Let's Revolutionize Our Calendar! Five AWESOME New Ideas!

Is our calendar perfect? Few would argue that it is. The number of days in each month are uneven, its quarters are unequal, and it's impossible to determine when on which day any random date will fall.


But it turns out, there are many, many other - arguably better - ideas to reform it.

For instance, there's the 13-Moon Calendar. Inspired by the ancient Mayan Long-Count calendar, this proposal to reform the current Gregorian calendar re-names all the months, and introduces other innovations, including an extra month, which approximates many ancient calendars.

The Symmetry454 Calendar is a proposal by a Toronto university professor. It features four exactly equal quarters of 28-, 35- and 28-day months, making it easier to compare fiscal quarters. It's beautiful symmetry contrasts with the chaotic Gregorian.

The 13-month "Sol" Calendar updates an Old Idea - the 13-month year tied to the lunar cycle. This calendar's 13 months are all 28 days long, making it easy to remember the length of months. A leap year is added to the last month, December, and a new month, Sol, is added between June and July.

The New Earth Calendar is a bit of a hybrid - mixing the best elements of proposals like the Symmetry454 calendar and the 13 months of the Sol calendar.

Finally, the 30x11 Calendar is what its creator calls a "Gentle Update" of our current calendar. All of its months are 30 days long, except December, which rounds out the 365 or 366-day year with 35 or 36 days. It makes it incredibly easy to determine what day number each day on the calendar holds, and makes it easy to remember days.

All of these calendars - and MANY MORE - can be found EXCLUSIVELY on the new Abbott ePublishing eBook "2012: A New Calendar for a New Age" available on the Abbott ePublishing website. Or purchase RIGHT HERE via PayPal:

Reformation Sunday: Commemorating a FAILURE to Reform ENOUGH!

Want to know what's REALLY scary this Halloween? It was also Reformation Day in so-called "Reformed" Churches.

Why scary? Why "so-called?" Because the Reformation of the 16th Century failed to go far enough to pull Christianity out of Ancient and Dark Age thinking about God, and millions still believe in SCARY-wrong doctrines.

Sadly. almost 100% of Christians are unaware they are even infected
with these theological diseases.

Like the scary belief by "Reformer" Martin Luther that one can "sin boldly!" because we are secure in a one-time-only salvation event without the requirement of obedience to secure that Salvation (a Scary-unbiblical lesson, one that modern evangelicals learned so well, they think Jesus taught it. They're only 1550 years off!)

The Reformers failed to go back far enough and cure "Saint" Augustine's SCARY-false belief that God's commands can only be obeyed IF He gives us the ability to do so in advance ("Give what you command, then command what you will.") Scary-unbiblical, that is, because if we have a duty to obey, and will be judged according to our ACTS, we must be free to act by a just God, whom otherwise would be at fault for not obeying. And, good news, the Scriptures say we are free and morally able to obey.

And millions, thanks to so-called Reformer John Calvin, now believe in SCARY Calvinist doctrines like God damning souls to a scary eternal hell - BEFORE WE WERE EVEN BORN! Making a mockery of Jesus' call to Repent, Believe and Obey his words. He also oversaw a vile re-VAMPing of the Augustine-created Original Sin doctrine that pretends we are Zombies who are unable to do good, and ALWAYS are compelled to do evil (despite our Master Jesus's commands and clear trust in us that we CAN to do good - and should do so, continually.)

(Dare I mention the other scary belief by the One who often contradicted the Savior, by claiming good works are "filthy rags" in the eyes of God? No, but that Antichrist's mis-perception needs urgent Reformation, one day, too.)


So I hope those who attended Reformation Sunday services this weekend did so knowing that their Reformation is incomplete. To say the least, and repent quickly of these spooky, innovative doctrines.
