I take that you do not believe that Jesus Christ was the true Messiah and that those who call upon his name shall not die but have everlasting life. This is why the Jewish (Israel) people have been cursed to go through the WHOLE tribulation by God himself.
The Ten Commandments (written by the finger of God) are still in use by any Christian or should be. The other 600+ laws were for the Israelites who at the time did not have any governmental, social or religious structure to follow. Simply look to the days prior to their Exodus from Eygpt.
The Bible tells this throughout the old and new testaments. The Bible also tells us that during the tribulations (all seven years) roughly 2/3 of the Jewish people will die. Rem, during the Third Reich only 1/3 of the Jewish population was murdered by Hitler and company.
Revelations 4 though 5 ends the Age of the Gentile and the Age of the Church. Rev. 6 begins Gods return to his People and the tribulations.
What part of the torah should we keep. The Holy Bible is one book divinely, designed and written by both God and 44 authors who have given us 66 books over 2000 years. I think we should keep it all, the whole thing.
Have a Blessed day

Awehaw! Condemning those celebrations and traditions that hinge on pagan gods and deities. Oh the hatred of those law abiding citizens who found God's words are all we need.
Reminds me of something Jesus said, Matthew The Greatest Commandment(Deuteronomy 6:1-19; Mark 12:28-34)34And when the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, they themselves gathered together. 35One of them, an expert in the Law, tested Him with a question: 36“Teacher, which commandment is the greatest in the Law?”37Jesus declared, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’d 38This is the first and greatest commandment. 39And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’e 40All the Law and the Prophets depend/hang on these two commandments.”
When is it ok to lie? I don't hate Christian celebrations. Lie!!
When is it ok to lie? Christ was born during the winter solstice and pagans celebrate the Sun being renewed. Oh, that makes it ok now.
When is it ok to lie? The Easter bunny left these eggs and toys for you, but don't tell grandma because she celebrates Passover instead.
When is it ok to lie? Santa Claus is coming to town from the North Pole. Jesus? He's just a baby, He loves getting gifts from the East.

jcha Let me ask you this my family celebrates Easter to dedicate that day remembering the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus and we have a meal that we eat pork, beef, and steak. I want to hear in your own words do I sin against God celebrating like this? I just want to hear a honest answer from your heart on this. And Christmas we pick that day to celebrate the birth of Jesus and eat the same things. No argument just a honest answer. And the reason we do it be cause we know He loved us first to dedicate those days to Him.

Do we sin in ignorance or do we sin willfully? I sinned in ignorance because I was born into a family that was all Southern Baptists. I no longer celebrate Christ's birthday in December, but my offspring do, because that is what I taught them. I eat a meal with them, and I accept their gifts, and they buy my gifts to give but for some time now I've been making quilts for everybody. I have two beautiful daughters who truly honor me, but they have no time for Bible Study or even a Sunday church. They do not impose on me on Saturday but they know I am there for them if sickness is involved or a crisis arises. I am actually teaching them now by my present actions. We do with our hands what is work and with our minds we speak what we believe.
As for Easter, I don't participate with family at all. They get it and don't impose. Maybe next year they'll come to Passover Seder.
Each day is a gift from God and if you love His Word, you will delight in all the blessings He gives back. The more we study and seek answers, like we do in here at CC BSF, we grow. Iron sharpens iron. We are not at the same place in our walks, but this was true in my immaturity and loved being with seasoned believers.
You will act out your convictions. We have our salvation only through Jesus. How we walk and talk after salvation, is about whether we grow and mature or stay infants on milk.
I personally desire to celebrate and observe the dates with God that He chose.
I can't judge you, but I am glad you asked.

I strongly believe that God is in the business of transformation, taking broken and sinful people and restoring them to their true identity. I'm sure that the celebrations at Christmas and Easter time were pagan but they were replaced as occasions to give glory to God and remember his goodness. Kind of similar to the way the Cross (a brutal method of execution) now stands as a symbol for Jesus conquering sin and death.
Thats just my two cents anyway.
(P.S. If it doesn't matter what you think then why should anyone listen? Haha, just kidding

I used to think the same thing.
God specifically tells us not to worship like the pagans do.
Ask Aaron. He made a golden calf and proclaimed a feast. He was doing it to honor YHVH.
It didn't end well.
