Passover

all my Jewish friends a blessed Passover.

Intertwined religions...

This may be a silly question to those who understand religious beliefs better - but was the Jesus' "last supper" actually a passover meal? If so, why isn't it part of Christian celebration at this time?

Son Mike

and I got to attend a Sader last night. Clogged sewer with a house full of those celebrating. The hostess is a long time friend and customer, so the greeting was full of warmth, hugs and a kiss from my "Jewish Mom". While we were in the basement she and her fellow celebrants were singing overhead. Lots of food and fellowship! On the way out, she gave Mike a bit of a history lesson on the Sader. It was a delight to be a part of their special event. Where else but in this business could anyone ever be so blessed?

Not so silly -

Yes, it was a celebration of the Passover.

From the Christian perspective, Passover was the celebration of God freeing the Israelites out of Egypt by the blood of the passover lamb. It looked forward to the death of the Perfect Lamb and the shedding of His blood which causes God to "pass over" our sin.

Once the real Lamb was sacrificed, the "type" was fulfilled and Passover was/is no longer celebrated. We celebrate Easter.

Hope that helps.

Shalom! My friends.....................

Thank you for the explanation, Jim...

It still seems odd that such an event of undisputed historical importance is "put aside" by "us" this way, but I have always found religion the hardest subject to understand. Peace to all, whatever your following!

Easter is a pagan Holiday

to celebrate the fertility of a rabbit in Roman culture dedicated to the god (small g) Easter.

Christians celebrate Resurrection Sunday, with out resurrection there is no forgiveness for sin. Jesus resurrection proved that he conquered Sin - Death - Hell and the Grave. Those who are Born Again now have eternal life through Jesus Christ who is the Way the Truth and The Life. He is the only way to Heaven. He is and was the Passover Lamb.

That's not the reply...

I was hoping for. Maybe I should know better. I'm too embarrassed to even think of asking further.

Nothing to be embarrased about

it is the Truth!!!

Yeah, And How Do We Know It Is The Truth? Because It Says So In A Book, That's How. Sometimes A Bit Of Interpretation Is Required, So You Can't Let heathens Misinterpret The Book, But Basically It Is All In There! The Day Of Judgement Is At Hand! And This Stuff Is A Great Way To Make Money, Too!

How bout those Orioles!

Gents. Take a chill pill and revel in your differences. Accept and appreciate that we're all different & that that's what makes life interesting.

That's also why I enjoyed last night's experience. While I could have done without the clogged sewer, my son & I were exposed to something we'd never have been a part of otherwise.

It's kind of like St. Patrick's Day when everyone gets to be Irish for a day (for some of us it's permanent!). So last night we got to be a little Jewish for a few minutes and we were accepted within the Sader group with open arms. You get what you give IMHO.

Thank you, Dave.

Gentlemen, we've had this discussion many times in the past. The Wall is NOT the place to debate religious beliefs.

I wish all my Jewish friends a blessed Passover. That's all.

Passover

I have many jewish friends and customers that follow their religion to the T. I grew up catholic didn't know much about it...as the saying goes...religion,I don't know nothing about it-I am catholic. In my later years I took an interest to it all. Did you know that Jews,Catholics and Islamics all can take a claim to Christ. Makes you wonder whats all the fighting about.So ...to my jewish friends here at the wall and those here in Montreal....go in peace...Shalom

Terry,

Yes Terry,
Jews, Catholics, Muslims, Protestants, Mormons and others "Make a claim to Christ". But Jesus asked a question that is still important.
"Who do men say that I am?" He plainly revealed to the world who He was. It was recorded in the Bible for all future generations. He said "Unless you believe that I am he you will die in your sins". Many people have violated the 2nd commandment by creating an idol in their own mind. A "god" in the image they want. One that doesn't require much of anything from them and winks at their pet sins. The Apostle Paul warned of men who would come and preach "another Jesus, and another gospel." There should be no fighting. But we should be able to rationally talk and even disagree without being offended. God does not have favorites, but not everyone is right. God is not Burger King. We don't get it our way. Our opinions are worth nothing. But Truth is not relative, and we should all be open to examine our deepest held beliefs. Are they reasonable, or merely tradition?
Happy Passover to all Dan's Jewish friends! I don't really know any out here in rural Nebraska. Kevin

A particular belief system may control your life...

and/or soul; but Dan Holohan controls this website.

He has warned us "old timers" a few times about "debating" religious matters here, and suggests that religious matters of the heart, mind, soul and belief be done via direct email, one to another - or by some other means (other than here).

So when Dan suggests religious discourse is verboten here, it has nothing to do with his beliefs, or ours.

He merely wishes to avoid all religous commentary, which inevitably detract from the primary purpose of The Wall.

That being, hydronics.
