Hi Jacob....

Good post.

Jesus fulfilled the spring feasts exactly to the day.

He will also fulfill the fall feasts exactly to the day.

I believe we should ALL pay more attention to these feasts, God's appointed times.

Once again, good post.

From Jim Wilbur: Jacob, I am not in any way saying this about your question, it is a good and proper question, without questions and answers we do not learn.

Colossians 2: 8-22 'See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the world, rather than according to Christ. For in Christ all the fullness of Deity lives in bodily form, and in Christ, a person has been made complete, and He is the head over all rule and authority, and in Christ your were (spiritually) circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, in the removal of the body of the (sinful fleshly mind) by the circumcision of Christ; having been buried with Christ in baptism, in which you were also raised up with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead. Ephesians 2: 6 present tense  When you were dead in your transgressions, sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you alive with Christ, having forgiven us all our sin, having canceled out the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us, which was hostile to us, (which is why Jesus the perfect One, who was sinless, had to come, and would pay the penalty we deserved and owed to God for sin, we could not do this ourselves because we are not without spot or blemish as long as we endure this sinful fleshly mind and body, thus believing in  Him, the spotless Lamb of God we are saved into Him.)

God has taken the certificate of debt owed to Him, having nailed it to the cross of Christ. When Christ had disarmed the rulers and authorities, He made a public display of them, having triumphed over them through Christ.

Therefore, no one is to act as your judge in regard to food or drink or in respect to a festival a new moon or a Sabbath day, things which are a mere shadow of what is to come, but the substance belongs to Christ. Let no one keep defrauding you of  your prize by delighting self-abasement and the worship of angels, taking their stand on visions they have seen, inflated without cause by their (sinful) fleshly mind, and not holding to the head, from whom the entire body, being supplied and held together by joints and ligaments, grows with a grown which is from God, (and not by mans sinful fleshly works, which will not be accepted by God.' Only belief and faith in God the Father and His Son, Messiah, the Lord Jesus Christ will we be saved.)

ll just answer the question because the small font you used I cannot read without straining my already tired eyes! LOL

 

NO! The church practicing Jewish traditions is going backwards .. 

. The church should REJECT   the ceremonial traditions of the unredeemed judaism. 

"To put it bluntly, Christianity originates in the rejection of Jewish cultic tradition. For Paul, the Rubicon was circumcision. By clearly rejecting the necessity of circumcision, the new faith declared its difference. What if evangelicals decided to get back in touch with their Jewish roots by using circumcision as a badge of belonging?

The root complication is that Christianity has a necessarily ambiguous relationship with Judaism. Judaism is the parent-tradition that must be both affirmed and rejected. Philosemitic evangelicals attempt to evade this tension, by exaggerating Christianity's affinity with Judaism."

Of course, it is the choice of every believer to either celebrate or not to celebrate these days.  Life is all about choices. We can either ignore these days or celebrate these days.  We should not judge our brother or sister if he or she chooses not to.  We are saved by grace through Yeshua, not through observance of the commandments.  However, if we love the LORD we will want to do as He commands in scripture.

Please know that I do not want to put a yoke upon anyone. For trying to place commands for salvation on anyone is a burden that they cannot bear. However please consider this as a matter not of salvation but of being made holy by God, being set apart and sanctified for His use.
 
If the Spring feasts (Passover, Unleavened Bread, Firstfruits and Pentecost) have been fulfilled in the first coming of Christ and the Fall feasts (Trumpets, Atonement and Tabernacles) point to His return AND if the feasts were to be abandoned after His first coming... why did God appoint the Fall feasts at all? If it was good to observe the Spring feasts up until the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, then it would seem good to observe the Fall feasts up until His return.
 
I think of the moedim as dress rehearsals as though they were for some magnificent once in a lifetime set of performances that were to take place. At least the first 2 or 3 moedim have taken place. We observe their occurrence by looking back at the great performance of Yeshua on that certain Passover and Firstfruits when He died and was resurrected. But do we now simply forget what happened and abandon the rest of the appointments as well? If Passover were a musical recital, we might continue year after year reminding ourselves of that perfect performance by singing the songs we heard there. However, there are more recitals to come. Do we stop the dress rehearsals for those future events now that the first one has passed?
 
I personally believe we will observe them all throughout the Millennial Reign as well.
 
Blessings to all.

Perhaps Paul’s commitment toward the Holy Days could best be summed up in a quote from Acts 18:21: “I must by all means keep this coming feast in Jerusalem.”

Some question whether this verse is valid because it is not found in some texts. (Could the omission be because it offers such strong support for the validity of Holy Days?)

However, no one questions the validity of Acts 20:16, which mentions Paul’s determination to be in Jerusalem for Pentecost. He had intended to be there for Passover and the Days of Unleavened Bread, but circumstances required him to keep them locally (Acts 20:1-6). That made him even more determined to be in Jerusalem for the next Holy Day—the Day of Pentecost.

The Expositor’s Bible Commentary candidly admits, “Having been unable to get to Jerusalem for Passover, Paul remained at Philippi to celebrate it and the week-long Feast of Unleavened Bread” (Vol. 9, p. 507).

The Feasts of the Lord which He has given us all are a treasure trove of learning by doing, a hands on approach if you will of what He desires to teach us. Why would I speak in derogatory tones concerning something instituted by God all the while extolling the traditions of man. Jesus warned us of such religious surrogates.

Please do not quote Collosians or other such against false divine worship passages and the against false feast days passages and the against false sabbath passages of the pagans.

The apostles NEVER would have put down God's Feast Days.

The famous 'food law - sabbath'  passage has worn thin. This post is about the Feast Days of Yahweh, not some mystic pagan nonsense that some tried to mingle with Christianity...

Read scriptures in context, and with careful humility quote them.
