Q&A #290- Matthew 5:19, Christians celebrating Easter, Fasting, and maybe more!

Mar 29, 2023

In episode #290 Pastors Doug, Kyle, and Blake discuss the following:



1. Jesus says in Matthew 5:19 that whoever sets aside any command of Moses that seems unimportant (are wrong). I understand the concept of then and now (Scot McKnight—Blue Parakeet), etc., but how do we square this very direct statement? I can’t, but nor will I be stoning people any time soon.

P. S. I do u deist and that Jesus has fulfilled the law, but what does that really mean in this context where He says to go on obeying Moses’ teachings and commands?


2. Why should we as followers of Christ celebrate Christmas or Easter? Why those events and not Jewish feasts celebrated in the Bible? Does it make sense for Christians today to celebrate Jewish feasts "given by God" over Christmas and Easter


3. Please expand on your beliefs and practices around fasting. How often should it be done and what is its purpose? Is it a regular part of your personal walk with Christ? Is it something you’d consider encourage as a church body or is it more of an individual practice?
