"That initial interpretation of the newfound gospel says that the apostle was following Jesus' orders when he gave Jesus up to enemy soldiers. "Interesting. According to one of the four REAL gospel accounts, Jesus did NOT order Judas to betray Him, but he DID "order" him to hurry up and do what Judas himself was planning (betrayal). See John 13:27. "Judas was a traitor—even a "demon"—according to a new translation of the recently revealed Gospel of Judas." Judas was a DEMON??!! I suppose that a hasty read of John 6:70 could lead someone to believe this...and then write their own "gospel" account based on the resulting bad hermanutics. Judas was DEFINITELY a man, as Acts 1:18 most graphically indicates! |

Jhawk44 wrote: Lol, with our country's education scores, should the statement be instead "Humans match monkeys in arithmatic tests"? Anyway, the title is misleading: The monkeys scored 74% and the humans score 94%. That not "matched" in my book. Also, it was just extremly simple addition facts. Let's see how the monkeys score against the humans in solving complex calculus equasion. I bet the monkeys don't do well there. I too laughed out loud, reading your comment...but I also GROANED--knowing that the true motivation of this article and study is yet another attempt to prove human-animal equivalence, which is an on- going goal of the un-Godly, atheistic, evolutionary set. |

I'm TOTALLY fine with church services on Christmas day, but clearly not everyone is.2 years ago a huge fight broke out at my dad's place, where we were all gathered for our usual family celebration, because some (the believers) wanted to go to church before opening presents while others (the non-belivers) wanted us to "skip" church for once, and open presents this time. Spiritual division in the family became very apparent when the non-belivers became very offended by our insistance of emphasizing church over family-time, which they insisted was more inportatant than Sunday worship. It was a VERY ugly situation that, thankfully, was quickly resolved AFTER we (the believers) got back from church, which only ended up delaying the family gift-exchange by about 90 minutes. Satan and his people can be such crybabies, but by God's grace, we were not intimidated by them this time. |

PreacherJonD. wrote: John from CA, Amen! The resurrection should have been the most important part!! What about the more modern day production of the "Passion of the Christ"? That movie did exactly the same thing-- going on and on and on with the brutality and then almost nothing regarding the ressurection. (Not to mention infusing the audience with the catholic doctrines of the stations of the cross, and putting unbiblical emphasis on Mary.) I do not care for any media productions about the Bible or Jesus Christ. They only care about making money and not about upholding God's Word. You said it.In every case where Bible accounts are committed to film, the filmmaker's bias always ends up compromising the account being portrayed. As powerful as "The Passion" was, I was IMMEDIATELY turned-off by the portrayal of SATAN in the Garden of Gesthememe, instead of God. After all, according to the Biblical account, Satan was in- dwelling Judas at this time--NOT in the Garden of Gestheneme! GOD was the one who was crushing Christ in the Garden, NOT Satan. I'm afraid Mel Gibson, who I respect as an artist, ended up unwittingly glorifying the Devil in this movie much more than he should/could have. |

This is nothing new.I got a Christmas card from the Bush's, one they sent out to all their supporters back in the year 2000, which contained the passage: Jer. 29:13 I thought this was pritty slick, since quoting from the OT rather than the NT is more likely to appeal to Jews as well as Christians. Also, this verse is probably the closest thing in the OT to John 3:16 and definitly less provocative than Isa 55:6-7, which I actually like even better. |

I gotta admit that if it weren't for the presence of JD, Yamil, Abigail, and others like them on this forum; I might never hear all the good stuff I'm hearing from the likes of Evans, Seaton, Lurker, R.K. Borril, etc.I honestly hope you guys (in the former group) NEVER leave this forum, as Walt and others might suggest you do. Otherwise my OWN education would almost certainly suffer! Proverbs 29:9...and so this thread will no doubt continue for some time, I'm sure |
