Tim,
If I'm asked what I gave up for lent, I'll say that I gave up lent for lent...
I stole that from someone...
Sorry,
Jim, is that Solomon Kane as your avatar?
Great tales of adventure!
As Wik says, "Solomon Kane is a fictional character created by the pulp-era writer Robert E. Howard. A 17th century Puritan, Solomon Kane is a somber-looking man who wanders the world with no apparent goal other than to vanquish evil in all its forms."
Classic!
I say no to lent...in dryer and out.
What did I give up for Lent? My New Year's Resolutions!
I eat more during Lent. When I go to lunch with my RC friends I ask them to buy for me since they're not eating. Ain't I a stinker???
So Christians must observe this "holiday"? If it's a "true Christian holiday," then it is incumbent upon every Christian to observe it. If it is not commanded in Scripture, however, then it is not a "true Christian holiday," and is thus prohibited from being foisted upon a Christian's conscience (for example, observation of "Easter" at Church), Confessionally speaking.I see a big difference between Easter, a true Christian holiday, and Christmas.
Whatever does not come from faith is sin. With all respect you answered your own question, you by your confession are bound NOT to observe, I do not recognize RPG I follow Normative Principals, further I am Creedal not Confessional, hence I am not bound by this.But we celebrate it corporately every week. The Sabbath. The 4th Commandment. So there's no once a year Lord's Day that's to be exalted above another.So Christians must observe this "holiday"?

A reasonable response, Josh. Let me clarify my own clumsy construction. What I meant was that we, as Christians, celebrate the resurrection, therefore Easter (or Resurrection Sunday as many of us call it) is a great day for the church. Are there special forms for that day? No. We do know that the early Christians began celebrating on the Lord's Day because of the resurrection.
So am I making it a holiday? No. I do believe that it is more important to the Christian than is Christmas, however.
I am liking this post. ... Some non Christian polish people asked me if I celebrated easter. I said to them 'Every day!' I mean that. There is not a day when the incarnation, death and resurrection of Christ does not have meaning for my life.

I dont know if it is the non conformist in me or what, but I have the same issue with Christmas and Easter.

I dont need an annual ceremony to remember his incarnation or his death or his ressurection. I am who I am today because of these things! 'I once was lost but now I'm found, was blind but now I see'.
Infact, I think these annual ceremonies rob the church of their true significance. That is 'if anyone is in Christ they are a new creation' every single day!
Ok rant over... for now.
