Hi there Vinny,

I disagree with the importance of these things.  The early "church" 
made every attempt to separate itself from things Jewish, including 
but not limitted to the Sabbath, Passover, the importance upon which 
day the Crucifiction took place.  Talk about herasies!

LOVE IN HIM,

purple Mari
