on what day was Jesus crucified ? -- the answer might surprise you

the bible does not explicitly state on which day of the week Jesus was crucified. The two most widely held views are Friday and Wednesday. Some, however, using a synthesis of both the Friday and Wednesday arguments, argue for Thursday as the day.
Jesus said in Matthew 12:40, “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.” Those who argue for a Friday crucifixion say that there is still a valid way in which He could have been considered in the grave for three days. In the Jewish mind of the first century, a part of day was considered as a full day. Since Jesus was in the grave for part of Friday, all of Saturday, and part of Sunday—He could be considered to have been in the grave for three days. One of the principal arguments for Friday is found in Mark 15:42, which notes that Jesus was crucified “the day before the Sabbath.” If that was the weekly Sabbath, i.e. Saturday, then that fact leads to a Friday crucifixion. Another argument for Friday says that verses such as Matthew 16:21 and Luke 9:22 teach that Jesus would rise on the third day; therefore, He would not need to be in the grave a full three days and nights. But while some translations use “on the third day” for these verses, not all do, and not everyone agrees that “on the third day” is the best way to translate these verses. Furthermore, Mark 8:31 says that Jesus will be raised “after” three days.
The Thursday argument expands on the Friday view and argues mainly that there are too many events (some count as many as twenty) happening between Christ’s burial and Sunday morning to occur from Friday evening to Sunday morning. Proponents of the Thursday view point out that this is especially a problem when the only full day between Friday and Sunday was Saturday, the Jewish Sabbath. An extra day or two eliminates that problem. The Thursday advocates could reason thus: suppose you haven't seen a friend since Monday evening. The next time you see him it is Thursday morning and you say, “I haven’t seen you in three days” even though it had technically only been 60 hours (2.5 days). If Jesus was crucified on Thursday, this example shows how it could be considered three days.
The Wednesday opinion states that there were two Sabbaths that week. After the first one (the one that occurred on the evening of the crucifixion [Mark 15:42; Luke 23:52-54]), the women purchased spices—note that they made their purchase after the Sabbath (Mark 16:1). The Wednesday view holds that this “Sabbath” was the Passover (see Leviticus 16:29-31, 23:24-32, 39, where high holy days that are not necessarily the seventh day of the week are referred to as the Sabbath). The second Sabbath that week was the normal weekly Sabbath. Note that in Luke 23:56 the women who had purchased spices after the first Sabbath returned and prepared the spices, then “rested on the Sabbath.” The argument states that they could not purchase the spices after the Sabbath, yet prepare those spices before the Sabbath—unless there were two Sabbaths. With the two-Sabbath view, if Christ was crucified on Thursday, then the high holy Sabbath (the Passover) would have begun Thursday at sundown and ended at Friday sundown—at the beginning of the weekly Sabbath or Saturday. Purchasing the spices after the first Sabbath (Passover) would have meant they purchased them on Saturday and were breaking the Sabbath.
Therefore, according to the Wednesday viewpoint, the only explanation that does not violate the biblical account of the women and the spices and holds to a literal understanding of Matthew 12:40 is that Christ was crucified on Wednesday. The Sabbath that was a high holy day (Passover) occurred on Thursday, the women purchased spices (after that) on Friday and returned and prepared the spices on the same day, they rested on Saturday which was the weekly Sabbath, then brought the spices to the tomb early Sunday. Jesus was buried near sundown on Wednesday, which began Thursday in the Jewish calendar. Using a Jewish calendar, you have Thursday day (day one). Thursday night (night one), Friday day (day two), Friday night (night two), Saturday day (day three), Saturday night (night three). We do not know exactly what time He rose, but we do know that it was before sunrise on Sunday. He could have risen as early as just after sunset Saturday evening, which began the first day of the week to the Jews. The discovery of the empty tomb was made just at sunrise (Mark 16:2), before it was fully light (John 20:1).
