Not to be contentious (and I really do not mean this in a hostile wat), but what other holidays do you celebrate? The Feast of Unleavened Bread? Feast of Tabernacles?

I like what it says in Romans 1:5-6:

" One man considers one day more sacred than another; another man considers every day alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind. 6He who regards one day as special, does so to the Lord. He who eats meat, eats to the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and he who abstains, does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God."

I feel quite certain that what you do is to honor God, and with that confidence, may God bless you.

My intent is not to be hostile either. I'm sharing information. I realize it's a touchy subject. I do celebrate those days. These are the days created by Christ. He calls them "his" days:

Lev 23:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my feasts.

" One man considers one day more sacred than another; another man considers every day alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind. 6He who regards one day as special, does so to the Lord. He who eats meat, eats to the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and he who abstains, does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God."

People often use this verse from Romans 14 to justify not celebrating the days God created.

I will admit that if you read this verse by itself, with the presupposition and bias that it is talking about God's Holy Days, then I can see your point.

But if you approach it without this bias, and read all of Romans 14 to put this verse into context, you will see that the controversy isn't about holy days of God, but about certain days pertaining to eating and drinking.

Further, there is a specific term in the new testament greek that refers to the holy days that Christ created. This term is not mentioned in Romans 14.

Thank you for your blessing and may God bless you in your search for truth.
