On behalf of decent Christians everywhere, please accept my apologies for the boorish proselytizing in this post.

Thank you!

Indeed, even this article makes it more complicated than it is. The Jews celebrate Passover because in the Torah, G-d ORDERS them to do so.

There are many holidays to celebrate this or that or mark this or that occasion. There are few, even in Judaism that occur because the Deity INSTRUCTS the People to celebrate it and gives them detailed and lengthy instructions as to HOW to celebrate it. In fact, the following of the instructions becomes a central theme of the celebration.

I love Peshach and I celebrate it, vicariouosly, but celebrate it I do nonetheless. Because I am a Follower of the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Moses.

Pope Benedict XVI himself has said that we are in danger of entering another dark age if relativism is not stamped out. Wonder if he'll pander to the muzzies, or if he will call a spade a spade.

Christians have every right to eat the Seder, but they are prima facie wrong to tell the Jews how to do it. You guys are in no danger of hell, in my opinion. I just happen to believe that when you finally do meet the Messiah for the first time, it will be for the second time for us.

Plus also on top of it also, it was because the Devil used Muhammed to spread his false religion of Islam in order to try to defeat the risen Lord Jesus and not just only the Jewish faith, Christianity’s elder brothers and sisters, but also the Christian faith as well. Remember that Jesus defeated the Devil on that first Good Friday and Islam is Satan’s way of trying to reverse this victory which WILL NEVER HAPPEN.
