Cheri, you wonder why is everyone so concerned about observances that were not spoken of by God. You mean like the reference John wrote concerning Jesus during man-created and ordained "Hanukkah" (John 10.22)? (To name one of many.) Remember in 2 Mac. 10:8 “They (meaning the Jews NOT God) ordained also by common statute and decree that every year those days should be kept of the whole nation of the Jews.” Two Hundred years later the Jews were still celebrating their man-decreed “religious holiday” - much the same as they do 2,000 years later. Or, to put it in Gentile terms -"forever". That’s interesting – don’t you think? Me too. Shalom! T'oma |

Shabbat Shalom T'oma Actually, I was speaking more of Shabbat, Sukkot, etc., the feasts and observances found in Lev., not Chanukkah (that one was indeed man created). Those (found in the Torah) were instigated by the Lord and to be observed forever. Cheri |

Cheri, not that it matters but I noticed you changed the spelling of Hanukkah to one of the many other English spellings. I trust it wasn't because you felt I misspelled it myself. :) Like my Hebrew name T'oma - English doesn't have the correct letters to sound out proper Hebrew. Anyways, it made me chuckle. As far as keeping the OT - my wife and I just returned from the East Coast in the United States. We practiced Deut 14:22-27's principle of tithing. Hopfully, you also enjoy giving to yourself as commanded. Blessings! |

Shalom T'oma, I didn't recognize your name as Hebrew, what does it mean? And no, I didn't think you spelled Chanukkah wrong - I know some spell it and pronounce it with a chet and some with a hei - I actually don't know which way is correct. Glad you got a laugh - I'm from Atlanta Ga and you can really tell it when I'm trying to pronounce Hebrew words, it's a riot. And yes, to the best of one's ability, I am Torah-observant. Cheri |
