Happy Easter! I know a thread was made when the new calendar people celebrated Easter but I want to wish my fellow Orthodox a Happy Easter as well!

Actually it does matter, not for salvation but for when we celebrate our feasts and fasts for Him and His saints! I am sure you enjoy when someone wished you a happy Easter or Merry Christmas. While it has nothing to do with your salvation, it does have to do with celebrating with your fellow man!
I am glad to hear you found Christ, God bless you and keep you.
Read the book of Colossians. It deals with this issue specifically. Religious holidays were indeed placeholders. But we have the reality now in Christ. ALL religious holidays are obsolete.
“Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ.”
Paul to the Colossians
Thanks for the book. Knew it was In the bible somewhere. Not best at quoting specifics. Thank you God bless
You are welcome Bro. Blessings to you.
No one is judging anyone. Saying it matters is not judging.
Prayers can not become incantations
Praying to God is praying to God.
You don’t get to judge someone’s faith because you have decided their prayer is incantation.
If you do not eat His flesh and drink His blood, you can not be saved.
Did you know many in the early church were martyred because they believed they were eating the body of Christ and were therefore called cannibals by unbelievers?
To do the will of God is to believe on Him who He hath sent.
Read the 6th chapter of the book of John and pay attention to the text and context. The context is eating bread, eating manna, and “eating Christ”.
John 6:63 is the punchline. The “flesh” that he earlier said you must “eat” to be saved matters not. The Spirit is what counts. His words are Spirit and they are Life.
Christ also said, “If your eye offends you pull it out. If your hand offends thee cut it off”. Christ taught continuously in parables to teach Spiritual truth.
THIS ? I agree u/Rammstein1
I believe what person above was trying to portray is that Christ is not tied down by a day. The date is just a place holder until the day christ takes a place fully in your heart. Then every day is a feast and celebration. So every day you fellowship with man thru Christ
