Of course we celebrate the resurrection every Lord's day. But do you hear your pastor preach concerning the resurrection every Lord's day? I'm not so sure what the problem is with names like "Easter" and "Christmas." A rose by any other name... What's wrong having one day of the year in which the central topic concerns the endings of the Gospels and I Corinthians 15?
This is a silly thread.
What next? Ix-nay on the chocolate bunnies and cadbury eggs?
Is that all your church does? I find very few churches, even supposedly reformed churches that use this excuse for celebrating Easter actually limit their one-day-in-52 worship to a sermon on the resurrection. They usually have special music, the choir is especailly in tune that day, perhaps other subtle or not-so-subtle changes to the order of worship, in order to make the day seem more "special".
If your church does not, it is the exception.
I agree, Peter. Silly thread. And I say it again, this nothing more than "disputes and arguments over words, from which comy envy, strife, reviling, evil suspicions, useless wranglings" (1 Tim. 6:4-5)
