My point is that Biblical Judaism always looked to the coming Messiah as God's blessing on the earth. All of Biblical Judaism points to the Messiah I agree. "devout" Judaism has always looked to the coming Messiah. Simeon seems to bear out that statement, and it was fulfilled in his own eyes. Isn't it clear that a Jew can recognize Yeshua as Lord and continue to celebrate the Jewish feasts and holiday's without converting to Western Christianity? It is very clear,(how could it not be, since Jesus came from the lineage) that a Jew can be a Jew, why not? And i would say that we all have our little traditions that we like to think are the real mccoy, BUT I also believe there IS a GOSPEL that is scriptural, would that be true? Same as if God told Israel to do something a certain way, were they not supposed to do it that way? I seem to remember that they were to do it EXACTLY that way. But here comes something that I am NOT saying one CANNOT do... I just wonder WHY one would do it. Is that safe enough? Like you mentioned about Passover. What was passover? Why was Israel instructed to do it? And is not Jesus the fulfillment of/as the Pascal Lamb? (1Cor. 5:7, John 1:29, John 19). As a follower of Christ, I would love to celebrate a Passover with that knowledge. Could one say it is ok if a Jew sacrifices the lamb and spreads the blood on the door post and celebrates the passover in that manner? Has not the Lamb already been sacrificed once for all? And as far as Easter, I celebrate the resurrection every day, with communion every week, AND on Easter also. Who would reject that? Part of the culture Don, that God gave ALL of us, is fulfilled. I would no more go back and plead for God to sacrifice Jesus for me again, any more than I would go back and sacrifice a bull to plead for forgiveness of my sins. Why do you think God chose a devout Jewish Rabbi (Paul) to spread the Gospel? True Paul was devout, but until called, he was not credited with righteousness because he did not "see" the coming of the Messiah, in his own learning. Once he "saw", yes his education as a Rabbi was invaluable in helping to teach the Church. The festivals and feasts of the old law were teachable as "types and shadows" of the Messiah. (Col. 2:16-17, Hebrews 8, Hebrews 10) And even with all that I am told by Paul NOT to judge, so I am discussing, asking questions, but please know I am not judging. God Bless dan
