Donald, I think that was AT LEAST two bytes!!!! lol My take on some of this is that the blood of bulls and goats could not take away sin and thus the Perfect Sacrifice, Jesus was offered. There are various feasts and ceremony that continued and will continue to be done, and I certainly am not one to say they cannot be done. I think any blood sacfifice offered this day,(do they do that anymore?) is wasted. Even Paul, when he came into a city and saw a statue to "an unamed god" ,used the statue and said "let me tell you about this God" (not exact words I'm sure.)He became all things to all people in order to save some. MARK SILVERS this following is for you: (Rom 11:17 NIV) If some of the branches have been broken off, and you, though a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing sap from the olive root, (Rom 11:18 NIV) do not boast over those branches. If you do, consider this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you. (Rom 11:19 NIV) You will say then, "Branches were broken off so that I could be grafted in." (Rom 11:20 NIV) Granted. But they were broken off because of unbelief, and you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but be afraid. (Rom 11:21 NIV) For if God did not spare the natural branches, he will not spare you either. Point being that God is Just, and we certainly cannot not boast in anything WE did or do!! Donald, you said; >>and believe he would appreciates a loving Christian that would continue to practice them<< what about the priests and Holy of Holies, and tabernacle? or are you just speaking of various cerem0onies, washings, etc? thanks for the conversation, dcf
