The festivals were for the Jewish people only that is why.

"The festivals were for the Jewish people only that is why."

Absolutely right Biggirl.

"Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink, or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath. These are a shadow of the things to come, but the substance belongs to Christ." Col. 2:16-17

End of story.

That's not what scripture says:

Joh 12:20 Now there were certain Greeks among those who came up to worship at the feast.

Greeks aren't Jews. Yet here they were, in biblical times, observing the very same days that Jesus created and kept.

Isa 56:6 "Also the sons of the foreigner Who join themselves to the LORD, to serve Him, And to love the name of the LORD, to be His servants— Everyone who keeps from defiling the Sabbath, And holds fast My covenant—
Isa 56:7 Even them I will bring to My holy mountain, And make them joyful in My house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices Will be accepted on My altar; For My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations."

"Sons of foreigners" are not Jews. God says that if non-Jews observe his sabbaths...and his holy days ARE sabbaths...then his house shall be called a house of prayer for ALL nations...not just the jewish nation.

No, there the notion that the holy days of Jesus Christ are just for Jews is built strictly on mistaken tradition.

Besides WHY are they only for the Jews IF we have Christian liberty to worship on any days we want? Do you believe that?

Do you have a scripture that will back up that statement?
