Galatians 5: 1 For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.
We know that the basic slavery that the Lord sets us free from is the freedom from sin. When we accept Christ within us, we become sin free. But Paul also lists circumcision as one of the things Christ sets us free from.
However, in Galatians it also explains that we give up living for the flesh and take on living for the spirit of Christ. It does not express that spirit to cut the flesh, it does not express that spirit to choose certain foods, but it does express that spirit to celebrate God with feasts.
I hope this doesn’t simmer down to whether we should keep feasts, but rather it is thoughts about freedom through Christ, and what Christ would like us to do and what obligations we are freed from and why you think so.
We also need to remember that we must accept and love those who understand it differently than we do. We are only discussing, not judging.