A possible problem with the Wednesday view is that the disciples who walked with Jesus on the road to Emmaus did so on “the same day” of His resurrection (Luke 24:13). The disciples, who do not recognize Jesus, tell Him of Jesus’ crucifixion (24:21) and say that “today is the third day since these things happened” (24:22). Wednesday to Sunday is four days. A possible explanation is that they may have been counting since Wednesday evening at Christ’s burial, which begins the Jewish Thursday, and Thursday to Sunday could be counted as three days.
In the grand scheme of things, it is not all that important to know what day of the week Christ was crucified. If it were very important, then God’s Word would have clearly communicated the day and timeframe. What is important is that He did die and that He physically, bodily rose from the dead. What is equally important is the reason He died—to take the punishment that all sinners deserve. John 3:16 and 3:36 both proclaim that putting your trust in Him results in eternal life! This is equally true whether He was crucified on a Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday.

Friends and readers! Very VERY strange is this PAGAN calendar keeping false teacher rsvp is, as he continues to show his IGNORANCE to understanding the Biblical calendar of WHEN actually Christ died for >>>PAST<<< sinners??? Its so clear, the first moonth of the year - the PREPARATION (preparaton day) for PASSOVER, that evening for the sacrifice of all sacrifices (past animal sacrifices) well into the night, all night, on the 14th night of the full moon and the following day is the 15th, A SABBATH to rest from His works of His death and raised to life very early in the morning the Bible clearly says on the 16th, the first day of the new work week!
Its hilarious when false teachers try to apply a PAGAN calendar (made in about 45 BC) in worship of stars (roaming ones) in names like BAALday (sunday), SATURNday and VENUSday (friday) etc etc and CLAIM that is a Biblical calendar NOW???????????
Buuuuuuuwwwwaaaaaahahahahaha!
Then rsvp says - "In the grand scheme of things, it is not all that important to know what day of the week Christ was crucified."
REALLY, did you catch that friends? The Bible is very plain what day Christ was crucified, the 14th at the evening sacrifice for the ALL NIGHT PASSOVER feast, the NIGHT before the Sabbath DAY and so rsvp calls the Bible a LIAR! Its really a 'grand scheme of things' for rsvp to keep teachings these LIES of deception!!!

At what hour was Jesus crucified? The answer is easy when you realize that there were two different time systems being used.
The third hour, Mark 15: 25, “And it was the third hour when they crucified Him.”
The sixth hour, John 19:14-15, “Now it was the day of preparation for the Passover; it was about the sixth hour. And he said to the Jews, “Behold, your King!” 15 They, therefore, cried out, “Away with Him, away with Him, crucify Him!” Pilate said to them, “Shall I crucify your King?” The chief priests answered, “We have no king but Caesar.'”
Possibly John was using the Roman measurement of time when dealing with the crucifixion. Matthew, Mark, and Luke, for the most part, used the Hebrew system of measuring a day: from sundown to sunup. The Roman system was from midnight to midnight. “John wrote his gospel in Ephesus, the capital of the Roman province of Asia, and therefore in regard to the civil day, he would be likely to employ the Roman reckoning
i another possible solution is mprecise methods of ancient timekeeping. Before the use of watches and other precise timekeeping devices, the day was usually divided up into three-hour blocks, and people often estimated and rounded off the time. If it was mid-morning, say 10:30, one person might have rounded down and called it the third hour (9:00 AM); another person might have rounded up and called it the sixth hour (noon).
in this solution, there is no discrepancy, just a difference in the way each writer estimated the time. (Even in modern times with digital clocks that tell time down to the second, we often round to the nearest quarter or half hour.) According to this solution, the choice between the third and the sixth hour would be a matter of personal estimation. It is possible that John and Mark “rounded off” the times in keeping with custom

***The Passover***
The Bible states that the Passover is to be slaughtered and eaten on the 14th day of the first month (Nisan 14) at "twilight," the calendar date being from sunset to sunset. This means that the Passover lamb was to be slaughtered at the BEGINNING of the 14th, just after sunset as the 14th began. The following daylight hours until the next sunset is still the 14th. This year, the 14th of Nisan began on Friday evening and runs through Saturday evening. This is how the Passover command was interpreted prior to the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70, as the Gospel accounts show.
