Easter is a pagan practice and holiday. Show from scripture that is was instituted by Christ or the apostles. I can show where it was practiced by pagans as far back as the Babylonian feast of Easter and the 40 day period of maurning for Tamuz.

Now *that's* sola scriptura. :)

And I think it illustrates how it can lead to some pretty absurd results (not talking here about you other sola scriptura folks!).

I think we've pretty well made our arguments. At least as much as I have time and energy for tonight.

I wish you all the best CB; may God richly bless you and yours...

G'nite all.
