Do you realize that if you translate this into any language except German, Dutch, and maybe Norwegian, it says, "That the Jews in new testament times were celebrating Passover, a pagan festival, and not the Passove, a festival ordained by God?"

Do you realize that calling a dog a pig doesn't make it a pig? In other words, calling a day 'passover' doesn't make it the passover of God.

You "pagans under every bed" fellows are amazing, and amusing. My God sat on paganism and smashed it flat; yours runs away from it.

My God tells me what days to observe in the bible. You disregard God's instructions in order to keep tradition. It's that simple.

Maybe you just never understood the difference between the OT and the NT ... which is precisely that

I understand that God created certain days to worship and honor him and never said to do otherwise.

Funny, I seem to recall this fellow named Paul who said that it was fine to eat meat sacrificed to idols if you didn't believe in the idol and didn't thereby scandalize anyone, because the idol was simply ... nothing. A non-entity.

Paul also said:

2Co 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

Unbelievers and believers alike are yoked together with Easter. Unbelievers have the bunnies, the eggs, all the pagan symbols. Believers embrace the same symbols. You ARE yoked unequally with unbelievers whether you recognize it or not.

2Co 6:15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
2Co 6:16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
2Co 6:17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.

Unbelievers and believers alike are yoked together with Easter. Unbelievers have the bunnies, the eggs, all the pagan symbols.

Shouldn't that be "yolked together"? 8>)

Believers embrace the same symbols.

No... People on both sides will often fight over the same symbols, because of the significance and power of the symbols. So, to take a political example, both Democrats and Republicans try to attach themselves to Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, etc.
