Nancy,
Do you think that heaven will be split with the Gentiles on the one side and the Jews on the other? Do you think the earth should be split that way? If you say no then all I can say is your theology appears contrary.
As to keeping the old testament feasts I know that Christians don't keep them and the Israelites only keep the easy, convenient ones. Even though these feasts were Gods' commandments and not just recommendations. An example given:
And ye shall take you on the first day the boughs of goodly trees, branches of palm trees, and the boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and ye shall rejoice before the Lord your God seven days. And ye shall keep it a feast unto the LORD seven days in the year: it shall be a statute for ever in your generations; ye shall celebrate it in the seventh month. Ye shall dwell in booths seven days; all that are Israelites born shall dwell in booths: Lev 23
This seems very explicit but nobody does it. So why mock God and keep the only the ones that are convenient to the flesh?
<The old saved the ones that were in the sacrifical system it was not permantent but I don't think Moses, Elijah, Daniel and others are in hell.>
The law never saved anyone. These men were living during the sacrificial time period but it was their faith that saved them. Not the faith of serving the law, even though that's expected of one to the best of their ability.
Both the old and the new testament are the word of God and the principles of both are to be adhered to, however some things that God required of men in the old are done away with in the new because of Christ's atonement.
