  • Priests Call Jesus
    1,021 words
    Why was Jesus executed? In answering this question in historical terms, we must first look at the events leading up to his arrest and ultimately, his execution. We know that Jesus performed that symbolic gesture of 'cleansing'; the temple, by overturning the money changers tables, and most believe that this act was symbolic of destruction, not purification.

    The Reliability of the Bible By Jimmy KinnairdI think that every argument that we may have come at us who believe in Christ finds itself, in the end, attacking the reliability of the Bible. Other religions have their books of authority. How do they stack up to the Bible? I just had a conversation with a certain Elder Robinson. He is a Mormon missionary from Idaho Falls, Idaho. I was up in his hometown two years ago doing what he is trying to accomplish here in Oklahoma City. He believes that he ...

  • Scientology And Black Magic
    1,109 words
    So, can you say anything good about Scientologists? Well, they are snazzy dressers. Oh and Tom Cruise is one! And the person who started scientology also wrote that sci-fi classic 'Battlefield Earth'. What a great movie... : -| OK let me go on the offensive now... Scientology is rather young. Beginning in 1953, during a coincidentally timed slump in Layfaette Ronald Hubbard's book sales.

  • Most Remarkable Prophecies Concerning The Promised Messiah
    3,305 words
    INTRODUCTION Luke sums up the mission of Jesus Christ in one quote, "For the Son ofM an came to seek and to save what was lost". By studying Messianic prophecy one is able to see in particular what Christ's purposes were - just how indeed He sought and saved that which was lost.

ISAIAH'S SERVANT SONG Undoubtedly, one of the most rema...

  • Question Of Was Jesus A Liar
    536 words
    I have found this book, thus far, to be quite the intriguing piece of literature. Lewis is both wittily intelligent and yet at the same time comfortingly down-to-earth. He presents his thoughts and ideas very clearly and succinctly. Also his analogical way of describing just about every point he makes is also helpful in understanding the book. C.S. Lewis raises some very interesting queries as to the legitimacy of Jesus teaching and the great following he amassed during his three year ministry. ...
  • Jesus Christ And Martin Luther King Jr
    2,427 words
    Throughout history our society has chose to recognize and remember certain individuals that have had a dramatic influence on our lives. Some of these individuals were of an evil nature, such as Hitler, but I would like to believe that the majority of the people we remember were the ones that had a positive influence on history, such as Jesus Christ and Martin Luther King Jr. I would like to reflect on the men who served a higher power that they called abba, father, or as we would recognize today...

    The Shroud of Turin is either the most awesome and instructive relic of Jesus Christ in existence. or it is one of the most ingenious, most unbelievably clever, products of the human mind and hand on record; there is no middle ground. (John Walsh, The Shroud, 1963) The Shroud of Turin is a centuries old linen cloth that bares the image of a crucified man; a man that millions believe to be Jesus of Nazareth. Is it really the cloth that wrapped his crucified body, or is it simply a medieval forger...

    What if for one day, Jesus were to become you? What if for one day, he wakes up in your bed, walks in your shoes, lives in your house, and goes about your usual day? There is one exception however, everything in your life must maintain the same, and nothing can change. Your heart is his; the heart of Christ leads your life.
