....In regards to the JEWISH holy days.

This is why Christ came at Christmas, to suffer, die, and rise, to make Easter POSSIBLE.

Just wondering then how that ties in with Dec. 25.

John the Baptist was 6 months older then Jesus. So Mary conceived towards March. John the Baptist was conceived around September.

Please see post number 139. Thank-you!

AMEN!

A way to WELCOME the LIGHT OF THE WORLD.

[Biggirl]

This is very reasonable debate! :)

[Biggirl]

The feasts of the OT are Jewish feasts only. That is the truth.

Thank-you Dr. Taylor Marshell and God Bless.

Thanks. It has given me a lot to think about!

....In regards to the JEWISH holy days.

And Jesus was...???

[Biggirl]

Did not that ended when after Jesus died on the cross, the veil of the temple ripped in two?

That means that the Kingdom of Heaven was made open for ALL peoples by God Himself.

[Biggirl]

Both God and man, he observed as a Jew.

No, they are YHWH's days - He calls them His own days in this little book called Leviticus. You should read it sometime.

Not according to the Bible. John would have been conceived around the beginning or middle of June, and thus born around Passover. Jesus would have been born 6 months later, around (probably on) Sukkot.

He did? Where? Is it in Scripture?

Yes he did... It's in the front of the book. Read it. If you are keeping YHWH's moedim, you will know the day of Yeshua's birth. And his death. And his future coronation. And so much more.

Actually...No they are not.

The feasts were GOD'S feasts. They were celebrations for the Hebrews to celebrate God and what he had done for them.

Today, Gentiles are adopted into the Hebrew family tree. Their celebrations of God should be our celebrations.

It doesn't. That's the point. It is meaningless, except as a pagan high day - YHWH's chief enemies ALL were born then: Osiris, Apollo, Marduk, Baal, Tammuz, etc. All of them have been celebrated on the day that begins at dusk, 3 days past the winter solstice, with very much the same baubles and whizzbangs we use today. If there is a day that YHWH wouldn't honor, that'd be it.

Remember, Torah says not to do for Him as the heathen did for their gods, as it is an abomination to him... He remembers what the heathen did, and it makes him sick.
