Subject: Why do we celebrate Good "Friday"? |
Bible Note: Ed, I have read John 19:14 and the Synoptics which make the point of the other position as I have cited. You may find this article on the subject of interest. It was published in 1912 and the issue was not new then. Nor is the day of the week of the crucifixion a point of doctrine, although it is a matter of interpretation. The article has some relevent points I did not see in the archives to which you refered me, but in some ways touch on various points there. Your previous point about the importance of Jesus's death as opposed to the day of his death of course is very much to the point in this academic exercise. http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/14341a.htm Emmaus |
