I’m not a “judaizer,” nor non trinitarian, I’m a follower of God’s word.

Since you are ignorant of Christian beliefs, and worship, you try to judge us by pagan catholic beliefs, and you are always wrong when you do that.

All first century Christians observed YHWH’s appointed times; read Paul’s epistles, they are all about those observances, every one of them. They especially emphasized Passover, but every convocation mentioned in the epistles was one of the appointed feasts. You have to put on some mighty dark glasses to miss that point.

Your post 266 says otherwise.

nor non trinitarian

That's not what you have said in the past. You have posted against Nicea and the Nicene Creed numerous times.

I’m a follower of God’s word.

Do you count out Acts 15, which I have posted to you?

All first century Christians observed YHWH’s appointed times

1 Corinthians 16:2, and Acts 20:7 show that the transition from the predominantly Jewish Church to a predominantly Gentile Church started almost immediately. And Paul was a big part of it. Revelation 1:10 - the Lord's Day - is Sunday, not Saturday. It is true that the complete transition did not happen for some time, and it took the Council at Laodicea to finally formalize it, but the fact is that the transition started immediately.

Paul, a cultural and upper class Jew, who spent most of his missionary time with the Jews, necessarily observed Jewish holy days. Yet he was in the forefront (along with Peter) of pushing the transition away from Judaism. Pharasaical Judaism sealed the break with the hypothetical Council of Jamnia in which they declared Christianity a Jewish heresy and that Jews would have nothing further to do with Christians.

Scripture and history both are very clear on the subject. The Jews are the elder brothers of the Christians and they are God's Chosen people. We are not Jews; we are grafted in, but if you know anything about such matters, the branches grafted in, although they are attached to the same trunk and root (God), are not the same. You may have apples and pears on the same tree. You may have red and white grapes on the same vine.

Christians are not Jews. Scripture (including the Scripture I have posted and probably will again) is clear.

"I’m not a “judaizer,” nor non trinitarian, I’m a follower of God’s word."

I would really like to believe you, but I have doubts. Can you point to the fruits of the Holy Spirit in your posting history?

“ Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter." - Matthew 7:21

“Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree bad and its fruit bad; for the tree is known by its fruit. - Matthew 12:33

For each tree is known by its own fruit. For men do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they pick grapes from a briar bush. - Luke 6:44
