Ask The Pastor

June 27, 2001

Dominic,

Your questions:

> Dear pastor,firstly, are you affiliated with any "organised religion",

We are a non-denominational ministry.

> secondly, as a christian and having recently discovered the pagan
> histories of our modern easter and christmas celebrations, I am very
> keen to find out the actual dates in which the various feasts are to be
> celebrated as set down by the bible in the old testiment. I have never
> beleived in the continuation of the abomination of santa and the easter
> bunny and having discovered their exact histories, would like to start
> adhering to the actual feasts as laid down by god. The problem I face is
> that I understand the old jewish calender varies from year to year and
> know of nobody who could help specify these dates... could you please
> assist me in the actual dates of all feasts as laid down in the
> bible.... kind regards and may god be with you always..... Dominic

This is a difficult area for the simple reason that the feasts cannot be observed Biblically any longer. You can set aside the days as you wish, but to observe them properly you would have to live in Israel during second temple Judaism. Once the temple was destroyed, this did away with the ability to celebrate the feast properly.

As for the Bible dates, I can't help you on that one. Sorry. But I do agree that Santa Claus and the Easter bunny come right out of pagan idolatry.

In Christ,

Buddy
