1 Corinthians 5:7
Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:

Keeping a feast of the OT is like saying the cross of Christ is of no effect. In fact it is defecating on the work of Jesus Christ.

If you want to keep the feast as a memorial or celebration of what Christ has done, fine. But in the NT there is no command to keep them because Christ is the fulfillment of all things in the OT.

I will rephrase if you have faith in keeping a feast then you are defecating on the cross.

Kerry, please, please read scripture! Why would we have Passover to show Christ as our Savior thousands of years before the world saw him if Passover was celebrated to deny Christ? The feasts were given to show the Lord's plan for our salvation, they sort of spell it out for us. Christ is at the heart of our salvation. When the feasts proclaim Christ, how can you say ----such gutter language regarding what is of the Lord and Christ.

Red, does keeping the feasts save you? Or does keeping the feast maintain your salvation?

Here's an interesting video about the feast of the past and what they represented.

Keeping a feast is like doing yoga, it's stupid. The only one that we should keep is communion and there is no set time or place.

I go to my Creator and Father for a lot more than how I will live after I leave this earth. To do that is like telling your Father you will only do for Him what he pays you good money for doing. You say if it isn't for my salvation I won't listen to you!! My creator loves me and I love my Creator. This creator tells me how to live in the world He created for me. God does this because he loves us and this is the way we can live the best in this world He created. I listen.

I listen and ask Him what I must do for salvation, and I listen to that. But I am not so unloving and ungrateful that I ask for salvation for everything my Father tells me to do. We work as a family, not as a corporation demanding high pay for work done.

The Bible says Christ is our passover, so then the feast of passover was a shadow pointing to Christ and what He would do for us. Jesus died on passover which was in God's plan.

So why keep the shadow when we have the true? All 7 feasts point to the work of Christ in the plan of salvation.

this is not a 'yes' or 'no' question...this is an issue of christian freedom...

should we as blood bought christians be free to -not- keep them? yes!

Why can't you just answer the questions straight forward?

The question is should we, as opposed should we not...As I agree with you it's a matter of Christian freedom...I'm pretty sure the OP means is it an obligation or necessary.

If it's a matter of freedom, then the answer is no. I should not have to do anything if it's a matter of freedom.

We shouldn't. If this is something we aught to do, then James,, Peter, and Paul should have mentioned that at the council of Jerusalem in regards to the gentile converts.

i think you missed the point i was trying to make...

issues of christian freedom are not 'shoulds' or 'should nots'...they are 'cans'...

Interesting.. If the OP said "can we still keep the feasts" I would have answered "yes" because of Christian freedom.

Just goes to show how people think differently.

Yes that is what I meant, because on another topic some people were saying we should still keep feasts and SDA are wrong in teaching we do not have to keep feasts anymore. So I started a topic on the feasts to open it up for all. Not just on a SDA topic.

My question is why, why keep Passover or Pentecost? It served it's purpose and no longer serves a purpose. why promote what fails?

No, we can't keep the feasts. These feasts were commanded to keep under the OT Law, meaning it's just as bad as teaching circumcision. Such "liberties" would lead others astray from Christ & turn them into legalists who add works to their salvation, making it of none effect. Don't we have enough "traditions of men" already in the church?
