath is the seventh day of the week.  Now, you nay-sayers must prove that the week in Scripture is the pagan/papal week that you presently observe, contrary to Genesis 1:14, Psalm 104:19 and Leviticus 23:1-3.
