Nigerians believing a Jew died for their misdemeanors when the Jews themselves don't believe that nonsense. its akin to a Nigerian travelling to America to see Americans worshipping Murtala Mohammed saying he died for their sins Nigerians read a book and concluded the Jews were wrong, a slavery endorsing book that was given to them by their slavemasters Nigerians need to get sense ASAP 14 Likes 1 Share |

Hmmm This number one no follow naa: 1. Good Friday commemorates crucifixion of Jesus Christ and His death at Calvary. Not true Between Friday and Sunday morning is not up to three days and three nights that Christ spent in the grave so how can you say that. The bible already hinted at the day, but people are too dogmatic to believe, they rather agree with some concocted date... |

Good Friday: Christians COMMEMORATE the crucifixion. Nobody said Lord Jesus was actually crucified on a Friday in March or April. |