In the year Jesus was crucified, the Passover (14th of Nisan) fell on a Thursday evening to Friday evening. Jesus kept the Passover with His disciples at the BEGINING of the 14th (Thursday evening), and was crucified the next morning (still the 14th) and was buried just before sunset (when the 15th was about to begin). That year the 15th was a "high Sabbath" (John 19:31), that is the first day of Unleavened Bread coincided with the weekly Sabbath. Jesus was raised before sunrise on the 16th of Nisan (the Sunday following the 1st day of Unleavened Bread), which was the feast of "First-fruits."
After the destruction of Jerusalem and the disbanding of the priesthood in AD 70, the feast calendar was no longer calculated by the New Moons by the priests at the Temple. Instead, certain rabbis took it upon themselves to reinterpret the Law of Moses with a focus on denying the coinciding of Jesus' crucifixion with Passover and the coinciding of His resurrection with "Firstfruits," because both of these are taught in the New Testament (1 Cor. 5:7-8; 1 Cor. 15:20,23), and Christians were making good use of these in the early years by refuting the Jews.
The way the rabbis reinterpreted the Laws after AD 70 regarding the feasts is as follows:
1. The command to keep the Passover was reinterpreted as at the END of the 14th instead of the beginning, which means it is a day late.
2. The command to keep the feast of "Firstfruits" on the "day after the Sabbath" (which was originally the weekly Sabbath) was reinterpreted to mean the day following the first day of Unleavened Bread, thus fixing "Firstfruits" always on the 16th of Nisan (linked to the calendar date) rather than always on the Sunday following the first day of Unleavened Bread (15th). Again, this was in order that the Jewish holiday would NOT occur when Christians were celebrating the resurrection of "Christ the First-fruits" (always a Sunday).
It was not ONLY the Catholics who were changing the calendar in order to distance Christianity from rabbinical Judaism, but it was also the rabbis who were changing their own calendar in order to deny any connection between Jesus' death and resurrection with the feast days.
That the Jewish calendar still in use today is wrong can be proven from the fact that in their reinterpretation of the Law of Moses, Pentecost is not always on the 50th day following First-fruits and necessarily always on a Sunday (the day after the seventh Sabbath) in most years as the Law requires (Lev. 23:15-16). That is, the Law states that Pentecost must be day following the seventh Sabbath (thus always a Sunday) PLUS it must be the 5th day from Firstfruits, which means that Firstfruits must also always be on a Sunday.
While we are not under the Law of Moses, we are under the Law of Christ. Jesus commanded His followers to observe the Passover in a new way in remembrance of Him -- "Do this in remembrance of Me" (Luke 22:19-20). Paul then told the Corinthians to "keep the feast" (Passover), not in the Jewish manner (purging all physical leaven out of our homes), but rather in a manner honoring to, worthy of, our Master, Jesus the Messiah (1 Cor. 5:8). The Christian "Passover" is to be observed annually, through which we are to "proclaim His death" until He returns (1 Cor. 11:23-26).
39 But He answered and said to them, "An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. 40 For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. 41 The men of Nineveh will rise up in the judgment with this generation and condemn it, because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and indeed a greater than Jonah is here.
The “Jonah Prophecy” has created many difficulties for students of the Word in harmonizing the Gospel accounts, and developing a chronology of Jesus’ Passion Week. It has not only played a major role in determining the day of the week on which the crucifixion occurred, but also in determining the year. The Gospels state that Jesus kept the Passover the night before His crucifixion. Thus, He was crucified on the 14th of Nisan.1 This date occurs on a Friday in the years AD 30 and AD 33. If Jesus was crucified on a weekday other than Friday, then the crucifixion could not have been in either AD 30 or AD 33 (the most commonly accepted years).
