mark 12: 29 Jesus answered him, “The [k]first of all the commandments is: ‘Hear, O Israel, the Lordour God, the Lord is one. 30 And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ [l]This is the first commandment.31 And the second, like it, is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”

Matt 22:
36 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?”
37 Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lordyour God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’40 On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”

They say those are the greatest commandments not the only but I guess thats what you get when you listen to man fabricated doctrine. And how do you love your God easy Jesus told us if you love me keep my commandments thats more than one or two by the way.

Keeping the three (or seven) annual feasts seems to stick in your craw. It is not a law, it is a suggestion of the Lord as the best way to understand his plan of salvation, to praise Him, and to celebrate Him.

We are to look at the suggestions of the lord and judge them as to law or schoolmasters through the law of love and whether it is part of the kingdom of the lord. Is keeping the feasts part of the love as we are told all law is or is it like fleshly circumcision? Cutting flesh is not preforming an act of love it is a teacher of the law and we are not obligated to the teaching commands. Are the feasts teachers or acts of love?

Are you asking because you don't know whether you should keep feast days or are you trying to catch me in error I'm thinking it's the latter.

The feast days were ceremonial in preparation for the coming and sacrifice of Christ

How ironic says the man that believes there is one or two commandments.

You accuse this "claiming to be law followers", when you know perfectly well that it is only the will to follow the law the people you are putting down are claiming. They are Christians who are humble before the lord, and the Lord tells everyone they are unable to keep the law, but they are to repent of sins. To repent is to try not to sin.

Could it be that the purpose behind all these posts of yours is to promote wanting to be disobedient?

What do you think this "old law" is that we are not bound to?

There is only one, the law of Moses. Paul said we are dead to that law or at least we are supposed to be. Not being dead to it is to be wrong. The law of Christ is the only valid law for Christians.

The feasts outline the plan the Lord has for our salvation, from Christ at Passover to the new heaven and earth at the feast of Tabernacles.
