  • Short Persian Empire - Archaeological Evidence From Peter James' Book "Centuries Of Darkness" - I have shown in this series of articles that there are several pieces of evidence that the Persian Empire did not last the 200 years proposed by historians but only 21 years as described in the Old Testament. This is an idea I presented in detail in my book, The Fourth Day: Why the Bible is Historically Accurate. My article, "Old Testament History Revised-Jeremiah's Eclipse" provides astronomical evidence from the Bible for this idea and my article, "Old Testament History Revised-The 390 Days of Ezekiel" provides evidence from a famous prophecy from the biblical book of Ezekiel for this idea.
  • Biblical Chronology - Synchronizing The Great Flood With The Pharaohs Of Egypt - It is well known that Egyptian history is closely aligned with Hebrew history. Abraham, Jacob, Joseph and Moses interacted to a significant degree in the history of Egypt. King Solomon was attacked by Shishak of Egypt; Josiah was killed by Pharaoh Necho. Isaiah predicted that the fortune of Egypt would depend on its relationship with Israel in the latter days. Therefore is it possible to adjust the Egyptian Chronology using the Fourth Day Chronology we have developed so far? Consider Noah's flood. If there is an event that can leave its mark on a culture like no other it would be a global event like the flood of Noah. Fortunately there have been scientists that consider the global flood a reality and they have searched for and found evidence for it. However the same approach has not been taken by historians.
  • Biblical Chronology - Synchronizing The History Of Israel With Ancient Egypt - Egyptian Dynasties 13-20 The rulers from dynasties 13 through 17 are contemporaries of one another to a large extent but one very significant event occurs during this time. The Hyksos rulers arise at the end of the 17th Dynasty and rule for 94 years. The Hyksos rulers are invaders from Canaan that capture Egypt. Their most noteworthy cultural contribution is the domestication of horses. It was the horse and its use in battle that was probably responsible for their rise to power in Egypt.
  • Old Testament History Revised - What If The Bible Is Correct About History? - This article is the first in a series of articles that present the ideas of my print-on-demand book, "The Fourth Day: Why the Bible is Historically Accurate". When I was college student, I was introduced to the concept of biblical inerrancy. My pastor, Al Jackson of Lakeview Baptist Church in Auburn, Alabama, drove the point home that the Word of God, the Bible, was “God-breathed”. He explained that since the Bible was “God-breathed” it was created in the same manner as Adam when God breathed life into man in the book of Genesis.
  • Do Jews Interpret the Bible Differently from Christians? - One of the principal concerns of classical Jewish thought is the importance of biblical texts and their interpretation.
  • Was Ahasuerus The King Of The Biblical Book Of Esther Actually Cyrus The Great? - Most theologians believe that the name Ahaseurus refers to Xerxes and the rationale for this conclusion is as follows. (Note: I am not an expert on foreign languages. Much of the following discussion comes from an article by Rabbi Yaakov Klass entitled "Hu Akhashverosh, Who Was Akhashverosh?" from jewishpress.com, Posted 3/24/2005). Ahasuerus in the ancient Hebrew language would look like Akhashverosh. The original Persian name for Xerxes would look like Khshayarsh. These scholars argue that Khsharyarsh can be converted to Akhashverosh in two steps.
  • Old Testament History Revised - The 390 Days Of Ezekiel - Let’s take a look at Ezekiel’s prophecy regarding the destruction of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar (Ezekiel 4:1-6): “Thou also, son of man, take thee a tile, and lay it before thee, and pourtray upon it the city, even Jerusalem: And lay siege against it, and build a fort against it, and cast a mount against it; set the camp also against it, and set battering rams against it round about.
  • How To Find a Business Based on Sound Biblical Principles. - Many people who adhere to Biblical principles in their lives believe that one should work only for a Christian company. I am not altogether sure this is necessarily what God intended. I think it is important, though, to make sure the product you are selling and the business plan you are implementing are based on sound Biblical principles themselves. Let's take a look at what this should mean. First The Product. In all of God's dealings with mankind, in every single commandment, injunction, encouragement or instruction, one can always find two important principles: 1. We are his children and he wants us to grow, be edified, uplifted and healthy in every way ' physically and spiritually. Every day.
  • The Relationship of Biblical and Modern Hebrew - Modern Hebrew is a historic language that draws many people to study it for various reasons. While modern Hebrew is somewhat different than the historical language known to many as the language of the Hebrew Bible, learning modern Hebrew means that despite developments and changes that have occurred, you will nevertheless be learning a language that has been used since Biblical times. If you are a native English speaker, you might encounter some difficulties associated with learning this beautiful language simply because of how different it is from modern English. Before you can begin studying Hebrew, you need to know a little about the language you will be learning.

