- How Does The Blood Of Jesus And Baptism Tie Together?
By: Denny Smith | - I know of no one who claims to be a Christian but what believes we are saved by the blood of Jesus. All believe that for the Bible clearly teaches it stating it plainly - "we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins." (Eph 1:7 NKJV) There are very few, however, who realize where God has placed that blood spiritually speaking.
Christianity is a religion of the spirit. No man is saved by coming into physical contact with the blood of Christ. This is simply a trui ...

- Jesus And The Furnace Of Fire
By: Denny Smith | - Hell is not real for most people. They think little about it and really do not believe that if there is such a place they could end up there. Hell would only be reserved for characters like Hitler, Himmler, Stalin, murderers, child molesters, etc., the very worst society has to offer. It is not a place for the average man or woman is the general thinking.
The Bible teaches no such thing. What it does teach is that it is very possible for you and me, your wife, your husband, your ...

- Does Jesus"€™ Baptism Condemn You?
By: Denny Smith | - Does baptism matter? Most Americans have come to the conclusion that it does not, a person can be saved and go to heaven baptized or not. It is such a settled conviction with most that they are not willing to give the study of the topic the time of day. It is ridiculous to even consider it as they see it. Only the spiritually blinded, only the cult faction, could think otherwise from their point of view.
It seems to me this is taking the same attitude the Pharisees took back in ...

- Preaching Jesus Means Preaching Baptism
By: Denny Smith | - "And Philip opened his mouth, and beginning from this Scripture he preached Jesus to him. And as they went along the road they came to some water; and the eunuch said, "Look! Water! What prevents me from being baptized?" (Acts 8:35-36 NAS)
This is the account of Philip and his encounter with the Ethiopian eunuch. It shows that when Jesus is preached baptism is preached as a part of preaching Jesus to an alien sinner. When the preaching is received (Acts 2:41) or believed (Acts 8: ...

- When Christ Was Born
By: Brian Jones | - What Homer, Euclid, Herodotus, Hippocrates, Antonio Vivaldi, Johann Gutenberg, and Jesus Christ have in common is that they are among the many historical figures documented with uncertain dates of birth. And it is rather ironic that Jesus Christ, probably the biggest name in the list and to whom historians have been basing their timeline for the last two thousand years, continues to have an obscure birth date.
Early Church experts ventured to establish Jesus' birth as the center o ...

- Talmud Gives Unintended Proof Of Jesus Being The Messiah
By: William Nugent | - The Talmud of the Jews consists of an extensive collection of teachings of the ancient Jewish Rabbis. It consists of the Mishnah (the oral law) and the Gemara (commentary on the oral law).
The Talmud is not an inspired writing like the Bible but it does contain important eyewitness accounts of things that occurred during the first century AD and surrounding centuries.
The Talmud does not affirm that Jesus is the Messiah - far from it - but it does give many bits ...

By: Jeanine M | - The decisions we make in life sometimes have lasting consequences. One of those lasting choices has to do with what you believe about Jesus Christ.
Who do you say Jesus is? This is a question that has eternal significance. What you do with Jesus will determine your eternal destiny.
And what is the decision regarding Jesus? We choose to believe in Him or we choose to walk away from Him. He stands with open arms, waiting for us to put our faith in Him. If we ...

By: William Nugent | - Nobel prize-winning biochemist, Francis Crick, calculated the probability of a living cell forming by accident from nonliving chemicals and found the likelihood to be less than 1 in 10 to the 40,000th power. (That's a 10 with 40,000 zeroes after it!) To put that in perspective consider that the number of atoms in the known universe is only 10 to the 130th power!

- Jesus Christ Superstar Tickets - A Tim Rice And Andrew Lloyd Webber Masterpiece
By: Brent Warnken | - Jesus Christ Superstar was the first musical collaboration by this power-house duo to ever appear on stage, although there was a prior collaboration The Likes of Us which never appeared in theaters. Jesus Christ Superstar was first conceived when the two writers were commissioned by Alan Doggett, the head of music at Colt Court, who asked them to create an end-of-term religious play, the two writers created a "pop-cantata" version of Joseph. They had hit a stride with the religious theme and dec ...

- Online Resources For Living For And Through Jesus
By: Chris Robertson | - In today's busy - and primarily technological - society, you probably realize that living for and through Jesus now takes on a whole new meaning. Millions of people around the world spend the majority of their time online, which means there's less time to read (printed materials, that is), attend social gatherings such as church meetings and Bible classes, spend time with family, etc. But thankfully, there are many reliable online Christian resources to help you further your walk with Christ eve ...

