Does anyone understand what Forever and Generations mean?

Question

So much for Christmas.......oh, and there are several more verses where that came from that tells us to keep the Lords HOLY days,
for all you "christians" that do the christmas thing. The bible does not support christmas. There is NO santa clause.

Exd 12:14 And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to the LORD throughout your GEBERATIONS; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for EVER.

Answer 1

Generations is 25 years (Jewish)

Forever is never ending...

The Bible doesn't support santa clause and neither do I. A time where people be more generous and give to each other it does.

Also the Christmas tree can be shown as a pointer to God. (It has one point)

The Candy cane can be a J, the red and white stripes remind me of Jesus purity and the blood that He shed.

I do Celebrate Christmas every day, and easter every day. It is nice to have a date where I can do that more outlandishly...

I give God Glory all the time. (Glory is about weight of God's presence) I keep it with me all the time....

Answer 4

Some old feasts have been incorporate into the fabric of the new covenant church, and Passover is certainly the most important one.

Catholics fulfill the spirit of Exodus 12:14 every Sunday at Mass, because the Mass is the eternal fulfillment of the Jewish Passover, and is also the authentic re-presentation of Jesus' one time, once for all, perfect sacrifice for sin.

The Jewish Passover served only to point to Christ, the true Lamb of God, who would save his people from an eternity of slavery to Satan, sin, and death ... not just a lifetime of slavery to Pharoah.

Here's what the official Cathechism of the Catholic Church teaches about Jesus, the Passover, and the Mass:

The institution of the Eucharist

1337 The Lord, having loved those who were his own, loved them to the end. Knowing that the hour had come to leave this world and return to the Father, in the course of a meal he washed their feet and gave them the commandment of love.163 In order to leave them a pledge of this love, in order never to depart from his own and to make them sharers in his Passover, he instituted the Eucharist as the memorial of his death and Resurrection, and commanded his apostles to celebrate it until his return; "thereby he constituted them priests of the New Testament."164

1338 The three synoptic Gospels and St. Paul have handed on to us the account of the institution of the Eucharist; St. John, for his part, reports the words of Jesus in the synagogue of Capernaum that prepare for the institution of the Eucharist: Christ calls himself the bread of life, come down from heaven.165

1339 Jesus chose the time of Passover to fulfill what he had announced at Capernaum: giving his disciples his Body and his Blood:


Then came the day of Unleavened Bread, on which the passover lamb had to be sacrificed. So Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, "Go and prepare the passover meal for us, that we may eat it. . . ." They went . . . and prepared the passover. And when the hour came, he sat at table, and the apostles with him. And he said to them, "I have earnestly desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer; for I tell you I shall not eat it again until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.". . . . And he took bread, and when he had given thanks he broke it and gave it to them, saying, "This is my body which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me." And likewise the cup after supper, saying, "This cup which is poured out for you is the New Covenant in my blood."166
1340 By celebrating the Last Supper with his apostles in the course of the Passover meal, Jesus gave the Jewish Passover its definitive meaning. Jesus' passing over to his father by his death and Resurrection, the new Passover, is anticipated in the Supper and celebrated in the Eucharist, which fulfills the Jewish Passover and anticipates the final Passover of the Church in the glory of the kingdom.

"Do this in memory of me"

1341 The command of Jesus to repeat his actions and words "until he comes" does not only ask us to remember Jesus and what he did. It is directed at the liturgical celebration, by the apostles and their successors, of the memorial of Christ, of his life, of his death, of his Resurrection, and of his intercession in the presence of the Father.167

1342 From the beginning the Church has been faithful to the Lord's command. Of the Church of Jerusalem it is written:


They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. . . . Day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they partook of food with glad and generous hearts.168
1343 It was above all on "the first day of the week," Sunday, the day of Jesus' resurrection, that the Christians met "to break bread."169 From that time on down to our own day the celebration of the Eucharist has been continued so that today we encounter it everywhere in the Church with the same fundamental structure. It remains the center of the Church's life.

1344 Thus from celebration to celebration, as they proclaim the Paschal mystery of Jesus "until he comes," the pilgrim People of God advances, "following the narrow way of the cross,"170 toward the heavenly banquet, when all the elect will be seated at the table of the kingdom.
