Genesis 1:28 NASB God blessed them; and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over every living thing that moves on the earth."
Although I believe Christ was crucified on Wednesday and not Friday, that is for another time. As we have talked about before, Christmas is marked by a fat man who drives a sleigh pulled by reindeer giving toys to kids and Resurrection Sunday is called "Easter" (from the pagan god Ishtar-fertility god of love, war and sex) and marked by bunny rabbits (fertility - get it?) and golden eggs (prosperity) - nothing to do with the Resurrection of Jesus the Savior. Are you getting what I am putting down???
He took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows…he was pierced for our transgressions…crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth…he was cut off from the land of the living; for the transgression of my people he was stricken – - – Isaiah 53:4-8
If you use the method for calculation that was used at that time of 6am to 6pm = Daytime and 6pm to 6am = Nighttime, adding up to 1 day. You are correct Friday was not the day Christ was crucified. Good article to dispel what we commonly associate with Easter as christian tradition. For about 100 years AD the early church did not use a cross as a symbol of christian followers because the image in the minds of the suffering was to vivid to deal with. At that time the Romans used this form of punishment to make crimes against the empire unconscionable. Crucifixions were everywhere. But, Only one changed the world forever. K Cramer
