There is no church or holiday calendar in the Scriptures at all. Testament actually derides “holy” days (Colossians chapter 2).

Scripture does no such thing. 2 Colossians speaks of Jewish secular festival days and sabbaths as no longer being obligatory, not Holy Days, like the Lord's Day, and much to the chagrin of you linguistic literalists, you won't find the words Trinity, Incarnation or Bible in Scripture either. Paul in no way refutes the Third Commandment.

"Let no man therefore judge you in meat or in drink, or in respect of a festival day, or of the new moon, or of the sabbaths," Colossians 2:16

I observe the Resurrection every time I preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Good for you but you'd better take another look at chapter 11 of First Corinthians and not lose sight of the Crucifixion, for without it there is no Resurrection.

"For as often as you shall eat this bread, and drink the chalice, you shall shew the death of the Lord, until he come." 1 Corinthians 11:26

So, Scripture is or is not your authority. You don't like literal interpretation, so it must not be. Alright, you believe that Colossians ch. 2 only frees the believer from JEWISH feast day obligation. So, where in the NT is there any obligation to the ones you happen to obligate yourself to.

My comment about observance of the Resurrection had to do with another's question specifically regarding EASTER. It was not a denial of the Crucifxion. You took my answer incorrectly without going back to look at why I gave that answer.

Do you personally and regularly deal with sinners about the Cross, the Blood of Christ, as well as the Resurrection of Christ?
