God gave seven annual Festivals and Holy Days he commanded to be observed.
They contained great and important meaning. They pictured God’s master plan for working out
his purpose for humanity. They were established forever.

Jesus observed them, setting us an example.

The apostles observed them (Acts 18:21; 20:6, 16; 1 Corinthians 5:8; 16:8).
The true,original Church—including gentile converts—kept them.


God said through Moses: “Ye shall not do after all the
things that we do here this day, every man whatsoever is right
in his own eyes” (Deuteronomy 12:8). And again: “Take heed
to thyself that thou be not snared by following them [pagan
religious customs] … and that thou inquire not after their gods

Today the professing Christian world rejects God’s Holy Days; holy to him,
but which a deceived “Christianity”hates.

They observe instead the pagan days—Christmas, New Year’s,
Easter, and others—“which God hateth”! Many know and
confess that these are pagan—but they argue, “We don’t observe
these in worshiping the pagan gods, we use their customs in
worshiping Christ and the true God.”

1 Corinthians 5:7 (KJV)
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:

1 Corinthians 5:8 (KJV)
Therefore let us keep the feast,
not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness;
but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

passover was once a year,
people do not want to put sin out of there lives and believe a lie.

1What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision?
2Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God.

“Ye shall not do after all the things that we do here this day,
every man whatsoever is right in his own eyes”

“Speak to the people of Israel and say to them,

These are the appointed feasts of the LORD that you shall proclaim as holy convocations;

they are my appointed feasts.

Celebrating Jewish holidays are fun. I have Jewish ancestry and at a church I was attending they did a Passover Sader as well as celebrating Hanukkah. It was a different experience, but a fun one at that. But yes, I believe that all the Jewish holidays are biblical.

We live in the New Covenant times. The Jewish holidays aren't necessary, but they can still be practiced. For example, the Passover can be great reminder of what Christ has done for us and how He and His sacrifice were foreshadowed long before Christ came to earth as the God/man.

Yes but we must be careful if we place our faith in what we are doing it spits in the face of the cross and we are open to be bound by sin. I would say no don't do it unless you are well founded in the word and the Gospel.

are we not told to keep the feast in the new testement

1 Corinthians 5:7 (KJV)
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:

1 Corinthians 5:8 (KJV)

Therefore let us (keep the feast),
not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness;
but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

The only thing we are told to keep in the NT is communion and no set date was given. He simply said as oft as you do it do it in remembrance of Me. He did that so that our faith would not be in a day but in His blood.

No, we live in light of the New Covenant, God's Law has been fulfilled in Christ. Christians don't live under the Law, only those who don't know Christ still live there.

It is the time when “living waters”—salvation,
the Holy Spirit—“shall go out from Jerusalem”

This shall be the punishment?…?of all nations
that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles” (verses 18-19).

How could they keep a festival that was abolished at the cross?

Abraham, Isaac and Jacob were merely heirs when they dwelled on Earth (Hebrews 11:9).

While heirs they dwelled in tabernacles, or booths, sojourning in the land of promise

God says of Ephraim (a type of all Israel) that they will “dwell in tabernacles,
as in the days of the solemn feast” (Hosea 12:9).

Its called religion, you must work or obey rules. Christ put the rules in our hearts and in our thinking.

Certainly they are not necessary for Salvation or even for maintaining a right relationship with the Lord.

Please read Zec chapter 14 and tell me if it causes you to rethink your response.

yes I have read that book


16And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.

17And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain.


18And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no rain; there shall be the plague, wherewith the Lord will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.



It confirms that we should keep Gods Holy convocations now

This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you.

the romans made and changed the calander, away from the way God made for us.



4“These are the appointed feasts of the LORD, the holy convocations,
which you shall proclaim at the time appointed for them.

5In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at twilight, a is the LORD’s Passover.

everyone knows about this feast.

6And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the Feast of Unleavened Bread to the LORD;
for seven days you shall eat unleavened bread.

7On the first day you shall have a holy convocation; you shall not do any ordinary work.

take a day off once a year from a paying job.


Therefore let us (keep the feast),

not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness;
but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

Does everyone follow the doctrine of the cathloc church and keep easter instead ?
