If you were born to Jewish parents and believe on Yeshua, be at liberty to keep any law or tradition you can that does not conflict with the entire Canon. If you were born a Gentile, remain a Gentile and feel free to do the same but do not cast a stumbling block before Jew or GentileGood to see another mature post. Been lacking a bit here.
I suppose you forgot all about your "important" post of scripture from Philippians I complemented you on then...
While we're at it, let's just forget Philippians 2:9-11 too:
9For this reason also, God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, 10so that at the name of Jesus EVERY KNEE WILL BOW, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Every knee means EVERY KNEE...
What one person call a "stumbling block", an honest person calls "the truth!"

What one person call a "stumbling block", an honest person calls "the truth!" Selected from 1 Cor 8, 9, 10
- But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak. For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the idol's temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols; And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died? But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ. Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend.
- What is my reward then? Verily that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel. For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more. And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law; To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law. To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.
- Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God: Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved.

That one person was the Holy Spirit who called them a stumbling block. I would suggest He was a the honest person.
