Judaism
Christianity has its roots in Judaism. We drink from the same well the Patriarchs dug. Judaic Christianity is not about sharing the same culture, customs, traditions and rituals; it is about the belief in the same God and keeping His commands. And for Christians that would also include the belief in the Messiah Yahshua.
What are your thoughts about these scriptures below? If Messianic and Orthodox Jews can not justify keeping the Holidays, in light of what is written, then perhaps they shouldn't.
Psalm 40:6
Sacrifice and offering you did not desire— but a body you have prepared for me — burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not require.
Psalm 51:16
You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it; you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings.
Proverbs 21:3
To do what is right and just is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice.
Isaiah 1:11
“The multitude of your sacrifices— what are they to me?” says the LORD. “I have more than enough of burnt offerings, of rams and the fat of fattened animals; I have no pleasure in the blood of bulls and lambs and goats.
Isaiah 1:14
Your New Moon feasts and your appointed festivals I hate with all my being. They have become a burden to me; I am weary of bearing them.
Zephaniah 3:18
“I will remove from you all who mourn over the loss of your appointed festivals, which is a burden and reproach for you.
Lamentations 2:6
He has laid waste his dwelling like a garden; he has destroyed his place of meeting. The LORD has made Zion forget her appointed festivals and her Sabbaths; in his fierce anger he has spurned both king and priest.
Hosea 2:11
I will stop all her celebrations: her yearly festivals, her New Moons, her Sabbath days—all her appointed festivals.
Amos 5:21
“I hate, I despise your religious festivals; your assemblies are a stench to me.
