According to Galations 3:29: “If ye are Christ’s, then you are<br />

Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.” True Christians<br />

are New Testament spiritual Jews. The natural Jews were given the<br />

correct order for God’s kingdom, but their leadership did not have the<br />

right heart attitude, so God looked to the Gentiles (see Rom 9-11). The<br />

true Church since Jesus (spiritual Jews) have been given the right Spirit<br />

(heart attitude) but we totally lack the proper order. This is due mostly<br />

because the early Church severed herself from her Jewish roots in order<br />

to compromise with the pagan traditions and bring in more “converts.”<br />

Because I celebrate the Lord’s Feast days, people have accused me of<br />

being led by rituals and wasting my time. But rituals in themselves are<br />

not bad. Rather it is when we start putting our trust in the rituals that it<br />

becomes sin. Any time we meet together on a larger scale with other<br />

believers, there will have to be some kind of structure (ritual) as to how<br />

you will share and worship. Why not follow the order for meeting that<br />

the Scriptures give? The Jews were given the divine order of worship,<br />

not Constantine and the Catholic church from which most of the<br />

modern day church derives its order of worship. We celebrate<br />

birthday’s and the 4th of July and Thanksgiving, and there is nothing<br />

wrong with this. So, how much more should we celebrate and honor<br />

days that are special to God? Far from a waste of time, it is the best<br />

way to honor God with our time. One day soon, the whole earth will be<br />

celebrating these days. Why not get a head start on everyone!<br />

When Israel became a nation in 1948 the Church had to re-think her<br />

“replacement theology” where she said the Gentile church had totally<br />

replaced the natural Jewish people as God’s chosen. Paul in Romans<br />

11:1 says that God has not cast away the Jewish people. Since 1967<br />

when Jerusalem was captured by Israel, there have been thousands of<br />

Jewish people who have come to know Yahoshua (Jesus) as the<br />

Messiah. These Jewish believers are being led by the Holy Spirit to<br />

still keep the Feasts as part of their faith in Jesus. They have a definite<br />

contribution to make to the Bride of Christ before Jesus returns, but<br />

who is listening?<br />

The “Jewish questions” are not going to go away, and they will be a<br />

stumbling block for many believers in our generation, just like allowing<br />

the Gentiles to come into the Church in the first century was a<br />
