Are Christians allowed to practice Jewish feasts and fasts after the coming of Christ?
Well this question looks like it is gaslighting to me. But anyway I will answer. I will go through this methodically.
Are Christians allowed to follow to practice Jewish Feasts and fasts after the coming of Christ? A few comments.
1) As I have stated clearly earlier they are not "Jewish Feasts" they are Yahweh's feasts.
NKJ Leviticus 23:2 "Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them:`The feasts of the LORD, which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, these are My feasts.
Leviticus reveals they are not Jewish they are Yahweh's feast, as the commandment was for Israel and the mixed multitude.
NKJ Exodus 12:49 "One law shall be for the native-born and for the stranger who dwells among you."
NKJ Numbers 15:16 `One law and one custom shall be for you and for the stranger who dwells with you.'"
By two or three witnesses let every matter or word be established.
Christ or as I prefer to refer to Him as Messiah (meaning anointed one) is Jewish (what I mean by Jewish is that He was born of the House of David from the Tribe of Judah) and went to synagogue as His custom was and kept the feasts.
The disciples and apostles definitely kept the feasts and fasted as this is found all through the epistles especially Acts! They were Israelites.
Yeshua himself said the following
NKJ John 14:15 "If you love Me, keep My commandments.
There was no New Testament when this was written, there were only ever one lot of commandments and the feasts are part of those commandments.
Yeshua also said directly quoting Deut 8:5
.....that He might make you know that man shall not live by bread alone; but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the LORD.
NKJ Matthew 4:4 But He answered and said, "It is written,`Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.'"
Again when Yeshua said this the New Testament was not written. So, what was the word of God? The only word they had was the Hebrew scriptures again with the feasts found all through them.
Yes absolutely we fast as we see the discussion that John's disciples fasted and through Paul's epistles there is much discussion on fasting. Yeshua Himself said that there is no need to fast while the bridegroom was with you. But when he is not you are to fast.
Some demons can only be cast out by prayer and fasting.
In summary we are absolutely able to observe YAHWEH'S feasts and fast. But these things do not save you they BLESS YOU! You can only be redeemed by the blood of Yeshua our Messiah as the remission of sins can only be by innocent blood that's what my Bible says. Yeshua and the 1st Century disciples all observed the feasts and fasted.
It is not until the man made Denominations really taking hold in the 4th - 6th centuries and well beyond those times that certain organizations and men create their own doctrines and theologies which is rooted in Antisemitism which redefined and took away and abolished anything "Jewish" to do with the New Testament. None of the common folk had scriptures and it was spoken and preached in Latin which was beyond the common folk. This is one reason how the scriptures and interpretations were changed as because they were not understood by the common folk there could be no challenge to what was being taught. This is why Yeshua says in the end times I will restore all things and part of that is the understanding of the scriptures from the perspective and the intent of the original authors who were inspired by the Holy Spirit, who were all Hebrews living in a Hebrew culture with a Hebrew mindset and worldview.
MAN SHALL NOT LIVE BY BREAD ALONE BUT BY EVERY WORD OF YAHWEH not my words His. Every word of Yahweh means from Genesis through to Revelation with no contradictions!
Shalom
