Leviticus 23 is a great launching point. Many blessings to you and yours

Christmas and Easter is NOT pagan influenced. The early church fathers were not against either. Many fathers who supported the festival of Christ’s birth in the first few centuries vigorously opposed pagan accretions, but they had no problem with celebrating Jewish festivals that had been Christianized. There are 4 myths associating Christmas with pagan rituals. 1. Mithras 2. Tammuz 3. Saturnalia 4. Sol Invictus I can explain each. And I can explain who determined the date to celebrate Christ's birth. Zechariah 2:10 Rejoice, for I am coming to live with you. See also Luke 2:8-14 when angels rejoiced at Jesus' birth.

@@robbracken1758 The early church "fathers" didnt have a problem with either because they were the very ones who brought the pagan practices into Christianity in the first place. Stop gaslighting people

I’m still a baby Christian & Tom’s lectures have been such a gift to me. I’ve not finished listening to all his series yet, I’m taking them in order, but I’m already concerned what to do when I run out. There’s so many books still to cover & I’m not confident any other teacher could guide me so well as Tom has! I’ll look into 119 ministries as you recommend though, thank you 🙏

@@shelleyscloud3651 MTOI is also a great resource

My prayers are with you Brother... Your testimony is also a reminder that we must repent every day... Many of us have been going through health problems, both because of age and the "glorious results of a misspent youth"... We have started praying Psalm 91 over us and those we know... May Abba-Yah keep you under His pinions of protection...

You are right , sister in Messiah! Lots of unusual convergences this year. Gregorian leap year, Hebrew calendar leap year, second closely- spaced solar eclipse over the United States. Hold on to our armrests... judgments and prophetic fulfillments are on their way followed by our saviors second coming!

Thank Yahuah. Someone who understands the truth. I've been pointing this out to my Christian friends who think I'm a heretic for saying this. Once I found out the truth, I stopped following the pagan holidays of Easter & Christmas.

So glad for you that Yehovah has shown you the truth! I have family members that are mad and I have no contact with them anymore. It's sad but Yeshua said that he will divide the sheep from the goats. I pray for my family for the truth will be revealed to them. Shalom Shalom

Israel slaugther a lamb on 14 Nissan(always a Wednesday) according to the Biblical calender Yeshua was crusified on 14 Nissan the day before the High Sabbath (Thursday) and risen on the weekly Sabbath. Luke 24. And Matthew states that on the first day of the week they (Mary) found the tomb empty, thus Yeshua already rose. The angel said he HAS risen. 72 hrs after Wednesday 15h00 is Saturday.

Yes the sabbath is listed, but it's not based on the sun and moon. YHWH kept the sabbath on the 7th day of creation, even though the sun and moon were not created until day 4. It's a 7 day count. As described in genesis.

@@mslyontamer5101 hmmmm.. Adam was created on day six. He was an adult. YHWH can create things at any condition he chooses. The sun and moon MAY have been created on day four, but that doesn't say at what stage the moon was in or where the sun was placed in the sky.

That's really stretching to fit the lunar sabbath doctrine. What are your thoughts then on that doctrine interrupting perfect cycles of 7 in order to account for the extra days that inevitably pop up while waiting on the new moon, since the lunar cycle is never a perfect 28 days? How did YHWH instruct the israelites in the wilderness about manna? Did he not instruct them to gather double on the sixth day and none on the sabbath? How would that work out then at the end of the lunar month on day 29 or 30? Add a couple days in and disregard His instructions to count cycles of 7?

Yup, I agree. It's a clock, and every phase occurs exactly 7 days apart starting with the sighting. Moon days are in Scripture! The same verses they use to prove all the Feasts are kept according to the moon are the ones proving Lunar Sabbath! What literally debunks Saturday or Sunday Sabbath is the International date line! There is a 24hour difference just by crossing the line which not only proves our entire calendar is pagan, but they can't create a calendar without a fake line. Is it just a coincidence they start a new day in the most desolate area of the Pacific Ocean in the middle of the night???

We are “Israel” if we believe in Yeshua and follow Yah’s commandments.

I think you mean 7 weeks plus one day = 50. Feast of Weeks begins on Sunday (Firstfruits) ends on a Sunday (Pentacost/Shavuot) with the counting of the Omer (measures of barley) each of the 50 days. Ends with the waving of leavened wheat loaves (representing the Gentiles inclusion). So much symbolism I missed before observing the Moedim 😢.

@@camillemitchell7397 umm... no. Read leviticus 23: 15 and 16 in the Holman translation or in the Scriptures ( institute for scripture research). Both say 7 sabbath's and 50 days. This actually makes sense since there is no variety of wheat that would be ripe in only 7 weeks. Most wheat takes 100 to 120 days to ripen, so a first fruits offering would be around 100 days.

