I didn't say you use the word "Saturday," I said you insist we worship on that date.

You even nitpick your own words. I said nothing about anything about the English name for the day.

Petronski said: No more odd than insisting we worship on the day named for worship of the pagan god Saturn.

As I said, we keep the Sabbath. The Seventh Day. Shabbat. No where did I speak of any pagan deity. But like all magicians, you seek to distract from your other hand... you still can't answer why your "church" insists on calling the "celebration of the Resurrection" after a pagan deity - and as the Canons of Nicea and Laodecia show, it was purposefully done to negate the "Jewish Passover." Call it what you like... it simply shows the fragility of your position.

Bzzzzt. Wrong.

I said:

...and you replied
Ah, but we don't.
Thus, you DID say something about anything about the English name for the day: you denied using it.

I'm not a magician, though it wouldn't take a magician to take note of your penchant for the ad hominem.

The Catholic Church doesn't insist on "on calling the "celebration of the Resurrection" after a pagan deity." That is your false formulation.

The Catholic Church refers to Easter Sunday by the name that evolved for Easter over centuries (like most of the rest of the English language).

...as the Canons of Nicea and Laodecia show, it was purposefully done to negate the "Jewish Passover."

Christians celebrate the Resurrection of the Messiah purposely to negate the Jewish Passover? Oh my, that's funny.

And despite your vast and flabby protestations, your chosen day of worship is named for the pagan god Saturn.
