Aye it's beautiful

2017-11-03 18:29:30 UTC  

What are your opinions on the keeping of God's festivals?

2017-11-03 18:30:01 UTC  

"The Lord hath created medicines out of the earth; and he that is wise will not abhor them." -Ecclesiastes 38:4

2017-11-03 18:30:46 UTC  

Well, keeping festivals is optional

2017-11-03 18:31:02 UTC  

```One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.```

2017-11-03 18:31:06 UTC  

Romans 14:5

2017-11-03 18:31:07 UTC  

How so?

2017-11-03 18:31:13 UTC  

Because of the verse I quoted

2017-11-03 18:31:23 UTC  

in the Old Testament it was compulsory, but we're in the New Covenant now

2017-11-03 18:32:23 UTC  

I have always believed that it was the cessation of the sacrafices, not of the days themselves. Throughout the old testimate it is clear that they are to be kept as statutes forever.

2017-11-03 18:32:34 UTC  

forever being a very important word

2017-11-03 18:32:38 UTC  

Have you read the Book of Galatians?

2017-11-03 18:32:44 UTC  

That's where Paul speaks against Judaizers

2017-11-03 18:32:56 UTC  

false teachers were trying to make Christians go back under the Old Testament Law

2017-11-03 18:33:05 UTC  

He gives an example:

2017-11-03 18:33:25 UTC  

```But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage?

Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years.

I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain.```

2017-11-03 18:33:47 UTC  

Also Colossians 2:16:

2017-11-03 18:33:58 UTC  

```Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:```

2017-11-03 18:34:03 UTC  

So you can celebrate them if you want of course

2017-11-03 18:34:26 UTC  

Paul explains why they shouldn't let anyone judge them on this matter:

2017-11-03 18:34:33 UTC  

```Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.```

2017-11-03 18:35:04 UTC  

that's continuing on from the last line, so basically he's saying that the Old Testament festivals prefigured the coming of Christ, for instance the feast of firstfruits represented Christ rising from the dead as the "firstfruit of them that are raised"

2017-11-03 18:35:42 UTC  

But did not christ himself keep those festivals?

2017-11-03 18:35:44 UTC  

ugh i came into a religious discussion

2017-11-03 18:35:54 UTC

What is it with the number of traps here

2017-11-03 18:37:32 UTC  

smh

2017-11-03 18:37:48 UTC  

Traps aren't gay

2017-11-03 18:37:58 UTC  

Maybe

2017-11-03 18:37:58 UTC  

They want to abandon their hellbound ways and embrace The Love of God but they don't know how