Jesus prophesied His death and resurrection on several occasions, always saying that He would be killed, and rise again “on the third day.”2 Likewise, on Sunday afternoon, when the two disciples on the road to Emmaus recounted the story of Jesus’ crucifixion, they said, “today is the third day since these things happened.”3 It is common knowledge that the Jews used inclusive reckoning. Such statements as these would require that only one day intervene between the day of the crucifixion and the day of the resurrection. Thus, all of these statements support a Friday crucifixion. In addition, the testimony of the early Church Fathers unanimously supports a Friday crucifixion.4
1 Lev. 23:5
2 Matt. 16:21; Matt. 17:23; Matt. 20:18-19
3 Luke 24:21
4 Justin Martyr – “But Sunday is the day on which we all hold our common assembly, because ... Jesus Christ our Savior on the same day rose from the dead. For He was crucified on the day before that of Saturn (Saturday); and on the day after that of Saturn, which is the day of the Sun, having appeared to His apostles and disciples, He taught them these things.” (Dialogue with Trypho, ch. 67)

The “Jonah Prophecy” speaks of three days and three nights – 72 hours. If this refers to Jesus’ time in the tomb, major difficulties arise with all of the other biblical data. For one thing, Jesus was resurrected at dawn on Sunday.5 Three days and three nights in the tomb would require His burial to have been on Thursday morning at dawn. Yet, Scripture says Jesus was buried just before sunset on the preparation of the Sabbath.6
Other statements in the Gospels require a Friday crucifixion. The women began to prepare spices for his burial on the afternoon of His death. Luke tells us that they rested on the Sabbath day according to the commandment. They then went early on Sunday morning to the tomb to apply the spices.
Luke 23:52-24:3 NKJV
52 This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.
53 Then he took it down, wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a tomb that was hewn out of the rock, where no one had ever lain before.
54 That day was the Preparation, and the Sabbath drew near.
55 And the women who had come with Him from Galilee followed after, and they observed the tomb and how His body was laid.
56 Then they returned and prepared spices and fragrant oils. And they rested on the Sabbath according to the commandment.
24:1 Now on the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they, and certain other women with them, came to the tomb bringing the spices which they had prepared.
2 But they found the stone rolled away from the tomb.
3 Then they went in and did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.
If Jesus was crucified on Wednesday or Thursday, there seems to be no good reason why the women would wait until Sunday to go to the tomb with their spices. Some claim that there were two Sabbaths back to back, the Sabbath of the Feast of Unleavened Bread (Friday) followed by the weekly Sabbath (Saturday). Yet, the word “Sabbath” and the word “commandment” are both singular, referring to a single Sabbath and a single commandment to observe it.
5 Some have claimed that Jesus rose on Saturday evening. But this is impossible, because Matthew 28:1-7 has the angel descending to roll away the stone at the time Mary went to the tomb. Mark 16:1-5 indicates that this was at dawn, after the sun had risen. Thus, Jesus was in the tomb until dawn on Sunday.
6 Luke 23:53-54

The “Sign of Jonah” is not about Jesus’ Burial or Resurrection
The problem presented by Jesus’ statement about being “three days and three nights in the heart of the earth” can be resolved, however, by noticing some very subtle points. First, the assumption that “in the heart of the earth” means either a burial or a descent into Hades, has absolutely no support anywhere in Scripture. The entire Greek clause is more accurately translated “in the heart of the land.”7 We are familiar with the common term “heartland” even today – referring to the central geographical location of a particular country. In the context of Jesus’ ministry, the “heartland” (or “heart of the land”) would be Judea in general, and Jerusalem in particular.
There are two major problems with the traditional application of this prophecy to Jesus burial and resurrection.
1. The “sign of Jonah” – Jesus’ being three days and nights in the heart of the land – was a sign to this “evil and adulterous generation.” Yet, no one saw Jesus leave the tomb. And no one ever saw Jesus after His resurrection except those who had already believed on Him. Jesus did not appear to anyone of that “evil and adulterous generation” after His resurrection. Paul listed all those Jesus appeared to after His resurrection, all of whom were “brethren.”8 Jesus Himself told the disciples on the night before His crucifixion, “A little while longer and the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you will live also. At that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you.”9 If the “sign of Jonah” was given to that “evil and adulterous generation,” it seems rather odd that they did not see it.
