Should we allow the Easter Bunny and Easter Eggs in church? In fact, should we include them at all? For that matter, should we even use the term "Easter?"
Maybe you have never thought about that. Or maybe you have. Maybe you have been afraid to because you are afraid of what you would find out.
Well, I did the deep dive for you. What I found out surprised me and if you hang with me, it might surprise you.
In this video I trace some of the history of the Easter Bunny and eggs, but to get all the information, I would encourage you to read the full document I put together. I call it "When the Bunny Goes to Church." You can find it here:

![All the Father Gives Me will come to Me! John 6:37 (Why I am not a Calvinist, Part 7)
All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out. (John 6:37)
So, Calvinism must be true because God elects some to be saved, right?
Actually, no. While at first this statement may seem confusing, it is actually rather simple.
The word all is collective it describes a group. All [the group] that the Father gives me will come to Me. The whole group will come (which means to arrive).
In the next part of the verse, the one is the individual. Every individual in the group that comes to Jesus will arrive safely to Him. We could read the verse this way:
All [the group] that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one [the individual] who comes to Me I will by no means cast out. (John 6:37)
I like to compare this to a group of immigrants boarding a ship to the United States. The U.S. ambassador arrives at the dock and informs them that the whole group on the shop will be allowed into America without question, and none of the individuals will be turned away.
