“It’s not spamming to keep repeating what a word means.”
It is when you were already proven wrong, and you won’t even respond to that proof.
“Attacking the food laws of Christ probably isn’t something you should do. You profess to follow him.’
*YAWN*
“If any of them that believe not bid you to a feast, and ye be disposed to go; whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no question for conscience sake. But if any man say unto you, This is offered in sacrifice unto idols, eat not for his sake that shewed it, and for conscience sake: for the earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof: Conscience, I say, not thine own, but of the other: for why is my liberty judged of another man’s conscience? For if I by grace be a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks? Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.”
(1Co 10:27-31)
“Jesus Christ, the Lord, says these are HIS feasts. Feel free to blaspheme the Lord Jesus Christ and his feast days.”
Says the guy who thinks he’s going to become a God of his own planet after he dies:
“By a resurrection, we become born God personages — personages just as our God the Father and Christ the Son! We shall have the entire universe put beneath our feet (Hebrews 2:8).” (Herbert Armstrong, The Plain Truth (September 1980): 40)
As for feast days:
“One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.”
(Rom 14:5-6)
“Really? The verse clearly says what it says and are you so desperate to have it mean what you think it should that you have to quote a non-believer’s opinion”
Actually, Uzziel is a famous Rabbi (though the Jews of today do not read him) from before the time of Christ by about 30 years. He was a believer, unlike you.
” I’ll take that as meaning the bible doesn’t agree with you.”
Says the spammy cult-guy who can’t even explain how an annihilated person can “neither rest day nor night” with their torment ascending up “forever”, in a place of suffering where their “worm dieth not” and where “he opened up his eyes, in torment.”
I guess you’ll believe though once you get there.
“Sorry, I’ll stick with Jesus.”
You mean the pagan Jesus. I’ll keep the Christian Jesus.
Paul is addressing the issue of whether or not Christians should eat otherwise clean meat that had been sacrificed to idols and then later sold in the meat market. Was it acceptable? Paul left it up to the conscience of the person. He addresses this same topic a number of times in his letters. The fact that you're not aware of it is understandable.

You do know Herbert Armstrong has been dead for almost 30 years and was dead for almost a decade before United was formed...right?
As for feast days: “One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.” (Rom 14:5-6),
You really should look more at what the words say rather then putting just accepting the traditional spin on it. Romans 14 is about food, not holy days. The verse you quoted does not mention the holy days of the Lord, which in scripture are always called by the term "heorte" (transliterated from greek). For example:
1Co 5:8 Therefore let us keep the feast (heortazo), not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
In other words, Paul tells his congregation, a congregation composed of gentile and jewish Christians....to keep the feast of the Lord. That is the only meaning of heortazo. But neither heortazo nor heorte is found in romans 14.
Since Paul absolutely affirms that he and his congregations were keeping the feast days of the Lord Jesus Christ you really should re-think your interpretation of Roman 14:5,6.
Actually, Uzziel is a famous Rabbi (though the Jews of today do not read him) from before the time of Christ by about 30 years. He was a believer, unlike you.
Unlike me he couldn't have believed in Christ since he was from before the time of Christ.
Look, it's no shame to admit that you believe what you believe because you pick tradition over Christ and scripture. It is what it is.
What happened was that in the first century Judea revolted against the Roman empire three times. Because of this Jewish hatred was rampant in the Roman empire. Anything or anybody that even "looked" Jewish was persecuted and demeaned. As a result some early Christians began to distance themselves from the biblical teachings of Christ and invented their own stories of why these things didn't apply to them. They substituted man made holidays for biblical holy days. They gladly starting eating pork and other foods prohibited by the Lord to "prove" they weren't Jewish. As a result there was an entire branch of Christianity descended from those who couldn't take the heat of persecution for their beliefs and so decided to save their own skins by foregoing the commandments of the Lord Jesus Christ.
