I have recently begun to embrace the Lord’s feasts. Coming out of the mixture of the traditions of Churchianity has set me free!!!
And the reason so many who I know are unfufilled in the body is because of the misdirection this mixture has led us into. The whole church model has deffinitely lost its first intention.
Still I wonder why we would embrace Easter when Passover is an awesome time in the Lord. Passover being the death of Messiah and First Fruits two days later which is the resurection. To celebrate as prescribed in the word of God by the Lord himself.
Pentacost the first fruits celebration and Tabernacles which is said to be the estimated time of the actual coming of Messiah in the manger.
It trips me out that we would adopt these pagan (grosley evil and considered though by God) appointments. When God set these times to be observed for generation after generation.
Come on let’s come out of Babylon.
Are we serving God himself or church?
Bad roots equals bad fruit, let’s cut off the tree of mixture that God from the begining has stated his position on, And return to the Lord!

Hi, an excellent alternative to Viola's book is "The Ancient Church As Family" by Dr. Joe Hellerman. His work is well researched and addresses many of the "pagan" influences on our faith. Dr. Hellerman's contribution is a blend of good history AND respectful discourse.
