Was Jesus real? Though some may not believe Jesus was the divine Christ that Christianity venerates as the Son of God and savior of the world‚ and may regard accounts of the miracles and wonders attending him as mere legendary accretion; nevertheless they certainly believe there had to have been a central figure that began Christianity.

Chris entered the room‚ smiled at everyone‚ and with an even conceited voice‚ declaimed‚ “better late than never!” Yes‚ Chris was late again. And yes‚ he made a pathetic excuse again.

You can come late and still feel proud that at least‚ you even came. It’s also interesting to note how we Filipinos

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. Paula Fredrickson‚ author of From Jesus to Christ writes: “Through this disruptive gesture‚ Jesus symbolically enacted the
