Why do people observe Good Friday?

[2014eelea]

Why Friday?

will tell you that he is an expert in Scripture.He assures you that Hell is not real and that Jesus is not YHWH.

Scholars will tell you they know it all.They have jobs in universities and seminaries etc.They preach the Word of God or write books on it.They ALL tell you that Jesus was crucified on a Friday.

The Bible does not say that.In fact the Bible appears to be absolutely showing that the cricifixion took place on a Thursday.

So my question is simple.Why would they believe anything these people say when the get the simple things so wrong?

Secondly many many people will say that the Bible translations are correct.There is a KJV only movement and they will tell you tat the KJV must be followed.

If you tell them the Bible is mistranslated they go beserk.

So if any one is interested I will show you through the Bible that not only was the crucifixion on a Thursday and not Friday that also the Bible is mistranslated.

If anyone wants to make fun or start a fight they will be reported and ignored.If anyone wants to search for the truth I am here to help you find the truth.I do not want to fight.I just want you to search for and find the truth.

Hello, everyone. This discussion is getting a little heated. Could we please communicate with a more civil tone. Thanks!

I have to get off my computer now. I live in the U.S.

I respect your mission. I respect your devotion to the bible. 

I won't be joining your team tonight. I hope that doesn't upset you. 

Take care.

What is important is that Jesus did die on the cross and shed His blood as a ransom for me.

I'm not sure that the argumentative nature of the questions by the OP have any link with Christianity any rate?

Why post rhetorical questions just so you can have these demented arguments?

If a person believes that the Christ did suffer and die, isn't that enough?

As mentioned berfore:

2 Peter 3 [16] As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.

the bottom line is this argument is that:

as wimjig said above "Jesus died for us" and it was on Nisan 14 in the Jewish calendar - that's all that is significant,

As the OP seems quite knowledgable, may I please ask a question of you OP ?

Each year, the birth of Christ is celebrated on 25 th December.......(without fail, no deviation).....

and yet Easter (crusifiction 25 years later) changes from year to year according to the stars ?(or so I was told)

So, how is it that the calander was more reliable (for the birth) than the death 25 years later.?

Just wondering...I have asked many visitors to my front door over the years to help me understand this anomaly, but none seem willing to do so.

OP while you are at it.

Could you please explain a question I have since my teens.

The Garden of Eden, Adam & Eve, ( forget the snake & apple ).

Those two lovers had 2 sons - Cain & Abel.

Cain the first human born, Abel the first human to die. ( His brother Cain did him in ).

This leaves Cain.

And

Only

EVE.

Did they date, if not - where did the rest of us come from.

Here is not the time to bring in Aliens.

Easter is calculated according to the moon, Greencat. Easter I am open to correction but I believe it is because the Jewish Passover is calculated in the same way. Easter Sunday is the first Sunday after the first full moon after the equinox. (Spring in the Northern, Autumn in the Southern Hemisphere)

As far as I know 25th December is just a random date picked to coincide with the Pagan festival set around the winter Solstice (Northern Hemisphere.)

A nutter on the radio yesterday said that it was OK to mate with your  mother or your sister back then, because god made them and their genes were pure.  It was later that we all dirtied them.
