“Judaea
was not a forgotten backwater in the Roman world. Jews represented about ten
percent of the population of the western empire and about twenty percent of the
population of the eastern empire. By comparison, Jews represent only about two
per cent of the population of the United States today. Never, since the fall of
Judah to Babylon in the sixth century BC until the twentieth century had Jews
comprised so large a part of any body politic.”

“Jesus’
ministry lasted 1,350 days, spanning five calendar years (AD 29–33), fifty
calendar months, and 44.36 months (calculated as being of 30.5 days’ average
duration). The gospels have gaps in their narratives in which Jesus disappears
from the pages of history. The gaps total 770 days, which is about two years,
representing fifty-seven percent of Jesus’ total ministry time. No wonder John
wrote “Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, which are
not written in this book” (John 20:30) and “There are many more things that
Jesus did. If all of them were written down, I suppose that not even the world
itself would have space for the books that would be written” (John 21:25).”

“For
two centuries, Christians would be a persecuted minority. There was no worldly
reward for being Christian. Being a follower of Christ took courage. The twelve
apostles, and their first-century co-workers, suffered tribulation and
sometimes death as they fulfilled the Great Commission Jesus had given them
(Matt 28:19–20). They turned an iron empire upside down and changed our world
forever.”

“Jerome
says Peter founded the church in Antioch, Syria. If so, January 15–22, AD 34
was probably the time when Peter did it.”

“Before
you pray these prayers, you must first be in right standing with Jesus Christ.
In other words, you must truly be a born-again believer, sanctified and washed
in the blood of Jesus Christ.”

“The
disciples were, most likely, rather well off. Peter and Andrew were business
partners of James and John (Luke 5:7, 10). James and John, under the
supervision of their father, Zebedee, ran a fishing business wealthy enough to
employ multiple hired men (Mark 1:19–20).”

is Godly. Growth is Godly. And waste is Ungodly - both the waste of present
resources and the waste of potential gains.”

“What
was it about the fig tree that was unsatisfactory to Jesus? Well if we use our
context clues, we can deduce that the only thing that made this fig tree
different than all of the other fig trees that Jesus must have encountered is
that it was unfruitful - it was unproductive relative to its potential. To be a
fig tree that does not produce figs is an insult to the creator, and arguably a
waste of space - a bad investment.”

“If
the Bible wasn’t corrupted in a massive and conspiratorial fashion, Islam can’t
be trusted. Correcting the Torah and Gospels, setting the record straight,
returning to the true religion,
were
central to Muhammad’s mission. If the scripture wasn’t garbled, Islam loses its
justification. If the Bible wasn’t massively degraded—to the point that it
would be unrecognizable—the cornerstone of Islam is a lie.
To
believe that Team Islam was right, and the Hebrew prophets were wrong, one has
to dismiss the fact that most of the Qur’an’s stories and characters were
lifted from Jewish oral traditions in the Talmud.”

corrupted paradise.”

Zacharias Zacharou, Hesychasm: The Bedewing Furnace of the Heart
“The
story of scripture is a story of God creating humanity out of love. The story
of scripture is a story of humanity being hurt by all of the challenges of
life, as we well know. The story of scripture is then a story of God healing
humanity through continually bringing us unity to God and each other. The story
of scripture is not one of sin, anger, fear, and extremely limited grace and
forgiveness. The story of scripture is one of healing, connection, belonging,
and love for all.”

“I
don't remember what class I was in with this girl, but she was just going on
and
on
about raised minimum wage and socialized medicine and the entire time I was
just
wondering
where in the Bible Jesus said to go to your neighbor at gunpoint to take his
wages
and to give it to someone else. I call it the "Gospel of Violent
Jesus" . because this
is
the Jesus Christ radicalized by both radical conservatives and progressives, in
which
everything
Jesus said is used to justify state sponsored violence and coercion, This
govermment
tied gospel is used to advocate for socialized medicine, like what Republican
John
Kasich tried to pull when he labeled himself a "compassionate
conservative" and
said
Medicaid expansion was biblical. The progressive left is hateful towards
Christians
but
yells and screams and brings up the Bible selectively to advocate for open
borders
and
socialized everything.”
