The following comic by Brother Botkin is a good illustration of what we see happening often these days. We find that in a lot of churches, the pastors have fallen into idolatry (creating a God in their own image) and have began to believe in circular reasoning (Yahweh's rules only apply to things they like). The following comic is a good example of circular reasoning. My goal as a pastor is to bring the Scriptures to elementary terms so everyone (including myself) can understand it. I find that pictures, comics, etc. help by providing a visual aid, so I appreciate what Brother Botkin has done by putting these comics together.
Comic was reprinted from Gates of Eden, P.O. Box 2257, East Peoria, IL 61611-0257. Write for a sample copy or for information about the Rev. Twistruth comic book.

The entire chapter of Leviticus 23 details each of the appointed times of Yahweh. We see many times in the New Testament that Yeshua and his disciples kept the feast as well as the apostles after Yeshua's death and resurrection continued to keep the Feast Days. The Hebrew words used in reference to the Feast days are Kadosh Mikrah which means Divine appointment. Think of it this way, Yahweh has set aside time that He wants to spend with you. You have an appointment with your creator. Will you be there?
