The First Commandment: Difference between revisions

God’s promise to judge other gods through the Passover did not only apply to the time of the Exodus. In any age, whenever people realized the Passover and kept it, all the other gods were destroyed.

This repeated over and over again.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=Ecclesiastes+3%3A15&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3|title=Ecclesiastes 3:15|quote=}}</ref><br>Until the Passover was celebrated in the days of Hezekiah and Josiah, the people kept the idols and worshiped them. Likewise, even though we believe in God today, if we do not keep the Passover, we come to serve other gods unknowingly. That is why the churches that do not keep the Passover observe Sunday worship, the holy day of the sun god, and Christmas, the birthday of the sun god.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://english.watv.org/truth/qna/content.asp?idx=1524&page=6 |title=Q.
