Yahshua celebrated Passover, the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Feast of Firstfruits, Shavout, Yom Teruah, Yom Kippur, Sukkot and the Feast of Dedication (Chaunnukah).

At the same time He was celebrating these feasts pagans were celebrating the sun god Mirthra's birthday on Dec.25 and the goddess Istar's day during the Spring Equinox which Constantine 300 years later renamed Easter.

Jesus was aware of these pagan holidays(actually called them an abomination) as they were going on while He was here, but chose to celebrate His Father's holy days which His Father said should be celebrated throughout all generations. In fact in Zach 14 we are told ALL THE NATIONS will come to Jerusalem to celebrate Sukkot during the Millenium. Oh darn, I guess the church will have to give up All Saints Day and Halloween to go to Jerusalem. Can you imagine we are going to have to celebrate God's holy days and not our own
MAN MADE TRADITIONS.

Hebrew Roots, Noahides, Yahwehists, etc. are groups that lead into apostasy. Much of the book of Hebrews was written as warnings against people taking Christian faith to far back into Judaism. When you do you are an apostate.

You Judaizers who have dominated this string need to realize some of us can read. Sorry, we have already read the Apostle Paul. For instance the allegory of Abraham’s family in Gal. 4:21-31.

I say with the Apostle Paul, “cast out the bondwoman,” v. 30. Christianity following Paul, did that early on. Now you Judaizers think to drag us all back under slavery (the bondwoman, Hagar, in the allegory), the Old Covenant.

At the beginning of Galatians, Paul defined its main theme, the subversion of the Gospel by Judaizers:
“But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed,” 1:7.

Your Judaizing is accursed. Cast out the slave woman.

Zzzzzzzz...I'm not really sure if our Jewish Freeper friends are aware we really don't care about their admonitions to us on how to celebrate our faith. We're almost all well aware that Christmas is on the same date as the old Saturnalia festivals and that Easter is at a similar time to the old pagan Spring festivals. None of it matters since we're not celebrating some pagan Spring festival or Saturnalia. We commemorate Christ's death and birth, respectively.

We also have no reason to abstain from eating shellfish or pork either. Christ created a New Covenant, and we're moving forward with that New Covenant. Not the old ways. It's such an irrelevant discussion I'm not even sure why we're having it. I mean, it's like been a moot point for about 1,950 years.