Yeshua was the end of all sacrifice, when Darkness covered the Temple and land, Yehovah broke the Temple front to back making it desolate, Yeshua and His Body are the 3rd Temple

A very staunch "Christian" challenged me once on this very question while he defended the observance of the abominated festivals of men... After responding with this, he never replied back to me... You sacrifice the way you can in absence of the Temple: (Old Testament "substitutes") Psalm 51:16 and 17 - 16For You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it; You take no pleasure in burnt offerings. 17THE SACRIFICES OF GOD ARE a broken spirit; a broken and a contrite heart, O God, You will not despise. (ALWAYS remember WHY Yeshua had to die on the cross. Innocent animals USED to die for sins. But that wasn't good enough. Men treated the sacrifices of animals as a license to sin. So YeHoVaH sent the innocent lamb of GOD for our sins. If it does not slam you to the floor every time you think how Yeshua suffered and died on that cross for you...) 1 Samuel 15:22 - But Samuel declared: "Does the LORD delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obedience to His voice? Behold, OBEDIENCE IS BETTER THAN SACRIFICE, and attentiveness is better than the fat of rams. (Obedience to GOD's Commandments are better than atoning sacrifices for breaking them.) Psalm 107:22 - And let them sacrifice the SACRIFICES OF THANKSGIVING, and declare his works with rejoicing. (Don't ever be embarrassed or afraid to thank YeHoVaH/Yeshua any time or any place. You never know who is listening.) (New Testament "substitutes") Mark 12:33 - And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices. (During the Feasts of YeHoVaH, show love to other people. Help the poor, feed the hungry and comfort the sick) Romans 12:1 - I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is YOUR REASONABLE SERVICE. (During the Feasts of YeHoVaH, show love to other people. Help the poor, feed the hungry and comfort the sick) You make a personal offering to Yeshua, our High-Priest: Matthew 25:40 - And the King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of Mine, you did for Me.’ (During the Feasts of YeHoVaH, show love to other people. Help the poor, feed the hungry and comfort the sick) Matthew 25:45 - Then the King will answer, 'Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for Me.' (During the Feasts of YeHoVaH, show love to other people. Help the poor, feed the hungry and comfort the sick) People can argue over the calendars, that a tent is not a sukkah, that you are not doing the "Seder" correctly... But when it is all said and done, these are not the things that will impress Messiah that much... The Scriptures are quite clear that what I have listed are acceptable sacrifices to GOD... If you do these things and "observe" the Feasts of YeHoVaH the best way you can, the chances of you hearing "Well done good and faithful servant" are infinitely better than someone who only barbecues a lamb, eats a few pieces of matza and sleeps in a "real" sukkah... I hope this helped you... Blessings and Shalom...

@@195409ify "Yeshua was the end of all sacrifice, " Then WHY did the Apostles CONTINUE to make sacrifices after the ascension of Yeshua into Heaven? 1 Corinthians 11:1 - Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ. -Paul says we are to imitate him like he did Christ, so lets see what Paul did. Here are examples of 5 of the 7 feasts being kept. Day of Pentecost Acts 2:2 When the Day of Shavuot (Pentecost) had fully come, they were all with one accord[a] in one place. -How did they receive the holy spirit after Yeshua ascended? They were observing the Day of Shavuot that Sunday. Acts 20:16 - 16 For Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus, so that he would not have to spend time in Asia; for he was hurrying to be at Jerusalem, if possible, on the Day of Shavuot (Pentecost). -Paul was hurrying to observe this feast and Jesus has been dead for years. 1 Corinthians 16:8 - But I will tarry in Ephesus until Shavuot (Pentecost). -Paul is keeping this feast in Ephesus. Passover and Unleavened Bread Acts 20:6 - 6 But we sailed away from Philippi after the Days of Unleavened Bread, and in five days joined them at Troas, where we stayed seven days. -Why even mention Unleavened Bread, if it was abolished and no longer being observed? Acts 12:1 through 4 - 1 Now about that time Herod the king stretched out his hand to harass some from the church. 2 Then he killed James the brother of John with the sword. 3 And because he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to seize Peter also. Now it was during the Days of Unleavened Bread. 4 So when he had arrested him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four squads of soldiers to keep him, intending to bring him before the people after Passover.-Verse 3 shows that they were keeping the Passover and Unleavened Bread. 1 Corinthians 5:7 through 8 - 7 Therefore purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, since you truly are unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed for us.[a] 8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. -Paul here is telling the New Testament Christians to keep the Passover and Unleavened bread, 1 Corinthians 11:23 through 25 - 23 For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread; 24 and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “Take, eat;[a] this is My body which is broken[b] for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” 25 In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.” -Paul is describing the New Testament Passover service, that Jesus established with His disciples on the night before His crucifixion. From the above passages we see that Paul commanded the Gentiles in the city of Corinth to keep Gods Holy Days. Acts 12:1 through 4 - 1Now about that time Herod the king stretched out his hand to harass some from the church. 2 Then he killed James the brother of John with the sword. 3 And because he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to seize Peter also. Now it was during the Days of Unleavened Bread. 4 So when he had arrested him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four squads of soldiers to keep him, intending to bring him before the people after Passover. -Verse 3 shows that they were keeping the Passover and Unleavened bread, Feast of Tabernacles Acts 18:20 and 21 - 20 When they asked him to stay a longer time with them, he did not consent, 21 but took leave of them, saying, “I must by all means keep this coming feast in Jerusalem; but I will return again to you, God willing.” And he sailed from Ephesus. The Day of Atonement Acts 27:9 through 10 - 9 Now when much time had been spent, and sailing was now dangerous because the Fast was already over, Paul advised them, 10 saying, “Men, I perceive that this voyage will end with disaster and much loss, not only of the cargo and ship, but also our lives.” -Paul is referring to the Fast on the Day of Atonement. Luke wrote the book of Acts many years after Christ’s death and he referred to the Day of Atonement calling it the “Fast”, So why was Paul still observing all of these Feasts years after Yeshua's Ascension, if the sacrifices were abolished and no longer needed? Wouldn't Paul have received the revelations on the road to Damascus, when Jesus revealed himself to him that they were no longer needed? Paul was a Pharisee. He was one of the most learned men among the disciples. If he kept the feast days after Christ there was a reason for it. Of course there are some people who think everything in Jewish practice was abolished after Yeshua arose from the grave. That's not true either. Not all sacrifices were "Sin Sacrifices"... There were "wave offerings" (for Shavuot) There were "friendship offerings"... And there were also sacrifices to complete vows (Nazarene Vows)... "Yeshua and His Body are the 3rd Temple" So what you are saying is that the Anti-Messiah will sit inside of Yeshua? 2 Thessalonians 2:4 - He will oppose and exalt himself above every so-called god or object of worship. So he will seat himself in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God.

