&lt;br /&gt;
What most people do not realize is that both christmas and easter were pagan holidays long before Messiah Yeshua was born in Bethlehem.&amp;nbsp; In fact, God sent the prophet Ezekiel (Ezekiel chapter 8) to warn the Priests in the Holy Temple to stop their pagan ways and to turn back to Him.&amp;nbsp; the description of some of their abominations were &#39;weeping for tammuz&#39; (tammuz is also known as ba-al) which is the &quot;christian&quot; lent, baking bread for tammuz (hot cross buns) and easter sunrise service.&amp;nbsp; All of which God called an abomination.&amp;nbsp; Instead of repenting, the Priests told Ezekiel &quot;Go away, Ezekiel, we will worship God OUR way&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Back during the Exodus, when Moses went up to Mt. Sinai, Aaron and all of Israel tried to worship God with a golden calf and God nearly destroyed them for it.&amp;nbsp; God gave the feasts He wants kept`and it isn&#39;t christmas or easter.&amp;nbsp; God wants to be worshiped the way He told us to worship Him.&amp;nbsp; he finds the paganism and traditions man has incorporated to be an abomination.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So why do people call themselves Christians when they refuse to worship God the way He wants to be worshiped and demand to worship Him the way they FEEL is right?&amp;nbsp; The bible is available to all and they can read just as clearly what God wants of them.&amp;nbsp; Instead of choosing to follow God the way He wants to be followed, they flock to pastors and religious leaders that make them feel good about themselves.&amp;nbsp; They do not think and they go with what feels right to them.&amp;nbsp; Messiah Yeshua said He will reject these false Christians because they do not follow God:&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
It was not until I went away to college that I read the bible straight through for the first time.&amp;nbsp; Yes, I read the bible but I read it jumping from passage to passage just like the pastor taught.&amp;nbsp; Once I read the bible through, I realized the reason the pastors skipped around to selected passages was so they can get around the false doctrine they teach every sunday from the pulpit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For example:&amp;nbsp; There is no place in the bible that teaches the Sabbath is no longer to be kept.&amp;nbsp; In fact, Yeshua (Jesus) and all of His disciples kept the Sabbath.&amp;nbsp; The only disagreements they had about keeping it is whether or not they should keep all the man made rules the rabbis put on the people.&amp;nbsp; Yeshua taught it was to be kept as a day of rest but not as a curse of having to obey all the extra traditions and customs.&amp;nbsp; Even after Messiah&#39;s resurrection and ascension His disciples continued to observe the Sabbath as He had taught them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mainstream &quot;christians&quot; love to say that &quot;God is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow&quot;.&amp;nbsp; Since God commanded the Jewish people to keep the Sabbath (in fact, it was kept before the Ten Commandments were given to Moses) [yesterday] and since during the Millennium Reign of Messiah Yeshua the Sabbath will be kept [tomorrow] does it not stand to reason that the Sabbath is for today as well?&amp;nbsp; Or is God only the same yesterday and tomorrow but changed for today? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another item I noticed is that Yeshua spoke against the hand washing ritual the rabbis placed on the people.&amp;nbsp; Some bible versions end with the verse &quot;thus He declared all meats clean&quot;.&amp;nbsp; Mainstream Christians use this as a justification for them to eat pork and shellfish (&quot;Jesus said we can when He declared all meats clean&quot;)&amp;nbsp; yet they fail to see that as a Jew living in Israel, Messiah would never have considered pork or shellfish to be a meat just as we, in the United States, do not consider cats, dogs, or lions to be meat.&amp;nbsp; In the old testament God said eating pork and shellfish was an abomination to Him.&amp;nbsp; If he is the same &quot;Yesterday, today, and tomorrow&quot; then obviously it is still an abomination to Him today.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://christian-intj.blogspot.com/feeds/754239288277060220/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://christian-intj.blogspot.com/2011/05/intjs-view-of-messiah-yeshua-jesus.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8622243531051760239/posts/default/754239288277060220'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8622243531051760239/posts/default/754239288277060220'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://christian-intj.blogspot.com/2011/05/intjs-view-of-messiah-yeshua-jesus.html' title='One INTJ&#39;s view of Messiah Yeshua (Jesus)'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
