Critical-Thinking Workbench

Don't just accept — examine. Use these prompts as you work through each row.

1. Test the premise

  1. Where exactly does Scripture command this rule, vs. where is it inferred?
  2. Is the cited verse a description, a command, or a poetic reference?
  3. Could the verse fit more than one calendar model? Why pick this one?

2. Steel-man each calendar

  1. What is the strongest case for Enoch / Zadok / Hillel?
  2. Which evidence does each system explain better than the others?
  3. What anomaly forced its inventors to choose that structure?

3. Stress-test the Scriptural model

  1. What is the hardest verse against the lunisolar 8/15/22/29 pattern?
  2. How are the “extra” days (30th + new moon) handled in the weekly cycle?
  3. Does Exodus 16 manna timing actually require this pattern, or merely allow it?

4. Watch your reasoning

  • Am I quoting a verse, or quoting a teacher who quoted a verse?
  • Am I confusing “most popular” with “most biblical”?
  • Am I confusing “feels obvious” with “textually proven”?
