The festivals DO celebrate Jesus.
Jesus is Jewish and his coming Kingdom will not be stripped of it's Jewish culture.
You'll have to learn to accept that.

What on earth are you saying??! Which planet do you come from?
Jewish Festivals don't celebrate Jesus Christ (!!!) because they, the Jews, don't believe in Him, they don't accept Him as the Messiah. They say He is a liar and a deceiver.
Accept what? That you have no idea what you are talking about?

Jesus IS GOD. Tell this to a Jew.

It's no my opinion. Nor am I high jacking anything. I'm answering your posts. And you can hold to whatever you believe, it's a false theology. And I speak on it every time I see it. While I may not change the mind of the person who believes the false theology, I may change someone else's mind who is reading these posts. What I don't understand is why people become so angry on this particular subject. You made sure you emphasized "nothing" would change your mind. And I have to wonder why this is such a touchy subject for people. Check your heart and make sure your spirit is right.

Ok. Very well then. Me neither, I am not going to ignore your attempt to bash and throw mud on a HOLY (get that?) man!
You check your heart and your theology! Because they are not Christ-centered!

Stop ranting.
You are showing yourself up to be incredibly biblically ignorant.
I counselled you to heed the warning of the Apostle, Paul. This attitude you are displaying is addressed specifically.
Read Romans chapter 11

If you have been taught replacement theology you have been taught a doctrine of grave error.
Drop it and pray. Ask that the Holy Spirit to show you the Jewish people how he sees them.

Says the woman who claims the Jewish Festivals are about Jesus Christ. Did Jews tell you that?

Why are you so hypocrite? Jews need to believe in Jesus Christ in order to enter in His kingdom. Ask them if they accept Him as their Lord and Savior.
The Holy Spirit wants every person to turn to God. Jews, muslims, pagans, atheists.

I study the Bible.
You obviously do not, or you would have read through all the festivals appointed by The Lord God.

Very well. Now do yourself a favor and ask Jews if they believe Jesus Christ is their Lord.

I never claimed God didn't want everyone including Jews to turn to him.

You need instruction. And you need to repent of this hatred of Jews.
Did you read Romans 11 yet?

Jews are dogs, stiff-necked, gluttonous, drunkards. They are beasts unfit for work… The Jews had fallen into a condition lower than the vilest animals… The synagogue is worse than a brothel and a drinking shop; it is a den of scoundrels, a temple of demons, the cavern of devils, a criminal assembly of the assassins of Christ…. I hate the Jews, because they violate the Law… It is the duty of all Christians to hate the Jews.”

Please defend the comments of this holy man.

Yes. It doesn't contradict my belief: that the Christian Church is the New Israel and whoever want to be part of the family (be him Gentile or Jew) he may be part of it provided that he accepts Jesus Christ as his Savior.

Who said this: “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.”

I think we need to be careful, there have been many a Godly men who have taught great things along with error. No one is perfect.. In fact Moses was a murderer, David committed adultery and murdered.

And, not all christians are dispensationalists or even historic pre millenial So we need to be careful by saying if your not a dispy your not christian. In other words our eschatology is not what defines a person as a Christian.

Just some thoughts.

Saint John Chrysostom does not need me to defend him. God already revealed him as a holy man when, at his death, his body released a pleasant myrrh-like smell (instead of smelling like putrefaction, as it would be normal for a dead body).

edit: the words I put in bold show that he was passionately in love with Jesus Christ and they show why his feelings were so strong about the haters of Christ.

In the liturgical books of the Eastern Orthodox Church, there are many chants which scold the Jews for having rejected Jesus Christ as their Messiah.
This is certainly not politically correct, but it's not anti-Semitic, either.

Rom 11 .
Should give people a healthy perspective. Especially this verse .
11¶I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.
