Come on brothers, We Christians in India have no issues with any other religion. We are a real minority here. But that has helped us to mingle and become friends and establish relations with all other religious groups in India. Our culture is thoroughly Indian, our languages are Indian, our habits, both good and bad are Indian. Our ancestors lived and died here like everyone else's. This is our home land. We are not outsiders or alien to this country. This is our home. Lets recognize this fact and move on. Lets not blame each other for our religions, race, languages, caste, color, eating habits.

John 3:16"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

It should be Good Wednesday. Not Good Friday.

Judeans claimed that no prophet can rise from Galilee (John 7) since Jesus Christ was from Nazareth of Galilee. When Judeans asked Jesus Christ for a sign, Jesus Christ said that only one sign was given and that was the sign of Prophet Jonah (Matthew 12 & 16). Prophet Jonah was from Gath Hepher (2 Kings 14:25) which is in Galilee.

"For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth." (Matthew 12:40).

So Jesus Christ had to fulfill what Prophet Jonah fulfilled. So Jesus Christ remained in the heart of the earth for 3 days and 3 nights which was from Wednesday evening till Saturday evening.

Jesus Christ died on Wednesday and got resurrected at the end of Saturday. The Sabbath that came after Jesus Christ's crucifixion was a High Sabbath (John 19). Not a regular Sabbath. After the Sabbath, the women bought spices (Mark 16) and prepared them (Luke 23). After that, they rested on regular Sabbath (Saturday).

I also recommend my small youtube video "Jesus Christ vs. Pharisaism..."

Bible verses John1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John1:13 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, ) full of grace and truth. Jesus Christ is the Word He is the Way the Truth and the Life. Jesus came to give us salvation from sin and death. He died on the cross was buried and risen on the third day and lives forevermore He ascended in Heaven and will come back and everyone will be judged by God. Repent of your sins and believe in Jesus Christ our Lord and saviour only thru Him we have forgiveness of sins and enter Heaven. Bible verse Romans3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God. Romans6:23 For the wages of sin is death:but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Today is the day if you hear His voice do not harden your hearts ask for forgiveness of your sins and He will forgive you and accept you as His child and walk in His ways and follow Jesus all your life read the Bible daily pray daily and love one another as Jesus Christ loves us. Jesus Christ is not Religion He is Love, He is God, He Saves. Peace and Love to all may our Lord Jesus bless you all God bless you with His Love Joy Strength and Peace Amen.

Quint - please get the facts right. Do your research by asking Christians from across groups and finally read the basic fact mentioned in bible itself. It is called "Good friday " because it is believed that on a friday, Jesus died brutally as a substitute for sinners/people because of His love for us.

Prophet Jesus peace be upon him prophecies about the coming of Muhammad peace be upon him

John 15:26:-

Jesus Christ said "And when the comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the father, even the spirit of truth, who proceedeth from the father, he shall testify me".

John 16:12–14:-

Again Jesus Christ said " I have many things to say unto you but you cannot bear them now. How be it, when he the spirit of truth is come, he will guide you unto all truth, he shall not speak of himself, but whatsoever he shall hear, that he shall speak, he shall show you things to come. He shall glorify me."

If Jesus ever existed why is there no holy place of his rest? If he rose from the dead (not humanly possible) then explain this to me. I went to nothing but catholic schools growing up; and was told by a Nun that Jesus was Native American.. ever since then, I've dropped any form of connection with this fraud. I'm Native. lol.
