  • Jesus' Resurrection - Were The Apostles Deceived? - The lives of the twelve Apostles as well as those of Paul and James provide clear evidence they were convinced Jesus really returned from the dead, but perhaps they were deceived. They believed it to be true, but had they been fooled? Over the centuries there have been several variations of this notion, usually known as the swoon theory. All have been abandoned or died a quiet death. The general idea is that Jesus survived the cross and was later revived. His appearances to the disciples were therefore not miraculous, as he never died in the first place. The theory comes in different flavors, some include: • The Passover Plot (1965).
  • Jesus' Resurrection - The Evidence Of The Missing Body - All four gospel writers unanimously agree that Joseph of Arimathea claimed the body of Jesus after His death.
  • Jesus Who? - There are many people named Jesus out there claiming to be the Jesus of the scriptures.
  • Divine Accomplishment Versus Human Achievement - What does a Christian need to do in order to pay for his or her sins and earn salvation? Does one do some works, make a sacrifice, talk to a priest or say a certain prayer? The answer is that we do not need to do anything. Salvation is a gift from God. In John 3:16-18 Jesus taught: “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
  • Only Jesus Claims To Be God - Jesus was not confused about His own identity; He unabashedly claimed to be God. But He also supported it by facts. Jesus performed many miracles; 35 are recorded in the gospels, including various nature miracles. These miracles show His divine powers beyond any laws of nature. Their results are immediate and lasting.
  • Information On Contemporary Crosses - Contemporary crosses are great to wear because it signifies Christ’s crucifixion and is not only found in the altars of churches but is also now worn by both men and women as necklace pendants, making these crosses part of their fashion statements. Contemporary crosses are usually made of sterling silver, gold, and wood but is also made now in stainless steel. Contemporary crosses are a very popular choice in jewelry for both men and women. A great place for shopping for men’s cross pendants as well as other jewelry pieces for men is homme rock, an online shop which is a “man’s jewelry emporium.” The shop has a great collection of men’s crosses, rings, bracelets, necklaces, etc. that it is impossible for a person to find jewelry that he likes.
  • Are We Too Quick To Judge Rape Suspects? - Innocent until proven guilty, that statement has become synonymous within the court of law but it is sometimes nonexistent in the court of public opinion. Countless men face rape charges every year and consequently endure crucifixion in the media and in the public despite the lack of evidence and sufficient facts. Kobe Bryant faced rape charges in 2003. In addition, in 2006, three Duke University lacrosse players, David Evans, Collin Finnerty and Reade Seligmann, endured the same fate after an African American exotic dancer accused them of raping her at an off-campus party. Before the facts came to light, many had already taken sides, usually along racial lines. Bryant lost many endorsements and endured vicious taunts by unruly fans. However, in both cases, charges were dropped and DNA evidence from the suspects was never found on the alleged victim.
  • A Review Of The Movie Jesus Of Nazareth - Since Thomas Edison's invention of the modern cinema, countless filmmakers have endeavored to produce a moving picture that accurately chronicles the life and times of Jesus of Nazareth. Aside from Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ, which chronicled only a part of the life and crucifixion of Jesus, Franco Zeffirelli's Jesus of Nazareth is the greatest of all. Originally aired as a television mini-series (it's over six hours in length), the film closely adheres to the word-for-word accounts found in the Gospels.
  • Let's Review The Movie The Passion Of The Christ - The most controversial film of 2004, Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ was widely derided by critics and detractors as a two-hour anti-Semitic pornography/horror flick, complete with splattering blood and arduous torture. But among the Christian community (of which I consider myself a part) and open-minded people who actually saw the film, The Passion stands alone as the most eloquent expression of God's love for mankind ever to grace the big screen. The Passion certainly is violent, but not anymore violent than similarly rated films of the past ten years. But despite contentions by some evangelical Christians that everyone should see this film, I don't think young children should see it.

