God's Holy Days?

Question

Does anyone else on here keep God's Holy Days? This past Saturday was Feast of Trumpets. Next Monday is Day of Atoinment and Oct. 7-13 is the Feast of Tabernacles. All of these Holy Days as well as others are all mentioned in Levitcus 23 as well as many other parts of the Bible.

I just want to say that I am Christian & believe in Jesus Christ, but I also keep these Holy Days. I don't think that they are outdated at all. Jesus kept these Holy Days. These Holy Days are also mentioned in the New Testement and not strickly in the Old Testement.

Answer 1

Yes. Both observant Jewish people and Messianic Jewish people observe God's Holy Days. There is absolutely nothing wrong with Christians observing them as well if they like because these days are extremely significant. God established these Holy Days and expected His People to acknowledge them for a reason.

In fact, many Bible scholars believe the Holy Days are a prophetic example of what is happening regarding end-time prophecy, preceding the Coming of Messiah.

I love the Day of Atonement. That is the time when observant Jews examine their hearts and determine to do better in serving God. But what I like best about being a Believer in Messiah Yeshua is that everyday is a Day of Atonement, since He became the Perfect Sacrificial Lamb. If I fall short of God's Glory and expected behavior for me, I can trust God that the Perfect Lamb He provided 2000 years ago is sufficient so that when the Angel of Death passes over my doorstep, I will have no fear. The doorposts of my heart are protected by the sacrifice made by That Lamb.

Praise be to the G-o-d of Israel. He is the Everlasting One..the All Sufficient One!

Answer 2

The only days Christ said to keep in Memorial is a wedding anniversary and Niacin 14. Only one religion does that. Actually, the Bible doesn't say Niacin 14, but if you follow the teachings of Christ, than you will know what happened on that day.

As for any other supposed holy days, the Apostle Paul said that he felt that he had worked for nothing, because Christians had returned to the rituals and observances of men. They were falling away from the teachings of Christ, even back than. If you like to celebrate birthdays, remember to use the example of the Bible in the type of gift you give. The severed head of one of God's followers, such as John the Baptist.

Answer 3

I have just recently begun observing God's holy days- I have finally broken free from the lie that those things have passed and are no longer valid or that they are "Jewish" We are grafted in, adopted heirs and God's perfect instruction and His feasts are gifts to bless us, not keep us under oppression.
Because there is no local Messianic body and we don't really know anyone who keeps these feasts we are struggling with exactly HOW to observe them, but at the very least we are learning why we observe them and when they are.

Answer 5

I was raised by a Jewish father and Christian grandparents. When I was with my father I kept those days holy. Now I follow my own faith and keep my own holy days. Most of them are based on the Christian, Jewish and Roman calendars so I will be fasting and atoning on Yom Kippur but I do not keep all the holy days or the sabbath or keep kosher.

Answer 6

Actually, the Apostle Paul said that Christians did not need to keep the Jewish holidays.

Some Christians still do, however, since the observance of Mosaic holidays is optional under the New Testament. My friend at work who is Jewish by birth, but Christian by religion, often follows the Jewish holidays.

Answer 7

I can't speak for anyone else, but I do.
But then I am neither Jew or Christian. I am a Hebrew as Abraham was.

But its nice to see a Christian learn the truth and follow God's holy days.
L'Shana Tova!

Answer 8

my understanding is that this is the part of the law that Jesus fulfilled and that is why they are no longer celebrated by the main body of the christian chuch, however they do celebrate christmas which is a pagan holiday of the winter solstice so why not the old holy days.

Answer 9

Old Covenant = Over and done. No more.

New Covenant = Totally different and better deal than the old. New observances and laws, subject only to the God given authority of the church.

Rely on the old ... cursed.

Rely on the new ... blessed.

No in-between.

New is better.

Answer 10

I have a bit of a problem with your premise -- I don't think that they are "God's Holy Days".. They were holy days that were conferred upon His people, the Israelites under the terms of the Mosaic (law) covenant.

I'm not a Jew, and I'm not under the covenant of law; so no, I do not keep these holy days.
