you know where I stand on this :)
I believe that Christ was the fulfillment of the feasts in the Old Testament. He is our Passover Lamb and the Passover feast in the OT was a foreshadow of the truth found in Christ. As Christians, if we observe the feasts we do not have a true understanding of what Christ did on the Cross. He did, however, give us a new feast to observe until His return and that is the Lord's Supper. Don't confuse this with the Passover from the OT, because they are not the same.

Thanks for the ping, DouglasKC.

Just to get my opinion out of the way since most of you won't agree anyway, Jesus told His disciples and they continued teaching the early church to partake of bread and wine but there was a deadline for this observance which I believe has long since passed. This is an excellent example of how "a little leaven leavens the whole lump". Your view on one doctrine can effect many others even to the point of being lost.
1 Corinthians 11:26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.

LOL...I thought you would say that...
But what I don't understand is that this IS the original "Lord's Supper". Here's where it began. Jesus instituted it at the Passover meal and introduced new symbols to commemerate his passover, the bread and the wine. He even instructed us to do these things in remembrance...
