What is not of faith is sin.

But we are not speaking of sin. We are speaking to the observance of days and of the other ceremonies of the Old Covenant, which is passing away and has been once and for all fulfilled in Jesus Christ.

Hmm, I missed this ping. Sorry for the delay.

Here's my original set of questions:

How do you guys define sin? Are we free to sin in the New Covenant? Can we sin so that Grace may abound? How do you define harlotry in reference to prophesy and historical Israel?

Your response:

What is not of faith is sin.

That's quite vague and not the Biblical definition of sin. Here's the Biblical definition of sin:

I John 3 4 Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness, for sin is lawlessness.

But we are not speaking of sin. We are speaking to the observance of days and of the other ceremonies of the Old Covenant, which is passing away and has been once and for all fulfilled in Jesus Christ.

Yes, we are speaking of sin. This is why I asked how you define harlotry. Perhaps you could address that point?

Could you elaborate on this comment? What do you think passed away with the New Covenant? Who do you think the New Covenant applies to? At any rate, the only thing that Jesus commanded His followers, those partaking of the New Covenant IMO, was for them to observe the Passover, as He was the Passover Lamb. Nowhere do we see any command to keep Easter, and, in fact, we can see ample condemnation of adopting pagan practises throughout scripture.