2. Luke’s parallel passage has subtle details that make this prophecy completely incompatible with Jesus’ time in the tomb. Luke recorded that Jesus’ “sign” to “this generation” would be exactly like Jonah’s “sign” to the Ninevites. Yet, Jonah’s ordeal in the belly of a great fish happened in the Mediterranean Sea, on his way to Joppa. This was hundreds of miles from Nineveh. Jonah’s ordeal in the fish was never a sign to the Ninevites.
7 The word “earth” today often has the idea of the whole planet. But, in the Bible, this term always refers to the inhabited land exclusively, (Gen. 1:10). Its usual meaning is some particular “land” (or country), such as “the land of Israel” (Matt. 2:20-21).
8 1 Cor. 15:3-8
9 John 14:19-20
3
Luke 11:29-30, 32 NKJV
20 And while the crowds were thickly gathered together, He began to say, "This is an evil generation. It seeks a sign, and no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah the prophet.
30 For as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so also the Son of Man will be to this generation. ...
32 The men of Nineveh will rise up in the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and indeed a greater than Jonah is here.
The parallel between Jesus and Jonah in this passage concerns preaching the impending destruction of the city. The word “as” () in the clause, “as Jonah ...,” means “exactly as.” The words “so also” () means “in this way.” Jesus said that He would be a sign to “this generation” in the same way that Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites. Did the Ninevites know of Jonah’s previous ordeal? Did Jonah go around preaching to the Ninevites that he had been three days and nights in the whale’s belly hundreds of miles away? His message is stated plainly: God was going to destroy the capitol city in forty days!
Jonah 3:3-5 NKJV
3 So Jonah arose and went to Nineveh, according to the word of the LORD. Now Nineveh was an exceedingly great city, a three-day journey in extent.
4 And Jonah began to enter the city on the first day's walk. Then he cried out and said, "Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown!"
5 So the people of Nineveh believed God, proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest to the least of them.
Notice that the length of Jonah’s punishment was the same as his trip through Nineveh, prophesying its impending destruction. Apparently, God had punished Jonah for the same period of time he should have been proclaiming the appointed message. So, the three days in the belly of the great fish and the three days of prophesying Nineveh’s destruction are parallel to each other.
The fact is, the only “sign” given to Nineveh through Jonah was his 3 days of prophesying that it would be destroyed in 40 days. The “sign of Jonah” was carried out
4
by Jesus for “three days and three nights in the heart of the land” – prophesying the destruction of Jerusalem. This destruction took place exactly forty years later. God gave Israel a year for a day, just as at Kadesh Barnea.10
Jesus’ began prophesying of Jerusalem’s destruction on the morning11 of Palm Sunday, as He rode the donkey down the Mount of Olives.
Luke 19:41-44
41 Now as He drew near, He saw the city and wept over it,
42 saying, "If you had known, even you, especially in this your day, the things that make for your peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes.
43 For days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment around you, surround you and close you in on every side,
44 and level you, and your children within you, to the ground; and they will not leave in you one stone upon another, because you did not know the time of your visitation."
Jesus continued to proclaim Jerusalem’s destruction for three days and nights. He preached it at the Temple, proclaiming Jerusalem’s destruction in parables.12 This continued until Tuesday evening, three days and three nights from His triumphal entry. He spoke of it on the Temple Mount with His disciples on Tuesday.13 He last spoke of the destruction of Jerusalem as they left the Temple after sunset, going out to the Mount of Olives,14 concluding three days and three nights of prophesying.
Matt 23:31-39
31 “Therefore you are witnesses against yourselves that you are sons of those who murdered the prophets. 32 Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers' guilt. 33 Serpents, brood of vipers! How can you escape the condemnation of hell? 34 Therefore, indeed, I send you prophets, wise men, and scribes: some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will scourge in your synagogues and persecute from city to city, 35
10 Num. 14:34
11 John 12:12 indicates that the Triumphal Entry took place “the next day” after Jesus spent the night at the home of Mary, Martha, and Lazarus at Bethany on the Mount of Olives. Therefore, His descent most likely occurred early in the morning.
12 Matt. 21:33 – 22:7
13 Luke 21:20-24
14 Luke 21:37
5
that on you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah, son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar. 36 Assuredly, I say to you, all these things will come upon this generation.
