Comment to Jewish Festivals

What strange behavior would be attributed to the husband who only looked at photographs of his wife. While, at the same time, ignored her and her needs... in real life.

I notice that history lovers will occasionally participate in a military battle re-enactments. To commemorate a famous Revolutionary War battle, for example. This, in my view, is harmless and could even be very beneficial. But I don't see the continued observance of the Old Testament feasts in this way. Let God judge.
Formerly, when you did not know God, you were enslaved to those that by nature are not gods. But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how can you turn back again to the weak and worthless elementary principles of the world, whose slaves you want to be once more? You observe days and months and seasons and years! I am afraid I may have labored over you in vain.—Galatians 4:8-11
