So the author's a Judaizer. I guess we should all only celebrate Yom Kippur, Hannukah, and Passover. And go back to the Hebrew calendar. That is and was the goal of Jesus Christ.

1970 years of Christians of much greater stature than you and I disagree. But then again, Christianity started the day you were born again, right? What do those old, dead, sometimes-white men know anyway?

BTW, you're saying Christ was born, suffered, died, was buried, and resurrected to get us to celebrate Yom Kippur and Hannukah? Coulda fooled me!

It's not obsessing over "holidays". It's spreading the truth about holy days...days that Christ created and commanded to be observed.

Of course it's obsessing about holidays. Here's an idea: go do Christ's work. Counsel single mothers, protest at an abortion clinic, pray for others, fast, give to charity. Instead of sitting around selling a gimmick about how bad a holiday Christmas is. Celebrating or not celebrating Christmas will not have much bearing on whether you're "#1 Christian" although I think it's rather disrespectful not to honor the incarnation of Christ who is OUR GOD AND SAVIOR.

Scripture, the word of God, is what I base my beliefs on. I think there have always been Christians that have observed the feast days that Christ created, but they have been persecuted, marginalized, and shouted down throughout history.

Those are good works. And you don't really know what I do in my personal life.

Joh 6:29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.

When Christ told us to observe his feasts, I believe him.
