Friday The 13th A Day of Celebration !

FRIDAY THE 13th A DAY OF CELEBRATION !

Friday The 13th has been considered an unlucky day at least since the 14th century's The Canterbury Tales, and many other professions have regarded Friday as an unlucky day to undertake journeys or begin new projects. Black Friday has been associated with stock market crashes and other disasters since the 1800s. It has also been suggested that Friday has been considered an unlucky day because, according to Christian scripture and tradition, Jesus was crucified on a Friday.

Another theory about the origin of the superstition traces the event to the arrest of the legendary Knights Templar.

The Knights Templar were a monastic military order founded in Jerusalem in 1118 C.E. Their original mission was to guide and protect Christian pilgrims along the path from Europe to Jerusalem during the Crusades. Through this mission, the Templars developed a banking system to protect the finances of the traveling pilgrims, then expanded this system throughout their holdings in Europe. Over time, France's Philip IV of France amassed a debt to the Knights Templar for years of service. He had nearly depleted his money due to his ongoing battles with England. King Phillip became envious of the Knights Templar and their rise to power, so he set his sights on their famed fortunes. Philip devised a plan to arrest all the Knights Templar and charge them with crimes so devastating that no person or group would come to their defense. The charges against them were religious in nature and backed by the papacy of the Vatican and Pope Clement V. His plan had to be swift and carefully put together so as to not alert the Templars in advance.Knights Templar and Philip IV
King Phillip's orders were sent a month in advance to the King's Men and other Bailiffs. They were not to be opened till dawn on Friday, October 13, 1307.

The consequences of this mentalily is the Church is influenced by Superstitions...
Because we can not understand how The Father can be in Heavens and His Spirit descending as a dove and standing in the Jordan at the same time, so we mix our superstitions with Christianity


Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: Deut. 6:4
And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that Jesus had answered them well, asked Jesus, Which is the first commandment of all? And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:
And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. Mark 12:28-30

Because of superstitions the people saw the move of God the same as what a Ghost would do... The Father is a Spirit as a matter of fact He is The Holy SPIRIT !
Not the Holy Ghost, but even today superstitions play a big part in so call believer lives.
Not long ago a sister said to to me she had a dream and said she had to check out her dream book to interpret it..

Now how bad are you with Supertitions? Do you have any 7 sister grave yard dust
or any New Orleans grave bones watch out don't step on that crack and brake your mothers back.....

The Good News is if Jesus Died for us on Friday The 13th then this is a day of Celebration because, Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.....
