How many of the Christians here obey the 5th commandment in observing the Feast of Weeks?

Update:

I thought Christians were obliged to keep the 10 Commandments still! Emily says it's not a "Cheistian" obligation, so has something changed that I'm not aware of?

Update 2:

Don't the Christians realise which are the real Ten Commandments? Exodus 34:28. The other commandments that involve not killing etc. weren't even written on tablets, so cannot be the REAL Ten Commandments.

Update 3:

Lol - Christians are so dumb, can't even agree amongst themselves which is the 5th commandment. Look it up, Exodus 34:22.

    Read Exodus 34:1 'two stones just like the first ones'. What you refer to is the covenant God made with the Israelites, they already had the 'ten' commandments that Christians adhere to today, they were written on the 'first stones'.

    None that I know of. No reason to do this: all of the Law of Moses was fulfilled completely. Besides, the Law was never binding on Gentiles, only the Hebrew people, when they were living in the Land of Promise.

    Taking if further, if you want to observe this or any other "feast", you'll need to find priests, an altar, a temple, and become circumcised, among other things. The Law was an all-or-nothing proposition, Nobody had the right, for lack of a better term, to pick and choose which parts to follow or not.

    I readily agree that there are similar, if not identical commands for Christians in the New Testament--but nowhere are New Testament following Christians commanded to comply with Jewish, Old Testament, rituals and the like. Acts 15 made it pretty clear that Gentiles were never under the Law, and Colossians 2:14 has Paul's declaration: "Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross (King James Version);"

    Commandment 5 “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you.

    WTF has this to do with observing the Feast of Weeks?

    None, since that is not what the 5th commandment says.

    the old testament laws dealing with those sort of traditions are obsolete. Jesus is the new covenant . Luke 22;19-2- Ephesians 2:14-22 Hebrews 8:7-13

    That isn't the 5th commandment and it is not commanded in the New Testament.

    Thou shalt not murder? I've observed the commandment every day of my life.

    It's not a Cheistian obligation. Christians have one observance each yera. The memorila of Christ's death.

    Yes, you're right. Christian aren't under obligartion to keep the ten commandemnts. This is new information for you, but it's true.
