Deu 16:13 `The feast of booths thou dost make for thee seven days, in thine in-gathering of thy threshing-floor, and of thy wine-vat;
Deu 16:14 and thou hast rejoiced in thy feast, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy man-servant, and thy handmaid, and the Levite, and the sojourner, and the fatherless, and the widow, who are within thy gates.
It's BYOF&D - Bring your own food and drink.
Notice v14 who's invited to share in what you brought from what the Lord has given you. Now that is cause to rejoice before the Lord. All of each household came together with the other households at the place the Lord chose.
Right along with what you were saying.
It's bring your own. Got it. I never knew we were suppose to have big feast parties.
Every year my Church spends over 100,000 and more to build rides and have all you can eat food for the community and all the churches nearby. We call it Celebration Sunday, and it's not cheap.
We set up tents and give tickets where folks can go get new computers, washer dryers, and even new cars.
I always give my ticket away as it's random to what tent you visit. Orange tent is the new computer, new car tent.
It's all you can eat burgers, brats, ice cream, and anything else you could think of.
it's only once a year though. I am also not hip on the idea of giving all that expensive stuff away as every year arguments and fights break out with the heathens about who is in Line, and I saw that first.
So, how often is this feast? Total estimated cost? and does it have to be on any particular day?
Looking at scriptures, it looks like Thousands of people are suppose to attend this. It's really hard to pull that many people together and get them use to the idea of doing something on a regular bases.
We will search the scriptures, that is the way we will think that we have eternal life. And we will study unto God, with the Commandments of The Lord Jesus Christ in loving him until he returns. John 5:39, II Tim. 2:15, and John 14:15.
Ya, that is awesome, but your OP is about eating food. I have actually been thinking about a Christian community get together. I think you have a great idea here.
