happy yom kippur jews!!?

Question

ok i'm christian but i celebrate yom kippur or am going to try because it is in the old testiment, AND because when jesus came down he said he isn't here to change the old laws,so i'm guessing that as christians we should celebrate it..

anyways, the sun sets at 7:16 pm... it's 6:59... i better hurry and eat!!

Answer 1

I'm Catholic, but I think it's great that you're thinking of other religions. Best wishes from me too!

Answer 2

Yom Kippur isn't a "happy" day or a time for celebration.

The day involves a 25-hour fast and intensive prayers of atonement (starting at sundown tonight).

I'm guessing you'll give it up by 8:00pm.

But there is no harm in Christian observing Jewish laws. Don't forget to stick to kosher food when you break your fast.

Answer 3

I can see that you are getting a range of comments from Christians quoting the bible at you to Jewish people correcting you on the meaning of Yom Kippur. I, on the other hand, am simply going to say Thank You.

Answer 4

"Yom Kippur is the Jewish day of repentance, considered to be the holiest and most solemn day of the year. Its central theme is atonement and reconciliation."
---------------------------------------------

Actually Jesus came to make a new covenant with humanity, they call the New Testament. The old covenant is considered no longer binding. An example being, Peter had a dream where he saw all the forbidden foods that Jews weren't supposed to eat. Then he heard a voice say, "go and eat." This was to signify that no longer were people bound to following the rigid laws of Judaism, but that of Jesus.

Answer 5

Dude, it wasn't a happy day. We were fasting and atoning for our sins for 25 hours. Next year come here and wish us all an easy fast or tell us you'll think of us on Yom Kippur.

The Ancient Seal Of The Messianic Church

The Seal Of The Messianic Church EVIDENCE THAT THE EARLIEST CHURCH IN EXISTANCE WAS JEWISH One of the strongest evidences for this is the presence of many artifacts, clay pots, and lamps, which are engraved with what has come to be called the SEAL OF THE MESSIANIC CHURCH. The seal has been copyrighted as " Seven Branched Candelabra/Star of David/Fish" A book entitled "The Messianic Seal of the Jerusalem Church" by Reuven Efraim Schmalz and Raymond Robert Fischer has been published (Olim Publications, P.O. Box 2111,Tiberias, Israel. Top of Seal see the Seven Branch Candelabra that stood before God in the Temple. Below that, see the Star of David, which is from the 7th century BC. It is composed of two interlaced, equilateral triangles or DALTHA (D for David). "A star shall come forth from Jacob, and a scepter shall rise from Israel" Numbers 24:17. Below the star is a fish which is an early Christian symbol in Israel. It was transported to Rome, and by 150 AD. Clement of Alexandria suggested to all his readers that they include the sign of a fish in their personal seals to identify them as Christians. Later the Greek spelling for the word fish ICHTHUS was incorporated. The first five letters of the words that spell "Jesus, Christ, God, Son, and Saviour." In the Messianic Seal, the cross appears as the Hebrew letter TAW. The artifacts were discovered in 1990 by Tech Oteeoos, a 90 year old Greek Orthodox monk, in the vicinity of the, what is believed to be, the original Church founded and pastored by James the Just, the half-brother of Jesus. When the actual grotto was excavated by Oteeoos, numerous inscriptions were found on the walls. The period of its use on Mount Zion could only have been from the crucifixion in 30 AD to 135AD.
