I removed the following paragraph from the intro:
It should be mentioned that since Jesus called himself a shepherd and not a lamb, so some Christians reject the title, and reject the idea that Jesus was the passover lamb for in Exod. 12 the lambs are not sacrificed to God. Families were told to kill a lamb and put its blood on their door posts. The Atonement was a different ritual and entailed a goat which they say was an evil animal to Jesus for he said sinner were goats who would go into hell fire.
This paragraph, in addition to its attrocious grammar, seems to be full of original research and unreferenced assertions. Which Christians reject the title of "Lamb of God" for Jesus? The idea that Jesus was not the Passover Lamb directly contradicts 1 Corinthians 5:7-8. If there are reliable references for these assertions, well and good; otherwise, it doesn't really seem appropriate in an encyclopedic context. MishaPan (talk) 22:54, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
