  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Interesting article; their conclusions were based on a review of seismic activity.

"And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit. At that moment, the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split, and the tombs broke open."
(Matthew 27:50-52)

There is another (rather dense) article here which says the same thing.


Jesus died, therefore, on Friday, April 3, AD 33 at about 3 p.m., a few hours before the beginning of Passover day and the Sabbath. This is the date in the Julian calendar, which had been introduced in 45 BC, and follows the convention that historical dates adhere to the calendar in use at the time. If, instead, the current Gregorian calendar were retroactively extended to a date prior to its introduction in 1582 (or even 1752, when it was adopted by the United States and United Kingdom), such a proleptic date would be different (i.e., a date retroactively calculated using a later calendar).

They had a different calendar at the time. Even now they use a different calendar.


Easter and Passover are related but not the same, and they are typically not observed on the same day. Here's how they are related:

  1. Passover: Passover is a Jewish festival that commemorates the Israelites' liberation from slavery in ancient Egypt. It is based on the Hebrew calendar and usually falls on the 15th day of the Hebrew month of Nisan. Passover includes a ceremonial meal known as the Seder, during which the story of the Exodus is retold, and specific foods are eaten to symbolize various aspects of the story.
  2. Easter: Easter is a Christian holiday that celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is observed on the first Sunday following the first full moon after the vernal equinox, which can vary each year. As a result, Easter does not have a fixed date on the Gregorian calendar and can fall on different dates each year.

Pope Benedict wrote in his book, Jesus of Nazareth, how the Last Supper may have been on
Wednesday or Tuesday and Jesus celebrated the Passover meal with the Apostles, knowing
he would not be available for the actual Passover day, which would be the following Saturday.

"Then they brought Jesus from Caiaphas to the praetorium. It was morning. And they themselves did not enter the praetorium, in order not to be defiled so that they could eat the Passover." John 18:28

It seems that the Gospel of John, is the more historically correct of the four Gospels.
