But What? There is no more. There is only going back to the traditions of the past. Paul did not advocate keeping any festival, or tradition. He said whether you do or don't makes no difference. But if you do and it causes your brother to stumble because he starts believing he needs to keep a festival or some tradition of the law for his salvation that is harming your brother because that is false. Your messianic Judaism is of no benefit. It doesn't matter if we set aside a day for God on saturday or sunday. We are not bound by those precepts any longer. God struck Israel and disbursed the nation in 70 AD. He put an end to the practice of the law forever. It has been replaced with His perfect covenant of Grace in Jesus Christ. If we can Love the Lord our God with all our heart and love our neighbor as ourselves we have fulfilled the whole law. Not if we keep a Sabbath on saturday, or passover or whatever. It's just window dressing of no value. There is no temple in the New Jerusalem. There is no levitical law. Abraham was judged righteous by God because of his faith alone. Abraham never kept any levitical law but he was approved by God. So am I and I don't need messianic judaism. Abraham didn't have it either. He was not a Jew. He was the father of a people of faith. Enoch was not a Jew. Noah was not. How long was it after Abraham that the law was given? A long time, generations. The law as only a phase that we went through on the path to Jesus Christ. I say again what you have ignored. Jesus said there will be those who say the old is good enough in the parable of the wine skins. Jesus is the new wine, the law is the old wine. Bob
