Then Michal took an idol (terafin) and laid it on the bed, covering it with a garment and putting some goats’ hair at the head. When Saul sent the men to capture David, Michal said, “He is ill.”
Thank you.
Nothing better than the angel's words:
Luke 1:30-35 KJV
And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name Jesus. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the...
Any dedicated student who sets out to study the historical Jesus, examining the sources within the framework of secular literature, will inevitably arrive at similar conclusions. You have demonstrated impartiality and diligent care in this endeavor, reflecting the same spirit I sought in my own...

So the question begs, who was the threatening, grasping, sword wielding and violent man of the same name?
If the facts truly align with the writings, Jesus was born under suspicions of being the product of fornication, and worse, according to Jewish sources, the son of a Roman...
Judas Iscariot, as mentioned in the Gospels, was the treasurer of Jesus's group of disciples, and according to John 12:4-6, he is described as a thief, regularly embezzling from the common purse. His motivation, far from a true love for the poor, was driven by personal interests. Judas, it...
I feel comfortable now. From the age of nine until 47, I was subjected to intense criticism and accusations of merely conveying 'book content' by envious individuals. However, with my academic formation, the critiques have drastically decreased. Now, with the advent of artificial intelligence...
If Jesus' kingdom did not belong to this world, it is more logical to infer that, should He construct anything, He would do so in the transcendent realm and not within this material world. Jesus, being of a metaphysical nature, would have His transcendental actions at odds with creation in this...
It is much more likely to be true if we consider his real life. In Jesus's ministry, he would either transform things or use material resources to obtain them
Colossians 1:13-17
Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: For by him were all...
The Division of the loaves and fishes feeding the 5,000 in Matthew 14:13–21, Mark 6:31–44, Luke 9:10–17, and John 6:5–15. The second feeding the 4,000, in Matthew 15:32–39 and Mark 8:1–9.
Jesus used two phrases: "How many loaves have ye?" and "Give them to eat"
Jesus also uses water to make...
Yes, for a good number of those who call themselves Christians this is exactly what it is, but this is not the only interpretation. I will explain these points later.
In fact, the Jew Jesus lived and fulfilled the Tanakh (Old Testament); most of the speeches attributed to Jesus are found in it and in Levantine literature. What I perceive is that many pseudo-Christians want to force-feed a Jesus into Jewish messianic hope.
