Tofuball,

Are you a member of a messianic Jewish congregation? What are we Gentiles missing?

Yes, and I dont understand the question :)

Is Yom Kippur relevant in a Messianic Congregration? How about Chanukah and Succoth? My church never brings any of this stuff up. What about feasts that the Jews were told to observe forever. If us gentiles are supposed to be grafted into the jewish vine, I think there's a possibility we've missed out on a dinner party or 2.

Colossians 2

Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ. Do not let anyone who delights in false humility and the worship of angels disqualify you for the prize. Such a person goes into great detail about what he has seen, and his unspiritual mind puffs him up with idle notions. He has lost connection with the Head, from whom the whole body, supported and held together by its ligaments and sinews, grows as God causes it to grow.

Ahh now were onto to something. Don't take me wrong. How does Paul come to these conclusions? Is he told this or is this what his assessment is?
Obviously he's correct but how does he get there?

tofu never weighed in too heavily on this, for some reason

Whatcha wanna know? :P

Yes, and they think I'm insane :P

Are you familiar with Aviad Cohen or Michael Brown (ICN Ministries)?

Yes, and they think I'm insane :P

could it be that you were brought up to worship the One true god and somehow tripped out and started worshipping some heretic claiming to stand BETWEEN you and your god ?

Are you familiar with Aviad Cohen or Michael Brown (ICN Ministries)?

Nope?

Nope?

They're both Jewish believers. In my book, any Jewish person who comes to the conclusion that Jesus is the Messiah has an interesting story to tell.

yup, the reasoning that leads one to conclude that the one true god just suddenly decided that all the detailed instructions he gave mankind on how to worship him, and him alone, were no longer good, and instead of worshipping him directly AS the one true god we should now worship somebody else who will worship god FOR us.
