Why do you have to turn something as sacred as a Jewish holy day into psuedo mithraism? Give you Jewish brothers a break.

Which do you object to?
1) That the Resurrection of the Dead will occur on Rosh Hashanah.
2) That the Messiah will appear to Israel on Rosh Hashanah.
3) That on Rosh Hashanah, the Lord judges the world, inscribing or blotting out all mankind in His Book of Life.
4) That therefore Rosh Hashanah is a time to repent in preparation for Yom Kippur.
5) That Rosh Hashanah is also Yom HaKiseh, the Hidden Day.
All of those are the consistant teaching of Jewish tradition--and since the New Testament was written not by Grecian Mithraists, but by God-fearing Jews, its not at all surprising that we find all of the above encapsulated there as well.

You can object all you want to, but it is what it is.

With respect,
