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?

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.

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.

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.

Pharisees loved scripture alone too, it let them ignore what was clearly the spirit of God so they could profit from legalistic interpretations.

I guess it never occurred to you that your interpretation of Scripture is flawed, distorted, twisted, incomplete, and erroneous in almost every way.

Protestants never do seem to consider that, when they play high and mighty and beat their breast and pledge allegiance to Scripture.

That's why there's one Catholic Church and 27,000 Protestant ones.
