Your stunning ignorance of things Biblical is surpassed only by the unBiblical manner in which you display it.

"You really love that book don't Eccl. These laws were given to a people who rejected God for FOREIGN Gods,..."

Just as with any demographic (see the Parable of the Sower),
there are those of God's Chosen People who were faithful to God, and those who weren't. In case you missed it, every book of the Bible is written by a Jew. All the Apostles are Jews, and, oh yeah, Jesus was a Jew.

"but retained the "festivals" of Judaism as "ritual only"."

Carefully read the book of John. If you do, you will see Jesus kept the Feasts, including the one from which believers take Communion, and the one from which Easter was invented to distract believers from - Passover.

"If you had bothered to read the meaning of the words in the Bible, you would not have written that ridiculous reply to my post."

I'm sorry you find the Bible ridiculous.

"By your response though, it kinda tells me that you may qualify as one of the people whom God is "rebuking" for their "idolitrous" and rebellious living."

On the contrary, I am blessed by God in far more ways than I deserve. And did God tell you what He is thinking about me and my "idolitrous" (sic) living? I'll bet not.

Merry Christmas. Try to meditate on the meaning of the Cross, other than watching it burn on some heathen's front lawn.

the content of your response to my post is not worth responding to. Your arrogance is so stuck to you, nothing could get through to you that EVEN YOU, YES, EVEN YOU dear sir need Salvation through the Cross of Jesus Christ. You've already stated silently in your post,"Don't confuse me with facts, I already believe MY INTERPRETATION of the Bible". So be it. Continue on your merry deceived way. To me, Salvation comes ONLY through receiving Jesus Christ as Savior, Lord and God the Father's Sacrificial Lamb for the sin of mankind. You can't earn it through observances, works, wishful thinking. It is a "FREE GIFT" from the Heavenly Father to mankind, and received through FAITH.
