Sstinsonmari said in the quote below; Please read Genesis 1t speaks of a 1st, 2nd and 3rd day of creation week. A day is a unit of measurement, which was defined in Genesis 1, as being an evening and a morning. Sin had not occurred at that time. So, time was measured prior to the entry of sin, according to the Bible. [. . . time was not measure until after sin. ]

Abide and sin not ? 1 John 3:6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.

While not related to figuring out the actual birth date, Jesus did a sermon for this special season, as if he realized how important this season would be when it comes to family. Sadly we miss this because part of the story is in one chapter and the rest in the next chapter. The I AM statements of Jesus and their signs [miracles] are all related to a temple feast. We have 3 for Passover, 3 for the Feast of Tabernacles, and one for the only Temple holiday to become a Biblical holiday because of Jesus and the New Testament. Please read as one reading John 10: 22 - 11:54. As characteristic Jesus gives a special message to those who's family has an empty seat this season.

Jazz as a form of music has developed over a period of 100+ years. In its present form it has many styles of music. The result is that some "experts" define the word in different ways. From this perspective, some forms of jazz music may be played in SDA congregations and performed by SDA choirs. In addition, Seventh-day Adventists worship in many nations of this world. In some countries, the typical music found in a SDA congregation may be considered to be a form of jazz by people in other places. My personal position is: God asks us to consider our personal relationship with God and God does not ask us to pass judgment on the fine points of how another person worships. The basic points may be found in Scripture. We do not have animal sacrifices today. But, Scripture leaves a lot up to the individual congregations to decide.
