Thread Name: BS: Why don't Christians Celebrate Passover?
Subject: RE: BS: Why don't Christians Celebrate Passover?
I'll need to recheck this but I'm under the impression that Christians did not move the Sabboth to Sunday. They began celebrating the Liturgy and the Eucharist on Sunday because it is the Day of Resurrection not because it is the Sabboth. Modern preachers commonly refer to Sunday as the Sabboth but I'm not sure that is historically accurate.

The Apostle Paul was not a rabbi, he worked for the Romans helping to persecute Christians. He didn't become a Christian until some time (years?) after the crucifixion. He never met Jesus.

For Christians, the Jewish Passover was subsumed by Pascha, the New Passover so there was no need to celebrate twice.

Now what I want to do is get with Spaw and help celebrate Passout. <g>