The animal sacrifices are no longer necessary. The person is to be the sacrifice instead, spiritually speaking of course.

What you say is paganism and is not from scripture. It’s idolatry, but then so is much Christian teachings today. Go to the Word! Jesus is the Word of God in flesh! John 1:1,14 And the celebration of the birthday of the sungod is 25/12. The fertility god was celebrated at the start of spring with eggs and bunnies! Has had many names but Easter is derived from those names. It’s very obvious.

@@moiraravji5070 Wrong. Misinformation. AGAIN, Ishtar's symbolism relates to an 8 pointed star and a lion, NOT bunnies. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_of_Ishtar And Ishtar was killed by her sister. AGAIN, Alexander Hislop wrote a pamphlet in 1853 called The Two Babylons to which he attempted to display the Catholic church as Babylon It's all from there. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Hislop Dig deeper.

@@moiraravji5070 IF, you cared to dig deeper, you would notice that the Geneva Bible, the Complete Jewish Bible (CJB), and Young's Literal Translation (YLT) all use the original word for Passover in Acts 12:4. The KJV uses the Textus Receptus from Erasmus which translated the Greek word for Passover into a relatively new (at the time) English word to distictive as the Resurrection separated from the Passover in Acts 12:4. Dig deeper. The pagan god that you can't name you are referring to is Mithras. There's no evidence that Mithras had a 'birthday' until the 4th century (at least 200 years after Christmas had been celebrated on December 25th) or any evidence that the 'birth of Mithras' was celebrated on December 25th! (There's also evidence that 'Sol Invictus' might also have happened in October and not December anyway.)

Romans celebrated their sun god, Sol Invictus, on Dec. 25.

@@Grateful4Grace777 The Roman Emperor Aurelian established a feast of the birth of Sol Invictus (the Unconquered Sun), on this date in 274 CE. We know from historical records that the early church recognized the birth of Jesus as early as 125 AD. And as Jesus taught John, John taught Polycarp, who taught Irenaeus, who taught Hippolytus of Rome. Irenaeus and Hippolytus stood to reason the Creation occurred at the time of the spring equinox, or March 25. They also believed Mary was conceived on that same day, equally a ‘new’ creation in Jesus. Adding nine months of pregnancy, we come to December 25. Hippolytus stated this in 204 AD while Christianity was still illegal. Julius Sextus Africanus, another early church father who wrote The Chronology, about the world’s events up to the present time, also considered Mary’s conception to have occurred on March 25th, and published in 217 AD. To summarize, we know the church recognized the birth of Jesus as early as 125 AD. We know that an Apostolic Father in the lineage of John the Apostle named Hippolytus considered the birth of Jesus in 204 AD. And 17 years later, Julius Sextus Africanus published a book with that same conclusion, FIFTY THREE YEARS BEFORE ROME ADOPTED THE DATE FOR THEIR pagan god. Therefore, Rome was influenced by Christianity, not the other way around.
