When studying the Holy Days verses the “holidays” always focus on God’s Word and what it actually says.
Let me try to simplify these in a comparison:
holidays-------------------------Holy Days
seem to be of the Truth------Reveal the truth about God
not in the Bible---------------mentioned throughout Bible
mix paganism with Truth----pure Word of God/prophetic
corruption of Truth------------pure Truth
man-made---------------------God ordained
profane Jesus' name-----------Glorify Jesus' name
renamed by men-------------named by God for a reason
lead people away-----------point to The Messiah > Jesus
reveal the mind of men---------reveal the mind of God
point to false god's------------point to Jesus
replacements (unholy)---------original > Holy
break The Commandments-----honor The Commandments
plan of men to appease the pagans----"Plan of the Ages"
defiles Christ in practice-----Glorifies Christ in the practice
commanded by men-----------commanded by God
kept by believer and unbeliever alike----believers only
kept by world-------------kept by Jesus and the Apostles
Easter (a pagan goddess name)----FirstFruits (word used for Jesus by Paul)
Note: Easter is actually celebrated by Christians on the correct day and mostly for the right reasons. Only the name is an abomination and the modern practices which have pagan origins.
Jesus actually rose from the dead on a Saturday at sunset*, which was also the beginning of the Holy Day First Fruits which continues through Sunday until sunset.
Also, most of the holiday desecration is in the practice and in the decor or symbols attached to them which are pagan and are related to the worship of false gods.
Deuteronomy 12:31
You shall not worship the Lord your God in that way; for every abomination to the Lord which He hates they have done to their gods;
