The comet theory posits that the catastrophic impact of a comet or asteroid caused large-scale fires, resulting in the destruction of forests and consequently the extinction of terrestrial dinosaurs due to the loss of habitat and food resources. However, this explanation does not adequately...
I don't know about the answer to OP, but I'm pretty sure that DNA has a death date for each specific species. The date has come, the entire species becomes extinct.
When the deported Jews returned to Jerusalem, they began to rival the Jewish community in Elephantine, Egypt, a period when the Torah gained a confluence with the sacred Tetragrammaton and the 'Chaldean' Abraham, politically opportune and pleasing to the Neo-Babylonians, rejecting the scepter of...
You're right in part when you say that concrete experience holds significant weight, and indeed, lived reality can often speak louder than written words. But by dismissing the "sacred," you're overlooking something essential. The sacred, though not falsifiable like a scientific experiment, goes...
Paul often faced challenges in applying his theology. In Colossians 2:18, he says: "Let no one disqualify you, insisting on asceticism and worship of angels, going on in detail about visions, puffed up without reason by his sensuous mind." In Romans 12:1-2, he writes: "Therefore, I urge you...
There is a traumatic and emotional historical background related to the name of Jesus, this is what I tried to say, this has been perpetuated and is more evident in religions of our century.

While I could cite various modern or ancient accounts, I prefer brevity
Revelation 1:9 NASB
The Patmos Vision
I, John, your brother and fellow participant in the tribulation and kingdom and [a]perseverance in Jesus, was on the island called Patmos because of the word of God and...
Christianity has many PhDs and teachers who strive to provide us with a peaceful and respectful religion. It is agreed by these great masters that the Christian Bible ("Greek New Testament") does not have the morphological rigor that the Hebrew Bible has, what do they mean by this? that we...
Your translation is valid, it is the most common.

Luke, when reporting the context of the prophets, saw no need to repeat the prophecy contained in Matthew.
1) they prophesy about Jesus in Jerusalem 2) Jesus will be a prophet 3) Jesus will grow up in Nazareth 4) He will be called the prophet of Nazareth.
If the word "Deus" from the OP represents "The Almighty God," then it is true that the Christian Bible does not explicitly and impartially express, in a complete and literal manner, that JESUS IS THE ALMIGHTY GOD. There is no verse that directly states this. "Theos" is related to "elohim," and...
Pliny's letter to Emperor Trajan is indisputable evidence that a "Christ" was venerated or worshipped as a god (elohim) or God. However, linking this historical proof to Jesus is another matter entirely...
1) Within the realm of religion, there are people who do not belong to the Homo genus: the first and second Adam of Genesis, the first and second Eve of Genesis, the Virgin Mary, John the Baptist, and Jesus.
2) Jesus was a second test. The metaphysical Adam was tested in Paradise and came out...
