I only have trouble with trying to put our Messiah in a pagan holiday. I see Him so fully manifested in the feasts of YHWH of Lev 23 both in his first and second comings. Jesus taught from the vantage point of the feasts and used them as the backdrop to much of his teaching. So I would never desire to go back to the contrived holidays that really do not have any biblical basis. These were put on Christians by force to keep them from learning what God wanted to teach them. And some of the practices fly in the face of scripture. I do not want to be the cause of a Jew not recognizing his Messiah, because they know their Messiah would not do these abominations. If I break their oral law I am following Jesus example, but if I break the written scripture I am a hypocrite of the worst kind. The children learn so much in the feasts and I never saw such spiritual growth in children taught to celebrate Christmas and Easter. But your basic message on forgiveness is right on.Dee Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08900099338390143172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24478618.post-69691032459490403402007-12-19T08:30:00.000-06:002007-12-19T08:30:00.000-06:00Amen Dave; So often our Christmas focus is on us. ...Amen Dave; So often our Christmas focus is on us.
