The use of the word "Permenant"

[Blien]

In the Bible, especially during the Exodus, God uses the words Permanent & Forever, and several times other similar words. If He has commanded some things to be permanent, then why don't we do them as Christians??? For example the passover celebration was to be a permanent regulation:

Exodus 12:17 (New Living Translation)

17

Aren't those Jewish traditions or holidays?

As a gentile, am I required to keep them?

[Blien]

Why not? He says "Permanent" & "Forever"..

I don't think GOD said those words without knowing all along that Jesus was going to come and give us a new covenant. I think it's meant for Jews and Christians a like... what do you think? What about Jews who are Christians???

And what about

Numbers 15: 15-16

There shall be one [and the same] statute [both] for you [of the congregation] and for the stranger who is a temporary resident with you, a statute forever throughout your generations: as you are, so shall the stranger be before the Lord. One law and one ordinance shall be for you and for the stranger who sojourns with you.

no, i do not believe so, even though i believe it would be beneficial to know about them and to learn about them and to understand them..... I do not believe that keeping them or not keeping them would keep a person from the Kingdom anymore then circumcision or not being circumcised keeping a person from the Kingdom, even though i believe we need to know the whys, what fors and such about all these..... just like keeping the Old Testament right along with the New. for with out the Old Testament we really do not see a need for the new..... the old tells us about the fall of man, and the new tells us about mans redemption and restoration with God......

yes, know them, no, not a requirement for salvation.......

isnt there a passage in the bible (new testiment) that says what the gentiles are supposed to do ??? im not jewish and im not suppose to practice these things ,,, this is whats gets me ,,, ppl think that the laws of moses where written for us the gentiles ,,,

but moses took the law and read it to the jews ONLY

I CANT REMEMBER ANY WHERE THAT IT SAYS MOSES READ THE LAW TO THE GENTILES

i am not jewish ,,, so there fore i am not a part of any old testiment practices or traditions

i am a gentile ,,, i can eat anything (peters dream) if i say grace over it

jesus died to fulfill the law

paul sais look at the heathin(us) they do the law with no knowlege of it ,,, its written in there hearts

if my ancesters had been led outa egypt by moses (a german irish moses what a concept) then yes i would have to do that tradition

paul jumped peter's butt for trying to preach the law into christianity

circumsision is a JEWISH TRADITION

we are not bound to that

read romans ,,, love in christ arrow from god

correct me if i dont see it right

You are not required to accept the finished work of Messiah on the cross either.

Instead of looking for ways to avoid doing things that God clearly likes, why not just say, "Thank You!" Embrace His ideas! Enjoy His celebrations! Why is it important to say that people who call themselves Christians don't need to agree with God's written revelation as given to believers who lived before King Herod?

I wish the Christian community would go back to keeping the Feasts.

The more I learn about them, the more I discover how perfectly they teach the ways and the plans of the Lord.

For example, how many Gentiles know that when Jesus spoke in a loud voice, "If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink," (John 7:37) He most likely did so at the time the priests poured out water during one of the feasts? (Sorry the details are fuzzy in my memory on this one.)

Several Charismatic-type churches are beginning to value the celebration of the Feast of Tabernacles because of its connection to the return of the Lord.

If you are going to keep the law you had better keep the whole law.

So, I don't have to honor my mother and father and can commit adultery and murder and take God's name in vain?

After all, that's the law, too!

C'mon - we're just talking about some celebrations. What's so burdensome about celebrating?
