Don't get me wrong. I am not criticizing you if you want to follow the old statues. I, as a gentile, do not have to follow the law of Moses down to specifics.

Remember the pupose of the Law of Moses.
Galatians 3:19
 Why, then, the Law? It was added to make transgressions manifest, until the seed should arrive to whom the promise had been made; and it was transmitted through angels by the hand of a mediator.

If you boil down all the old statues and decrees from the Old Testament this is what they mean:

Matthew 22
34 After the Pharisees heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they came together in one group. 35 And one of them, versed in the Law, asked, testing him: 36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” 37 He said to him: “‘You must love Jehovah your God with your whole heart and with your whole soul and with your whole mind.’ 38 This is the greatest and first commandment. 39 The second, like it, is this, ‘You must love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 On these two commandments the whole Law hangs, and the Prophets.”

If you wish to follow the Festivals of Weeks or Booths or follow the Hebrew Sabbath that's fine, I would never tell you to do otherwise.



That's perfectly fine. I'm just curious why you wouldn't want to follow them?

The festivals are great because they point out what YHWH did for the Israelites as well as point to YHSWH, and they also point what he will do again (Day of YHWH).

I'm not trying to convince you to follow them. Just asking why you wouldn't want to follow them or at least learn about them (and maybe not even you personally, but protestantism as a whole)? Personally, they bring much more joy than the paganized holidays the world celebrates.


Nobody ever "had" to follow the commands, because it's very evident that the Israelites rarely did. However, those who did follow the commands in order to learn about YHWH with all their heart, soul and mind were blessed and rewarded. But even they died eventually.

So it's not about being "under" the law, it is about being "with" the law.

Again, not trying to tell you to do this or that, just asking what is so tough (or why are people so adverse) to following the laws?


Like I said, it's not about being "saved" or not, it is about being greater or lesser after salvation (sanctification). Learning more about YHWH (knowledge of YHWH) and what is pleasing to Him.
 Quoting: ZTE

I don't follow them because I have never been exposed to them. I am not of Hebrew blood. More power to you if you do. I don't see anything wrong wth that.

I also don't follow any of this world's pagan holidays.