  • Old Testament History Revised - Jeremiah's Eclipse - Thales of Miletus Consider the astronomer Thales of Miletus. Thales is credited by the peers in his age with predicting a solar eclipse that stopped the war between the nations of Lydia and Media. Apparently, Lydia and Media were engaged in battle when a solar eclipse occurred. These nations, who were worshippers of heavenly bodies, realized that the solar eclipse could be a potentially “bad” omen so they negotiated an end to the military engagement.
  • The Hebrew Language: Evolving through the Centuries - Hebrew is spoken by more than six million people. The majority of these live in the modern state of Israel but it Hebrew is also spoken by Jewish communities around the world in varying levels of proficiency.
  • Biblical Chronology - Egypt Without A Pharaoh For 300 Years - I presented in my two previous articles that I've shifted Egyptian dynasties 1 through 12 along the timeline earlier by 161 years and I have moved Egyptian dynasties 13 through 20 earlier by 124 years. These shifts are in the same direction along the timeline (earlier) and only have a difference of 37 years (161 years compared to 124 years).
  • Is A Christian Debt Relief Consolidation Company A Better Option? - Many practicing Christians and others who do not subscribe to the Christian faith may have grave reservations when it comes to the idea of a Christian company that offers debt relief consolidation. Christian debt consolidation companies take the stance that their services are not only permitted by Biblical precedent, but that they are also some of the only companies that can be fully trusted in a situation where a consumer finds himself in need of debt consolidation. The big sticking point among Christians is the same one that has been around for centuries; the same issue that Muslims also struggle with: whether or not a Christian can owe money or property to another person. In other words, there is doubt about whether or not a Christian can get into debt.
  • Marketing Christ - How does the purpose of marketing change the purpose of business? Here's an example. Manufacturers will substitute a less expensive ingredient for a higher quality ingredient. And the marketing department will shift attention away from the disadvantages of such a change by conjuring up some new and improved element of the manufactured product. We are all familiar with this process. The point to be made is the shift in purpose from function to finance, from performance to appearance, from essentials to periphery, from substance to style. I am not arguing against profit or against marketing or against efficiency or against financial concerns. All I am saying is that when a business shifts its primary purpose from production to marketing, the likelihood of an inferior product increases. It doesn't have to, but it usually does. The concerns of marketing take precedence over the concerns of product quality and performance.

With all my children grown, I generally see them in group settings, so this was special though all too brief. In an effort to help my granddaughter live her increasingly complex 7 year old existence according to biblical principles, the two of them have devised a set of remembrances.
  • The Many Uses of Anointing Oils in the Bible - Anointing Oils Throughout history, and the Bible anointing was used for a variety of reasons. There are several biblical scriptures that point to specific uses for anointing. Most commonly anointing was seen as an act of setting one apart and dedication to God. Myrrh- Myrrh is mentioned several times throughout the Bible. It was presented to the baby Jesus at his birth. It was also offered to him before his death, and used to prepare his body for burial.

  • Defining Jewish Identity - The Bible never approaches the subject of Jewish identity quite as directly as the Mishnah and only addresses it circuitously. The patriarch of Abraham for example, the founder of Biblical faith, does not appear until the end of chapter eleven in the book of Genesis, yet others with a relationship with God are mentioned before his appearance. The first eleven chapters of Genesis view the people groups introduced as aboriginal peoples defined by their location in a specific land. Egyptians are those in lived in Egypt, Chaldeans, those who lived in Babylon, etc. Abraham breaks this model and journeys to a land where he is not an aboriginal. Abraham and his descendants are the first non-aboriginal peoples and are defined by different set of criteria. They are instead a people brought into being by the establishment of a covenant.
  • Why Late Payments Haunt You For 7 Years - Did you ever wonder why a negative item has to stay on your credit report for 7 years? This question has been circulated for many years, and no one was able to give an answer other than what is stated in the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). I always wondered what the answer was myself, but was never satisfied just knowing that someone just decided to use the magic number 7. Well, upon research I think I found out why creditors, banks and other companies you do business with keep an item an your credit report for 7 years. Taken from the bible: [ The Year for Canceling Debts ] At the end of every seven years you must cancel debts.
  • "Anxiety Sets In . . . I Can't Sleep. " Sound Like YOUR Job Search? - I was reading about one woman's struggle with the job market in a recent publication (I'm going to call her "Jenny"). It was pretty grim. For example, Jenny talks about sitting down in front of her computer every morning without any hint of a response to the many applications she had sent out. "Making up reasons to stay positive is a second-by-second daily chore," she lamented. The reason this sad article caught my attention is because it is so characteristic of what's happening almost universally in today's job marketplace. Layoffs, business closings, lousy credit system, millions of extra job-seekers clogging the market . . . it's no wonder anxiety sets in and people can't sleep.

  • Skin Wonders - In Biblical times most all salves and medicines were gleaned from nature. It is a little known fact that the word pharmacist is a crude derivative of the word, witch doctor. Although the title witch doctor conjures up visions of some superstitious lunatic, there were legitimate herbal doctors who utilized herbs, honey, various animal extracts and the like to treat or enhance their client’s condition. Skin is the esthetic barrier that covers our bodies. Our skin sends signals via discoloration, dryness, clamminess’ etc. It’s the front line to most injuries and can tell a doctor volumes about our general health. Men and women pay attention to skin. They notice the color, texture and in close proximity, the softness and warmth. Sometimes skin can even be a deal breaker between people.

