I was a young man when I realized that there was something amiss about traditional holidays. I never had a Christmas tree, once I was in my own home; but I would still visit my family as they gathered on those holidays.
It took some time; but eventually I stopped taking part in those holidays altogether. However, the scales were still on my eyes; and I had not yet recognized the Moedim. I went church hopping for many years, looking for truth, but coming up short. It seems that all that I had, was our heavenly Father, Yahshua, the Ruach, the scripture, and the zeal and conviction that the Father had given to me.
Eventually the scales came off my eyes regarding Pesach. I realized that this Moed was to be kept forever. I started celebrating the best I could, without support of fellowship.
As I continued my studies: I realized that there were other Moedim that were to be kept forever.
I tried to convey this to everyone, I knew, who had a love for YHWH. I continuously met resistance; and my words seemed to fall on deaf ears, even of those who were closest to me in my life.
It boggles my mind that anyone, who loves the Father, would completely ignore his appointments; in favor of traditions which, I believe, are displeasing in his eyes.
To this day, I have not shared forward motion on the subject of the Moedim, with anyone whom the father had not already revealed the importance of the Moedim.
Has anyone here found an effective approach to bring this understanding to our brothers and sisters who still can't see?
If not, can anyone here give testimony as to how someone helped him, or her, to come to this truth?
