Do you think we still need to keep the feast days? Why or why not?

Question

listening to both sides

Answer 1

No.There are no holidays at all in the N.T.And vain traditions are null and void.It is incorrect to assume there are any by pointing to Jesus or the apostles entering synagogues or temples or taking part in festivals because the point was to preach the Gospel,and get the lost to repent.They didn't condone those things.The issue has nothing to do with legalism or freedom in Grace.It is unbiblical,and reading the N.T. makes that perfectly clear.

Answer 2

Bethybug, I'm not sure WHICH Religion that you are addressing this towards. As a Wiccan, I believe that WE SHOULD still keep our feast days and honor them. The 8 Sabats STILL keep us in tune to the Cycle of the year and the Esbats STILL keep us in tune to the cycle of the month and the Moon. They provide a time for us to worship, reflect on our lives and GROW as spiritual individuals in an otherwise, hectic World. I would think that this LAST sentence would be true for ALL religions. In this wild and crazy World, there seems to be less and less time for nurturing our OWN spiritual growth and development and holding our feast days at least assures that SOME time will be spent on doing that.

Answer 3

Why be a kill-joy Puritan legalist and ban celebrating Jewish or other religious feasts? Didn't Jesus celebrate them and go to the Temple and synagogue? Christians are free to celebrate or not celebrate Jewish feasts. The Incarnation,Death and Resurrection of Jesus they are not free to ignore.

Answer 4

No. Feast days were part of the old law. The old law leads to death. We have been released from the old law.
