instance of the resurrection of the saints, Matthew is the only person to
mention this occurence in the Bible. Surely other first-century
Christians would have used this as further proof of Jesus' divinty. It
would fall to reason that Paul and the gospels would have mentioned it.
This is not, however, the case. Nowhere else in the Bible is this
mentioned or even hinted at. These events are then, at best, highly
unlikely to have occured. The fact that Matthew is alone in writing of
the resurrection of the ...

... everyone from entering the building. I don't know
if you could blame God for that sort of problem or maybe it was just fate. But

things to happen. He looked insstead to the way he benefited from the
experiences.
One benefit was it made him stronger mentally aand spiritually. To keep
a business going for three years with minimal customers is hard. It takes
dedication and will to show up every morning and basically prepare for nothing,
but he did . He was much more grateful when people came in and developed a

suffering, we become better people and grow as an individual. You find your
identity through terrible experiences. I have dealt with serious heartache and
do believe that I have grown from it. I have learned how to react to certain
situations and how to overcome them.
I looked up the word "suffering" in the bible, I was directed to Psalms
73:21-26. It states, “When my heart was grieved and my spirit embittered, I was
senseless and ignorant; I was a brute beast before you. Yet I am always with
you; you hold me by my rig ...

Jesus
Number of Words: 1450 / Number of Pages: 6
... 24:45-47 records that just before His ascension, opened the disciples' understanding. It was necessary that their understanding be opened, and many today need this same operation in order to understand the Scriptures. Then said to them, "Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day." The disciples had their understanding opened so that they could grasp the vast importance of the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ. Verse 47 describes the commission that then gave: "And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name a ...

... or not to read this message all the way
through may have important consequences for you as the events
of our immediate future unfold. This is being done solely for
the benefit of others so that people may understand what to do
about the times now approaching humanity. What I'm about to
explain will strike many people as ridiculous, because this kind
of thing has been predicted over and over again and people are
not inclined to take things like this seriously. I am not your
average tabloid psychic. In fact, I'm not a psychic at all. I
am what could be ...

... you to slow down, stop, sit down, and, if possible, give up . He wants to influence you to doubt your ability to believe and serve God. Remember: he has absolutely no power or authority to keep you from steadily progressing in your walk toward Christ. And he can never again own you, because you have been redeemed by Jesus Christ and you are forever in Him (1 Peter 1:18, 19). But if he can get you to listen to the thoughts he plants in your mind, he can influence you. And if you allow him to influence you long enough through temptation, accusation and deception, he can control you.

Number of Words: 859 / Number of Pages: 4
... second century, as a result of donations, the
Christians started burying their dead underground. That is how the
catacombs were founded. Many of them began and developed around family
tombs whose owners, newly converted Christians, did not reserve them to the
members of the family, but opened them to their fellow people, showing the
faith.

... the ideas
that occured in the Vedas. This is somewhat similar to Buddhism being that
the Buddah taught others what he learned as he sat under the tree. He
called those ideas the four noble truths. The first truth was that
suffering was universal. The second was that suffering is caused by desire.
The third is that the only way to stop suffering is to crush desire. The
fourth is that the only way to end desire was to follow the noble Eightfold
path.
Hindusworship thousnads of gods. Each god is part of a single
supreme force known as the Brahman. The many gods give the Brahman a more
stable form that ...
