At the risk of starting a debate (I hope not!!), do you think it is okay for a Christian to follow the laws of the OT...eating clean, observing the feasts, etc.?

Yes. Eating clean, observing the Sabbath, keeping the feast are all things Yeshua did and the apostles did after His resurrection also. I will add that by doing any of them will not save anyone. And if things go like always this just may end up like most all the other threads like this in an hot debate.

Eeek. Don't want a debate. Just want other Christian opinions on this. :emot-pray:

There is more to the OT law than the dietary commandments and festivals.

When you love God with all of your hear, soul and strength, you are following OT law. When you honor your parents you are following OT law. So, from that perspective, the answer would be yes.

You are correct. That is why I put "etc." :emot-pray:

Sure, if a Christian wants to eat kosher - why not? If a Christian wants to celebrate the feasts, why not? If a Christian believes a thief should have to repay three times (I think that's the number) what was stolen, why not?

I take "OK" as the key word. Is it OK? Why not? Is it required? Go with what the apostles said.

There is no harm in following the Torah as a guideline.

I voted yes. :emot-pray: The Lord put alot of that in to place to better our lives. Like not eating certain things, which could cause health problems and such. I would love to observe actual Jewish traditions like the Passover Meal. :emot-hug: I think it would be an eye opening experience!!! :emot-hug:

Thanks for all your responses. I just want to make sure I am not committing a sin. I do understand these laws do not offer salvation. Obviously you can tell I'm being pulled in the messianic direction. I believe what they tell me but I would like outside opinions. God bless. :emot-pray:

I am trying to obey God.

What's sad is that the world isn't teaching how to worship him, we have no form of Government in place to guide us in exactly how to do it.

Schools don't teach us, my parents never taught me.

So I have to learn on my own and try and educate my children the best why I know. But...

I 'am not a very smart women as you will see by all my type0's and I'm easliy lead by others.

For example I just learned that Christmas and Ester are an abomination to God. I just learned that the for myself researching the origans on the internet.

I used three resorces the internet, the Old Testament and the New Testament

I always celibrated these holidays thinking it was of God.

and I know the Churches with the exception of a few think it's okay. But WOW it's not.

Mark 7:8 Says " You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on the the traditions of men."

Mark 7:9 " And he said to them;"You have a fine way of setting aside the commands of God in order to observe your own traditions."

We don't even keep the 10 commandments because other people say Jesus took care of it, but every thing "I" read in the bible shows take he took care of the punishment and repeatly tell us to follow them.

Most churches now make Jesus look like a push over.

As to mock him and say

" Oh we don't have to pay much attention to his commands and he okay with us celibrating other pagin traditions instead of his holy days, he understands."

There are things in the Old Testament that we no longer have to continue true. BUT...

THE 10 COMMANDMENTS ARE STILL IMPORTANT TO GOD

So Yes I think the WHOLE bible should be treated as the most important thing in your life.

(Sorry for the typeo's)

    • Exhortation - October 24, 2024

      Albert Finch posted a blog entry in Albert Finch Ministry,

      You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • The Simchat Torah War -- Is this a Water Breaking Moment of Revival?

      George posted a topic in Biblical Topics,

      George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
