Easter was not renamed passover.

Passover is the name given to that season in the bible. European countries recognized that. In Germanic language nations, a play on the words son/sun and the fact that the Son rose (at dawn) and that the Sun rises in the east, led to a play on words. The easter.

Even today we use the play on words when we talk about “SonRise” services at dawn.

It will become incresingly more difficult for you guys to market this nonsense as more and more people get the History channel. People in your "protestant" churches are actively seeking out congregations like ours as they come to the truth. It is an absolute shame that a man of your stature and education would continue to teach this error. Please see James 3:1 and Matthew 15:9.
