The most significant day in the xtian calendar is the resurrection, not the crucifixion.

Very interesting that an atheist dictates what constitutes the basis for the doctrine of salvation. Sort of like a blind person dictating shades of blue to an artist.

Which doctrine is that? The "Bloodbath Doctrine," I suppose. A theologian you're not.

That's not what "the scriptures say," though.
My preacher 55 years ago said it was and he's a man of Gawd, so it must be true.

I never said I followed the bible, and I made it quite clear I do not.
So much for your comprehensive skills.

And probably didn't care to know, because "the Holy Spirit taught them everything that was true."

Are you brother?
If you need someone to talk to, about this, PM me, lost many people to it.
Nope,I can read you at BH&C.
All they taught was written in the Bible...I could read about that stuff myself.
Ok, I went and took a very quick look. What is your point? I am here on this board and have no desire to populate another because I have limited time for this one. I find several posters on this board are extremely well educated in this area and the debate can be intriguing, both from a sociological/anthropological POV and from a purely personal one. I am fine here.
BYE BYE
Whatever awoon. Immature people bore the hell out of me.

Millions remember the last supper and Jesus's death today, at services all over the World. I know because I have just returned from one that I was invited to attend.
that's great! sorry for a delayed answer. did you go to the Jehova"s Witnesses meeting?

Pretty sure that Christians emphasize the whole "Resurrection" bit over the death part. Likely they mention the death because without it the resurrection narrative would become a bit confusing.
"And then Jesus rose from his tomb!!"
"Wait, when did he die??"
"Oh, yeah, the Romans killed him like three days before this. It's not really important to the story, though."
The better question would be why do we Baha'is celebrate the martyrdom of one of our prophets??

Not really all that farfetche IMO. Many atheists were, at one time, very stalwart Christians very well educated in the doctrine. They can certainly have an opinion on the matter.
