I actually don't think you're even listening or willing to comprehend another point of view- and only you know why that is. You bring up feasts that in Jewish theology as well as Christian only pertain to Israel and somehow conclude that they were "thrown out"- which is just poor reasoning. That's like saying that because a male doesn't follow the laws pertaining specifically to women he must have "thrown out" the laws pertaining to women- which would obviously not be the case. The real problem with your POV is that your POV makes the Jews and the Christians wrong on a point they both agree upon. This means that millions of people for three thousand years are clueless on the Torah but the modern MJ sitting in his home with Google (usually separated from the community of God as well) and has worked it all out where thousands of Hebrew speaking scholars have got it wrong since Moses. It also implies that God has abandoned His people to the whims of individual opinion and hasn't led them since their initial calling. That would be pretty arrogant, right? Then why engage in it?
As for my knowledge of church stuff- I am a qualified, credentialed degree holding pastor and teacher and you're not listening to what's being written. I know my Church stuff. Every old Church Catechism has the decalogue- and every commentary I can think of off of the top of my head (and that's quite a few) on those catechisms state that all the laws connect to the others- so all 613 laws are in some way connected to the 10. Yeshua concurs. Teaching the 10 instructs us to look to the other 603. Now, if people get that wrong, that's their problem- they should be properly taught. I could bury you in proofs on this but I doubt you'd really consider it- which is why I wouldn't waste my time. I'm saying to you that you should re-check the primary sources, dig deep and stop the prejudice and hate against the Body of Yeshua. Have your opinions, but don't try to tell the rest of us what our opinions "should be" according to your own individual findings. We know what we believe, and we have a right to say that you are mis-representing us.
I don't hate the body. How dare you even suggest that!!! I have disdain for the institution that teaches falsehood. There are MANY believer's that attend "churches" that are spiritually dead churches. Those believer's, many of them, have vibrant deep walks with Gd. That does not mean that the instution they attend is not full of gross error. The two couldn't be more exclusively distinct in nature.
I have been a part of the body since the 1960's I have studied IN DEPTH Early church history and what you are selling is pure rubbish. You keep going on about the 613 mitzvots and how they can't apply to all (which is true), represent that as what I am saying all while COMPLETELY gloss over what I am actually saying. I've noticed that you seem to do this routinely with many posters on here. You keep trying to sell this silliness that Gd has 2 different laws... one for the Jews and another far less restrictive set for gentiles all while you completely ignore what scripture declares.
Here is what is truly insane with your line of thought. Messiah never, ever, not once even suggested that the Torah was done away with... Nor did he ever make even the most remote suggestion that the Torah was done away with for ANYONE because of his coming to earth. You attempt to argue that basically, gentiles are not subject to Torah well, because they aren't Jews. Yet Messiah never once even made the remotest of all suggestion that even remotely suggest such a wild assertion.
The claim "Gentiles are not bound by Torah" is by its very nature an extraordinary claim. Now it would not be an extraordinary claim if we are speaking of Gdless gentiles. But we are talking about BELIEVERS. As such, such a claim then DOES become an extraordinary claim thus does require extraordinary evidence to support said claim.
You will find no scriptural evidence that is extraordinary in its unmistakable clarity regarding this.
What I have been saying and you REPEATEDLY and you seem to intentionally twist, distort and misrepresent, is that the gentile church does NOT teach that we are to observe the feasts of Gd as they are recorded in scripture. I'm saying that the gentile church has replaced Passover with Easter. I'm saying that the "church" has replaced Sukkot with Pentecost and the vast majority of people in church have NO IDEA what Sukkot is. I'm saying the "church" doesn't observe ANY of the feast days as dictated in scripture in the manor or on the dates found in SCRIPTURE! Heck its almost never discussed, taught on or preached about and is certainly NOT observed.
Did Daniel observe all of the 613 that were required of him as an OT Jew? Of course not BECAUSE HE COULDN"T. He wasn't in the land and neither is the modern believer. Does that mean that willful ignorance is some how OK and that well it doesn't matter? Of course not.
Just who do you think Gd is talking about when he says in Rev COME OUT OF HER MY PEOPLE.... I got news for you, it is the INSTITUTION that rejects scripture that has sought (and done) the changing of seasons and the abandoning of those things which Gd declares should be done.
Get back to me when you can cite a single example where mainstream denominational churches at the institutional level are telling all if its priests and pastors that we are going to observe Passover meal on 14 Nissan and that it is the kick off (if you will) for the week of unleavened bread.
Instead we have Lent... which is to be found NO WHERE in scripture... the practice of not eating meat on "Good Friday" under the grossly mistaken idea that Messiah was crucified on a Friday which is IMPOSSIBLE. While it also never talks about the root of good Friday which is taken from the pagan holiday Blood Friday. Or that the roots of Easter go all the way back to Babylon.
Easter has replaced what ACTUALLY happened and why Yeshua was found in a "garden" doing the wave offering of First Fruits. I bet that less than 1 in 10 people who go to a mainstream denominational church even know this. Gd dearly loves the people (as do I ) But to suggest that everything is fine????? SHEER FOLLY
