[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do we know why what we call Jewish holidays such as Passover, Shavuot, and Sukkot, all of which are connected the Old Testament, are not observed by Christians as well?[/quote]

Why don't Jewish people celebrate the birth of Jesus?  ( not really asking just pointing it out to op)[/quote]

Not parallel at all.[/quote]

Why not?  Or Christmas?  [/quote]

Jews don't believe in Jesus. Jews don't believe in the New Testament- only the Old Testament. Christianity and Catholicism are anti-semitic religions. Why would a Jew want to celebrate something like that?[/quote]

Ok why would a Christian want to celebrate Passover and othe Jewish holidays?   Why would op ask such a stupid question?[/quote]

Because the Old Testament is part of Christianity. The New Testament is not part of Judaism. You don't see the difference?[/quote]

Ok so do Christian's follow all of the ritual requirements in the Old Testament?  [/quote]

Seriously. Saying “the Old Testament is part of Christianity” implies Judaism barely exists as a separate religion. It’s offensive. [/quote]

Huh?!! The phrase "The Old Testament" is used by Christians to differentiate from "The New Testament." Neither are Jewish terms.[/quote]

There seem to be posters on here who think they can just celebrate Passover because “Jesus was a Jew and the Old Testament is part of Christianity.”

That’s not a thing. Christians can’t just celebrate Passover. Clearly when they try, they do stupid things like eat mint jelly. It’s embarrassing and it’s appropriation.[/quote]

Christians don’t need your permission. They can in fact “just celebrate Passover,” as it is one of the most critical parts of their religion, whether you recognize it or not. Keep your Seder, let the Christians keep their Passover Lamb. They’re different enough that you can consider them two different things.[/quote]

Passover is one of the most critical parts of Christianity? The liberation of Jews from enslavement in Egypt? That’s a critical part of Christianity?

I think you and I have different definitions of what Passover is.

It’s clear that you’re ignorant about Christianity, and that’s ok, but isn’t it better to stop arguing about things that you don’t know anything about rather than continuing to dig in? [/quote]
