"Ellen's gracious response to me"


Shelva,
    Thank you for the kind words, and for not getting offended. I also know
the difference about the term Easter and Passover as used in Acts, as Herod
had Peter arrested and would have kept pagan ceremonies. If you will point
this out in a response at 5Ds, or even post this one to me, that will help
others. My main concern is pointing out TRUTH, and praying for discernment,
which is sadly lacking among Christians these days. Too many have accepted
the pagan traditions of men, as I did until the Lord revealed the truth to
me. My two sons did the Easter egg hunts as kids, but should I ever have
grandkids they will not. Our family celebrated Passover with a traditional
dinnner and service last night, and they appreciated the symbolism that the
entire feast represents. Easter bunnies and eggs do not convey this at all,
just as Santa does not convey the meaning of Jesus's birth, but that is a
topic for another discussion, and I have posted about that before. You have
my permission to send this letter to 5Ds.
God bless you,
Ellen G
