There is only one day that true Christians observe and that is the Memorial of Christ that Jesus himself established at sundown on Nisan 14 after the Passover Celebration. We do not observe the Passover but at sundown on the date corresponding to Nisan 14 on the Old Jewish calendar we do observe the Memorial of Jesus. It was his death that was most important as that is what brings forgiveness of sins. The great sacrifice he gave of himself to redeem fallen mankind if they would exercise faith in that ransom sacrifice. Easter and Christmas both have pagan roots and no true Christian should observe them. Observe the Memorial as Christ said; do this in rememberance of me.

Jesus did not abolish passover, He fulfilled it. It has no use in the Christian church, communion came out of it and is what is left. Passover was a picture, with Christ we now have the real thing, so why would we continue to look at the picture? God never set up passover as a memorial of Christ's death and I have no idea where you get the idea that the apostles and early Christians continued to practice it, there is no Bible basis for that. Passover was given to Israel, not the church and you don't even find it mentioned in the Epistles which is the teaching for the church. What you are teaching is just as much error as Christmas and Easter. Stick to God's Word and you won't go wrong.

Do you really think anyone keeps reading your long drawn out rantings on passover and easter. We get to the first sentence and say oh not this again. You are missing the point being a true born again Christian, has nothing to do with a passover celebration or what you call the day that you eat ham and easter eggs.

Paul explained to the Galatians how they were being legalistic. "If righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing." -- Galatians 2:22.
"But now that you know God - or rather are known by God - how is it that you are turning back to those weak and miserable principles? Do you wish to be enslaved by them all over again? You are observing special days and months and seasons and years! I fear for you, that somehow I have wasted my efforts on you." Gal. 4:9-11.
We are no longer commanded to observe certain days or rituals, but but Christ did say, speaking of the Lord's Supper, that "WHEN you do this, do it in remembrance of me." Of course, wine (or grape juice) and the bread (or cracker) represents his blood and broken body. In this way we remember what he did for us on the cross. Becayse of what he did on the cross we can have a relationshio with God through him.
I'm not sure what Pagan festival you're referring to.

Ya'll are really locked into this Pagan thing...
Christian do not celebrate those pagan gods or beliefs, even if they fall on the same days as those festivals, or were ordained to be observed on those days centuries ago.
We celebrate His birth on Christmas, aka winter solstice.
We celebrate His death on Easter, aka Passover. etc...
What's so hard to understand about that?
Your attempts to scoff and mock us,
trying to stir up strife and guilt,
just shows how foolish you really are.

Google 'The Doctrine of basically conflict'. it fairly is a doctrine stepped forward via the Catholic Church many centuries in the past to verify even though if or not a conflict is basically. conflict is justified if this is in one's very own protection, or while this is to guard the powerless from the efficient. aggressive conflict is misguided, as is conflict for imperialist purposes. so because it is to not say conflict is misguided altogether, yet in line with 'basically conflict' doctrine, each and all of the wars we've fought in on condition that WWII have been incorrect. the U. S. has used its protection tension >one hundred cases on condition that WWII, yet not a type of has been for the needs of shielding our usa against foreign places aggression or to help the folk in whose usa the conflict replaced into fought.

Are you speaking of Christmas and Easter? Yes they are pagan- but I turn them into the truth, by celebrating these holidays in honor of our Lord and Saviour! Easter bunnies need to go....

We should celebrate the birth of the Messiah daily and not morn his death but rather be joyous of His resurrection.
I will not let religious legalism destroy my joy or weigh down my life
