Of the many Bible studies I have done, my favorite was one on the sacred feasts of Israel and how they are shadows of Messiah. The details are amazing. The last seder meal was, after all, the first communion as well.Dorcas (aka SingingOwl)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15626748280614018533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22004751.post-53424782678560959682009-04-10T19:39:00.000-05:002009-04-10T19:39:00.000-05:00Frankly, I like the idea -after all, isn't the Chr...Frankly, I like the idea -after all, isn't the Christian faith grounded too in the teachings of the Old Testament as well as in Christ's words in the New Testament? Without the Jewish traditions, would we have all the ones we have today in the Christian churches? Besides, I think it does much for people as a whole to learn and understand the various parts of other religions than our own.Jenihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16425701332785470116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22004751.post-1071404957130350912009-04-10T18:24:00.000-05:002009-04-10T18:24:00.000-05:00I know they are very popular in some churches but ...I know they are very popular in some churches but ever since I heard that many Jews were offended by the Christian use of the Seder, I've not done it. But the Jewish community is not of one mind on this and it depends upon whether or not it's done properly and is a straight Seder or if we add Christian meanings to it. It just sounds too complicated for me so I stick to the traditional Maundy Thursday rituals.Pastor Joellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14212838423929588352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22004751.post-76601313286820474722009-04-10T18:03:00.000-05:002009-04-10T18:03:00.000-05:00I like the ecumenical celebration, but I'll admit ...I like the ecumenical celebration, but I'll admit that I'm uneasy with Christians using (misusing?) a sacred Jewish meal. To me, it seems, we Christians have our own sacred meal - it's called the Sacrament of Holy Communion. I'm just uneasy when Christians adopt and adapt a sacred Jewish tradition. Better that we humble ourselves and attend as guests a Jewish seder as part of a longer effort of Jewish-Christian dialog between two congregations, or that we just stick to our own sacred meal.Chris Duckworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15569502792071232013noreply@blogger.com
