Sounds like Corinthians is saying to keep the festival but with new understanding. Didn't Christ show us how to keep passover by making it a communion? He explained it so that it was plain and evident. Why not celebrate communion on passover when Christ did?

I'm not sure I follow. Christians DO keep the festival in communion as you said. They just don't celebrate it as passover, as I said. Good friday feasts (without meat) are held by Christians. I'm not sure where we are at odds in the interpretation here.

Yeah, that would be the main part of the meal for Christians.

The ceremonial laws of Moses were pointers to Christ. Christ having come, we no longer need the pointers. The WCF puts it like this: >3. Beside this law, commonly called moral, God was pleased to give to the people of Israel, as a church under age, ceremonial laws, containing several typical ordi...

Did not Christ show us how to celebrate passover with the last supper? Why not just have a communion on passover? Christian congregations do not.

The festivals (along with all the other ceremonial laws) are not "timeless": > Now the promises were made to Abraham and to his offspring. It does not say, “And to offsprings,” referring to many, but referring to one, “And to your offspring,” **who is Christ**. (Galatians 3:16, ESV) > Why ...

My brother...72 hours after any hour on Friday gets you into Monday--which would be the "fourth day" after his crucifixion, and the "second day" of the week. Scripture says he rose "on the third day" after his crucifixion, and also "on the first day of the week" (Matt. 28:1; Mark 16:2; Luke 24:1; Jo...

Get rid of the old yeast, so that you may be a new unleavened batch — as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed. Therefore let us keep the Festival, not with the old bread leavened with malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. - 1 Cor...

Again, that is the new covenant. Jesus made a new covenant and Passover was not one of the lessons of commemoration. That was from the God of retributive justice. Jesus' new covenant was one of forgiveness and his divinity and through him one's redemption lays. The celebration of his sacrifice is...

...sure it is--though he has others (in other languages), like 'Yeshua' in Hebrew or 'Joshua' in English, etc. But the (inspired, inerrant, and infallible) Scriptures record for us that the angel of the Lord told Joseph to name him 'Ἰησοῦν' ([Matthew 1:21](https://Matt+1)--the Greek form of...

The same reason Christians don't sacrifice animals. Christ was the new covenant. Passover was the old covenant.

In my former circles (highly Dispensational), it was all-the-rage to celebrate all the festivals but with a 'Messianic Jewish' spin. But Dispensationalism is error, so also the fruit from that root. Now the former things (of Moses) have passed away; "with a change in priesthood, comes a change in th...

I think primarily because it was from the Old Covenant, and has now ultimately been fulfilled in Christ. But maybe we should take more time to remember what God did in history, and reflect on how that points us to Christ. I actually saw that my home church had a Passover meal this week. We never di...

The passover is all about Jesus! We should be celebrating it. Jesus was like, you guys, this passover thing we do, its all about me. This is my body, this is my blood. The meal teaches the New Convenant. Its a great way to teach your children about Christ and to remember what he did for us.

We Christians don't celebrate Passover because we are Christians. The Passover pointed to Christ. He is its fulfillment, like all the rest of the Law of Moses. It's good to learn how Jesus fulfilled the Law, but we don't want to get close to the first heresy of Judaizing.
