Scripture gives the celebrations and parties, usually it is found in the Old Testament. I realize many Christians feel anything written there and not repeated in the new isn't to be considered scripture now that Christ lived on earth and was crucified so perhaps my thinking it is scripture seems strange to many. I have carefully checked everything Christ improved on--His blood instead of the blood of animals is a glaring example. I haven't seen Christ set up feasts and celebrations as improvements, so I take the feasts as scripture about how to celebrate the Lord.
Oh Dear!! I can just hear the slam bang from these beliefs as not from God!! Especially from how Paul was against using rituals to be accepted by the Lord, and comparing the feasts to rituals. Afraid this is opening up a can of worms. I guess you only see feasts as rituals to not be used, or you see feasts as celebrations from scripture to celebrate the Lord. I have never seen a scripture to say not to use these celebrations. Don't use animal blood, don't use diet, don't use physical circumcision, but no don't use feasts. There were lots of pagan feasts scripture talks about in the NT, even, and we aren't to judge by feasts, even, but no don't use what scripture told of.
