Don't eat meat offered to idols then - 1 Cor 8:1-8
You use an old covenant doctrine as if it is the new doctrine & you misconstrue the Gospel lesson which was not to force new Jewish Christians to partake in a custom that may effect them falling away into a life of unfettered sin.

Please, please stop the contortion - read the passage in context and let it speak for itself - before you embarrass yourself further by this muddled interpretation on your part.

Hardly, you obviously didn’t read the last few paragraphs of the article:

INdeed -and I know of no Christians being baptized in the name of 'easter', or astare, or any other pagan goddess. I don't know what church you affiliate with - but thousands ARE baptized into Christ. The Communion isn't suddenly replaced with peeps and orange juice because of the name of the day.

In the words of the sage - lighten up Francis.

.
No, the communion isn’t replaced, the day of the communion is what the pagans succeeded in replacing. The date of every communion referenced in the NT is the Passover, which mostly is a mid-week sabbath, although rarely it will fall on what was for the original Christians, the first day of the work week: Sunday.
