As an African American, I am often amused at how excited others can be about my perceived culture...<BR/><BR/>Thank you for considering my question. Even if you don't use it, I'd love some guidance on finding information about Hanukkah and it's significance...J.G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14942029680250098953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6836835.post-16658991801461530712008-06-26T10:33:00.000-05:002008-06-26T10:33:00.000-05:00@Pam, sounds like there are a few questions in the...@Pam, sounds like there are a few questions in there. Thanks, I'll pose them to Derek.<BR/><BR/>@ J. Gabrielle,<BR/><BR/>It's good to laugh, isn't it? I'm glad I got an "LOL" out of you. :-)<BR/><BR/>I'll keep your question about Hanukkah in my notes and may use them in the interview. Thanks.<BR/><BR/>@Dorla, <BR/><BR/>Glad to hear Derek's Feast study helped you out.

I say stumble upon because my church NEVER EVER has mentioned anything about it. Or could it be that I was not paying attention? Well, maybe they do say that they are not necessary anymore... Anyway, it has been a blessing to celebrate God through the feasts. And to learn of his redemptive plan through them.<BR/><BR/>Two months ago a group of friends and I completed Derek Lemans "Feasts" and it was like not other Bible study we have experienced.<BR/><BR/>We have always kept the Sabbath, but after this study on the feasts, we now celebrate Sabbath!<BR/><BR/>I will go back and check my book...I know I have more than one question.<BR/>DorlaDorlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10915416666786610337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6836835.post-21053479030211791912008-06-25T15:21:00.000-05:002008-06-25T15:21:00.000-05:00"Here's your chance to ask a Real Live Messianic R..."Here's your chance to ask a Real Live Messianic Rabbi"<BR/>Judah I must admit, this made me laugh out loud...<BR/><BR/>I am interested in learning more about the feast in general, as I know they are all related to the Messiah...<BR/>I knew that Christmas falls on the winter solstice, but I didn't know the extent of it's paganism, or that Easter (Ishtar) is the name of a pagan goddess...I did some research on the origins of these two holidays last December, after my house was already decorated for Christmas. Being greatly disturbed, I prayed about it, and asked the Lord for help...He led me to remove some things from my apartment, namely anything that symbolized winter or any personified image (i.e. reindeer, snowmen, etc.)<BR/><BR/>This year, I believe I will let the Holy Spirit guide me in my celebrations...<BR/>I see from the New Testament that Jesus celebrated Hanukkah, perhaps the Rabbi can explain the significance of that holiday?J.G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14942029680250098953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6836835.post-81279600540854746742008-06-25T14:06:00.000-05:002008-06-25T14:06:00.000-05:00The question I have is...if I start doing this do ...The question I have is...if I start doing this do I have to cook?<BR/>:0(<BR/><BR/>I want to think about this and come back to it when I have more time but you know, I'm pretty much a person to whom one day is like another and holidays interupt my routine and make a lot more work for me and it is usually work I don't enjoy that much, like cooking. People who are into Christmas would call me a Scrouge. It was easy for me to bag the pagan celebrations but in honesty, this is probably one reason that I drag my feet on adopting Jewish holidays. I also don't think it is necessary so I lack motivation. I know that in the Kingdom, if there are holidays to celebrate, they will be the Jewish feasts and festivals but I'm hoping that when I am glorified, I won't have to coook, clean, or clean up after.<BR/><BR/>:0/joyindestructiblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04102993777959664280noreply@blogger.com
