  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Ever been a part of a Jewish observance?

I'm not suggesting we don't celebrate it! I do celebrate it, and I believe I am just as entitled to celebrate His second coming!

Why don't you go ahead and explain to us all about his second coming so we can join with you in celebrating something that hasn't happened yet and probably will be quite different than any of us imagine...

Why should I not post, if you are going to post something unscriptural and try and influence people why shouldn't I post and tell them just how unscriptural it really is...

Amen
I said I am not a Jew but a gentile who has found Christ... he said Christ will not return until all the Christians accept that they are Jews...
You're right, you're not a Jew in the natural. Be we are one spiritually. We have been graphed in.
I dont agree with what he said either.

Rom 11
17And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert grafted in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;

18Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee. 19Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.

The down side is that people get tangled up in the law again.

.
It is our Jewish roots. its history. If thats true then maybe we better not read Chirstian history or even the old Testament ,there is alot of "law" in it. See what I mean? Just learning about it doesnt get us tangled up in it.

.. you consider yourself Word of Faith?

These were Feasts to point to the Lord the Messiah who was to come. all the Feasst are n The Bible. To be Word Of Faith does not mean we cant be intesrest in what they mean concerning Jesus , the Messiah ,the saviour

Good! and I am giving him an honest answer too, it is not scriptural for us to be observing the Jewish feasts...

Let me just say this once... these things were a sign pointing to Jesus, Jesus has come, we don't need to be hanging onto the sign anymore, we have Jesus...

Stop looking at the signs and look to Jesus...

Hi there!
I hope I am not offending you by posting here. I respect your right to your opinions and I hope you will see the following simply as a look through Scripture. If I offend, please forgive me. that is not my intention.

So, you were wondering where in the NT we even see these festivals after Jesus rose from the dead. Well...

Well in Acts 2 we see the followers of Jesus meeting in the Temple to celebrate the feast of Pentecost (which is the Biblical Holy Day Shavuot as appointed in in Leviticus 23:15-22, Exodus 34:22; Numbers 28:26-31; Deuteronomy 16:9, 10)
So that's the first biblical feast observed after Jesus ascended to Heaven.

Acts 27:9 mentions Yom Kippur/Day of Atonement which is a holy day of fasting (actually, it's the only fast appointed by God and was always observed by faithful Jews)

KJV said:
[FONT=Arial, Geneva, Helvetica]27:9[/FONT][FONT=Arial, Geneva, Helvetica]Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast F51 was now already past, Paul admonished them,[/FONT]
That footnote points to this note:
[FONT=Arial, Geneva, Helvetica]F51: the fast: the fast was on the tenth day of the seventh month [/FONT]
And this proves that it was Yom Kippur because Adonai told His people:

And we see Paul in Acts 18
There are certain feasts / holy days that require that if you can, you observe in Jerusalem. Those feasts are called the pilgrimage festivals and they are:
Passover
Pentecost
Tabernacles

So Paul was observing one of these festivals.



Hope that helped answer your question!

Be blessed, everyone.

So we can't celebrate Christmas either? Or the Resurrection??

Is Christmas or Reserection Sunday under the law?

You can celebrate every day, just not by exercising the law of the OT.

Wasn't that simple?

God doesn't want you execising OT law with them.

You can hang with them 24-7 and eat with them as long as you are not practicing OT law.

So just pop that though back out of your head because it wasn't from God.

This does not mean we are to practice the legalistic feasts of the OT. Jesus is the feast!

Communion was for the saved Jew and the Gentile. OT feast are not to be practiced by either.

It is our Jewish roots. its history. If thats true then maybe we better not read Chirstian history or even the old Testament ,there is alot of "law" in it. See what I mean? Just learning about it doesnt get us tangled up in it.

The root of the Word is in me, not the other way around. Before the Jews Jesus was. You are mischaracterising my statment and seem to be determined to put words in my mouth.


You have not answered any of my questions, only off point criticism.

Jesus is the feast.


These were Feasts to point to the Lord the Messiah who was to come. all the Feasst are n The Bible. To be Word Of Faith does not mean we cant be intesrest in what they mean concerning Jesus , the Messiah ,the saviour

I don't care if you're interested or study the feasts, but God doesn't want us to practice them. See what I mean?

Firstly Jesus didn't tell them to observe anything, he told them to wait in the upper room... all of these men and women were Jews and i am sure they were practising what they knew...


The fast mentioned in Acts 27:9 could be referring to anything, it didn't mean they were fasting... Paul was trying to get to Jerusalem for the fast (day of Aonement) this verse said it was past maybe it just means that he was already late...

Maybe they had a forced fast because of the wind and high seas, maybe the rest of the crew were fasting and not Paul... it could mean anything...


Not necessarily it again could mean anything... 1859. eJorth/ heorte, heh-or-tay´; of uncertain affinity; a festival: — feast, holyday.
[/B]Hope that helped answer your question!

Be blessed, everyone.

You haven't offended my, neither do you understand what the body and blood of Jesus has done for you. Jesus is the feast! Show me anywhere in the NT where we are instructed to keep OT feasts or where Jesus or any Christian did.
