@droptozro I agree with you, truly if you are seeking the will of God you will find the truth and know the significance to the Holy Days & Festivals that God commanded His people, this thing about options, in my mind, is God allowing us to make a choice, which has always been the case with Yahweh! He want's us to choose to worship Him. May all the Glory and Honor of His Kingdom come onto earth as it is in Heaven!

Yeah. I have no issue with celebrating the Resurrection. The issue is that Easter shows origins from the OT, dealing with sexual fertility and eggs in comparison with the moon goddess Ishtar(many names).  So I'd rather play it on the safe side and not celebrate it on the same day as everyone else as the fact that it's not even being celebrated right.. easter bunnies and eggs? ..have nothing to do with Christ. If you wish to break bread and actually celebrate Christ, awesome--no eggs/bunnies
