should Christians celebrate the Feasts?

Just thought I'd let you in on a bit of IM conversation Dean and I had that will highlight how subject to individual interpretation some of this stuff is.

Quote:Helena says: .....I didn't include the sabbath in my list since it seems to be called for before the list of appointed feasts actually begins in vs. 4. So I suppose it is debatable? Do you read it that way?
Dean says:
No. Read the first 4 verses as the paragraph they seem to be. The first feast God claims as his own is the Sabbath.
Dean says:
see? Two people, three opinions.
Helena says:
also, Yom Kippur (a fast) is in the Lord's list of appointed feasts
Dean says:
That's why some use the word Festival
Helena says:
good point....perhaps you should add that
Helena says:
or "holy convocation"
Dean says:
And because it is is really the prelude to the real deal, the culmination of atonement. It was the atonement, not the fast that was the deal, but when sacrifices went away, so did the connection.
Helena says:
I was just addressing the question of whether a fast could be considered a feast
Dean says:
That's what it's called in the Word, but again, it was not just the fast. The fast was really the prelude to the sacrifice of one goat and the smacking of another's rear as it carried the sins of the people into the wilderness, into the dry places, to die.