By: George Pogiatzis | - "All things by Him [Jesus] & for Him were made." (Colossians 1:16)
There are many things in nature which God created that share many UNCOMMON similarities with the three persons of God and were made to testify that the Bible is true and for us to praise Him, as all things in nature should lead us to do. (Psalm 148) These things include the Sun, light, wind, water, & trees, which are all said in the Bible to be symbols of God.

- Jesus Death On The Cross
By: Antonio Mitchell | - There are many skeptics out in the world today when it comes to the death of Jesus Christ. First it was being argued by Muslims that Jesus didn't die on the cross. For if he didn't die on the cross, then there could not have been a resurrection that followed three days later?
The skeptics use explanations like; Jesus was given a drug that had put him in a comma-induce state, which allowed him to be revived, after he was placed in the tomb. But when you read Matthew 27:34, you will ...

- The Jesus Family Tomb: Science, Religion And A Rational Christianity
By: David Comings | - People often ask if science and religion are compatible. This is a reasonable question given that science is based on verifiable fact while most religions require blind acceptance of dogma based on faith. In this regard science and religion would seem to be continuously at odds. Science says, "show me the evidence or I will not believe." Religion says, "Just believe, faith is belief without evidence." However, science and religion do not always ...

- Jesus The Teacher Master Teacher Of All With Pure Love
By: Francis Hirak | - The whole career of Jesus the teacher, as King-priest, was to educate people in Gods law and will. As the royal Messiah, the foretold twig out of the stump of Jesse (Davids father), Jesus, master teacher of all mankind, must manifest the spirit of God in wisdom, counsel, mightiness, knowledge, along with the fear of God. Thereby, God-fearing people would find enjoyment by Him. (Isaiah 11:1-3) says: There shall come forth a Rod from the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shal ...

- Is The Return Of Our Lord Jesus Near?
By: Shawn Hickman | - In contrast to the rapture, the glorious appearing will be a spectacular event clearly visible to everyone on earth. Following the rapture and the seven-year tribulation, Christ will return with His church to establish His Millennial Kingdom. Jesus explicitly said so when the high priest asked Him to identify himself:
Then the high priest asked him, Are you the Messiah, the Son of the blessed God? Jesus said,I am, and you will see me, the Son of Man, sitting at Gods right hand in ...

- Does Everyone Who Doesn't Believe In Jesus Go To Hell?
By: Annagail Lynes | - Does everyone who doesn't believe in Jesus go to Hell? Yes, but let me explain why.
Because when the world was created God put a man and woman in the Garden of Eden. He told them not to eat of the fruit of one tree. They could eat of any of the others, but they couldn't eat of the tree.
And what do you think they did? They ate of that one forbidden tree after being beguiled, or tricked, by the devil.
Through them, sin entered into this world. And ...

- What Would Be On Top Of Jesus' Agenda Today?
By: Arnold Ahlstrom | - If Jesus were to come back to the earth today, in order to set things right, which items of business would he prioritize? And a very interesting question; how would it be received by the world and the believers?
First of all, Jesus would make it quite clear that he could not accept the way people defile their bodies through illegitimate sexual acts.
The act of intimacy is a physical sacrament to confirm the sacred union between a man and a woman in marriage.

- Is It Blasphemy To Ask If Jesus Was Married?
By: Arnold Ahlstrom | - The commandment of God from the very beginning was that a man should leave his father and mother and cleave unto his wife, and they shall be one flesh. (Gen 2:24).
It would not make sense if Jesus were to break his own commandment, unless there is any evidence to be found that marriage is a "necessary dirty" instituted to keep man from going all wild. The Messiah would not have to obey that kind of commandment.
But there is nothing in the scriptures that portrays ma ...

By: Arnold Ahlstrom | - The records of Jesus' prayers constitute a priceless document of one perfect being expressing himself to another.
Though Jesus must have been involved in prayer all the time, all we have in the Bible is six prayers of Jesus.
There are three kinds of prayers, and we know for sure that the mortal Jesus was involved personally in two of them. The three types of prayers were:
a. Personal prayers, offered by an individual in seclusion.

By: Kalinda Rose Stevenson, PhD | - On the matter of Jesus and money, there are three types of people in the world.
1. People who either don't know or care what Jesus said about money.
2. People who care so much that they make the words of Jesus about money the standard of their financial lives.
3. Then there are the people who have the words of Jesus about money in their minds, but wish they didn't.

