Armstrong used to forbid the celebrating of Christian Holidays.
yes, the counterfeit Christian holidays. the holidays the world invented.
Biblical holidays are all about Christ: His life, His work, His ministry.

And I suppose acknowledging the birth, death and ressurrection of our Master is not??? Now, I'm not talking about with all the bells and whistles that have been added...just the 'mere' remembrance of these events.Bob10 said:Armstrong used to forbid the celebrating of Christian Holidays.

Fair enough. Please show us where Jesus commanded we must celebrate OT feasts?Bob10 said:And I suppose acknowledging the birth, death and ressurrection of our Master is not???
Isn't it interesting that we'll argue for any holidays, except the LORD's (Lev 23).
argue the point with Jesus.

I don't believe we must celebrate the OT holidays today........
I don't believe we are still under those laws.

blueeyeliner,
I hear ya' ------
The OT holidays are called the appointed times of Jehovah.
Paul told the NT Christians in Corinth, Greece to keep Passover and the days of Unleavened Bread (1 Cor. 5:7-9).

blueeyeliner,
How do you understand Paul telling the Corinthian Christians to keep Passover and the Days of Unleavened Bread (1 Cor. 5: 7-9) ?

The Beast has his mark or sign also -- Sunday.
If you have the mark of the Beast, you will suffer at God's hands.
If you have God's sign, you will suffer and be killed by the Beast.
You will have to choose whom you will honor in your suffering and death.
Could you write these verses out because thats not what I am
reading when I read those verses in the Holy Bible at all.

"Christ our passover is sacrificed for us, therefore, let us keep the feast...." (1 Cor. 5: 7).
**************************************************
Acts 18:21 - "....I must by all means keep this feast that comes in Jerusalem...." --- some commentaries say this feast was Pentecost. And why not; the Christians had already kept Pentecost in Acts 2.
**************************************************
God's "appointed times" pre-date Israel. They are mentioned in Gen 1:14: the word "seasons".
http://bible.crosswalk.com/InterlinearBible/ -- type in "seasons" and "feasts", same Hebrew word, Mow`ed (appointed times).
The fourteenth of Nisan didn't become important because Jesus died on that date; Jesus died on that date because it was one of the "appointed times" of the LORD.
It doesn't appear to be talking about the old testament feast days at all, but rather the new covenant and how it's our new passover because of Christ Jesus our Lord.

I also believe there is a new meaning in the OT Passover.
Jesus is now the Lamb that was sacrificed (Jn 1:29).
I think it is something we should remember year after year, and never forget. We should imitate Jesus and take the cup and bread, yearly ---- to commemorate this sacred event. To me, this bread and wine is the NT Passover ---- "this do, in remembrance of Me" (1 Cor. 11:24-25).
Jesus instituted the NT Passover - "....I shall eat the Passover with my disciples" (Lk 22: 11, 15).
"I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer:" (Lk 22:15).
I believe in the bread and the wine in rememberance
of the Lord too.
