Wandering around other religious forums I came across a post by a JW showing they celebrate Jesus's death on April 12 this year. They call it a Memorial and during it offer bread and wine but do not let everyone take the bread and wine as it is reserved for the 144,000...
The picture accompanying the notice has a Jesus with outstretched hand and in true JW fashion the artist has drawn the thumb as an image of Baal exactly as Disney had one prominently lit in the old Bedknobs and Broomsticks film to show Disney's Satanic Masonry allegiance.
The wrist is also drawn as a reptile's head - python or perhaps komodo dragon.
JW artists of several generations have been inserting these subliminal demonic images in Watchtower literature right back to 1920 at least.
Any JW lifting a JW magazine or book high is actually praising demons though as their eyes are dimmed they cannot see the images.

The point is should Christ's death be celebrated by Christians or should his resurrection be central?

Concentating on celebrating his death is pandering to Satan.

I would think we celebrate the giving pouring out of His Spirit life in jeopardy of his own Holy Spirit life. A living sacrifices our daily bread.

Christ does not accept dead sacrifices. The blood used to show spirit life was given. . . the spiritless blood and flesh must be poured out at the feet of the altar so that it might return to dust or clay.

Drink the blood of men a parable the signified prophecy, comparing what is seen the temporal historical to the unseen eternal called "drink the blood of men eat the flesh" (of their labor)

Leviticus 8:15And he slew it; and Moses took the (spiritless) blood, and put it upon the horns of the altar round about with his finger, and purified the altar, and poured the (spiritless) blood at the bottom of the altar, and sanctified it, to make reconciliation upon it.

Leviticus 9:9 And the sons of Aaron brought the(spiritless) blood unto him: and he dipped his finger in the blood, and put it upon the horns of the altar, and poured out the (spiritless) blood at the bottom of the altar:

Deuteronomy 12:27 And thou shalt offer thy burnt offerings, the flesh and the blood, upon the altar of the Lord thy God: and the blood of thy sacrifices shall be poured out upon the altar of the Lord thy God, and thou shalt eat the flesh

I would offer another of the parables which without Christ spoke not hiding the mystery from those who do look to the temporal earthen dying things having no eternal faithful vison, Christian's .

In that way parables teach us how to walk by the unseen things of Faith that He pours out on us.

Both the JWs and the Catholic must insist on literal spiritless blood as if God was a dying man as us.

They are metaphors used in parables as ceremonies to the unbelieving world not self-identifiers like Aarons two sons added to the word of God with strange fire (we did it, it proves it) The fire consumed them not a stench of smoke on the ceremonial attire

We are given one new ceremonial wa as a sign to the unbelieving world in 1 Corinthian 11 after the same order drink the blood eat the flesh a shadow pointing to the wedding supper. The covering of the head ceremony

I'm not asking about dead blood but the simple matter of:

Should Christ's death be celebrated by Christians or should his resurrection be central?

From a biblical perspective, both the death and resurrection of Christ are essential to the Christian faith, but the resurrection holds a central place as the ultimate confirmation of His divine mission. Christ’s death on the cross is the atoning sacrifice for sin, fulfilling God’s justice and demonstrating His love for humanity (Romans 5:8). It is through His death that believers are redeemed, their sins paid for by the blood of the spotless Lamb. However, the resurrection is the triumphant proof that Christ conquered sin and death, validating His identity as the Son of God (Romans 1:4) and ensuring the believer’s hope of eternal life (1 Corinthians 15:17–22). Without the resurrection, the death of Christ would be incomplete, and faith would be in vain. Therefore, while the death of Christ should be solemnly remembered and deeply appreciated, it is His resurrection that rightly takes central focus in the life of the believer, as it proclaims the victory and new life found in Him.

We can celebrate (rest in his love) every time we hear his voice and harden not our hearts. (Hebrew 4)

What do you think in regard to dead spiritless blood?

The bloody demonstration, the second of three was a ceremonial shadow designed to the unbeliever not a sign unto themselves

The first demonstration began in the garden of Gethsemane it fulfilled the prophecy of two working as one. The Father not seen poured out His spiritual strength on the Son of man Jesus. bruising his heel crushing the head of the serpent

It fulfilled the two prophecies ( bruising heel).Genesis 3:25 mixed with Isaiah 53. Then the last demonstrator the tomb the demonstration of faith the unseen work of the Father finishing the three day and nights demonstration.

The Father removed the grave clothes and rolled back the Stone

His death on the cross was actually a victory for Satan.

So Satan thought.

I wouldn't say we "celebrate" Jesus's death. I know of no Christians who do so. We do celebrate Easter (the resurrection).
However...

Heb 9:15 For this reason He is the mediator of a new covenant, so that, since a death has taken place for the redemption of the transgressions that were committed under the first covenant, those who have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.
Heb 9:16 For where a covenant is, there must of necessity be the death of the one who made it.
Heb 9:17 For a covenant is valid only when men are dead, for it is never in force while the one who made it lives.
Heb 9:18 Therefore even the first covenant was not inaugurated without blood.

JWs celebrate his death just as they use pix of him on a stake as a sacrifice to Baal.

Should Christ's sufferings unto death death be celebrated by Christians in respect to the blood? Seeing without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.

Can't simply dismiss the use of blood.

It was a delusional victory the parable seemingly of the Satan inspired crowd that crucifed Christ . It is the second demonstration of the Lamb slain from the foundation the six day the Father did work. It was a bloody sign to the unbelieving world in a hope of drawing them to prohecy .

The propmised prohecy the garden of gethsemane of the bruising of the heel of the Son of man as a result on the Father striking the Son, as the Son called out for strength three times fulling both Genesis 3:15 and Isaiah 53.

The work of two the dynamic dual the father and Son of man team.

Three times Jesus looked to the other apostles for support strength. . three times the father put them to sleep in order to fulfill prophecy .

The last of the three day and nights in three parts or three different kinds demonstatation is the tomb the demonstration of faith the invisible work of the Father he removed the grave cloths and rolled the stone ending the work of two empowered by one.

The bloody sign as a wonder the more popular to the unbelieving world

1Co 11:25 After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.
1Co 11:26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.
