Some denominations still do. Joel Send a noteboard - 01/10/2010 03:28:48 PM
or I'm sure I remember reading that. Hopefully I didn't just imagine it:P

Seventh Day Adventists being the ones with which I'm most familiar, but then, they were one of the products of the second Great Awakening. ;) And, according to Wikipedia, the 12th largest religion on Earth and 6th largest "internationally active" one (whatever that means. ) Technically, though most Christians don't know it, the Sabbath didn't move just because of the Resurrection. Paul and other NT writers are generally felt to refer to Sunday as "the Lords Day, " because that's when Christ rose, but the Sabbath is the Sabbath forever. Heck, look at a calendar; what's the seventh day of the week? Not that it matters much in terms of Christian doctrine; we're supposed to honor every day as the Sabbath in Christ. Though a lot of us don't do that either. :[

Yeah, the last one is hard. - 01/10/2010 11:03:46 AM 884 Views
Hah! Athiests 1 Religion 0! - 01/10/2010 11:14:36 AM 798 Views
Atheists 2! - 01/10/2010 11:54:42 AM 817 Views
Go team atheist! *NM* - 01/10/2010 12:00:07 PM 372 Views
I think that from this scientific experiment - 01/10/2010 12:08:22 PM 1010 Views
I got it and I usually skipped the Great Awakening in my history classes - 01/10/2010 11:32:47 AM 838 Views
I think in history classes outside the US the topic is omitted altogether. *NM* - 01/10/2010 11:36:41 AM 374 Views
I'm fairly sure it isn't seen as a must know in the British educational system *NM* - 01/10/2010 11:42:07 AM 383 Views
Quite. And certainly not in New Zealand. *NM* - 01/10/2010 11:55:27 AM 399 Views
I'm sure you're right, but it shouldn't be, because the formative influence was/is huge. - 01/10/2010 01:15:09 PM 1047 Views
Well, in university level American history courses, I'm sure it's mentioned. - 01/10/2010 01:20:56 PM 955 Views
I think when a country becomes a world power you need to cover more of its past. - 01/10/2010 02:00:54 PM 959 Views
Depends on how much that past mingles with yours. - 01/10/2010 02:08:35 PM 997 Views
Seems more like it depends on how the present mingles. - 01/10/2010 02:21:56 PM 909 Views
Well. Not so much. - 01/10/2010 02:28:55 PM 874 Views
I can see NZ taking that view, sure. - 01/10/2010 03:11:21 PM 997 Views
But more important, I would stay, is understanding your own country - 01/10/2010 02:34:22 PM 1077 Views
That last certainly seems to be NZ's point of view. *NM* - 01/10/2010 02:34:59 PM 438 Views
Either New Zealand is a head of the game - 01/10/2010 02:36:25 PM 815 Views
Always. Which country was it gave women the vote first? Hmmm? - 01/10/2010 02:38:39 PM 1002 Views
Quit ruining my sneering at New Zealand *NM* - 01/10/2010 02:39:59 PM 385 Views
Yeah, I worry about Oceania. - 01/10/2010 02:55:23 PM 910 Views
NZ and China have a good relationship. *NM* - 01/10/2010 02:56:39 PM 380 Views
There's little cause for them to argue at present. - 01/10/2010 03:15:18 PM 909 Views
Certainly. - 01/10/2010 02:48:50 PM 879 Views
The last one is probably the most Americocentric. - 01/10/2010 12:54:30 PM 1082 Views
Protestant Americocentric. - 01/10/2010 01:19:20 PM 907 Views
True. - 01/10/2010 01:32:58 PM 1132 Views
They're a bunch of fucking Calvinist heretics. - 01/10/2010 09:33:56 PM 890 Views
Which, historically, have produced a LOT of revolutionaries. - 01/10/2010 11:09:52 PM 1088 Views
15/15: One for our side! - 01/10/2010 01:05:11 PM 835 Views
I'd say it is the last 6 which are Americocentric - 01/10/2010 01:17:44 PM 835 Views
Ya'll get your share of Mormons, I believe. - 01/10/2010 01:37:40 PM 996 Views
I never even heard of mormons 'til I was 18-20. - 01/10/2010 01:46:04 PM 955 Views
Yes, but you live at the North Pole. - 01/10/2010 01:54:57 PM 983 Views
Even if they have to do it by baptising every graveyard in the UK? - 01/10/2010 02:47:40 PM 983 Views
Ya gotta do what ya gotta do. - 01/10/2010 03:19:24 PM 886 Views
It is jsut a general rule not to do it to the dead - 01/10/2010 03:24:51 PM 1004 Views
Right, you're supposed to be baptized FOR the dead. - 01/10/2010 03:31:50 PM 957 Views
