Points to Ponder

1.  The Council of Nicaea in 325 AD (now where have we heard of this
brilliant     meeting--hint they changed the doctrine of the Oneness to
the doctrine of the
    trinity) decided that easter should be celebrated on the first
Sunday after the     first full moon on or after the vernal equinox. 

2.  Easter comes from -Eostre-, an Anglo-Saxon goddess of the dawn. In
pagan times an 
    annual spring festival was held in her honor. Some easter customs
have come from 
    this and other pre-Christian spring festivals. Sure sounds like a
holy day to me.

3.  Where in the Bible does it say they celebrated easter? (Don't use
Acts 12:4 as that
    word in the Greek is translated Passover. Big difference.)

4.  How could Jesus be crucified on Friday and be dead for three days
and rise on
    Sunday?  There is a math problem here. (See Matthew 27:63.)

5.  How can you celebrate the most heinous holiday known to man (so
stated since the 
    RCC claims it as -the most holy day of the year-) and then deny the
doctrine of the 
    trinity (so stated since both beliefs easter, trinity come from the
-same source-)?

Happy easter everyone.