By: Jerry Richard Boone | - Surely, it's the most extraordinary story ever told. Jesus, the Christ, the Son of God, came to earth and sacrificed himself so that we mortals might have eternal life. Yes, an extraordinary story, but is it fact? or fiction? One compelling bit of evidence strongly suggests it is indeed a fact. Even so, you will never hear it mentioned in a church!

- Was Jesus Mistaken?
By: Jerry Richard Boone | - Various Meanings of Kingdom in the New Testament
When Jesus said some of those standing with him would live to "see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom," was he predicting his transformation? Or the establishment of his church? Or his second coming?
Jesus uses the term "kingdom" or "kingdom of heaven" or 'kingdom of God" in several different ways. In Matthew chapter 12, it appears that the kingdom is already a present reality: "But if I drive out demons by the Spir ...

- Who Is Jesus?
By: Britt Gillette | - Jesus of Nazareth was born in Bethlehem during the reign of Augustus, the 1st Roman Emperor. He is the only individual in human history to fulfill all the known prophecies of the first coming of the Jewish Messiah as outlined in the Old Testament. Jesus is the only human to live a sinless life, and the Bible reveals him to be God in the flesh. Jesus clearly illustrated this point while speaking with his disciples:
Philip said, Lord, show us the Father and we will be satisfied.' ...

What about Jesus? Was he an authentic historical figure? Eyewitnesses Matthew, John, Peter, Paul, James , and Jude say he was. These men claim they knew Jesus. They weren't just casual acquaintances either. Peter, John, and Matthew lived with him for several years, right up to the day he died.
Day in, day out, they traveled with him; talked with him; ate with him; heard his teachings; saw his miracles; and at least in the case of John, saw his ...

By: Rob Marshall | - A recent Time magazine cover had a picture of a Rolls Royce with a cross as the hood ornament. The headline read: "Does God Want You To Be Rich?" The article talked about a trend that is developing within the American church to preach what some call the "Prosperity Gospel."
I sometimes wonder what all the controversy is about. I remember going to a meeting with some other Christians and listening to the preacher talk about God's blessings. After the event was over, one of the ...

- How Joseph Of Arimathea And Nicodemus Risked All To Give Jesus An Honorable Burial
By: Patricia Wagner | - As a crucified criminal in the eyes of the Law, what kind of burial do you suppose Jesus of Nazareth would normally have received?
His body would probably have been thrown into a common grave set apart for criminals. It would be risky to ask for the body of a crucified criminal so that the deceased could be given a proper burial. For anyone to obtain such a corpse, permission would have to be granted by the proper authorities, but it could be dangerous to ask for that permissio ...

By: James S. Borthwick | - (from his book "How To Be A Better Left-hander")
All those experts that have studied the Shroud of Turin (the most studied artifact in history) have failed to mention time after time that the image on the Shroud has the left hand crossed over on top of the right hand!
If, as is suggested, that Jesus Christ is the image on the Shroud, then he was put to rest with his dominant hand on top, and in all likelihood was left-handed!

- Jesus Christ Superstar Tickets - See An Andrew Lloyd Webber Classic Live
By: Jay Nault | - Jesus Christ Superstar tickets have been available in one form or another since 1970, and this theater classic is making a return to the stage. This classic, written by the legendary Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice, is a somewhat modern look at the last two weeks of the life of Jesus Christ. However, there are several twists and references that add a unique quality to the production, and this innovation is just one of the reasons that this musical is one of the most successful of all time.

- Jesus: The Real Story
By: Mike Fletcher | - The resurrection of Jesus is the foundation of the Christian faith. In Paul's first letter to the Corinthians, he declares: And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith. Two verses later he repeats himself: And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile, Paul says again.
The resurrection of Jesus is challenged today on evidentiary grounds. Therefore, to be fair, the evidence should be judged like any other historical event. Based on ...

- Jesus Died When He Wished To Die
By: Martha Fitzgerald | - Physicians and forensics specialists can debate how Christ died - and we have, for at least 50 years. But one thing is certain: He did die on the cross. New conspiracy theories, born of the same sensationalism as the DaVinci Code, say Jesus survived the crucifixion.
One hypothesis is that He swooned and only appeared to die. Another is that He struck a deal with Pontius Pilate, was sedated and later revived. This may make thrilling reading, but I prefer to go to the source to ...