  • What is the difference between art and making money? – Why Beethoven was poor… - In fact there is no connection in being an artist and having a lot of money. Art by it self does not give wealth. It is like any other profession. There are a lot of artist in the world and we could observe them in our recent history time which succeeded very much in their profession but they were hungry for food.

  • The Biblical Roots Of The 12 Steps - It has often been assumed that the 12 Steps are original ideas brought to humanity through the thought and speech of Bill Wilson.

  • Christian Antithesis - There is an antithesis between Christian maturity and worldly wisdom. That means that they are mutually exclusive. They are opposed to one another. What serves to increase Christian maturity undermines worldly wisdom, and what serves to increase worldly wisdom undermines Christian maturity. And it is this antithesis that Paul highlights in these chapters of First Corinthians. It is precisely because of this antithesis that Paul has "decided to know nothing among you (the Corinthians), except Jesus Christ, and him crucified" (1 Corinthians 2:2). Paul was not ignorant of Greek literature and philosophy. Rather, he didn't want them to undermine the gospel by bringing in non-biblical ideas, even when those ideas might seem to the Greeks to support the gospel. He knew that they would not, that they would dilute and undermine it.

  • Miracles Of Jesus - One of the most important parts of Christianity lies in recognizing the fact that Jesus Christ was divine, himself an extension of the Jewish God. One of the ways in which his divinity is proved by Biblical scholars is to point out the many miracles that Jesus was recorded performing during his time on Earth. In academic circles, Jesus’ miracles are often categorized according to the act that was carried out. Thus, miracles that involved healing are cures, those that involved overcoming physical barriers are considered miracles of nature, and those wherein Jesus cast out demons are known as exorcisms. Healing Miracles Jesus’ miracles of healing are the most well documented in the Bible, perhaps because so many of the diseases he encountered and cured were considered a death sentence by the cultures of the time.

  • Houston Pastor Pens First Book - We have all been at a crossroad at some time in our life.
  • The Origin of the Bar Mitzvah - Jewish texts from the time of the codification of the Mishnah (circa 200 CE) convey the idea that along with puberty comes responsibility for one's own actions. The idea of accountability, goes back even further. The great Samuel ha-Kaṭan writing at the close of the first century states in a Baraita that the completion of the thirteenth year marks the age for responsibility to the commandments. This concept of responsibility for personal actions and more importantly adherence and fidelity to the covenant of Torah was solidified in most Jewish communities as being generally applicable to girls at age twelve and boys at thirteen.
  • Sprouting Paper Seeds: Manifesting What You Want - I lived on my grandpa's farm as a kid and he taught me some very important life lessons including the Biblical verse: As you sow, so shall you reap.

This can be taken both literally and figuratively.

  • The Canon Of The Old Testament - The word canon is derived from the Greek word kanon (“kanon”), a rod, ruler, staff, or measuring rod. The Biblical canon is the list of books recognized by the leaders of the church, based on objective criteria, to be inspired by God and to authoritatively and accurately express the historical relationship between God and His people. For the Old Testament, the canon was initially implicit and undisputed. When the Torah was written, it was immediately recognized as inspired by God, handled with great reverence, maintained by the priests and stored in the Ark of the Covenant. Most other books of the Old Testament were handled in the same manner.
  • Fasting Without Prayer Is Just A Diet - True biblical fasting requires prayer. You can pray without fasting but you can’t fast -God’s way – without prayer. If you’ve decided to fast, here are a couple things to keep in mind: 1. Numerous times in the New Testament, Jesus talked about fasting. He always said “when,” not “if” you fast. It is something Jesus expects from Christians. Although fasting should come from your heart’s desire, at first it may seem like a chore. That’s okay. Tithing isn’t always easy, either. But your obedience means more to God than your sacrifice. Like anything else, the more you do it, the easier it will become. 2.
  • Everyone Benefits From Christianity - In 1 Corinthians 1:17-31 Paul went on to tell us that people make two kinds of foolish demands on the Lord. "The Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom" (1 Corinthians 1:22).
  • The Written Torah and the Oral Torah - Orthodox Judaism holds that there is a dual Torah, compromised of the Torah Sh'b'ktav (the Written Torah) and the Torah Sh'Ba'al Peh (the Oral Torah). Laws derived from the written Torah are called "d'Oraita" from the Aramaic word meaning "from the Torah." For classical Judaism, the Oral Torah consists of Oral Torah revealed simultaneously at Sinai as well as enactments or laws instituted by later rabbis (d'Rabbanan). The basis or authority for the laws classified as"d'Rabbanan" and for the implementation of the observance of the commandments is derived from Deuteronomy 17:8-11. The rabbis claim that the authority to interpret the commandments and subsequently define (i.e.

  • Christian Cross Tattoos - Outward Signs Of Inner Faith - If you mentions that you might want to get a Christian cross tattoos to a devout audience, you may have someone protests that the book of Leviticus clearly states that “Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD.” Yet there are some Biblical scholars who believe that this passage is actually referring to a practice belonging to pagans that time, in which they would carve images of their idols on their bodies at funerals, to make atonement for themselves and the dead. Because you, or any Christian who decides to get a tattoo is not doing it to find favor with a pagan idol, the New Testament has no such restrictions.
