Just a few thoughts and a question. I very definitely agree with the lady on the high sabbaths, they are "forever, throughout your generations" and the Christian holy days are all directly correlated to pagan sabbaths, including Halloween which is the eve of All Saint's Day. Doesn't it make more sense to keep the same holidays that Yahshua (Jesus Messiah) kept before the Pope "changed the times and seasons"? We're messianic, which is very close to christian and we should be brothers. Yes we believe the New Testament when Paul said that these holidays were a "FORESHADOW of things TO COME." Just as Jesus fulfilled Passover and the Spring biblical high days, He comes to fulfill the Fall Feasts as well. Feast of Trumpets - the trumpets will sound. Day of Atonement - Great White Throne Judgment. Feast of Tabernacles - Yahweh lives with us (tabernacles) forever. Even the Spring Feasts were fulfilled only in the intermediary, a second Exodus described in the OT, "in that day they will no more speak of when Yahweh led the children of Israel from the land of Egypt, but of when He led them from all the countries where He has scattered them" (paraphrase). Indeed, all of the punishments and Exiles in the whole Bible are result of Israel not keeping the High Sabbaths, but instead integrating paganism! Read it! Paul also said, "therefore let us keep the Feast." Jesus said, Think not that I have come to destroy the Law and the Prophets, I did not come to destroy, but to fulfill. And, til heaven and earth pass, not one jot or tittle shall pass away from the Law. And, whosoever teaches to disobey the least commandment shall be called least in the Kingdom. And, Man shall live by every word ever breathed from the mouth of Yahweh. Paul said, let no man judge you but the body of Christ. "of" is in italics in the KJV, meaning it was added by the original translaters.

Take that as you may, but my question is about Martial Arts. I really appreciate the articles on this site. I was wondering, my daughter does christian karate. Belt of truth, defend virtues with honor, what do you think of this? She's homeschooled out here in the boonies and this is one of the only things we've found in a long time that she has access to participate in that I halfway like (besides assembly). She loves it, and acts more confident... Thanks, shalom
