Keep in mind, this was in the times of ancient Rome.  The times were different back then, they used diff days, not as many, and the rulers adjusted the calendars as they pleased.  Translating from then to now is difficult.  But we celebrate it as close to the day we believe it happened as possible.\n-Duo

I thought that Muslims accepted the fact that Jesus was the Messiah. I don't know how that makes sense since they don't believe He was crucified and rose again on the third day, but then, I really don't know that much about Islam.

the "Passion" was a kids version of what truly happened. it was so brutal that it could not be shown on TV or movies. it was so painful before they were put on the cross, it was a miracle that He did not die before the cross. first, he was spat upon and his beard was torn out by his own people. then he was whipped with a stick. he was taken before pilate. then he was sripped naked and whipped by the "cat and nine tails" which had peices of metal and glass that tears the skinn off. they whipped him thirty-nine times. then he was robed in purple and a crown of thorns was forced onto his head. the thorns were the length of common nails and as thin as a pine needle. they were so sharp that they went through his scull. then he was forced to carry his cross which would have weighd something near five hundred pounds. he had to carry it throu the streets ant to the mount called golgotha which was a good ten kilometers from the roman post in the city. once there, he had his clothes ripped off him once more and was forced to hold out his arms where nails the length of railroad spikes were driven into his hands and feet. then they raised the cross into the hole whre it dropped two to three feet. he was nude, bleeding, almost unrecognizable, and was mocked by both his people and the romans. what you did not see in the movie was that all the sin of the world was brought onto Jesus and he died from the weight of that sin.

-first of all which resurrection of two in John 5?\n(where Jesus notably plays two parts[sons])\n-secondly which Christ of false/true Christs?\n(false Christs shall arise, go not after them)\n-thirdly such things are an "allegory": Gal 4\n\nIt says the "third day", not Sunday\nMt 16:21; 17:23; 20:19; 27:64\nMk 9:31; 10:34\nLk 9:22; 13:32; 18:33; 24:7; 24:21\nJn: 2:1\n\nThe "third day" is also the seventh,\nwhen counting days in John 1 & 2:1.\nhttp://www.godshew.org/ThirdDay.htm\n\nThe seventh day is Saturday\n1. Sunday: 1st of the week\n2. Monday: 2nd of the week\n3. Tuesday: 3rd of the week\n4. Wednesday: 4th of the week\n5. Thursday: 5th of the week\n6. Friday: 6th of the week\n7. Saturday: 7th of the week\n\nProblem is, \nif "Son of Man" is "Lord Also" of the Sabbath\n(and the Sabbath is define as the seventh day),\nhttp://www.godshew.org/Revelations10.htm\nthen this Sabbath, of 2, the one "made for man".\n2 Sabbaths in 1 week(passover) is one too many\nhttp://www.godshew.org/TwainShew6.htm#Sabbaths\nhttp://www.godshew.org/Easter.htm#Preparation\n\nStill has to be Sabbath shewdown of law vs grace,\nhttp://www.godshew.org/Revelations2.htm#Rev4\nwhich is to say: day of the LORD vs day of God,\nhttp://www.godshew.org/RevelatorySermons19.htm\ntill one winner take all is "the Lord", of "all".\n\nThe "grace" of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.

no, Good Friday is not a national holiday, it is a religious holiday. It reflects upon the day that Chirst was crucified on the cross, and that 3 days later (Easter) He rose again.

Your argument doesn't hold water. For it to be a good argument all the facts need to be true and provable. Jesus wasn't even killed on a cross he was hung.And almost nothing else you said is provable.

when Jesus rose from the dead, he appeared to hundreds of people.  here is the apostle paul's account:\n\nhttp://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Corinthians%2015:3-8;&version=47;\nsee also one of the gospel accounts, such as luke 24: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=luke%2024;&version=47;

:{\nThat “Jesus did not die on the cross”  is an Islamic teaching. It will be part of the great delusion in the last days during the tribulation.\nISA, (the Islamic Jesus)(and the Christian false prophet) will come and declare that he is Jesus and that he is not the son of God and did not die on the cross. Islam even predicts that he will break the cross and that he will kill the leader and protector of the forces that believe that Jesus is the Son of God.\n\nHe will also tell people to believe in the Islamic Messiah, Mahdi (The Christian anti-Christ)\n\nAnyway that's how I interperet the Islamic Hadifs and the Bible  Just my opinion

Jesus died on Nisan 14th which corresponds with our month of April.  He was 33 1/2 years old.  Count backwards 6 months. He was born in October.  But he says that his birth was not important, only his death.

Yes, I firmly believe Jesus died and rose from the dead.  I believe also that this is why we celebrate Easter.  The bunny and egg thing just came around to entertain the kiddos.

In the days of the early Christian church, only Easter Sunday was celebrated as a holy day.  By the fourth century, each day of the week preceding Easter were established as holy days including Good Friday.  To most Christians, Good Friday is really a misnomer in that it was a "bad" Friday—the crucifixion day of Jesus.  Some believe the term "Good" evolved from "God" or God's Friday.  Others believe "good" represents the good gift of salvation brought forth by the martyrdom.  Regardless, it is a holy day throughout the Christian world.\n\nCeremonial worship of the holiday follows closely to the events described in the scriptures.  Some congregations still hold a three hour service on Friday representing the three hours He hanged on the cross.  A typical service includes seven distinct elements representative of Christ's seven utterances while on the cross.

God gave us one day per week to rest and spend time with Him. It is the last day of the week which is Saturday on our calender. On Good Friday we remember the crucifixion, \nhis side was pierced so they could take him down from the cross because the next day was the Sabbath. Then He rose on Sunday and we celebrate new life and a new week.\nFor me it's Friday sunset to Saturday sunset.

Jesus doesn't have a grave.  He was put in a tomb, but he rose from the dead three days after he died.  Jesus is alive! \n\nIf you want answers, ask him, he said ask and you will receive, seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened for you.  God is waiting for you to ask him your questions, he will not let you down!

He didnt keep him from dying. He saved him by bringing him back from hell after 3 days. In that, he did save him from death.

I believe Scripture that He was in the tomb for 3 days & 3 nights. Even though we don't know exactly when the Resurrection occurred - when the disciples got to the tomb Sunday morn, it was already empty... it probably occurred about when the Sabbath rest ended Saturday at sunset & probably before midnight Saturday night. It is convoluted theology to expect that God would wait past midnight to schedule the resurrection on Sunday - the pagan day of worship - God has never tolerated anything pagan mixed in with His worship. The reason Christians worship on Sunday is because Emperor Constantine (practicing pagan until he was baptized on his death bed) decreed that the Sabbath must be desecrated in the Roman Empire and that Sunday would be the day of rest & worship for all, no matter what their religion. His decree called it "the venerable day of the sun god" & made NO mention of God, Jesus, Christ, Resurrection... or anything Christian. And his puppet Pope, Sylvester, rubber-stamped all of Constantine's heresies.\n\nCounting back from sunset on Saturday, you get a Wednesday Crucifixion! He would have been in the tomb Wed sunset to Thurs sunset (1st full nite & day), Thurs sunset to Fri sunset (2nd full nite & day), & Fri sunset to Sat sunset [THE SABBATH] (3rd nite & day).\n\nThere are many references in the NT to believers (i.e. "followers" of the Messiah & His Way) meeting on "the first day of the week"... which starts right after sunset on Saturday! One of the references is that Paul preached until midnight on the first day a the week - it doesn't say to droned on for 24 hours, or for even 12 hours (or whatever) on Sunday, he preached from after sunset to midnight on Saturday.