37 “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing! 38 See! Your house is left to you desolate; 39 for I say to you, you shall see Me no more till you say, 'Blessed is He who comes in the name of the LORD!’”
Jonah began prophesying the destruction of Nineveh as he entered the city on the first day of his three day journey.15 Jesus began proclaiming the “sign of Jonah” as He entered Jerusalem on the donkey. He concluded the “sign of Jonah” when leaving the Temple on Tuesday night. Thus, Jesus was “three days and three nights in the heart of the land” – that is, at ground zero of the coming destruction – proclaiming its impending doom. He was a “sign” to that “evil and adulterous generation” exactly as Jonah was a “sign” to the Ninevites. This is why Jesus said in the very next verse: “The men of Nineveh will rise up in the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and indeed a greater than Jonah is here.” The men of Nineveh will condemn that evil and adulterous generation, because they repented at Jonah’s preaching the impending destruction of Nineveh in 40 days. But the wicked men of Jerusalem condemned Jesus to death immediately after He concluded His three days and three nights of preaching the impending destruction of Jerusalem (in 40 years).
Some might ask how the ordeal of Jonah in the whale fits into this “sign,” since Jesus mentioned that in Matthew’s account. The answer is simple. Matthew’s account parallel’s Jesus’ personal internal turmoil during those three days and nights with Jonah’s personal internal turmoil in the great fish (for the same period of time). Jonah was in deep distress and anguish of soul for those three days and nights.16 Jesus was also in great anguish of soul during those three days and nights of preaching Jerusalem’s destruction.17 “As Jonah was” in great turmoil of soul, “so also” was Jesus for the same period of time. Yet, in Luke’s account, “Exactly as” Jonah was a sign to the
15 Jonah 3:3-4
16 Jonah 2
17 Matt. 23:29-39; Luke 19:41-44
6
Ninevites through preaching total destruction in 40 days, “so also” (in exactly the same way) Jesus was a sign to the Judeans, preaching the impending destruction of Jerusalem (in 40 years).
There is no difficulty harmonizing the Gospel accounts of Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection. Just as He said, He was resurrected “on the third day” (Sunday) from His crucifixion on Friday.
The sign of Jonah gives us the exact length of time from Jesus’ crucifixion until the destruction of Jerusalem. Since there is unanimous agreement that Jerusalem was destroyed in AD 70, the crucifixion must have been in AD 30. Thus, this single sign settles the issue of the day of Jesus’ crucifixion as being Friday, giving us only AD 30 or AD 33 as possible years. It also eliminates AD 33, because of the necessary 40 year interval. Jesus was crucified on Friday, Nisan 14, AD 30.

EXCELLENT POST PJAY‼️
One of the MOST AMAZING accuracies of the Bible concerns the sovereignty and providence of God at work in providing the REAL, PROMISED AND PERFECT PASSOVER LAMB AT EXACTLY THE PRECISE TIME AND DAY IN HISTORY‼️
Jesus was in TOTAL CONTROL of all events leading to his crucifixion, even the time of his death and resurrection ‼️
Jesus said in John10:17The reason the Father loves Me is that I lay down My life in order to take it up again. 18No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of My own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This charge I have received from My Father.”
Jesus, the PROMISED Passover Lamb, died at EXACTLY the right time to fulfill PRECISE prophecy‼️
NO OTHER religion OR god CAN BOAST OF SUCH ACCURACY, OMNISCIENCE, COMMANDING PROVIDENCE AND SOVEREIGNTY‼️‼️‼️‼️

One distinct advantage of having the TeddyBug on the forums, even while falsely accusing me and everyone else, is that he proves our Christian love!!
I think anyone of us would offer assistance to the TeddyBug if he was in need of food, a drink of water or if he experienced car trouble and was stranded in the middle of nowhere, anyone here would offer the endearing TeddyBug a ride.
So thanks Teddy for proving the genuineness of our Christian love.
Most importantly, people love TeddyBug enough to correct the false doctrines he is ensnared by and probably embraces in ignorance
