Esp. when you and Doug do your "we present the facts, you decide" presentation around Christmas and Ressurection " :')

Twas the Catholic church, which sprung from a mixture of Messianic belief and paganism, insofar as they dictated we should celebrate Easter (the pagan goddess of Ishtar). I can't help it if you can't shake all of the Romanism off. :-)

I assume that you discard the Apocrypha. But of course you have to. Because it shows that from the time that Alexander came, the Jews were caught up in the Hellinistic enterprise. The New Testament is the culimation of the blending of the two cultures. You are a disciple of Jerome, everything except the monkish thing.

Just curious, how does your congregation observe or celebrate the resurrection? Do they incorporate it into Passover?