  • The Flowering Of Dogwood Tree - He State of Virginia has adapted the dogwood pinnacle ranking as its State hierarchy, and many cities in America have named themselves 'The Dogwood City.' Atlanta, Georgia holds a skip festival every April to coincide with the pinnacle of the of the dogwood plants in Atlanta, Georgia. The Dogwood Festival has constant for 70 being, successfully attracting visitors for measures such as outside musical extravaganzas in Piedmont Park and the attraction of many artists to exhibit and vend to those visitors who fancy to buy earthen, statue, oil paintings, and photographs. Flowering dogwood foliage, Cornus florida, were discovered in the South by William Bartram in 1773; the foliage were beautifully described in his exploratory book, Travels (page 399). Near Mobile, Alabama. Bartram encountered a coppice of dogwood grass that aggressively enclosed a sphere 9 miles long.
  • Fashions From The Bible Times - Great Costume Ideas - What does it mean when someone says "Bible times"? If you think about it, the Bible in its entirety spans thousands of years. Costumes change almost as quickly as the times that changed and evolved. The various costumes for Bible times are different depending on the story. The manner of dress during Moses' time is different than the manner of dress during Christ's birth. There are different reasons why you'd need costumes for Bible times. For one, it is a good learning tool to visually act out Bible stories for children who are in Sunday school.
  • Is There a Theme in Children's Bible Stories? - Imagine for just a moment that the Bible has been forcefully removed from every country around the world. It is illegal to carry, and nearly impossible for anyone to get their hands on one. Being a believer in Jesus who has young children, you want them to understand the importance of God's Word, and the only way they can know anything about it is if you tell it to them by word-of-mouth. What stories will you choose to tell them?
  • Important Children's Bible Stories - If the Word of God were banned worldwide, and you, as a believer, had no way of possessing a Bible, yet you wanted your children to know the truth of God's Word, what would you tell them? Since your telling them would be the only way they would ever hear, what stories would you consider most important? Approximately one year ago a group of Christians took a poll, asking individuals what ten Bible stories they considered most important to be handed down to the following generation.
  • Upper Back Tattoos - An Ideal Introduction To Body Art - The human back makes an ideal canvas for a tattoo artist’s needles. If you are considering your first tattoo could do worse than to have it be an upper back tattoo. Why? Upper back tattoos can range from small and simple to large and elaborate, and can stand alone or be the foundations for larger and more elaborate tattoo work if you like the outcome and want to add to it. Upper back tattoos are, more often than not, covered in indoor settings so they won’t be an issue in professional environments.
  • Overview Of Lent - Lent is the period of 40 days of fasting that is preceding Easter. Often this 40 day period is paralleled with the story of Jesus being in the desert for 40 days being tempted by the devil. (Matthew 4:1-11). And this is the reading for the first Sunday of Lent to remind us of that parallel. Other famous 40s that Lent mimics are Noah and how it rained for a period of 40 days. The Israelites were enslaved for 40 years prior to Moses leading them out of captivity. Moses and the Israelites were in the was in the desert for 40 years as the tribes of Israel wandered looking for the Promised Land.
  • The Power of 'Amazing Grace' - Words have power. They have the power to change, the power to encourage and the power to love. The well known song, "Amazing Grace," is testament to this. "Amazing Grace" has been heard at funerals, weddings and other celebrations throughout the world for centuries. Ever since John Newton penned the infamous lyrics in 1775, people of all ages, backgrounds and faith have clung to the powerful words in the saddest and happiest times in their lives. The opening of this precious song has some of the most recognizable lyrics of any song: "Amazing grace, how sweet the sound That sav'd a wretch like me! I once was lost, but now am found, Was blind, but now I see." These words represent love in its most powerful form.
  • Artificial Christmas Wreaths: History and Advantages - Let’s face it, the moment you hear “artificial Christmas wreaths,” you automatically think about those ugly plastic wreaths that you hang outside your door during the Christmas season. This might have been true decades ago, but today even artificial wreaths hardly look artificial at all. Walking into a store and checking out these “plastic wreaths,” will definitely give you a bit of a surprise since they look so real and far from plastic. Similar to artificial Christmas trees, the quality of artificial Christmas wreaths have improved throughout the decades. But let’s back up a bit and try and understand why we hang or even use Christmas wreaths in the first place. Originally, in pagan worship, wreaths were used as a sign of divine favor from the gods.
