How would you like it if you left your children a set of instructions, and they did everything but, and claim to do it in honor of you? You wouldn’t be honored at all.
God gave his people a set of feast times explained in the bible. In Exodus 12:14 we are instructed to keep them forever. Christians today celebrate America, and everything but the feasts of the God they claim to serve. If you have the nerve to do what is right, then this is your choice to make, hard as it may be. It’s one thing to stand up with fellow Christians against the world, but what if you were the only one, except for the God you love? Would you stand with him? Do you really love and honor him above all?
This is not about my beliefs. This is about what the bible says. This is not put forth to bring conviction, as much as it is meant to bring blessing. The blessings for doing the will of God are automatic, just as the blessing for obeying the laws of nature (also created by God) are automatic. Only a jack-ass (referring to the movie) would try to break the laws of nature, and it is just as stupid to try to break the laws of God. God’s laws are not so much a crime and punishment, as they are God lovingly telling us how to stay out of trouble.
Jesus never left us instruction to begin a new holiday, and omission is not permission. Birthdays just aren’t celebrated in the kingdom of God. This is why we weren’t even given the date of Jesus’ birth. Jesus said he came to bring us back to the father. The new covenant does not abolish the old. All these lies propagated over the past few generations are working together to lead you astray, and thusly out of your God given blessings. Christians (and non-Christians) are running around like chickens with their heads cut off this time of year, spending money they don’t have in many cases, and buying things they don’t need. This is materialism at its height.
Not one of the holidays celebrated in America today are biblical. The closest may be Easter, but still misses the mark. The enemy takes the things of the Lord and puts enough twist on them to render them useless as a blessing to God. God is a God of perfection, and his feasts shouldn’t be distorted in any way.
“The New Testament Replaced the Old Testament” – Lie (Matthew 5:17) “Jesus is the reason for the season” – Never Was (not in the bible).
You cannot enjoy the benefits of the kingdom of heaven without partaking in it. You cannot partake in the blessings of the kingdom of heaven and partake in the foolish pleasures of the world.
