And it is impossible to have a Passover today without imposing the traditions of men on the activity. God left no rules for how to keep an ersatz Passover.

If you knew those "traditions of men" you would know what Matthew 27 is all about. And yes, "keeping Passover" is impossible in its fullest sense, but if you knew the Torah you would know that remembering what cannot be observed because of obedience to another command (not offering outside of the Temple) is considered obedience. I am assuming that you never read Numbers 9? G-d is well-pleased with those who make every effort to obey Him.

And if you knew the Torah (yes, it is called the Law of Moses, but most often outside of the biblical context it is used to promote the idea that it is NOT the Law of G-d), you would know that after the first Passover is where G-d made it clear that it would never be permitted again outside of the Tabernacle/Temple.

As for "observance" - we do make every effort to keep the commandments of G-d. Do we fail in that sometimes? Of course. So did David, and yet his love for the Law of Moses is an embarrassment that must be recast by Supercessionists when read in Psalms 1, Psalms 19, Psalms 119 etc.

So when was the last time you kept the eternal Feast of the L-RD of Yom T'ruah? [Feast of Trumpets"]. It isn't a tradition of men - but an eternal appointment with the Almighty. So, tell me why don't you keep that? No Temple needed for that... And after all, Jesus kept it... Why don't you honor Scripture that way? Did Jesus tell you not to?

Come again.

G-d is well-pleased with those who make every effort to obey Him.

Even if it means inventing traditions that He has not authorized. I believe that is what got the Pharisees into so much trouble with Jesus. They tried to be holier than the Law.

I guess Deut. 4:2 isn't in your Bible.

As for "observance" - we do make every effort to keep the commandments of G-d.

According to the traditions of men.

Why should I be made to carry your self-imposed burden? I do not need to. That is the blessing of the gospel. Jesus kept the Law perfectly and has fulfilled all the old covenant ceremonies, since there only purpose was to point to Him. They were but shadows and have passed away (Col. 2:16,17; Heb. 8:13).

I do not labor under the same misunderstanding that you do regarding ceremonial law keeping and the new covenant.
