Of course I see the connections between the Passover lamb and Christ. For Christians Jesus is the Lamb of God and the passover sacrifice. But not for jews.

If I grant you that Passover "portends" the sacrifice of Christ, if you celebrate it in this manner you are denying it has already happened. Jews don't celebrate the portending of the Exodus from Egypt. Christians don't celebrate the portending of the risen Christ.

And, of course Christianity grew from judaism. You are missing the "grew" part.Your passover celebration, if you follow the jewish one, does not celebrate the risen Christ - only the portending.

I'm going to do what God said to do and what Jesus Christ did.

Then you would drink your last wine on a cross and say, "It is finished." This is a facetious argument. Jesus's death and resurrection is what we celebrate. Of course, Jesus did not participate in a religious celebration during his life that celebrates events after His life.

Once again your church freezes history before the most important event in Christianity. Your church is but a new one - not an old one.

Agreed.

Passover not only portended the sacrifice of Christ, but he commanded us to observe it as a remembrance of his sacrifice:

Luk 22:19 And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.

He instituted the symbols of the wine and bread ON Passover. Then you would drink your last wine on a cross and say, "It is finished." This is a facetious argument. Jesus's death and resurrection is what we celebrate. Of course, Jesus did not participate in a religious celebration during his life that celebrates events after His life.

Because Jesus Christ had already created all of the holy days that mankind would ever need. Passover portended and remembers his death, trumpets portends his 2nd coming, tabernacles portends his earthly rule in the millenium. God didn't need man to invent any days to remember him...he already did it. God had plenty of opportunities to tell us that we should have new holy days, but he didn't.
