Tubby Beaver 209 Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Why do Christians call the day that Jesus died, "good Friday"? Surely that was a shitty day at the office for JC and his crew Link to post Share on other sites
big-will 7 Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Good Friday is the day commemorating Jesus Christ's death on the Cross, which is probably to be dated April 3, A.D. 33. In the liturgical calendar of the Western church, it is the Friday before Easter. The exact origins of the name are uncertain; some argue it stems from the use of "Good" as an adjective applied to the day, which is an Old English synonym for "holy." Others argue it is a corruption of the word "God," in the same way that "Good Bye" comes from the phrase "God be with ye." Christians believe the day is "good" because the message of Easter is of Christ's victory over sin, death, and the devil; as the Apostle Paul wrote: "Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us." It is believed that, in Jesus' death on the Cross, He took once and for all the sins of all mankind upon Himself, in our place. This gift He extends to everyone who will believe in Him. Believing in the Good News of the Gospel is our hope. Jesus, the Son of God, who died for our sins, was raised again for our justification, we who believe being made in right stead with God. However, the term "Good Friday" is only used by Western Christians, and not by Eastern Orthodox Christians. The Orthodox refer to this sacred day as "Great and Holy Friday."

Tubby Beaver 209 Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Now that's optimistic!! Seems to me that Easter Sunday should be called "Good Sunday" then as that's when he "overcame death and sin" and Friday should be renamed "Shite Friday" or something similar, after all his mates didn't know he was gonna pull a Houdini Link to post Share on other sites
