ne of the more disturbing trends in the Church today is the proliferation of people who no longer seem to understand the error of returning to observances of Old Covenant ceremonial laws. It is a testimony to this confusion that many have asked, "should Christians celebrate Passover?" They are seeking honest answers as to why there are so many in the Church today willing to partake in this obviously Old Covenant practice?

The answer is that people have become acclimated to such ideas. Chiefly due to Dispensationalist influences in the media, a growing number of professing Christians actually believe that the Bible teaches that the "nation" of Israel remains God's chosen people. Thus they surmise that if they can just align themselves with Israel's culture, land, language, history and traditions, that will bring them favor with God. Sort of like taking out extra insurance. But in truth, they are actually placing themselves back into the Old Covenant signs, which prefigured things that have already come. Anyone looking to the nation of Israel to curry favor with God, is doomed to failure from the start. Because God's people today are a spiritual nation made up of chosen people from all lands, including Israel.

Passover is to be celebrated, as it is commanded in The Word......and the other Feasts and Festivals.

What we celebrate today (easter, christmas, halloween) are pagan at it's core, yet 'dressed up in fluffy christian clothes' so that christians can celebrate just like the world (so they don't seem weird) yet put 'their human' spin on it.

Here's a great place to investigate what Passover to a Believer looks like:
