I would hardly consider a life consumed by new moons, sabbaths, festivals, hold days, etc. etc as being “ set free “ . Looks like old time bondage to the law to me.
Set free from the world’s system..
Those new moons, sabbaths and feasts were just major events of the Messiah’s life. They are rather important in scripture.. and they are shadows of what came and what is coming.. His second return and the Kingdom. And watching for Him isn’t a bad idea. I call it a blessing and a ‘want to’, not a ‘have to’..
But December 25 good Friday and easter Sunday are holy to most today..
Freedom from the conformity of the world is an amazing place to be.
But the pope and papacy has their authority and people dont mind following their system..
thing is, that authority isn’t mandated by the edge of a sword. It is as subtle as it is..
There is already a one world system- just not the same way preachers have thought about.. and the major governments including the UN, business world and the major religions have no problem with it.. all unified under something named for some religious figure named a pope.
Most of those first reformers called the papacy the spirit of the ‘instead of’ messiah- today the reformers are observing the papacy’s holy days..
Today is Tiw’sday.. some god nobody really knows about on the pope’s calendar getting pub. Not a holy day, but certainly not scriptural.
on our Heavenly Father’s calendar, its the fourth day..
You tell me who’s free... enjoy your Tiw’s day!
