One thing I've always noticed about Doug's post is that he always backs up his theology with scripture. In this particular instance these customs, superstitions and traditions have nothing to do with scripture.

Is this....He is a crackpot cultist trying to tear people away from their Christian denominations so they will join his cult .....the best you can do? Can't you quote anything Biblical to support your position? You sound very angry.

Actually, there is one single verbatim scripture quote in the entire post. All he does is say that such-is-such is what some verse really meant. For instance, he claims that Jesus died on a Wednesday, and provides three apparent scripture references, based on an insistence that Passover was on a Thursday, not on a Friday.

The simple explanation: Jesus did, in fact, celebrate Passover earlier than the Pharisees did, as there WAS a disagreement as to how to count the days.

The Pharisees' passover began on Friday evening. This was the passover that they were trying to get Jesus dead by. Jesus, following the Essenses (as references to the way he celebrated it make clear), celebrated the passover, beginning on a Thursday evening; and died on the day of that passover (Friday day), and not on the day of preparation for that passover, (Wednesday day).

No need to join any cults that declare 99.999999% of all Christians throughout history to be idolators.

... but then, you've been following Doug around from thread to thread for so long, affirming his wacko cult, haven't you?

If anyone thinks I'm being harsh calling them a wacko cult, I appeal to you to observe that during this holiest of holy times, Diego and Doug are accusing (through the sum total of their deceptively scattered posts) all the great saints, and pretty much every Christian you've ever known of loved, to be hell-bound idolators. Just a little doubt sown here, a little there, and the entire Christian church is under attack. Please note this:

>> Neither can Easter claim to be the time of Christ's conception, His birth coming in the autumn (3312 years before His death in the spring). <<

Where, oh, where is the biblical basis that Christ was born 3312 years before his crucifixion? Why were there people who, at the time of his ministry, clearly remembered his birth?

Diego and Doug are not Christian. They are tools of Satan, having come to spawn division and confusion among Christians.