  • Easter Sunday - Easter Sunday is the most important day in all of Christianity. It is the cornerstone of all Christ-based churches because it is the celebration of the day that Jesus concord death and rose from the death.
  • The Art Of Spanish Travel - If you have a desire to see some of the best art in Spain, look no further than the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia on Calle Santa Isabel 52. Among the masterpieces hanging on the walls are works from Solana, Miro and Picasso. One of the most famed pieces of the hundreds of works hanging on the walls of the Queen Sofia is Picasso’s Guernica. That joined with the other works have ranked this museum’s modern art collection as one of the most important not just in Spain, but in all off Europe. When one thinks of modern art, they also usually think of that art being housed in a very modern gallery. This is not the case with the Queen Sofia. The building was constructed in the 18th century.
  • Was the Egyptian God Horus Crucified? - With the astounding success of the movie "Zeitgeist," there has been a great deal of interest in the Egyptian god Horus.
  • The Passion - Were you there, when they crucified my Lord? That is the title of a well-loved old hymn. Imagine standing on that hill 2000 years ago witnessing the nailing of Jesus on the cross. Here he is already near death after a heavy crown of thorns had been sunk deeply into his skull.
  • The History Of Gift Giving At Christmas - Giving gifts has been a tradition among human beings since ancient times. Many historians believe that this practice led to the development of the barter system, which was the economic basis for many societies. Land that was passed from one generation to another was considered a gift, as well as offerings made to various gods. The Romans and Greeks considered any beneficial occurrences were “gifts for the gods” while the leaders of different countries that were part of the Roman Empire sent “gifts” or “tributes” regularly to the emperor in Rome.
  • Madrid: Francis Bacon, from 3 February to 19 April 2009 - In Madrid, in particular, the relationship with the artist is particularly heartfelt because his works reveal his interest in great Spanish artists, like Goya and Velázquez (just think about the paintings inspired by Velázquez’s portrait of Pope Innocent X, which will be some of the main features of the exhibition), but also because in the last years of his life Bacon used to visit the Prado Museum very often, sometimes asking for...
  • The Great Men Of History - Ask anybody: “Who are the great men in human history?” Likely you will hear names such as Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, Napoleon, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy, or perhaps even Ronald Reagan. What do these men have in common? What made them great? They were successful because they were powerful, and with this power they changed the course of history by their heroic actions, or by ruling countries or even whole continents. How different these “great men” are when compared to the person of Jesus of Nazareth! Jesus had little of what made these great men of history great: certainly no political clout, no military machine, no war chest.
  • An Art Lover's Tour of Spain - If you have a desire to see some of the best art in Spain, look no further than the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia on Calle Santa Isabel 52. Among the masterpieces hanging on the walls are works from Solana, Miro and Picasso.
  • The Holy Grail And A Silver Christening Cup - Since the Victorian era, one of the most popular Christening gifts for a baby boy has been a silver cup or silver tankard - a beautiful present that is often passed down from generation to generation. But why should such a seemingly utilitarian object become associated with such an important rite of passage? Although the Christening cup became increasingly popular in Victorian times, the myths and tradition surrounding cups themselves have roots going back many thousands of years. Drinking vessels have had a deep and enduring significance in people's lives since early prehistory.
  • The Holy Grail of Day Trading - Sometimes, searching for the perfect strategy can lead to more losses than gains. This is what happens to traders who search for what I call the “Holy Grail of Day Trading.” This is loosely interpreted as a trading system or strategy that cannot fail. As I hope to convince you, looking for it will lead to frustration rather than success. But, first, I should explain why I consider it the “Holy Grail.” In Christian mythology, the Holy Grail is the dish or plate that Jesus used at the Last Supper.
  • God Art: Christian Themes in Contemporary Art - Undoubtedly, the first Christian art - or "God art" - appeared during or shortly after Jesus' life here on earth. Indeed, paintings from around 70 A.D. still exist. Over the past two decades, Christian themes in contemporary art have enjoyed a renaissance as artists have sought to express their spirituality and religiosity through their paintings. Religious Themes Contemporary Christian paintings incorporate a wide variety of themes. Some fine art adheres to the iconic imagery seen in religious art throughout the ages - what some might call literal Biblical interpretations. These iconic themes include the Annunciation, the Adoration of the Magi, the Crucifixion, the Resurrection, the Stations of the Cross, and the Virgin Mary. Saints are also popular iconic themes in contemporary God art. Some artists go back to before Christ's birth; indeed, to the creation of the universe.
