The RIGHT WAY and WRONG WAY To OBSERVE FEASTS and PARTIES.



Eating, Drinking, and Entertainment are WRONG, if it is observed with the purpose of gratifying the selfish or hedonistic pleasures of the flesh. This will result in Destruction and DEATH. This is the same as EATING from the forbidden impure TREE OF KNOWLEDGE of Good and Evil in the Garden of Eden. Eating, Drinking, and Entertainment are NOT WRONG, if it is observed with the purpose of honoring and glorifying God. This will result in Salvation and LIFE. This is the same as EATING from the TREE OF LIFE in the Garden of Eden.

  • Clean out the old yeast so that you may be a new batch, since you are unleavened. For Christ our Passover has been sacrificed. (1Cor 5:7)
  • Let us observe the Feast, not with old yeast, or with the yeast of malice and evil, but with the unleavened bread of Sincerity and Truth. (1Cor 5:8)
  • But now I am writing you not to associate with anyone who bears the name of brother who is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or a reviler, a drunkard or a swindler. Do not EAT with such a person. (1Cor 5:11)
The WRONG WAY TO OBSERVE FEASTS AND PARTIES

Eating, drinking, and entertainment are WRONG, if it is observed with the purpose of gratifying the selfish or hedonistic pleasures of the flesh. This will result in Destruction and DEATH. This is the same as eating from the forbidden TREE OF KNOWLEDGE of Good and Evil in the Garden of Eden.

Why is this? It is because the hedonistic Human Nature derived from eating the forbidden fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil in the Garden of Eden, is still very much in power today, as it was then. 

The very next thing to happen after these feasts and partying are either sufferings, shame, destruction, and/or death, as GOD declared to Adam, and his offsprings (Genesis 2:17).
  • The LORD God commanded the man, saying, "Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you shall not eat of it; for in the day that you eat of it you will surely die."(Gen 2:16-17 HNV)
  • But as the days of Noah were, so shall be the coming of the Son of Man.  (Mat 24:37 MKJV) 
  • For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day Noah entered into the ark.  (Mat 24:38 MKJV) 
  • And they did not know until the flood came and took them all away. So also will be the coming of the Son of Man.  (Mat 24:39 MKJV)
  • Be on your guard. Don't... get dulled by parties and drinking and shopping. Otherwise, that Day is going to take you by complete surprise, spring on you suddenly like a trap, for it's going to come on everyone, everywhere, at once.  (Luke 21:34-35 MSG)
THE RIGHT WAY TO OBSERVE FEASTS AND PARTIES

Eating, drinking, and entertainment are NOT WRONG, if it is observed with the purpose of honoring and glorifying God. This will result in Salvation and LIFE. This is the same as eating and drinking from the TREE OF LIFE in the Garden of Eden.
  • He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give to eat of the Tree of Life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.  (Rev 2:7 MKJV)
  • Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do everything for God's glory.  (1Cor 10:31 HCSB)

Continued on Part 6: GOD ALSO HAS HIS OWN FEASTS WITH EATING AND DRINKING, AND ALL OF US ARE INVITED TO ATTEND! Will You Attend? Or Will You Excuse Yourself?
