#1 Are they going to invite Jews this year? 'Cause that would pro'lly set back the Palestinian Peace Process(tm).

#5 Another step to a politically correct, secularized, all-inclusive, sanitized and modernized religion? I don't see a problem.

#6 Michelle has a 1st cousin who is a Rabbi (a mostly black congregation in the Chicago region I think).

As for the last supper being a Seder, the last supper narrative in the NT seems consistent with this. However, it seems the Sanhedrin was in session the next day (or the day after). It is somewhat doubtful that this would be the case as the intermediate days of Passover have a high degree of holiness and this would prevent convening of the Sanhedrin.

#11 TW, I disgree with you. We love and hold our pet as family. This is a sunday night entertainment, more akin to having the discovery channel live in your home. A lot like inviting a hobo to lunch to make yourself feel more important. Disgusting...

#13 "Are they going to invite Jews?"

I wonder if he's going to invite moslems, Steve - in the interest of inclusiveness, of course. Or maybe the ~~Right~~ Wrong "Reverand" Wright? :-(

#16 actually the year of the last supper, there was a dispute on the date. the first day of the month begins when the new moon is spotted. the officials in the temple (who the Sanhedrin agreed to use) did not see the moon the first night that another group claimed to. Jesus and the 12 were celebrating on the 'earlier' day based on the unofficial spotting of the moon while the Sanhedrin had an extra day.

worth noting that the temple sacrifice took place at the time of Christ gave up his spirit as described in the NT (between the evenings). probably not the place for derailing the thread, but there is a LOT of correlation with last supper and passover seder as well as crucifixion and temple passover sacrifice.
