But what weapons can you use to dispossess someone who will not accept anything except Holy Scripture interpreted according to his own rules?...Where Lutheranism reigns, learning dies. They seek only two things: good pay and a wife. The gospel offers them the rest — that is, the power of living as they please.
I understand now how Arius and Tertullian and Wickliff were driven into schism by malicious clergy and wicked monks.

Have a great one, Wiskey! The last few years we have patterned the day after Is. 58, going to homeless camps and letting them make a list of items--tents, sleeping bags, sanitary products...whatever they come up with. We truly do call this high Sabbath an extreme delight!

Whaaa? Keeping a Jewish tradition? Performing tzedakah on the day before is customary, and Is 58 is a reading for the day, along with Jonah. We certainly had a rich and rewarding fast. My whole family spent erev YK and all day today studying the Machzor, tractate Yoma, and in great discussion with friends. It was rich, as I'm certain your day was as well.

One can correctly view all the feasts as one. But the direct link Yom Kippur has to Sukkot is that It is the first real cry of repentance that sets the stage leading up to what Sukkot/Tabernacles represents. Some info on that is presented by Rabbi Sacks in the "Confusing Satan" video I posted in the first 3 1/2 minutes.

Well, He says they are HIS feasts, so I'll incline with Him on the matter! So rich and full of meaning, sadly the worldly 'churches' has made their own festivals patterned after paganism, yet claiming to honor Him. What a slap in the face. I SOOO long for the coming Kingdom where EVERYONE will come to know the importance of what they have rejected. Truly, nothing new under the sun, eh?
2Ki 17:33 They were fearing יהוה, and they were serving their own mighty ones1, according to the ruling of the nations from among whom they had been exiled. Footnote: 1Mixed worship.
Zec 14:16 And it shall be that all who are left from all the gentiles which came up against Yerushalayim, shall go up from year to year to bow themselves to the Sovereign, יהוה of hosts, and to observe the Festival of Booths.
Zec 14:17 And it shall be, that if anyone of the clans of the earth does not come up to Yerushalayim to bow himself to the Sovereign, יהוה of hosts, on them there is to be no rain.

The incredible thing about Yom Kippur that silences accusatory Christians is that this day is seen as the most important holy day in Judaism. And it is the very real and explicit commemoration of totally unmerited forgiveness and grace.

But what the Jews don't understand or accept is that God's forgiveness and grace are only through Jesus Christ and because of what He did on the cross.
They had been given the Law but instead of it leading them to Christ their hearts were hardened. Only a remnant believed and were saved. Being Jewish and having the Law saves no one even if they believe in some general concept of "messiah". People are only saved by belief in the person of Jesus Christ.John 1:17 For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
John 20:31 but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.Acts 4:12 And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”
Funny how much you diminish the "general concept of messiah". That is more than a general concept. It is the very heavenly reality that gives any fleshly representation its ability to affect any good at all. Notice in Acts 4:12 above, it is the name defined as that by which salvation comes, not the flesh and bone. A name conveys meaning, heavenly identity...."general concept". As I've stated before. I'm the one here who rejects the trinity, but I'm the one who treats messiah as most akin to G-d, recognizing the superceeding spiritual reality and eternal aspect above temporal flesh.
Jesus words saturate Jewish literature and tradition and teaching.....the spirit and the life.John 6:63 It's the Spirit who gives life; the flesh accomplishes nothing. The words that I've spoken to you are spirit and life.
