Do you know any Christian males that are circumcised? My husband is.
Here's a question for you. Do you know any scripture in the NT where Jesus said, hey, that thing about Sabbath? Forget it.
Jesus is Lord of the Sabbath. That is to say, he is/was the God that instituted the Sabbath in the beginning after he created all things. And he didn't do that for himself. He's God. He knows that.
He did it for us! The Sabbath was made for us.
Prior to Moses and the 10 Commandments. Sabbath was added to the ten commandments because it was the first law of God. And that was that which asks, remember that day and keep it holy.
Now imagine someone saying, "don't do that. You're a Christian . The Sabbath isn't made for you anymore. "

Can we stay on topic here...I asked about feasts, and never even mentioned the Sabbath. Also never said it was wrong for a Christian to be circumcised, but is it a requirement once some one gets saved? And I really shouldn't have even brought circumcision up because I know that it is not a requirement for Christians.
So do you have any scripture saying that we are required to keep Jewish tradition feasts and things or not? If you do please post them, thanks

And you asked about feasts.
Christmas
Isn't
A
Feast.
Since you have an issue with "Jewish", the burden is yours.
Just as I suspected you have no real answers. Just here playing games, right. See how much more you can twist this if you want. I never said I had a problem with Jews, but hey don't let that stand in your way...you can go right on falsely accusing me for pages and pages just like you did that other guy if you want, though.
Say what you want whether it's true or not... it's whatever makes you feel good about yourself. I guess that's your game, right.

Being you brought it up, would you kindly list those Biblical holy-days ? This may inform those who don't already know and allow for a new calendar in the Christian members life.
Unleavened Bread
First Fruits
Counting the Omer
Shavuot/Pentecost
Sukkot
Rosh Hashanah/ Trumpets
Yom Kippur
Succoth/tabernacles
So.... Is this a you do not fallow them since you had me list them?
Maybe not fallowing is not a big deal to you....
My point is it does not send people to hell if they do not keep the feast nor does Christmas.
I buy a Birthday cake for Yeshua and we sing Him happy birthday of Christmas, even thought it's not His birthday and we do with without condemnation….
All of the Kingdom (just about) falls short on this one.... lol
Cool.
Thanks.
Now let me ask you this.
When we who are in Christ are told, God's grace is irrevocable, do you think , if let us say I ,or you, honored those listed feasts, that when you, or I, die, that we, as Baptized, regenerate, repentant, reborn in Christ and alive for however many number of years in the body, church, of Christ, would be denied eternal life with the Father? Because we observed and honored that list of feasts that did exist before the new covenant that called our name?
Thanks.

Whether Christmas is Peganism or not doesn't not really matter considered to how many things Christians use in today's world that is from peganism. The word God itself is from peganism, so we would have to change our entire language to avoid peganism if we wanted to be sincere about it.
