I like Perry, and if I happen to land on his program when surfing the channels I stop and watch a while. I never could figure out why he seems to spend most of his time and efforts on the old Hebrew Feast Days and The Tabernacle; donning a Prayer Shawl, etc. I don’t get it.
My thought has always been that if it were important that Christians bone up on those things and wear a Prayer Shawl, etc., the apostle Paul would have hammered on them pretty hard; which HE DID NOT. In Romans 14 he seems to be saying that honoring one day above another is not forbidden or wrong, but neither is it necessary.
In fact, in Galatians Chapter 1, and pretty much the entire epistle, he went to great lengths to pound it into their heads and hearts that the religion of WORKS was over and done. He called it “the Jews’ religion.” Therefore, I don’t quite know how to take Brutha Stone’s operation.

Because that is biblical Christianity as Christ defined it. He did command that we pray in our “closet” which is the shawl, and the feasts are prophecies of comming events WRT to Christ and his coming, which are to be observed “until all things are accomplished,” which is a long way in the future.
The entire New Testament consists of descriptions of Christians observing the feasts. Every convocation of the believers that is mentioned is one of the feasts. If you do not understand the feasts, you will not know when to look for his coming; you will be like the “foolish virgins,” who were not prepared for the groom’s return.
The only feast that is fulfilled is Pasach, and the next one will be the Rapture feast, Pentecost (first Fruits). Do you know when to look for it, (hint: it will be a Sabbath year) and what you are to be doing?
You might also re-read Galatians, and get it straight; he didn’t call anything “the Jews religion.”
