Did Jesus celebrate the Holiday that commemorates the Maccabees?

Dedicate
Replicate
Obfuscate

Wow, that was really edifying.

 

[NathanH83]

No means No

What does that mean?
Are you suggesting the Maccabees gave themselves tattoos in honor of the dead?
Where is that written?

If you don't know what No means.
Then I can only assume that you seek nonconsential relations that are antithetical to the Law.

As for those that celebrate the maccabees and mark their flesh for the dead.
Their candle will not be lit

Besides, whether Jesus celebrated isn’t the issue. The issue is that the New Testament acknowledges the Apocrypha. Yet Bible teachers today say that the Apocrypha isn’t referenced in the New Testament.

No it didn’t.

The feast acknowledges the historic event (Maccabean Revolt and rededication of the Temple). Few, indeed are the people that claim there was no Maccabean Revolt or rededication of the Temple. The fact that the historic event took place does nothing to make the Greek text written about it to be “God-breathed” Holy Scripture.

Judas really existed and is mentioned in the Bible, but the Gospel of Judas is still Gnostic heresy.

Amen

What is sinful about the holiday? Judas Maccabee purified the temple that the Greeks defiled and rededicated it to the Lord. How is that sinful?

And it never says that Jesus refused to celebrate it. Otherwise he would have refused to go, just like when he told his brothers that he refused to go to the feast of tabernacles (but ended up going secretly).

Jesus never told his disciples that he refused to celebrate. You just made that up.

Are you claiming that Jesus celebrated sin?

Leaven?

So it took just a shy under 2000 years for the Bible to become at last the perfected HOLY Word of God in all its intended glory for the first time ever in Christian history?

Thats right, we had to correct and fix the grotesquely mangled mess of the traditional bibles that our earlier brothers and sisters in Christ had passed down from antiquity

Yes or No will suffice

It took a few weeks for you to invite a paralytic to this forum.

Are you seeking a miracle?

Why is it a sin to celebrate Hanukkah?

There is not one single early church council that declared the gospel of Judas to be divine canonical scripture. But there are multiple early church councils that declared 1 and 2 Maccabees to be divine canonical scripture.

You’re not even making any sense.

Because its lawless.

And The Lord is Holy

Where does the book of Maccabees say that they tattooed themselves? Chapter and verse please? You’ve proven nothing until you show the verse that says they got tattoos.

I’ve read Maccabees, and I don’t remember reading anything about tattoos.

 

[NathanH83]

Because its lawless.

And The Lord is Holy

Why is it lawless? I thought that the Maccabees were defeating the lawless Greeks and putting the temple back in order. I don’t understand. What’s lawless about it?

Are you asking me to remove you from the wedding?

 

[NathanH83]

If you’re going to make the claim that the Maccabees were lawless (even though they were the only ones standing up for righteousness at the time), then you need to back up your claim with evidence.

Making claims without explaining your evidence is wasting everybody’s time.

You’re not making sense. Nobody here is talking about a wedding. You’re wasting people’s time. If you have nothing sensible to say, then please don’t bother responding.

The feast of dedication is a wedding.

And you are the one who likes to talk instead of listen.
