I wrote, "Quoting verses but not telling use what they mean in conmtext is really not very interesting. That simple statement does not tell you anything about what we may or may not have done wrt the particulars of President's Day."

There is a section missing due to some bad html.

It should have read:

Quoting verses but not telling use what they mean in context is really not very interesting.

The fact that Luke mentions the Jewish feast day is as simple and unassuming as saying, "We went to visit grandmother on President's Day", rather than "We went to visit grandmother on Febraury 20th".

That simple statement does not tell you anything about what we may or may not have done wrt the particulars of President's Day.

Sorry for the confusion.

So, the fact that Paul says "Therefore, let us keep the Feast" [1 Corinthians 5:7-8].....the very same feast Luke is speaking of in Acts 20:6, means nothing to you. God's sacred Holy Days are simply "Over the river and through the woods....to Grandmother's house we don't go"!

But, just wait until Christmas. Then we'll honor God by having drunken parties, decorating with pagan symbols, and buying gifts for everyone.....except the one we're supposed to be honoring. God will understand....just like when we ignored his Festivals and Sabbaths. He knows his Holy Days mean nothing to the modern Christian. He'll understand............
