Jesus approves of me believing in Him and acknowledging His rising from the dead as His victory over sin, death, and Satan.

Satan has a lot of names, too. The English language is a string of metaphors, many of them lost to the users. WOP was used of Italians because their papers were listed as Without Passport when they came over for railroad projects. The name might have been harmless then but it is derogatory now. The origin of a name does not prove its current use.

I've always heard that "wop" was a corruption of "guappo," Italian for "handsome" but it was not necessarily a compliment even when it was coined.

Ah but Christ set the standard and He observed the Passover as He was that final perfect blood sacrifice previously required for forgiveness of sin. To replace Passover, which is about the passing over of the 'death angle' from its first flesh observance does require an acknowledgment from even the most modern flesh.

Even Paul the writer of most of the New Testament tells us what we should observe... ICorinthians 5:7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:

Now where does one go to study what "purge out the old leaven"? Exodus is the where and Paul has just made Exodus and the Passover part of Christianity!!!

V8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

Now you surely can't claim the "new lump" is gained by the practicing of rolling eggs from mythical bunnies now are you? NO malice or wickedness intended, just the raw unvarnished truth.