  • Would You Die For A Lie? - At the beginning of His ministry, Jesus chose twelve disciples, who later served as His apostles. As history and tradition teaches us, likely all but one, John, died a violent death as martyrs for their faith. Theirs is the ultimate testimony. That is actually the origin of our word martyr; the Greek verb “martureo” means “to be a witness,” “to testify.
  • History Of The Holy Cross - The cross is a sacred emblem of the Christian faith. It has a deep and sacred meaning for the Christian world. It is a symbol of redemption, signifying Christ’s death on the cross for man’s sins. The cross was rarely seen during the first three centuries of Christianity. Descriptions of the cross are found in Christian writings from the early 2nd century on. The cross first became prominent in Christianity during the 3rd Century. The cross is often shown in different shapes, sizes and styles. It may be used in personal jewelry or on top of church buildings. Crosses are a prominent feature in Christian cemeteries, either carved on gravestones or as sculptures. The cross has been used daily since before Christ.
  • Ease Stress With Passion Flower - Passion flower has been long known and appreciated for its nervine abilities. The Aztecs used this herb as a sedative as well as for pain.

Today, passionflower is available as an over-the-counter sedative in Germany.

  • 10 Essential Things To Do When You Visit Armenia - Armenia is a land of both the old and the new.

  • Passover and Easter's Common Theme: Courage Comes From Faith - Spring brings with it not only flowers, sunshine and warmer weather but two important religious holidays: Easter and Passover. While Passover commemorates the Israelites freedom from slavery in Egypt, Easter commemorates Jesus' resurrection and ascension.
  • Let's Review The Movie Chronicles Of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, And The Wardrobe - Nominated for three Academy Awards, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe follows on the heels of recent successful big screen adaptations of other childrens' fantasy novels such as The Lord of the Rings books and the Harry Potter series. But while each of these series feature underlying tones of Christian symbolism, The Chronicles of Narnia is overtly intended as a Christian allegory. Written by the brilliant 20th Century Oxford and Cambridge literature professor C.S. Lewis, the Narnia stories were a tribute to his deep Christian faith. And this big screen transition is something of which he can be proud.
  • Mixed Marriages - When Paul says, "To the rest I say (I, not the Lord)" in verse 12, he suggests that what he is about to say has not been explicitly said anywhere else in Scripture. He is not demeaning his comment, as if to say that we are free to disregard it if we are so inclined.
  • Italian Frame During the Renaissance - The development of the frame is inextricably linked to that of architecture. Frames, whether they are used for paintings, bas-reliefs or mirrors, were designed as integral parts of an architectural space where they often had a harmonizing function against doors and windows. Not only did the frame design evolve with the evolution of architectural taste, but the frames often changed at the same pace of interior decoration, which in turn changed to respond to the taste of time.
  • The Tribulation: What The Bible Says - The bible states that in the time just prior to the Glorious Appearing of Jesus Christ, the world will experience a time of unprecedented trial and tribulation. This seven year period is referred to by most Christians as “the tribulation.
  • The Anatomy of Satan - I recently learned that the most popular science fiction TV series today is "Supernatural" by Warner Brothers with over 3.5 million regular viewers. The story has evolved over five years from monster-ghost busters to a more classical (possibly even a bit more realistic?) good versus evil battle between two brothers and a group of Satan inspired demons. The recent addition of two angles to help the brothers and a few other characters has developed over 3 million followers. I just left a video interview session with the producers of the show who are putting together a documentary to add to the DVD series for season five when it comes out in a few months. They asked me some great questions about the biblical Satan and the historical church.
  • Relations With Power In Society - Artur Victoria Research - There is no doubt that the relations with power in society and its evolution involves certain characteristics that the state may have resulted in the adoption of the policy of a model, which we call the law.
